Ubuntu's upgrade tools wait until the .1 release for LTSes, so your typical installation would wait at least half a year.

I read that as a frustration with the disparity between "you build it, you run it" and the enterprise-y habit to co-opt terms from free-roaming developers and stripping them of all meaning. You can still have a central team of ope

Have you tried Jetbrains Gateway? I’m curious whether it’s insufficient or just too recent, as I’ve eyed it a few times.

The fund sold off most of their US bonds, some journalist heard about it and considered it newsworthy and published an article. DI.se’s readers are largely also benefactors/owners of Alecta’s, so that seems fair. Someone else considere

What if your 10B investment encourages others to invest 50B and much of that makes it back to you indirectly via selling more of your core business? I may be way off, but to me it seems like the AI bubble is largely a way to siphon money fr

That’s a good way of putting it. Previously Serif’s goals were aligned with my wishes. They’d release a new version of the software ever so often and I’d pay to upgrade. Fair. Now I’m suddenly a third-class user, as I’m neither an enterpris

It nuances ”leader” and ”manager” from something you are to descriptions of problem-solving toolkits when dealing with people. In that sense it could be reconstructed as ”soft power mode” and ”hard power mode” where the former inspires conf

I’d suggest the GPL family without a CLA as an approximation of that intent. > If it exists, what are the barriers to adoption? Why don't we all use it? My theory is that people in general don’t care that much, or (particularly in t

I’m concerned that AI slop will affect open source projects by tilting the already unfavorable maintainer-contributor balance even more towards low-quality contributions. Daniel Stenberg (from the curl project) has blogged a bunch about AI

When I checked a few years back, even a ”hello world” Go application compiled for Windows was flagged as malware by a malware scanner that I investigated. I’m not at a computer where I could try that hypothesis right now, but back then my c

I don’t think hobby developers are the cause for concern here. To me, these steps should be taken for professionally developed services where there is a reasonable expectation of accessibility (in my mind this would roughly speaking be thos

I don’t think the rebase is malicious. Would they even be allowed to continue distributing the older commits (where they claim an Apache license) or would that be to perpetuate the license violation?

That seems quite harsh. Just because the designers aren’t perfect doesn’t mean the design is universally bad. To address your example: Why were the arrow keys on those particular keys? Who put them there? hjkl are on the home row, and touch

Am I (native Swedish speaker, so perhaps ignorant of secondary connotations here) missing something that should be obvious? Is mullvad inappropriate to some readers or is it just an odd name?

It’s interesting how pull requests remain the only tab (apart from code) that cannot be disabled by the repo owners. I get it from GitHub’s perspective, it’s a nudge to get people to accept the core premise of ”social coding” and encouragin

Look at how it handles escaping of special characters and particularly new lines (RFC 4180 doesn’t guarantee that a new line is a new record) and how it’s written in 2005 yet still doesn’t handle unicode other than via a comment about ”othe

I’ve tried both, it’s way more efficient to set it up at camp facing the sun. I think for the future I’d rather just take it out during breaks and when setting up camp for the day. I live 59°N, during the summer there’s plenty of time to bo

At this point, I just assume anyone cold emailing me is seeking to extract information around my employer’s technical environment for malicious reasons. The questions they keep asking seem to indicate as much.
