Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn’t mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.

If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn’t so I don’t have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.

Why does VC need to ruin everything…

How is it fake news? They are moving functionality into a proprietary SDK and have a whole framework ready to get around the GPL.

Stable bindings doesn’t mean open source, so I don’t see how that tells you it’s still on the table

It doesn’t make sense for an internal library for an open source application, it that case it’s not open source.

To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it’s open source for but keep their business logic closed source.

It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.

Clearly not: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611#issuecomment-2424865225

And different opportunities, going MIA on a construction site is suspicious, but during war? Who can tell whether they defected or died?

What will you do in 2100?

So instead of spending 1 day writing good code, we’ll be spending a week debugging shitty code. Great.

Small nitpick: When we talk about calories in food we actually mean kcal

There are other options as well, approval voting has several advantages over ranked choice voting. It is simpler and it there is no spoiler effect (voting for your favorite candidate will never hurt your second choice)

Security software are also “apps”. Since Microsoft is also in the security software business locking down access for their competitors could definitely be seen as anti-competitive practices.

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly with MacOS so other rules apply.

Honestly, I’ve used some pretty decent AI chatbots. They can help you with basic questions and contact you with a human for things that require it or if you ask for it. Chatbots that don’t let you talk to a human on the other hand, those are awful.

How are they planning on sending over any significant manpower and supplies across 2800km?

Rail? They border Russia and there’s a railroad over the border

Why?

If you read the article you would have seen Linux is supported

Yes, just solar. Hydro is bigger now, but it doesn’t have the growing potential. Wind is currently also growing exponential, but I don’t see it doing that for 20 more years. And even if it does, it doesn’t really make a big difference since exponential + exponential is still exponential. If it grows as fast as solar that would mean we’re just a few years ahead of the curve.

Here you go, you’ll need numpy, scipy and matplotlib:

from scipy.optimize import curve_fit
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# 2010-2013 data from https://ourworldindata.org/renewable-energy [TWh]
y = np.array([32, 63, 97, 132, 198, 256, 328, 445, 575, 659, 853, 1055, 1323, 1629])
x = np.arange(0, len(y))

# function we expect the data to fit
fit_func = lambda x, a, b, c: a * np.exp2(b * x ) + c
popt, _ = curve_fit(fit_func, x, y, maxfev=5000)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter(x + 2010, y, label="Data", color="b", linestyle=":")
ax.plot(x + 2010, fit_func(x, *popt), color="r", linewidth=3.0, linestyle="-", label='best fit curve: $y={0:.3f} * 2^{{{1:.3f}x}} + {2:.3f}$'.format(*popt))
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Here’s what I get, global solar energy generated doubles every ~3.5 (1/0.284) years.

That was just an excuse, they just couldn’t get the parts. Radar is back now.
