Fortunately other people aren't following that attitude, including the Gnome people. They want to continue supporting other options, and cross-platform compatibility.
"Google, which has been under rising pressure along with other tech companies to release diversity data"
"Put simply, Google is not where we want to be when it comes to diversity,"
Now, by in-sourcing their "low-pay employees," they are instantly closer to where they want to be.
When you have to work with this stuff, in the end you realize that it is mostly about what was best for the team at the time they started the project (availabe skillset, docs, etc) and at this point both frameworks are the best the open source world has to offer.
Which means that the most useful data points are the projects which went through the effort of migrating between libraries. e.g. Subsurface which moved from GTK+ to Qt, and written by Linus Torvalds (among others). The reasons for doing so are given here. This is particularly interesting given that both Linus and Dirk prefer C
In my experience, the Qt libraries and tools are just as easy to use as
There's another step in here: is the code copyrighted? Without that part the rest does not matter. That's why GPL has a copyright even though Stallman seems to be personally opposed to the concept with software.
Because that's what a lot of customers want and it's easy to market a Linux product to IT departments. I also think there may be some synergy between a VM running Linux and the underlying vmklinux host.
Don't factor your son's draft registration into your decision-making. There is absolutely no will in Washington to reinstate the draft, and to do so after so many decades without it would be political suicide. And even if that changes somehow before he ages out of eligibility, a dual-citizen raised and living abroad wouldn't have much trouble getting a deferment (which goes double if we're at war with Belgium or Sweden).
But they won't let you keep old citizenship if you decide to become a citizen of the USA.
I've seen it happen a lot.
All interfaces 'literally use the code' If calling an interface makes my code a derived work that is very, very bad in a larger sense.
Do you understand that the case of the linux kernel is different than the oracle vs google case? Google literally rewrote all the code from scratch, merely maintaining the APIs. In the case of the Linux kernel, drivers use the actual code written by Linus et al, it's not just using the APIs.
Let's face it, people: Hacking is boring to watch. At the same time, do you think they weren't going to do a cyber-inspired CSI show in the Internet era?
My wife's (an attorney) gave me another example of something that would be as interesting as a technically accurate "CSI: Cyber":
"Law and Order: Bankruptcy Court"
And that's about right.
Old thread. Linus apparently thought header files/interfaces could be copyrighted. He's been shown to be wrong in the USA.
A) If you're talking about Oracle VS Google, The appeals court overruled that
B) It's not just 'using the header files', it's literally using the kernel code, so even if interfaces couldn't be copyrighted, that wouldn't apply here.
So you prefer ones that shit on the Windows community?
Yes.
The userspacr process does not execute any kernel code, just request that the kernel do something.
Any function call can be characterized in the same way.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
