Corporate sponsorship of open source is entirely dependent on top talent caring about open source and thus being more willing to tolerate working for EvilMegacorp if major pieces of the infrastructure they work on are open. When top talent

Moderation is when pornography is banned from r/programming. Censorship is when pornography is banned from r/pornography. Most pro-censorship voices motte-and-bailey the latter by conflating it with the former.

Seconding this. Unless something's changed, my experience with the default Go daemon they provide was shock at how much resources it consumed in the background. It was something like 12% CPU usage while doing nothing at all for hours o

Did you bother actually looking up the data? Because intentional homicide in the US is indeed more than 6x greater than it is in places like Austria and Switzerland. There is no country in western Europe with anywhere near the violent crime

"Prison industrial complex" is verbal sleight of hand to blame a system rather than people, but in reality these market forces are merely the revealed preference of what people want. If people wanted these inmates free - and by wa

If it was indeed a backdoor, sure, but that's a judgment call, not something anyone knows. As others have noted, e2e was a novelty at the time, not a norm, and the platform itself was extremely new (less than a year old), and their sta

Agree with this. Everyone who was never dependent on FAANG in the first place because of tinfoil Stallmanism is now sitting back roasting their marshmellows as the rest of society burns. Either you control your device, or your device will b

IMO one of the most prominent reasons - and one that I never see mentioned - that learning a language as an adult is more difficult is that the older you are, the more socially-unacceptable it becomes to point out grammatical and vocabulary
