> It is the goal of every business to maximise profits. As a business, it is your responsibility to price your products in a way that will yield the most profit.

This is how the article starts, and it might be somewhat off-topic, but I disagree. Plenty of businesses (at least privately held ones) have the goal of simply making enough for the owners to get by. Not to optimize for the absolute maximum. And why should they be responsible to do so?

> People often assume that a zero-major version indicates that the software is not ready for production

I wonder why. Conventions that are being broken, maybe.

I don't know if this is the origin, but the semver spec says 0.x.y is unstable. Sure, not everybody uses semver, but it is popular enough for people to make incorrect assumptions.

IMO it’s really hard to argue with the quality valve software is putting out. I can’t really name a game that isn’t considered a must play that they’ve made

Artifact flopped really hard.

This is off-topic, but I use the Firefox extension Foxy Gestures. When I draw a gesture on the featured website, a pop-up shows the gesture I'm drawing.

I have never seen that before. Is that some JS/CSS trickery? Or a bug in the extension?

> Python was the slowest language in the benchmark, and yet at the same time it’s the most used language on Github as of October 2024.

Interesting that there seems to be a correlation between a language being slow and it being popular.

remedan · a year ago

Does that correlation hold if you look at let's say the top 20 popular languages?

This sort of makes me sick as a software engineer with licensed code on GitHub. Am I understanding correctly that they have trained data on my code despite my license? Do I receive monetary payment from the deal? Or have I misunderstood this?

remedan · a year ago

I'm pretty sure that to upload your code to GitHub, you have to agree to their terms of service, which potentially give them all sorts of rights to your code. This creates a special relationship between you and GitHub that is separate from the license you assign to your project.

Was red the eventual winner after what/pth? I never found out what happened post what.

I think so, yeah. Although orpheus is also all right.

> "Look, no one pirates music anymore"

I must be the last person that does then. All my music is ripped from youtube

remedan · a year ago

Do yourself the favor of joining Red and download your music in flac or mp3 made from high-quality sources instead of YouTube. The interview is not hard to pass if you prepare for it.

Genuine question: why don’t you started from VSCodium if the the VSCode is too much hassle to deal with?

remedan · a year ago

Isn't VSCodium built from the same source code as VSCode? Excluding a few proprietary things Microsoft puts into the official binaries.
