Why do younger coders struggle to break through the FOSS graybeard barrier?

Ideasource

Why code open-source?

Because it's the only way the best of experiences to ever exist. In the legal gray for any one to mirror improve and tweak to their own use.

Also helps to give modern access to those with very little pocket money.

Because nothing off-the-shelf is a good enough until adjusted to specific circumstances.

Re: Contradiction in terminis

Regarding the odd capitalization, speech to text and fat fingers on a touch screen during leisure time internet discussion are just nit Important enough of a pursuit to spend all the time proofreading and adjusting to that fine degree.

I'm fine With Individuals negotiating on one time payment fir one piece of work.

But I'm not comfortable with is one person restricting everyone else once it has escape privacy into the larger world.

Methodologies and concepts of economics are tools.

Legal concept give weight by threat of force are tools.

People helping directly absent the inefficiencies of monetizing should be enshrined rather then curtailed.

Getting paid is only a means to an end. The more ends that can be achieved through more direct means and motivations the more Independent people become.

If we are ever going to redeem all this technology to Make people more self sufficient and no longer have to go to last resort of commerce with all the social drawbacks of Capitalistic commerce Modeled after war-games brings, attacking developments like this is sabotage.

Re: Contradiction in terminis

Capitalism works great to spur innovation in an absence of a concept of IP.

Capitalism plus IP creates the malignancy.

It makes it almost impossible to honorably boycott and roll your own solutions to help your community.

It discourages fellowship and compassion in the general population. It Encourages sustainment of problems to prevent solution. Like treating a wound while keeping it open and restricting the closing of the wound from other efforts to maintain treatment..

Re: Contradiction in terminis

I value people over tools.

Tools are there take the wear and tear to relieve people.

I don't think capitalism is bad, I just don't think it should be elevated to God-like status of importance. It should be allowed to fail when it gets in the way of the greater good.

It gets unfair protection as a methodology that places it as more important then the people who are restricted to allow it to operate.

Like a language shifted version of object worship.

The modern equivalent of "the golden calf"

Tools are supposed to be interchangeable as fits situation.

Stop worshipping the tools. There are much more efficient solutions more appropriate to task that are being sabotaged by Forcing everything to restrictive capitalism.

A more dynamic approach is more useful.

Any process grown out of range becomes malignant.

I just want to trim capitalislm back to A healthy secondary concern to keep it symbiotic Onto those who are forced suffer artificial restriction and loss of option to help Themselves and others directly to prop up capitalism.

Re: Contradiction in terminis

You're putting commerce ahead of larger life outside commerce.

If They wanna play that game That's fine but they shouldn't be allowed to limit those who aren't. Or nothing will ever graduate the commercial gauntlet to be enshrined in the public domain for good all of humanity and aid in reducing dependency on commercial activity.

If commercial activity steals the whole world instead if being used to recycle greed into engines to serve all, Might as well shut down the whole mudddy mess and be just as miserable as a species without all the fuss and restrictions.

Copyright should have never been applied to non commercial activity in the first place.

Re: Yes and no

It is also reasonable to expect that Using a third party platform Will eventually leak your important data.

Reasonably, no one should be a surprised , And everyone should have been anticipating such things working it into their business strategies. Reasonably that should be the risk of those who choose to trust a third party.

It is unreasonable to expect any real degree of control over anything out of your own personal hands.

My point is that What is reasonable was sacrificed as compromise for promoting commercial activity over public networks a long time ago. A little late for For reasonable now. We sent reasonable to the gallows a long time ago. And it was quite profitable.

We now have a system of economic AND industry dependencies on framwork of specific exception to what is reasonable.

We never agreed to only buy HP ink, say printer owners

Since capitalistic competition has succeeded in innovating to the point of nothing new to innovate. We should graduate printing technology to the public domain.

The interfaces of capitalism were only ever justified by how they spur innovation.

And for everything that can be done then logically eventually you're going to reach the limits of practical application.

Time to turn printing into a public utility. And let all that manpower and economic activity go to spurring innovation and somewhere else that is still more primitive and so needing further development.

And so redeem the benefits and gained efficiencies for all of society. It's to run the gauntlet to completion. It's proven itself .

Re: Espionage is still a capital crime.

When gambling for an outcome with external forces and entities, is poor sportsmanship and irresponsible thinking to do not accept the possibility of failure as a natural consequence of choice of effort l.

It would be more honest if they would take responsibility for that loss as natural fallout of trying to control the uncontrollable.

When it comes to winning outcomes in this world, governments are spoiled little babies attitude-wise.

Always blaming others for the failure of their predicted strategies as if they were entitled to their goals rather than honestly regarding themselves high stakes gamblers trying to suspend reality in favor of a dream.

I just wish they would take their losses with dignity rather than lash out.

Apparently the majority of people are dependent upon misdirection to give themselves permission to do what they're going to do anyway.

Firstly I don't have a problem with p***. And I don't value individual human bodies as much as I value individual consciousnesses and I don't believe consciousness even develops until a person is 7 or 8 years old. Until then they are wired for mimicry.

Not to say that I can't form an emotional attachment with a child . I have nieces and nephews but I helped to raise during their formative years but I do consciously recognize they they had not yet diverged to become a person yet. And my attachment was mostly to my own personal vision of the future for them.

Now they have diverged enough to shatter that vision and so replace it with their emerging divergence from external expectation to self-authored New direction aka the person.

Re: Affordable Connectivity: A Vital Lifeline for Millions

Anything essential to basic life ought to be government provided. After all people ought to get something back in return for all the work and time distraction it takes to believe in government the concept of country follow the laws self-restriction. Remembering all that nonsense is quite the chore.

Restricting one's own potential to meet society's convenience is wearing.

Being a "good" citizen is a full-time job with no off time it deserves fair compensation in return in the form of basic securities.

For everything else capitalism works fine because if nobody actually needs it then people can actually afford to collectively cut off businesses that displeased them and so choke them out of existence.

Boycotts have little chance of doing their job of forcing compromise from commercial operations if people can't afford to to effectively isolate and starve businesses that displease their communities.

With government provided basic necessities, boycotting is no longer any danger unto the individuals owning these businesses as it will not put them or their employees starving into the streets.

After necessity it's all just points on a leaderboard and the safety concerns are absolved.

Re: Proprietary

It's okay for a a developing entity to mimic the expressions of others.

In fact it's absolutely necessary normal and healthy.

Brain boffins think they've found the data format we use to store images as memories

Ideasource

Re: Brain Images

Well the initial viewing of anything is an on-the-fly interpretive construction made of previous associations, outside stimuli and a composite biased towards previous recognitions.

And it turns out that remembering things is not a reversal but is the same process of creativity by the brain every experience of memory is CSI like reimagining blurred by experiences occurring after the initial real world action or scene that the brain is attempting to remember

The initial vision itself is a useful imagination loosy based on external stimuli.

But eyes do not see like cameras do.

Eyes send all sorts of crazy data that must be curated and selectively interpreted always with some degree of inaccuracy or loss of information, as well as creative assumptions by the brain to render an acceptable experience to the conscious mind and so render the experience of seeing it.
