I don't really mind it on twitter, as twitter is anything but serious, and you can't really have any coherent text there. But such elements in a regular article simply harm its coherence and readability for anyone that does not sp

"But if you develop a point-of-sale system (say) and sell it to a store chain - they might not have any motivation to publish the source - even if it includes a patched mysql, or some gpl code etc (maybe a patched Linux kernel?)."

To be fair, this is somewhat inevitable in the initial stages, before a reasonable spec is released. Many people, like me, are just "sitting on the fence" and test-driving Matrix via their matrix.org server, until there are reason

Holy crap, was that article annoying to read! The author should really cut back on meme image macros.

This is often true, but if the article is "for Beginners" (it is even in the title), one would expect the article to explain what the acronym CTF is, somewhere near the beginning.

Actually, they're not that much scared that weird content will scare people off, they just don't like weird content exactly because it's weird and therefore unpredictable and hard to put into Excel planning charts. Marketing

Perhaps this will lead to less blogs-for-profit, and more blogs-out-of-interest. The internet was just fine before money arrived and took most of it hostage, I'm sure it will be just as good when it all goes bust and money leaves.

Sounds potentially NSFW. Is it?

An even "proer" tip: rebase your commits into something coherent BEFORE pushing, and you can drop the "force".

There is a difference between squashing together thirty commits of someone working on one concrete thing (I don't need to see all the mistakes and reworks you made, I just want to see the result in a nice, easy to read diff), and thirt

Has it ever occurred to you to simply... not click on an article that does not interest you, and simply move on? Shocking, I know.

Also excessive optimism. "I will finally start excercising next week, I swear!"

You're right, and I am surprised Amazon hasn't come up with something like that... or at least acquire a smaller company that does it already, if they can find one.

Refuse to consider, or have considered and refuse to implement? Two very different things.

The worrying thing is that this is even a question.

The system used on Salomon running shoes is rather good - ever since I tried it, I feel like the traditional shoe laces are cumbersome. https://www.salomon.com/en-us/blog/how-to-use-the-salomon-qu...

I would also recommend David Brin's Uplift Series, set in a universe where the human race is just a very small (and barely tolerated) side-note. While sometimes being overly focused on the ecology angle - although not as much as his st

Of course, it's not 100% accurate, but so far, it looks like there's some good observation behind the firing decisions.

It really is. After every such round, I think to myself "finally!". And things start getting done slightly faster afterwards. Edit: In any big corp, there are usually many employees who act as "barriers" to others. Eithe

In my view, contribution to open source falls under hobbies, so the time comes from the leisure time. I agree that if someone takes that from sleep time instead, they're harming themselves, but this still is nothing the employer should

That's... wow. Are you saying that the employers could (or even should) demand that employees do nothing else during their free time except rest, so that they are well rested for their on-the-clock time? No late night TV for you, no ea
