@Elizafox oh yes there are definitely SQL statements that make my head spin, too. It can be hard to grasp the logic of how it's working sometimes. I just chalk that up to me not being a DBA.
That said, SQL databases are literally the most optimized code bases humans have every written. A marvel of engineering. NoSQL adoption was largely pushed by a generation of programmers that only used high level programming languages (in my non scientific observation). -

Lower unemployment doesn't mean anything if people don't receive a living wage. It's just capitalists giving you all a big middle finger. -

Really cool thing I learned yesterday: there's a Raspberry Pi image by the folks at FlightAware called PiAware. You can use it with a RTL-SDR to track flights above your location. Includes a nice interface, and reports data back to FlightAware so they get even more datapoints for their service.

I tend to be pessimistic about these things, but dystopian fiction will do that to you. Here's my prediction:
- Microsoft will have direct access to accounts instead of needing to scrape
- Microsoft will create shadow accounts on LinkedIn for people it cannot directly identify, else there will be shadow profiles of yourself you cannot see
- Microsoft will be able to keep statistics on how many LoC you write in each language and even number of defects/warnings per XX lines of code fresh (every git push !)
- Recruiters will pay big for this data to find you and spam the shit out of you
- This data will directly affect your salary range for job offers (fucking bullshit)
- Microsoft and LinkedIn will become the largest tech recruiting firm in the world
I hope I'm wrong -

"Last year we [GitLab] were approached by developers of Debian to consider dropping our Contributor License Agreement (CLA) in favor of the Developer’s Certificate of Origin (DCO). In November we announced that we’d be switching to a DCO, and we’re happy that this change has been welcomed by the GNOME community too"
Yes CLAs are bullshit -

Sounds to me like third party Twitter clients should re-tool for the Fediverse and re-launch their apps after writing an open letter telling the world that Twitter is dead -

@LottieVixen @phessler surprise, it's an email client attack via HTML.
If you use HTML email you were asking for it. Always disable it in every client, full stop. -

My coworker is Hungarian and has informed me that his friends back in Hungary have asked him to stop sending GPG encrypted emails unless it's very important.
Why?
Because the government is monitoring it. And if they see you receiving GPG mails, they will make your life hell. -

@Vamp898 @dtluna this is FUD spread by people who write trivial code that nobody would bother stealing.
There's an urban legend that BSD consumers take all the source code and get filthy rich and never give any changes back. But that's just a fallacy. We get code back all the time.
Because our code is not trivial. It's complicated. And we make lots of changes. And if they don't give us their changes, they have to re-base their changes on our new code. Every single release. Again and again. It's very expensive to make your developers re-do their work over and over and over again.
So instead, companies give us their changes back unless they're too trivial to matter or specific to an application that cannot be used by a broader audience.
Maybe it's unique hardware support for something nobody else would have. Maybe it's a nasty hack that breaks things for everyone else. This is what Netflix did, by the way. Their changes to the kernel to support 100gbit streaming of movies + TLS in the kernel were offered back to us.
Here's how it played out with Netflix:
1) we don't want TLS in the kernel, no thanks, go away
2) your network stack hacks are useless to 99.999% of the world and only break other things. Even if you fixed those things we still don't want it. We'd have to hide it behind a kernel module called "netflix.ko" and we don't want that in our tree. If anyone else wants this they can hire their own TCP/IP expert to make the same changes.
Note, the people involved in this scenario are... *drumroll* FreeBSD developers!
That's right, these evil companies hire us to do this work!

@Vamp898 @karen @dtluna @Mogsie but GPL code is not free. That's why we end up having to rewrite it.
If you have to invoke legal council, it's not free. Unless you live in a world where lawyers don't require money for services?
BSD/ISC/MIT code is truly free. You can do anything you want with it. That's the point. -

Bill Maher is right: liberals have gone too far with their political correctness bullshit. Please stop. It's only empowering the right wing parties all over the world. We can have equality, equity, and free speech at the same time. The concepts are not exclusive.
