I genuinely believe OSS is great for sharing knowledge, but I also genuinely believe that no other industry out there has managed to play itself at this scale. Every single tool you want is made available for free by devs who burn themselves out writing free code to impress employers. Essentially, OSS devs have fought against corporate only to become trapped by corporate because now software has near zero value. Pretty illogical if you ask me. I'll buy a license for either of the two (postman or insomania), just because this crap needs to stop.
yeah let's all split those 8$ it costs, because that's what will get us out of the grind. 8$ a month is less than two coffees, if you need to split such costs among peers then you're probably in the wrong job.
coughlinuxcough what? linux vs corporate is not the same as literally cloning every small piece of software out there for the sake of getting a job and glory.
Oh look a free clone of a commercial product, let's all jump on it and undermine the devs of postman and insomnia, whom have escaped the 9 to 5 by building awesome tools, because that's what we do: we kill indie development with free clones of small projects.
Ah the memories! Had no idea Haiku was an open source implementation of BeOS. Port Electron to it, and I commit to writing tools for this OS in my spare time!
It’s 2020 and the EU still thinks more bureaucracy is the way to go. I am not entirely sure US websites should necessary spend more to accommodate GDPR, which itself should be revised and made less inconvenient.
Rust appears to have a strong push on hackernews, and perhaps DLang should push harder in here. I remember first time i used this language on a friday night on my raspebrry pi and it just worked. The learning curve was pretty low for doing basic stuff such as controlling gpios. Wondering if d lang should perhaps target web devs more, as an easy way to extend, say, nodejs or write wasm apps. It really looks promising.
The clearest explanation of how gpus work for games and how to optimise performance. Can anyone please recommend more articles as detailed and clear as this one on the topic, i am struggling finding them?
One needs to factor in all costs associated with a source of energy, including environmental impact and health costs, which make coal more expensive than other sources. If population lives in a highly polluted area or country that means more health issues and less productivity, more costs for health care and less money to spend on goods and services.
"The family farmer is going extinct." This is a pretty sad state of affairs. I feel like this is true for other industries as well, including tech. Corporate socialism appears to be eating all forms of free enterprise and while it has some benefits such as scale products, it has far too many drawbacks such as less freedom.
Yeah having been back to Romania for a while now I think the article is a gross understatement of the amount of fraud and poor investment choices surrounding EU funding. However, the country is undergoing a massive bubble at the moment, and most areas appear to be undeserved or served by low quality services. By following the example of this Egyptian guy, one could really make a difference and turn a nice, clean, profit in here.
This seems like a recipe for success that can be applied in some east european countries still lagging behind the rest of the eu: take old and run down shop in areas with a good potential, provide kick ass services and improve the look and feel of things.
