Good riddance. A thinly veiled power grab to make the web a walled garden. Now lets do the obvious thing and just do preferential treatment for fast loading pages.
This! I got this feature enabled, it works fine, why remove it. How much dev work is saved by removing a compact view? Mozilla is straying further and further from the open source icon it was, death by management....
Yet Linux is way more popular option both on the server and the desktop. Way way way more people and companies contribute. And it seems that BSD use is declining on servers? [1] MacOs is a unix but how does that help the BSD community, as most code is build upon it and the changes don't really trickle back. Companies just take, if you can do whatever you want with the code. You can wish that everybody shared back in a perfect world, reality proves this is simply not true. At least the company trying to influence development has to contribute to gain influence, and you can fork it (with their changes!) if you don't like that.
The GNU license at least somewhat protective. To each their own, but I would never release software under a permissive free license.

On servers licensing isn't that important as you don't have to share any modifications. Licensing plays role on deployment where you may or may not have to share source code.

As counter-argument Sony used FreeBSD as basis to their PS3/4/5 OS and they've sent a number of patches upstream.
Yes the compromise is worth it. These are the best SoCs available on the open market. If we aspire to more open and repairable devices then we need to start somewhere, and we have to put our money where our mouth is. If volume goes up we get better open products. Luckily Pine64 is doing really well so much so that non geeks are buying their products (with all the software support problems that come with them)
I bought a pinebook pro and i have some SBCs. The PBP is perfect travel laptop with long battery life that can run on my phone charger. Firefox runs buttery smooth on Manjaro i3.
Very happy with my pinebook pro and rockpro. The pinebook pro has amazing build quality and usability for the price. When my oneplus dies hopefully there will be a pinephone 2!
It's easy to charge less when you do not develop any software and use software developed by Purism. This is not an entirely fair price in my view. $10 donation to developers per purchase does not cut it. Also, higher specs definitely must be more expensive.
True. I think the issue is that for a platform like this to survive it will need community developers. Idk how much purism software they use or what they lend from pureOS but Pine64 has distros and projects like kde throwing themselves behind the idea with their mobile variants and probably contributing upstream. They also all help advertise. This is great especially when in the early stages it generally isn't purchased to replace a main phone.
Pinephone's pricepoint allows for people to get it on the side to tinker with, develop for it, etc and people that get it at that price don't really care too much bout the occasional bit of lag or glitch.
Additionally something like a better camera on the librem to account for the price doesn't appeal to a lot of people if they have to wait for drivers for it.
I also think pine64 has more people working remotely from all over the place and is registered in hong kong or malaysia since recently whilst purism with lots of remote stuff going on also has staff in san francisco and pays more taxes there? Correct me if i'm wrong tho.
They told my wife to only use Tylenol(acetaminophen, which isn't an NSAID)for pain when she broke her back. Inflammation has important uses, but like auto-immune disorders, too much can cause other problems.
Not really a startup in the sense of a VC backed multi million dollar company but three working friends and me have bootstrapped a fitness websites with science based health advice, mostly free, to basically the largest fitness related website in the Netherlands. Currently employing people, which i think still sounds insane for a hobby project. https://www.fit.nl. 700.000 pageviews a month. App, 2 books, system for training and meal schedules etc. One now works full time as a lead/writer.
As a day job I'm a full time resident of orthopedic surgery. Busy days. I've done most of the programming of the website (custom theme on wordpress), product comparison engine and other custom pages. And server admin for discourse, mattermost etc
Some important findings:
- You have to care otherwise it becomes a chore. In this case it keeps people healthy. We give free advice that i think is pretty good, e.g on the forum, I love that part. The link with the day job is here. Lots of stuff i tell people during clinic hours applies here as well
- As its completely different it still feels like a hobby. Learning to do stuff is fun
- Clear separation of responsibility, do stuff you are efficient in
- A ticketing system for jobs, pick up stuff when you have time. Anybody can add to the ticket list but the list owner decides what comes first.
- Keeping the tickets bite sized. GIT to deploy, deploy often
- A time tracking system (Toggle) tracks time spent.
- Mattermost for private discussions and planning
- Meetups and fun activities to keep the group focused
- Managed main server (websynthesis) in case the website goes down and the other technical guy or me are unavailable. More expensive but less stress this way.
Not really. Picked it up as a child, loved programming and tinkering. Had to choose between computer science and medicine. There are actually lots of things in common, debugging complex systems, building a mental model, abstraction, looking up solutions based on certain hints. Orthopedics is a highly technical field, working with implants, computer surgery, imaging and such so its very useful. Programming trains your problem solving abilities.
I really believe everybody should have the opportunity to learn to code.
(While I understand passion is important and you won't make it far in either without it) Which profession would you suggest just "for the money"? Doctor or Software Engineer? Taking into the account the time and loans it takes to come online as a doctor, and the assuming the person is good enough to become a surgeon or code at FAANG? Great website btw, and so inspiring.
I' m not in the US, so no crazy salaries on both sides. The average doctor probably makes more but the best programmer makes way more than the best doctor. However with long hours, night shifts, pressure etc you have to enjoy what you do or burn out early.
Written in Go, its lightweight (runs on my beaglebone and pi's) and has been absolutely stable for me for years (100 GB, 10+ devices). It hits all the requirement except encrypted nodes.
Syncthing looks like everything I'd want. But, I cannot consider it because I wont be able to access my data from ios/iPhone. Hopefully someone builds that integration in future...
Cool idea. I will try this combination soon. For someone who has not been following the projects, NextCloud vs Owncloud? Which one should I choose now?
2nd year Surgical resident, part of my education to be an orthopedic surgeon. Currently working in a town 100km away.
05:45 wake up, quick breakfast and cycle to the train station
06:20 train. Grab the laptop, prepare for procedures or work on research
07:45 handover or
08:00 start of first procedure. Do timeout, grab a coffee while the anesthesist does his job
12:00 when lucky time for lunch behind the PC, administration
16:30 usually last procedure, handoff when on wards or clinic duty
17:00 see patients of the day, check for question from the new shift of nurses
18:00 train home. Do some coding for a company my friends and me run
19:15-19:30 home
Excerise, work on scientific papers or meet with the team at the office. Work on some points in the job queue. Sleep at 23:00.
Just a few more months and I'll change to a job closer by
