- > "your child wearing a mask makes me uncomfortable"
What about that could possibly make someone uncomfortable. How does it have any effect on the other parent?
- So that cloudflare can now MITM their HTTPS encryption. /s
- Lol, then don't use Windows. Why anyone trusts their personal data to closed source software, and especially closed source software by an empirically hostile corporation like Microsoft is beyond me.
- A Cloudflare fronted website can't handle HN frontpage levels of traffic?
Then why does anybody use cloudflare?
- >"Windows but with even less reliability and more security problems plus tech debt"
To me that just sound like it will make ReactOS much more Windows-like. So it's probably a win for the project. \s
- >For example, the main "customer" of the module system is the JDK itself
As mentioned in TFA, "The general advice seems to be that modules are (should be) an internal detail of the JRE and best ignored in application code"
So yeah, why expose it to those who are not the "main customer"?
- > His life and activities are not in line with those of more typical programmers.
Okay sure.
I'll use myself as another example then. When I was a dev I used to write a lot of code. Now I'm a tech team lead, and I write less code, but review significantly more code than I used to previously.
I feel more confident, comfortable, and competent in my coding abilities now than ever before even though I'm coding less.
I feel like this is because I am exposed to a lot more code, and not in a passive way (reading legacy code) but an active way (making sure a patch set will correctly implement feature X, without breaking anything existing)
I feel like this principal applies to any programmer. Same thing with e.g. writers. Good writers read _a lot_ and it makes them better writers.
This is my opinion and not based on any kind of research. So if you disagree, that's fine with me. But so far I haven't seen anything to convince me of the opposite.
- Tell that to Linus Torvalds.
His whole job is just doing code review, and I'd argue he's better at coding now than he ever was before.
- > or some other country that doesn't respect international copyright though.
Like the US? OpenAI et al. don't give a shit.
- Well that was a whole other topic. And luckily it links to a page that explains the whole topic of what a "celestial sphere" is. Going to the page, I see I was indeed wrong about what it was, but now I see it is an abstract sphere, with a radius that can be whatever size you want, and that is centered on the Earth, or on the observer.
Once again, not so difficult to figure out even if you have no experience in the specific technical field of a Wikipedia article. So I have no idea what /u/casenmgreen's problem is.
- I've never heard of it before, and it makes perfect sense what it is from that intro.
On a celestial sphere (planet, star, etc) the declination angle (being 0 is at the equator, being 90 degrees is the north pole of the sphere, being -90 degrees, is at the south pole).
You also need another angle known as the "hour angle" to locate a point on the sphere. It doesn't explain what that is, but as can be seen on Wikipedia, you can easily click on that word to go to the entire page that explains what it is.
What don't you understand?
- Yeah, it's not like they care about improving the state of the open source ecosystem anyway.
- > Game dev at the top tiers is an arms race. Being able to do proprietary things is attractive to big players.
Yeah, so I don't see how helping out the big players and not everyone else is a good thing.
>Multiple projects have gone closed-source from open source. Assurances are a nice thing to have (but certainly no guarantee).
Yeah but the open source ones ARE guaranteed. Even if they later become closed source, the code up till that point will remain open source forever. So it is guaranteed whereas "some assurances" mean nothing.
- > You can make proprietary changes to the engine without releasing them (unlike GPL).
Why is that a good thing?
>You can freely monetize games built with the engine,
You'd also be able to do the same if it had a GPL license
>and they make some assurances that there won't be a bait-and-switch.
If it was licensed under a GPL license you wouldn't need to rely on "some assurances"
- TFA doesn't provide any measurements, so how did you compare them?
- Now it makes much more sense.
I realize I misread "One solution is text-wrap:pretty" as "OUr solution is text-wrap:pretty". Combined with the fact that this was on the webkit blog.
Thanks.
- I'm confused, this was created by Webkit, but is currently only available on Chromium based browsers according to : https://caniuse.com/?search=text-wrap%20pretty
How did that happen?
- > In the 20-teens
That being 2013 to 2019?
- Yeah, corporations have the resources to do that kind of investment in Linux which random hobbiests don't.
But why do they do it in the first place, instead of investing in their own obviously supiriour massively invested in OS's? Because Linux IS better, and the whole idea of it is better than some closed source crap. By nature of the GPL license it will snowball and everyone else will be left behind.
- It's very easy to hate on him for that very reason. He's just buying a good reputation for the fraction of his wealth that is completely insignificant.
If I could buy that kind of reputation by tossing a few coins into the void, why not? Especially after I've stolen billions from others.
- As a non-American this is a horrendous idea. People need to accept that assholes and misinformation exist. And you will encounter it in real life and on the internet. You can't expect a nanny state to protect you from every slight discomfort you experience. Learn how to deal with it.
- I noticed that after the fact as well. You could always manually take a screenshot to turn it into a jpg. Or just send the link.
- As sibling comments have correctly guessed, I was only responding to the "non-usable" part of the parent comment. But yeah, replace slack with IRC, email, or whatever you were using at work back in the day.
- What do you mean non-usable? You could totally spam the work slack channel with these.
- Yeah, because the cost of an internet connection/computer/cellphone got cheaper over the years.
Microwaves were also for the few, and now they are cheap and most people have them.
And microwaves got cheaper without having to resort to displaying ads while the user cooks food.
What a stupid argument.
- Person surfing the web, clicks on link, ads blasted in face. (Just don't visit this random URL, nothing is forced on you!)
Person drives on road, billboards blast ads in face. (Just don't drive on this road, nothing is forced on you!)
Oh, and if you are going to argue that a website is not a public space like a road, then why the hell are you making it publicly accessible? Just lock that shit down behind a login if you are so private about it.
- So they aren't bricked then?
- > You're complaining that a product is offering you something, and you don't like the offer?
No, the complaint is about the "offering" in the first place. People don't want your shit forced in front of them. The fact that you are incapable of realizing this on your own is hilarious.
