Spotify wouldn't lock in the artist, but labels do. If the label demands full rights to a song/album, you would not be able to sign for the label since you've already granted rights to Spotify.

It probably varies based on country, team, and nature of the project. For Chinese OSS projects on Github, I notice that functions/vars/etc. are in English, but comments are in Chinese.

Sorry for being so dismissive, but with so much noise out there, it feels like a waste of everyone's time when such a claim is made without the science to back it up.

For sure, there are seemingly endless possibilities that are not being thoroughly explored by the many scientific bodies, but I can understand why that is.

Thanks for taking the time to reply with more information/research.

It seems those that benefit most from exercise from a productivity standpoint are those like myself. Exercise has been very helpful fighting depression, and thus, my productivity. I could imagine that those without depression would not get the mental benefit that easily overrides the effort of exercise.

So, no studies linked, just a quote collection and an interview?

The DOM is unrelated to Javascript.

There are people that do base jumping that are otherwise well adjusted adults. It’s very dangerous and no level of expertise reduces that danger.

Some people are just attracted to the crazy unknown. Many can’t believe they could become addicts because they’ve never been addicted. Others still don’t care because they’re just one step removed from suicide.

Out of curiosity, what doesn’t AWS comply with? I was under the impression they were certified for almost every use case involving PII.

From a rational and removed standpoint, it is clearly not acceptable. There are some confounding factors here, however. For one, Google specifically advises to use their hosted version of the font instead of self-hosting. Another issue is that these people are clearly frustrated by the nonchalant attitude of the maintainers when it comes to breaking others work.

If you are telling people to use your hosted version of your open-source contribution yet have no care for responsible stewardship, you are being irresponsible at the expense of others.

If you don’t want emotional responses after purposefully breaking the hard work of many, you are being unreasonable. While we should strive to be respectful and courteous under such tension, I can understand that not everyone is successful every time.

In other words, I think empathy should go both ways here. Usually, I find that others act very unreasonably and rudely towards maintainers of open source contributions. In this case, I think both parties have made mistakes that deserve forgiving (but not ignoring), including the rude emotional reactions. Both parties should apologize to one another.

In your experience, what are the strange ways that PostgreSQL breaks?

If that’s true, doesn’t that mean that dark patterns would not exist?

This is not specific to HoAs. Most non-rural ordinances have some definition of what is legal to have for a lawn, and those generally forbid natural growth.

The title is actually a quote of a wire from MacArthur to D.C.

You may be assuming that every employee of a company cares about the company's best interests. I find it unlikely that a janitor, intern, disgruntled employee, etc. would be unwilling to spill juicy details for a small fee or feeling of importance.

If one doesn't switch technologies to improve the efficacy of their team, why ever switch technologies? Should we simply use the first technologies conceived until the end of time?

And in Unity3d, the GC is actually very problematic. For complex games, you need to focus on zero-allocation or there will be noticeable pauses. (See Kerbal Space Program) Object pooling is the way to go here.

Rust has a semantic overhead and isn't quite as mature as Go. Their requirements don't necessitate a lack of GC pause.

Ah yes, laws are definitely the determinate for safety. This is why texting and driving is illegal everywhere.

I wonder why it is that companies like DigitalOcean and RamNode are able to provide far better performance for a fraction of the price.

GCE seems poorly engineered if the profit margins are indeed low (normal, that is).

I'd say the protocol is at fault if it's difficult to implement.

> W3C made it possible for web

W3C provided what might be akin to C compiler standards which are only partly followed by implementors.

The rest is handled by libraries/frameworks/polyfills that get you 80% of the way there.

It's also quite average for languages of that time to have first-class functions.

Install IntelliJ Go plugin (I use alpha): https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin

Configure project SDK for Go.

Right click main.go -> Select debug

I'm using IntelliJ 15 on OS X. Not certain it's as easy on all platforms.

It's not considered cheating for the Language Benchmarks Game, seeing as it's just a game, but it would probably be considered cheating for a benchmark attempting to compare performance for "realistic" programs.

You don't need to add it to the git repo itself. You can create a release in Github and attach binaries.

Rust has a very powerful type system, and combining that with lifetimes makes for some crazy signatures that really hurt my brain.

The type system grows more powerful (and more complex) every time I revisit Rust, it seems.

I'm glad, as an increasingly powerful type system facilitates abstractions that were once painful, slow, unsafe, or impossible, but it is complex.

> I mean, why else would anybody program? Just for the money?

Considering the pay, absolutely!

This sort of practice is present in the implementation of every mainstream programming language. 'Unsafe' operations are the bread and butter of computation.

As far as use in libraries, you wont get the same performance without it in most of the places it is used. This is much like Python's 'unsafe' use of C modules for performance.
