Ruby is strongly typed, just not statically typed (by default). There's a lot less ambiguity in Ruby's types compared to, say, JS or PHP. But yes, optional type checking would be a nice thing indeed.

I've never seen systemd users make t-shirts against the others, send death threats, hijack any conversation where systemd might come up to advocate their side… non-systemd advocates on the other hand…

Of course you can, I've posted things visible for only specific lists before.

At the very least I don't need a "Nylas ID" and Nylas cloud stuff with Thunderbird. Just a client and (my own) IMAP server.

Wouldn't wayland be the right thing™ for this kind of stuff? Basically have the terminal become a wayland (sub)compositor, with some commands to set up buffers to write to.

No, but sometimes people are a bit careless in their Gemfile I guess.

Doesn't matter whether they are fabless, or what they knew and when. They distribute GPL'ed software, they're on the hook, and they need to abide by the rules. And after all this time and all the warnings they've receive

I agree, but well, you can choose to run only or mostly GTK or QT apps, and stop caring the occasional out of place app (Blender? Steam?) doesn't look consistent. And to be honest, I don't see why I would care that apps like Blend

How is that surprising? The people that do the work get to set the course of the project; the Gnome devs are scratching their own itch. QT caters to more platforms, because QT _is_ Digia/The QT company's product. For Gnome devs Gn

Just a thought, but maybe it'd be nice to allow people to (optionally of course) mark their uploads as "OK for public use" – using a CC license or something. This way other visitors can see and maybe choose from a gallery of

Oh yeah, my beloved MSX (sniff). Small correction: it wasn't launched in 1985 - I bought mine (A Philips VG-8000) in 1983.

Yeah! None of this one-man-one-vote crap, back to some good old fashioned plutocracy. After all if the top 10-20% own 90% of the wealth, it's only right and proper that they also own an equivalent share of the political power. ;-)

I'd agree with parent, don't put up with humiliation; however, I don't necessarily consider harsh criticism humiliation: it depends. That said, about your coding-to-vision thing: it sounds like he's just unable to dedica

While I agree with you that in general there's nothing wrong with RPC, I'm not sure what the advantage in this case is. You seem to have an idea, though…?

Oh right, now I see the: ["error", { type: "unknownMethod"}, "client-id"] -bit. Still, it sounds like you're reinventing HTTP verbs and statuscodes and embedding them inline in the JSON just to be able to

I hate to be critical considering the considerable work they've put in, but I don't buy their "JMAP is actually more REST-like than most “RESTful” APIs" statement. But maybe I'm missing a whole lot. REST doesn'

Very interesting. I always wanted a solution to asynchronously replicate 100's of GBs over long distances. I've longingly looked at Intermezzo/Coda a long time ago but it never went anywhere; played with block level replicati

I'd beg to differ: at the very least it provides hints and conventions on common, useful, well-integrated gems. The Sinatra apps I've seen that had gotten a bit fatter over time tended to be all over the place, dependencies and qu

I suspect you vastly underestimate the number of what you call "overly-sensitive" people – I'd call them the norm. For example, there's only 2-5% women in Debian or Ubuntu. Where did the other 48% disappear to? Certain c

"Unicode everywhere" is something I hear often, but don't really agree with, unless you mean "Unicode by default and preferred and easy". The real world still has and probably always will have a lot of text in other

I think you need to look a bit more closely at what's actually going into PID 1. See for example: http://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/docs/systemd-dependenci... I don't see any logind/hostnamed&#x2

Not everything of systemd is in PID 1. And yes, what some people consider necessary and important or even essential features missing from sysvinit, others consider bloat. Just to ensure we're all talking about the same thing, here&#x27

I didn't take the time yet to have a proper look at it, but nothing stops you from doing batch REST operations on collections. You can do compound documents - with references - à la jsonapi.org. One thing I would consider essential tho

It's not exactly a level playing field, with a limited number of taxi licenses being bought and sold on the open market for around 200k-250k. No surprise they're not happy and want to recoup their investment… The Rude Baguette did
