They also don't produce usable amounts of light.

That doesn't make it "trash".

How much did the transition to cashless impacted inflation ?

Is used to be common for store owner to put the cash directly in their pocket. Which is not possible with electronic payement. Meaning that you add 20% VAT to the price, an when transforming the money in a salary need to pay for unemployement/health/retirement insurance to finally get a taxable income....

It's also been shown that people are more likely to impulse purchase when not using cash, and moreso with contactless via a phone or watch.

Trying to tie a decline in cash purchases with tax evasion is impossible.

Same, we got married while she was pregnant and we were emigrating.

That was 2010.

The American one. It's not a country.

Gradle, with it's transitive dependency modifications is a huge pain in this area.

It used to be that if a library ended up having a flaw then it would be flagged and we would get the dependency updated. These days security block the "security risk" and you have to replace your dependencies dependency. Fingers crossed you can get it to actually test all the code paths.

If an second level project gets a flaw, and it's used indirectly then we should really look at getting the import updated so that we know it works. If that import is abandoned then we should not be updating that second level dependency, either adopt and fix the first level dependency or look at an alternative.

I can understand event announcements, my job applications are for foo widget builders, so let me know if Foo Widget Con is happening with hiring companies or Foo Widget User Group so we can all get together and share in our pain.

Outside of that, most posts are meaningless.

Hopefully this is satire.

If I create an open source project I can run it however I want.
I do not have to create a board to manage it, there are plenty that have a single developer doing all the work, like VLC, and like Sqlite they may or may not even accept PRs. It doesn't stop it being open source.

If I do create a foundation, I can fill it with whoever I see fit. If there is a board, then generally they have the last say but there are plenty of projects, like Python used to be, where there might be a board but the founder remains the benevolent dictator for life and will stop them doing stupid things that distracts from the core project. Look at Linux, the project is mostly self maintained but Linus will gatekeep anything that doesn't meet his definition of success.

If my rules for my project is that all board members have to be a furry, then that's my right, and maybe the board of furries will vote to overturn that. Or maybe they won't. But you can't tell me how to run my project, this isn't a democracy.

Of course I'm not entitled to community contributions. Just as a user, you are not entitled to me fixing your big reports.

That doesn't stop it being an open source project, and a lot of developers don't want to deal with a needy community for their own mental health. It was an itch that they scratched.

Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established ( apnews.com )

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

All you said was complete stupidity. 19 years of rule under Hamas only produced terrorist tunnels?

All of that is a direct response to 30+ years of Israeli genocide.

frazorth ,

the only thing they built for the Palestinian people has been tunnels to commit terrorism from.

I wasn't the one who said that tunnels were the only thing they have done, that was literally you. But it's also irrelevant because I wouldn't expect any infrastructure works to be prioritised when a small country is under attack.

When the IRA demanded their land back, we were allowed to agree with their cause of no occupation without saying that their tactics of bombing trains was a good thing.

When the LTTE violently attacked Sri Lanka, people were allowed to feel for the ongoing Tamil persecution, without agreeing to the murdering.

Why can't I say that Hamas is a product of its environment, caused by the pain that Israel creates while also saying that the actions of Hamas are terrible.

It's okay to be wrong.

frazorth ,

Not stupid in the slightest.

It makes sense to me, but it's also what I'm used to.
