hansl,

Looked up into it. It’s not just fans and it’s not just YouTube. They ran fundraising golf tournaments that they ended straight up not even reporting on their taxes (we’re talking well above 100k$ missing). It’s very shady.

hansl,

They literally had “fundraising for the Open Hand Foundation” on their banners every year.

Whether or not these were literal frauds, it’s very shady and should destroy his reputation. I’ll let the lawyers figure out the rest.

hansl,

This is the shadiest of excuses. “AWS changed something and now we cannot serve files and offer the game”. WTF is that. Anyone with a programming 101 can see this is bullshit.

hansl,

Correct. This is not a multi player. Either they’re talking about some devops or internal tooling, or they are just weaseling out of the real excuse, or it was a scam from the start and the day never intended to finish the game (which many people believe at this point).

Whichever is true, stay clear of that studio and those people forever.

hansl,

And then the Hebrew letters were peering through the window, Javert style.

hansl,

It was a rainy Saturday and the local farmers were in and about when he told me about those darned letters.

hansl,

Did she try to break them off? Yokoing the band?

hansl,

Java, of course. /s

hansl,

Jobs, whether or not he truly believed in that, gave the potential of web apps and HTML5 as the reason an App Store wasn’t needed. And definitely the reason Flash wasn’t needed.

hansl,

Real talk; if Java didn’t have their head up their own arses, it would have been the real solution. But Oracle does what Oracle does.

Do not anthropomorphize Larry Ellison.

hansl,

The PS1 was just a 3D Super Nintendo with CD. It’s turtles all the way down.

hansl,

The FHS was started in 1994 and is free to use. It should be used now by all major Linux systems and most Unix too.

The only credit is to the Linux Foundation.

hansl,

Tell them. Many people don’t know about FHS. Seriously, just the person I was answering to was giving credit to some rando who copy pasted an image from the Linux foundation.

I’ve been educating people on this all my professional life. I try to make a change with the people around me, but I’ve also filed big to some FOSS projects that got it wrong. Some did the change, some were unwilling. But it’s unknown if even those did follow the right convention in their next project.

hansl,

Wait until you learn about MMOs and medieval fantasy…

hansl,

Kind of what .env files are meant for. Not enough tools use them.

hansl,

If you have a dollar, and lend it to me, and I lend it to my friend Alice, we have 1 dollar, but the total debt is 2$.

Nobody is claiming there are trillions of wealth around. But there are trillions worth of debts. Because countries, companies and people lend to each others a lot.

How’s that absurd?

hansl,

The Option type would have been a better example, and make it slightly less complicated.

Option is an enum with two variants; None and Some(T). You can chain Options with operations, describing a Monad chain, which is kind of what this meme represent.

hansl,

Anyone remember the Anarchist Cookbook?

hansl,

At that speed most frames would be the same. Unless you’re shooting RAW there is some good compression you can do here.

hansl,

Audiophile can still tell the difference in a double blind test.

hansl,

I’m still on my replay of FF6… a 25-30 hours RPG that is taking me months to finish :(

hansl,

I like paying creators their due and don’t like seeing ads. Fuck me, right?

hansl,

Serious question; what do you use for OAuth?

hansl,

No I mean all those web services that only allow you to use OAuth to sign in and don’t give you the option of creating a username/password combo.

hansl,

Battlestar Galactica’s miniseries (episode 1) is just so mind fucking blowing crazy good that just by itself it excuses the lower ratings episodes later on. And there are some, it’s not all 8+. But when it hits, oh boy does it hit.

I’m not sure how it would be on a rewatch, since I watched it from season 1 as it was coming on air, and half the fun was basically spending hours on forums discussing theories about the show between episodes.

Why is there no BSD 3-Clause + Patent license option?

Recently, I was looking into licensing an open-source project I’m creating. My preferred license is the BSD-3, but was given advice that I should seek a license that offers patent protection as well. I saw there is a BSD 2-Clause + Patent option, but not one for the BSD 3-Clause, not that I found through OSI or SPDX. This...

hansl,

No. Don’t do that. WTFPL is not a license. It’s a legal pandora box.

hansl,

And that can create unexpected situations, like corporations stealing your patents or patenting all usages of your work, and prior art might be damned, and in some cases even sue you for you own work. There are examples of this for people who didn’t patent or license their work, this is not some weird hypothetical. WTFPL is not a license, it is not clear that it protects you or not.

In the real world, WTFPL has no reasons to exist. If you want to protect your work but want to make it available, there are good permissive open source licenses. Slap an Apache, or CC0 or GPL license.

hansl,

Reticulating splines.

hansl,

Believe it or not, also goat.

hansl,

If Flash taught me anything, is that being slow doesn’t make you late, but being fast makes you lazier, and laziness makes you very late.

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

hansl,

I don’t know how much of a gun it was. Apple has definitely been working on RCS support for a year; you don’t add that in a few months. Similarly I’m pretty sure Apple has been considering USB C in iPhone since at least when they started working on the USB C on iPad, which is what 5 years old?

Of course without pressure they would have probably be slower to move forward, and with Apple secrecy it’s always hard to tell how long things have been ready to ship. But let’s not pretend they just woke up this morning with a horse head in their bed and told their direction team to start working on this.

hansl,

Companies, yes. Employees, no.

And they’re two scientists so it’s really double single blinded win!

“Then try something randomly and see if you like it. “

hansl,

Not better than jpegXL which has clearer free licensing.

hansl,

The fortune teller needs to run two sets of telling; one where she gives him back his money and one where she keeps it and lie to him. And maybe a control group for good measure.

hansl,

They were very typical “J.J. Abram’s has no idea what a franchise is actually about”. He actually admitted not having seen any extra materials about the franchise before making the movies, and rehashed existing storylines because it’s safe.

JJ Abrams is loved by the studios for the very same reasons he’s dreaded by the fans.

hansl,

Star Wars is samurai movies with a skin on it. The whole thing is borrowed, in space. So it’s okay to have stories like Andor, Rogue One and Mando, etc because they mesh well with the general design of the universe.

Lower Decks is as far as Star Trek as it can be, and yet it fits very well in the universe. Because it respects itself and respect the source material.

JJ never respected the source material and the universe.

hansl,

I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.

hansl,

Memes are a good example of a snapshot in time that doesn’t make sense 10, 20 years after.

People will look at a dancing baby and wonder why we thought it was worth sharing.

hansl,

They could sync those between devices on the same network. It’s definitely possible to have both.

Bingo: Trump Admits Intent to “Induce Lending” With Financial Statements (newrepublic.com)

Donald Trump got caught red-handed during his $250 million New York bank fraud trial on Monday when lawyers for the New York attorney general’s office revealed Trump had long ago signed financial documents with the clear intent that they would be used to curry favor with banks....

hansl,

I’m just imagining the judge being like “Bingo!” and getting a bingo card out of a drawer looking at it confused, Frank Drebin style.

hansl,

Cinematic standards.

hansl,

I thought they’d just need an phase inverter since they produce AC.
