Yeah it does, not sure why are we talking about that though. It's a complete misrepresentation of the situation. Let's take Google services as an example. I'm no fan of Google but their integrated search/Maps/PoI&#x

I said finally, meaning it's the last straw, not that it's the sole reason.

Well my pain got very significantly lower when I started to use React instead of jQuery and Ext.js, and then even lower with TypeScript. Since then the pain has been so low I ditched C# and switched to TS full-stack. Nothing I tried since t

What if I want to buy a fully integrated, fully bundled install-and-forget OS? If the EU makes Apple unbundle all the good stuff from macOS I'll finally move to the US.

What obligation? They are paying taxes. That's more than enough.

I have heard this exact sentence so many times already. Are you sure? I'd take a good look inside myself now if I were in your shoes.

Heh... I'm just helping out on a TS project with 50k files/modules (over 1.5M lines), not counting the 200+ external dependencies (or their subdependencies).

Thanks to you and the others who replied too, very insightful. You put me on the right track to learn more about this, much appreciated.

How does that work? How can they determine my execution time is spent waiting and not processing?

Individually it doesn't make much sense. On the other hand, in some parts of the world (I live in Europe and it's normal around here) the operator owns the modem and the last mile infrastructure - so perhaps they would do it if th

I think the opposite is more irrational. I want to be able to sell my work, and I want to own my work for myself too, otherwise I have no chance of competing against the big corporates. GPL licenses don't make any sense if the authors

This is exactly the problem - the advice is valid, but the developers can't see their implementation is not, and my examples of maintainable code seemingly go against the advices. They think their huge class diagrams and statically unv

He was a major asshole, however he was very good at running tech companies and managing tech products. That's why people drool over him. Watch the YouTube videos from his Next days, and show me a corporate CEO on that level of competen

I tried building a Rust project and it failed because it consumed my entire remaining 8 GB of disk space... Good old NPM. I tried running a Python project and the necessary apt-get pulled 2 GB of dependencies and conflicted with some of so

You talk about "countries" as if anybody other than the ruling elite mattered at all. They do whatever they can to improve profits from their family business - the state itself. The opinion of the population doesn't matter, i

Just having a huge bikeshedding festival at work after I wrote this sentence into guidelines... The worst thing is how hard it is to talk about it because all the books - by authors making more money from talking about software than from wr

If I sell you copyright of my code, I might still have it on my computer but I lost any rights to use it. This is a standard business arrangement that anyone on this site knows and uses. I don't think it's as complicated as you ma

It's not ambiguous, it's a collective decision between engineers and business stakeholders. The ambiguousness comes from engineers not having full information.

If we exchange ownership of ideas, we end up with one idea each. That's different from providing usage rights to our ideas to each other.

Wow, sounds like a product idea. It could even provide an ADSL-4G/5G bridge. Is anybody selling this?

Pain? Every new tool brought less pain and more performance to me... Lately it's just a "npm install" and I'm migrated, no configuration needed.

Rspack supports JS plugins made for Webpack. I even think there is some overlap of the dev team.

At a business, all of these - a good engineer/architect has to find the right balance.

If an author sells the rights and does, should the buyer automatically lose what they bought? Sounds like that would severely decrease what authors can earn, especially older ones.

What did you expect from an autocratic monarchy? It's sunny and the people are nice but that doesn't mean the ruling elite is nice too.

To be frank I don't care about these questions, perhaps you're right and it should, but whatever. It's a solution I used in the three cases it was necessary that blocked moving my codebase to ESM.

That's just a way to sink faster. Even in the parallel.
