Why depend on popularity to make it open source? Shouldn't it be the other way? He light actually get more contributors by making it open source right now instead of waiting for something that might never come.

Interesting. Thank you for the insights. Now I have to look up why Netflix uses BSD...

It was some random idiot on the web talking shit. Even worse, it was an idiot on Twitter, the shithole of the internet. There's no need to address them. Most people didn't even know what the context was. Addressing it just gave more "publicity" to them.

It's not even poking the hornet's nest, it's a calling out to a haggle of trolls. Fuck those people. Don't give them attention.

We need a new license that requires payment if the use is commercial. One of the people involved in the coining of the term "open source" is already working on a licence, but maybe another one will be released earlier.

Companies that freeload from open source now should be forced to pay up.

pyenv, virtualenv, pipenv, aren't package managers... they are virtual environment managers / creators and use pip for package management.

BSD is a top choice? I only thought it was on it's way out. I've never seen it used or mentioned outside of "Mac is based on BSD!!!".

The "why" section didn't really explain why Quantum is investing in BSD at all. Did something happen additionally that led them to invest in BSD laptops of all things?

Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It's so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, ...).

Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn't know which version they were actually using, it's up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!

I just disabled balloo. It has never served me any purpose and I've never found a good description of what it does. It has never completed indexing of my files and would always start indexing (seemingly) randomly after failing.

Baloo is off on every KDE desktop I've set up (mine, friends, and family).

Probably for for wearables? I can't think of other uses for bendable circuits. But there surely will be people who will innovate and it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

And they cost a dollar to make because they have terrible performance. Once that goes up, so will the price.

I either missed it or it isn't in the "developer tools" section: how do you connect this to an IDE or editor with an LSP or DAP? The image might have python:3.12 but locally you only have python:3.6 mind you, so it's not something one can ignore. How do you handle this?

Even this article of the thread states it dropped from 76% to 24% through the introduction of Rust.

If you seriously think:

  • most of those memory bugs were because "engineers didn't care" or "didn't double check their code"
  • the bugs were mostly introduced by newbies
  • those products were coded by incompetent people

I'd like to see the water you walk on.

Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an asteroid may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade, scientists say. Theoretically created just after the big bang, these examples of so-called primordial black holes could explain the missing dark matter thought to dominate our universe. And if they sneak by the moon or Mars, scientists should be able to detect them, a new study shows.

 
 

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

 

These findings may also explain the "missing plastic problem" that has puzzled scientists, where about 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found. The team hypothesizes that coral may be acting as a "sink" for microplastics by absorbing it from the oceans. Their findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

 
 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

 

I've only found 2 in 1 / 2 monitors wide with aka 32:9. They call them "ultrawide" but IMO they should be called double wide monitors. Even the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 monitor, despite its size, is still just 32:9.

If they launch, the highlight of the mission will be the first spacewalk composed entirely of non-professional astronauts, who will be wearing sleek, newly developed SpaceX extravehicular activity (EVA) suits outfitted with heads-up displays, helmet cameras, and an advanced joint mobility system.

 

Linux maintainers are unwilling to get rust into the kernel, so some rust folks decided to start writing a new kernel with same ABI. This allows them to make new architectural decisions. An example being their "frame kernel" (something between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel).

If I may say, it's more legible and the tooling is way better, right off the bat.
