You can certainly argue that, but that's not what Open Source or Free Software has ever been. It's about your freedoms as a user, you are always free to fork with a different model. I think the expectation of "open contributi

2/4 had massive growth in the 50s/60s/70s (KL and Singapore). I'll give you Montevideo and San Juan, but let's not pretend it's just timing that made Houston the way it is. It's a matter of choices that we

Swift and C# appear to have this feature, though they use the syntax fetch(accountId, history: true, details: false);

The irony here is not lost on me, but it's Cunningham's Law (apocryphally named after Ward Cunningham, the creator of the first wiki software).

I'd be interested to know what their median donation is, assuming $21 is the mean (which it seems to be). I wonder to what extent that number is inflated by a few big donors (it might not be, I'm just curious).

I'm not aware of any bootloaders that support encrypted /boot with LUKS2 aside from GRUB. GRUB itself didn't support LUKS2 until 2021, I believe; I imagine there are many people using versions older than that.

I haven't written more than a few pet projects in Haskell, but in my experience haskell-language-server is quite fantastic. I agree though that cargo has been a better experience for me, and while the documentation for Haskell is bette

This reminds me of the Tarmak transitional layouts for learning Colemak. Tarmak has four intermediary layouts between QWERTY and Colemak, each changing a few (3-4) keys at a time. Tarmak #1 gets the N and E keys in the home row, for instanc

I mean, between consecutive standard releases not as much changes; it's pretty clear that they're the same language with some slight differences/new features. I think the point is C++ has had so much change over the years it

I don't see the original comment saying anything's wrong with it. It's an older way of doing things, sure, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I actually quite like the way it's done.

I disabled mine on Firefox, didn't see any changes. Switched to Chromium (where I don't have an adblocker) and the number of ads was egregious. I count 8 full-width ads interrupting the text at regular intervals, along with one on

The Model T was released over a decade prior to the point mentioned in the article. Sure cars weren't the staple of American life they are today, but they were definitely accessible to the well-off people of the time.

The arch linux wiki has a good list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager#Stacking_win... . Haven't looked into how many of them are maintained.

Greenland may have been inhabited for 5000 years, but that does not mean they share a genetic heritage back that long. The Thule people, from whom modern indigenous Greenlanders descend, originated around 1000 CE in Alaska.

I use Colemak and vim. I learned Colemak before I got comfortable in vim, so I also spent some time trying to figure out what is best to do. I recommend just leaving hjkl in their default positions, no rebinding. That's what I ended up

Well, for someone interested in languages conlanging can just be fun! I don't think most people are under the impression that their language will be popular. It also serves as an interesting "what-if," i.e. what would a langu
