May I recommend replacing The Unlicense with CC0? ( https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode ). It has all the same bullet points except is a bit tighter in countries where a public domain re

That may or may not hold up in court. Best to not use it if you actually want to release all copyrights.

Monitization methods that have kept me employed full-time developing open source software are - selling plugins/extension onto an open platform (basically what you call open core, not a fan of that term though). Works great for https:

Congratulations, you just came up with a proprietary license concept. That's great, but don't misuse the phrase "open source" or "free software". Perhaps a better alternative to the absurdely complex system you

I'm not sure if I can, since I just edited some things in Web Inspector. I only changed the following though. - body color to black - removed all instances of "drop-shadow" - set backgrounds to white - reduce global font I wo

I increased contrast, removed the nonsense drop shadows, decreased the global font size. https://i.imgur.com/r8CegSS.png Still far from perfect, but just wanted to see how easily I could recover this unfortunately nonfuncti

What are the practical downfalls of this? Will my data be lost if the project is not popular enough? Is it possible for peers to modify the repository? Can I use access restrictions? I'm talking about the `gittorrent://81e242

Yup, you will see a deprecation notice when booting MacOS now.

The future is Vulkan, not Metal.

Nice marketing campaign here a couple years ago. https://developer.apple.com/opencl/ Make up your fucking minds. Developers aren't hamsters. I now declare MacOS to be deprecated, if that's how it's going

Does anyone know if Apple actually intends to remove OpenGL drivers at any point, and if so, when?
792.
by vortico 8y ago
Lol, Metal is Mac-only which relies heavily on CoreWhatever dependencies and thus can never be cross-platform, right? The only reason any game or CAD developer even supports Mac at all is because OpenGL is a cross-platform API that works gr

You might think that the reason GitHub exists is to be an altruistic public service to all developers, but that's not the case. This is: https://github.com/pricing As a paying user of GitHub and a member of organizatio

What's wrong with this? I don't want unauthorized infringing projects jeopardizing the service the rest of us use legally and ethically. Invalid DMCAs are another story, but what's the harm of respecting an IP owner's va

Interesting that you say this. If the price was 3x what it was (for both individuals and organizations), I feel both parties would still find it valuable enough.

I haven't used Windows in 10 years, so I don't understand: What is the point of signing this binary at all? If users want to run software they know is legitimate because they can review the source on GitHub and download via HTTPS

LinkedIn is a good place to start. Curriculum vitaes if you can find them. Asking around. Some CEOs of smaller companies than WD-40, typically startups with a younger age group, give them out in the About page of their website. Sometimes yo

Because of this post, CEOs around the world are receiving 3x emails today. Haha, just kidding. It's actually the opposite. The reason CEOs respond is because they get much fewer emails from customers than you'd imagine. They get

Glad to hear! I enjoy standards documents which result in a net decrease of a standard due to increasing simplicity.

For starters, it's a proper replacement for "a bash script that will chunk and scp the files to a central server, and if it fails a chunk, it leaves it in the directory for her to manually re-run". It's installed on almo

If you blow air in, you're sucking bugs in and blowing air out of your central air filters. If you blow air out the window, fewer bugs. That's enough to make me not care about the thermodynamic answer.

So that we consumers can better understand this potentially huge vulnerability to determine if it's a bug, a "bug-feature", user error, user lying, or Amazon actually doing something evil.

Doesn't specifying a "version" in your package.json completely solve this problem? Can an author replace a package without changing its version on npm?

But after reading the article, you should agree with the decision, right? It was completely justified, and all options were explored.

by vortico 8y ago
I think the article does a pretty good job at convincing the most perfectionist of web developers that "Well... okay , sure, we'll call it flat instead of flatten."

I've always heard of this distinction being "path tracing" as your #2 and "ray tracing" as your #1.
