Out in the alternate universe where folks are actually building things (instead of the corner office of the guy using business double speak) "success" also means "attracts competent developers and retains them."

Many folks at the time did not want to contribute code that would just get stolen by proprietary parasites and *literally* sold back to them.

Or to projects where improvements never made it back to the mainline.

Those folks, in my experience, were the ones who actually both knew what they were doing and had a strong belief that they were contributing something to the larger community - and not something easily looted by the guy using business speak who just wanted more revenue.

Those folks, whether or not you agree with me, preferred contributing their time to GPL'd projects over BSD projects.

Were you a developer at the time? If not. STFU. Stay in your lane.

It's worth noting that busybox replicates many of them, and it has its own oddities.

Literally every one of the coreutils tools have some odd edge cases - some that make sense, some that do not. But at some point that behavior is something that callers expect, and when a replacement does not behave that way... You know the rest. "#define bad" etc.

As an anti-racist with a geography degree, this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Walk into any classroom on earth and chances are good they won't have the mercator projection on the wall, they'll have something better representative of area, often a Robinson projection.

Ok, I'm tempted. Not enough to preorder, but if the reviews are good enough I might go for this.

This reminds me of a case where a British court and an American court each ordered litigants not to litigate a case in the other's court.This was in law school decades ago and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's the same kind of issue where if you want to do business in either country you can get easily screwed.

Fun fact, Ackman is a hardline Trump supporter who helped get him elected.

" suffering a brain hemorrhage that would render her unable to move, speak or see,"

And they went with sight in the headline? Being unable to move is waaaaay worse.

Anyway, I feel bad for her and him (though he's a right-wing nutjob who has used his wealth to help drag down American society).

Been running sid nodes since 1996

YMMV.

The US produces more manufacturing output than every other country on earth other than China.

Yeah, the products were better under Cook.

When you use that many italics to emphasize words it's a good sign you need psychiatric help.

It's appropriate for a Chess.com story given their app now has ads by sketchy, low-class companies

The male/female ratio in China isn't that skewed, it's something like 106:100. A lot of it is probably the same thing you see in every other country, where both men and women lose social skills and have unrealistic standards of what kind of partner they are entitled to.
