It's generally not used to push policy affecting billions of people, though. But as I said in another comment, let's blame whoever listened to that garbage fire of a model, not the model itself. We don't listen to Minecraft m

Blame the politicians who listened to some random guy with some code instead of the random guy with some code himself.

Looks cool. I'll wait six more months to try whatever will replace it.

The main source would be the website of his own research center https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/en/ (but it's mostly the content in French that's interesting) He had a lengthy interview on French media

Right now in France one doctor (professor Didier Raoult) has been mostly right about the whole thing (in my view), and he became popular thanks to YouTube. Yet his views are in radical opposition to both the French government and the WHO. S

Well, there is only one real "general purpose" OS that runs on supercomputers, mainframes, servers, laptops, tablets, mobile and embedded, and that's Linux. So it's also the most secure.

They do care about security. They just don't care about Rust.

In fact I would be curious if a single medical textbook anywhere in the world mentions this as a possible solution to any epidemic. It seems to be a innovation, coming from politicians more than scientists. The practice so far, still uncomm

That page does not really offer any explanation. For all intents and purposes, firmware is like a key or a password you must supply to the device to make it work. The driver, which is indeed open-source, just says: "here, device, is th

I don't see how it aligns with their ethical standpoint. Firmware is just a blob you load into the device. The alternative is to have it already burned into ROM. What exactly do you achieve by refusing to load it? Are you more free in

They've been flooded with freeware/freemium (often malware or adware disguised as a gift) so they lost the ability to identify value. More informed people still pay for software.

This is absurd. I've worked on very successful SaaS (B2B, not B2C) that dominate their industry, it was started by a bunch of students writing shit in PHP, then got rewritten in Java at some point. That's it. Along the lines it pi

Yeah they should do that with the libc, keyboard drivers, etc. as well.

Yeah, I want traders to be able to communicate and trade freely away from the prying eyes of their... employer?

Yeah apt is still fine and I've never seen it update anything behind my back.

Generally it's not the drivers but the firmware for those devices, i.e. code that runs inside the device. I think it's an over-zealous position from Debian not to redistribute firmware. Even systems that are very strict about lice

I'm not saying it's the wrong direction, it's just funny to observe.

You forgot to mention Erlang, MongoDB, Rebol, zsh, PostgreSQL, Haskell, Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.9, DB2, Ansible, NetBSD and an elastic scalable automated deployment and analysis stack based on virtualized Visual Basic 6. Any comp

Next, have all the settings in some sort of central database. And in 20 years, Red Hat will have finally finished re-inventing Windows NT on top of the Linux kernel.

The idea that you can insure a stock portfolio against market events is bogus on its face, without any fancy math or logical argument. Do I need to even discuss it?

Way before that they had ARM-based Pocket PCs running Windows CE (or Windows Mobile).

That's not really the point. When some (alleged) offense is committed, intent matters. So the question is, when the company came up with those flavors and marketing, who did they have in mind? Do they have Powerpoints showing that midd

Like most people I'm 1) not a specialist at all and 2) still have an opinion. One thing I'm looking at is the excess mortality in a country like Sweden, which had an outbreak (in the top 25 countries by cases) but has not done any

It's YOUtube, not CNN. Or maybe that's what they ultimately want to become?

Ah, you are indeed correct. I should have said, "there is no theory there, it did happen". But there was a conspiracy indeed.
