    Thanks for recommending Paul Ramsey! This was a great read. Apparently he is working a lot with Canadian instances of government to help them understand the benefits of Free Software.

    > Venture capitalists are (understandably) interested in having their investments create “intellectual property”, that can be patented and monopolized for outsized profits. By following the VC model of focussing on IP formation, governments are missing out on another investment avenue: the formation of “intellectual capital” in their jurisdictions.

    > The BC government spends $9M/year on Oracle “maintenance”, basically the right to access bug fixes and updates from Oracle for the software we’re running. It’s not a lot of money, but it’s money being shipped straight over the border. Affilias, the “.org” top level DNS provider built their infrastructure on PostgreSQL – they spend a couple hundred thousand a year having some PostgreSQL core developers on staff. Same effect, different path.

      Update: Barcelona is going all-open. Sounds extreme, but some times you’ve got to… “You’ve got to spend money to make money”, I once confidently told a business associate, on the occasion of paying him a thousand dollars to manually clean some terrible data for me. In the event, I was right: that cleaned data paid for itself 10 times over in the following years. I’m still the only person with...

    @shellkr Increasing swap helped, so it wasn't a defined limit anywhere, it simply created too many data structures in memory when keeping track of all the haskell dependencies, and RAM+swap ran out.

    @newt GHC was not directly involved, it was pre-compiled and Nix was just pulling down the binary.

    Yep, 4 GB RAM and 2 GB swap not enough to install pandoc in Nix. It failed at or after "copying path '/nix/store/3cv3s9lv79qjkqyafbclbk03gz5z813w-ghc-8.2.2' from 'https://cache.nixos.org'..."

    Upped it to 8 GB swap and then it worked. It peaked around 1.6 GB swap as far as I could catch in `top`.

    It's funny that I'm asking this question in 2018.

    Apparently the gvfs-fuse directory moved from ~/.gvfs to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs ... in Ubuntu 12.10.

    I guess I don't use it very often.

    An ASUS VivoBook X542U survives a fall from one meter's height to a wooden floor with only a scratched corner. Hypothetically.

    I only had to hypothetically snap the screen panels back together, and everything still works. Would work! Hypothetically.

    @ralph @z428 I think though, that more companies should probably grow by forking rather than swelling. Monty and Branson both think so too and have made this view part of their business code, and then the size at which to fork depends on which line of business and what staffing overhead etc is necessary to stay productive.

    @ralph @z428 On the other hand, if you have managed to create a company that builds ethical software, improves the world and is a good place for people to work, shouldn't you want more people to work there?

    @ralph @alcinnz you could make it a co-operative. Then it's a legal entity which can do commercial stuff without being controlled by shareholders

    And I think Igalia is doing just this: https://www.igalia.com/nc/about-us/

    Business idea. Create a "company" that:

    * does #freesoftware only, both consulting on existing software and developing new products
    * primarily focuses on local governments, non-profits and the like
    * has no office
    * has no hierarchy and no bosses
    * has no managers
    * employs free software developers from the whole world
    * maximize developer happiness
    * minimize meetings and bureaucracy

    The reason I quoted company is that it doesn't even have to be a legal entity. Call it community if you like.
