This is what IBM did with IBM i / AS/400 / System/38 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_i#TIMI . IBM i is on a POWER CPU today, but can still run System/38 binaries from the 70s, thanks to in

Of course. The vigorous policing is decentralized, so you can choose which community standards you would like your interactions to be guided by. There are safe spaces, there are crazy freezepeach places, and there are many places in between

Precedent doesn't come into it (until it does), it's all about what's in your contract. Work for Red Hat? You own your free software contributions, even those made at work. Work for Google? They own even the small lump of gre

We didn't have to be first. Other primates might have picked up the rock before we did, but eventually lost the race. Maybe the fire-cooking, rock-throwing domesticating niche is just that competitive. So it might be more like "we

I found shipit so amazing. I went there to order like 5 discs and the form came back saying that hey, actually the discs are pretty cheap and our main cost is postage per shipping unit so why don't you order like 15 more just in case?

If it is in fact the case that only some redex models of `letrec` and `set!` were fixed, then it is indeed misleading that the release notes say "Racket's implementation" of them was fixed. Unless you're the one who did

Friendica is still alive and can do this! It's primarily microblogging-oriented, but you can subscribe to any RSS feed too. And users (including RSS feeds) can be grouped, so you could have one group "tech feeds", one group &

Yeah. The proper analogy is: Somebody doing something they didn't like had a gmail address, and they raided the internal servers of Google's German sales office.

The GPL exists to preserve the rights of downstream users. In doing so, it restricts the rights of downstream developers and distributors from restricting the rights of their users. But we could go on and on back and forth about this. I jus

In general, it would be interesting to see to what degree people manage to build bridges between the IndieWeb and the ActivityPub web. MicroPub and ActivityPub grew out of the same working group, because the two camps couldn't find sha

by clacke2 9y ago
Not at all. ActivityPub comes from pump.io, which was based on the experiences with OStatus. BuddyCloud is a parallel track to OStatus, possibly inspired by the OStatus predecessor OpenMicroBlogging, but I don't know that. Both tracks

by clacke2 9y ago
WebSub literally does the same thing, except ActivityPub cuts away the middle layers, removing some redundancy on the way. It makes ActivityPub less of a protocol hodge-podge than OStatus, which has the same drawbacks and benefits as any in
