They (including Apple) told us once too often that their new fingerprint sensor will now really, really, finally solve all issues. With every new generation they tell us that all flaws of all previous generations have been solved. And once

> They do have an incentive: patches against upstream need to be maintained You are right. However, this only means they have an incentive to push patches to upstream _in hindsight_. That's is better than nothing, but still happen

It's not the first time that Debian-specific patches introduce large issues. The most prominent failure was the deeply flawed SSH key generation of the Debian-modified OpenSSH. This is a general problem, that almost inevitably happens

To those who downvoted this: Do you care to explain why you don't think that burn-out leads to losing passion?

> you are incorrect in assumption that burnout can happen only once you lose passion for your work The assumption is not only incorrect, but I believe it is exactly reverse: Losing passing is one of the consequences of a burn-out. It i

DOSBox seems to have a second life through its JavaScript port EM-DOSBox, which appears to be quite active: https://github.com/dreamlayers/em-dosbox/commits/em-dosbox-s... That one became very popular through

Why this? Burnt-out entrepreneurs are failed entrepreneurs, aren't they? There's always a limit on how much time you can spend per day, and this limit is far below the time you are awake. Push it too far, and you do not only lose

Indeed, this is one of many cases where the DMCA is almost an invitation for abuse - which was, if I remember correctly, also one of the main points of criticism when the DMCA was created.

> Compilations can be copyrighted. There's a long legal history on the topic. This is true, but totally irrelevant as it misses the point of the question.

I clearly is. Note the absurd metric (lines and spaces) to justify how the blown-up version is considered to be smaller. Also note that the article consequently talks about "Node code" even though they are talking about client-sid

This is a nice application of algebraic data types and how these make an API safe, straight forward and beautiful. This is one of the things I like most in these languages such as Rust, OCaml and Haskell.

While I find your second sentence quite insightful, the first sentence seems to fight a straw man. (GP stated that this software is high-performance, and that it is written in C++. They didn't claim it to be high-performance because of

This is a very good explaination of that topic, creating languages which are not turing complete but still useful. Also, I recommend reading Harper's throughts about it: "Old Neglected Theorems Are Still Theorems" https:&#
