Nope, just different origin centuries. He’s is right about current day portugal and spain, but these names have not been inherited from today’s portuguese. Language and names evolve. And it’s been more than 5 centuries since portugal reache

It’s not as simple. They can be ‘z’ and be Portuguese related, if it is been carried over for generations. The ‘s’ standardization is from the XX century. The Portuguese reached India at the end of the XV century. In places like Indian, th

Same as “game developer” But that’s not how markets work. Also a job title doesn’t really say much. On all of these 4 roles there’s people doing trivial work, as there’s people doing very deep technical work. Same with pushing the envelope

Game versions are locked to a specific console, on a generation with some faulty hardware. The trend nowadays is to re-release games for newer generation. The re-release is technically a different game, so it might require another music lic

This is not blame the immigrants, immigrants is a very big group with very different kinds of people. That was a "blame the corrupt government" post. It clearly want rents to rise. Uncontrolled immigration is just one of many &quo

Well, where i live they sure can’t do that, but they can get subsidized for paying rent. Not have only that, but they can sub rent, and still receive tax payer money. There was a recent case of a fire in a T2 apartment. 12 immigrant were li

From personal experience, non-confrontational petty theft in Europe tends to be an issue only in high density high tourist areas. So no wonder it can have weird contrast with civic metrics

First, There will never be data for everything. Nor is data analysis without errors. Second, lost revenue implies they would actually be able to make money from such things, piracy studies imply otherwise, and so does my personal experience

Yes. It would be giving customers insurance. customers made redhat huge. Free software with many vendors is insurance. Redhat was known to go the distance for customers, which also got some critics from some mantainers, but as a customer, w

CentOS existed before it was bought and shutdown. (There is something called CentOS Stream today, but it’s a completely different product with completely different purpose) All the “rebuilders” redhat is complaining are just CentOS folks co

No, what you said could be featured on a “open source misses the point” All this started with a simple thing “user freedom” or “end user freedom” if you prefer. It’s not about community or upstream, neither efficient or bug free software, r

They were very profitable before IBM (now i dunno if IBMs splits the accounting) so poor Redhat doesn’t make sense.

Redhat. Did you miss their huge profits? CDProjectRed, you could just copy your friend’s Witcher3 installer. It was a best seller. Interesting choices because Redhat is trying to chase higher highs without understanding what brought them t

No. GPL means I can’t distribute GPL software or its derivatives without its source. It doesn’t mean i have to distribute it to you for ever. So if I don’t distribute the software to you, I don’t need to give you updates. Just like if I dow

Redhat was actually really profitable, one of the reasons it was bought out. Unlike most startups, and darlings like Uber, Dropbox, Airbnb, and the like, Redhat actually makes loads of money. So please try to count as many software companie

With recent news regarding RHEL threatening canceling support for clients that exercise their GPL provided rights, this blog post seemed worth sharing.

which should be fine, because heavy EVs aren't exactly more environmentally friendly, they just make very different trade offs. Yet, they are more deadly, destroy roads faster, and devalue quicker (half its value come from the battery)

the differencing between breaking a leg and dying are kinda big... Weight and frontal height are deciding factors on that.

not only that, but the height of the vehicle front also matters A LOT. A SUV is perfect for killing pedestrians, it has the perfect triple combo: * Weight * raised front to perfectly shatter a chest * low visibility for the perfect "i

That's pretty much the usual GPU+CPU workflow... Only you would have less badwith and latency issues. Still, deciding where to run such things are not trivial, the time it takes to decide what would be faster could actually be more tha

GPL grants you the right to redistribute those binaries and sources. The contract is terminated if you exercise your GPL rights. One of GPL clauses is that you can't add more restrictions. Terminating a contract seems like a restrictio
