While I agree with your point, if you're going to critique law enforcement this only goes halfway: In the US, the idea of the publicly funded law enforcement officer can trace its lineage back to antebellum slave catchers. Much like th

Carbon emissions aren't the only impact humans have on the environment. As one other commenter pointed out, the further humans sprawl the more we encroach on wildlife habitat. This trope of environment === greenhouse gases in the atmos

The trick is declining to sign them, provided you have enough tact to do so in a way that doesn't signal that you're hard to work with in general.

Judging off Glassdoor reviews, most of their devs are embedded ('forward-deployed' in their militaristic lingo). From that and my own short interview experience a few years ago, a lot of their revenue comes from bespoke ETL for cl

This retconned history of the mistake that's popped up in the last few years is bizarre. No one thought this at the time. Bush tripped over his words all the time. It's much more likely that than a calculated move (that backfired

I get the impression you're over-simplifying this and grasping for whatever assumption you need just to try to make your point. While some of us have run with my oversimplification, there are plenty of comments in this sub-thread about

Everyone replying answered this, I'd just like to point out that the answer to 'could you elaborate a bit more' is to read the parent article. Another excerpt: > In 2013, the GSA Inspector General traced a similar situatio

This entirely misses the forest for the trees. And granted the author's bias gets in the way of his attempt to point out that forest. Their bias aligns with mine, but with less editorialization IMO the following would be more clear: It

True for me as well, similar setup (amdgpu, not nouveau, except at work). The only time FF 'crashes' is when I update while it's running, and even then it gracefully degrades and lets me know I have to restart it. With the

It's sort of a convenience fee. I agree with your App Mafia take but my guess is folks that can't be troubled to use F-Droid probably weren't going to donate in the first place. For instance, D-Sub is available for free on F-

Re-reading it it sounds like it swung from fastcgi because Apache didn't have PHP support, to mod_php, and back to fastcgi (FPM) because Apache had poor concurrency support. It no longer does, but from someone who has to deal with this

A fair point, and I don't have a silver bullet. But wherever we talk about markets optimizing utility we need to acknowledge that to-date that's purely theoretical, and hand-waving away externalities and the commons has brought th
