True | [deleted] | null | > " means zero or more anything" is simpler than " means zero or more anything except for dot if it's first character". If I didn't know that, I wouldn't be discussing how it's a bad idea.
Yeah, you know what's simpler than that? Just interpreting an asterisk literally. Should we just do away with shell globbing entirely? You can take away features for simplicity until you are left drawing in the dirt with sticks. The entire premise of your argument is flawed because you have chosen some arbitrary definition of simple that happens to work for you.
> If there are no dotfiles, exit status of commands like cp is 1 because .* is not found
You mean just like cp * fails if there are no non-dotfiles in your directory? Your use case for cp * assumes that the user knows there are files in the directory. That's a fine, safe assumption. You can assume the same for .* and dotfiles (or else don't use it).
> If you are trying to copy recursively or operate on directories as well as files, .* matches . and ..
My argument for using cp -r was to mean that you should just copy the entire directory instead of globbing * and .*. But if you really insist on doing that, $(ls -A). I can only ever think of one time I wanted to copy out of a directory in the way you presented.
To address your whole previous "biting" argument, pick any critical system file on a Unix box and try to delete it. Now do the same on Windows.

75 * .25 * .007 * (20 / 480) = .00546875 trillion dollars.

From the generalist tone you describe it in, capitalizing on any patent would make you a patent troll. I mean, it's fine if you don't believe in the patent system, but acting outraged because IBM and Apple are proactively defending the very things they sought patent protection for seems to indicate more a bias against the system than how it's abused, which is fundamentally the issue here. | null | 0 | 1316572420 | False | 0 | c2lekse | t3_klqte | null | t1_c2lekse | t1_c2ldseg | null | 1427626659 | 10 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | Everyone seems to be hopping on the GPGPU wrapper bandwagon (Microsoft has language extensions called AMP in the new Visual Studio) but I have to wonder if it's largely a waste of time.

Anyone who can understand how a GPU works well enough to write optimized code is probably going to prefer working at a lower level. at leastnthat is how it has shaken out in the graphics world.
I suppose these kinds of layers will be okay for effortlessly optimizing embarrassingly parallel algos. But that's only the tip of the GPGPU iceberg. | null | 0 | 1316573226 | False | 0 | c2leohp | t3_kltgu | null | t1_c2leohp | t3_kltgu | null | 1427626704 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | honcas | null | Since most of the RMS-hate comes from his reactions to consumer technology, this:
>Linux is fairly dominant on the server market

With the rest--phones, TVs, tablets, etc. the Linux Kernel is used to be sure, but proprietary user interfaces are often developed. If you're going to use Android as an example of openness that RMS would support, [you might want to think again.](http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/sep/19/android-free-software-stallman)
It's disingenuous to bring these types of devices into a conversation about the openness of Linux. These devices exploit TiVoization to build closed-source platforms on top of an open foundation.
> majority of the time hardware is detected by Linux out of the box and works just fine
Citation needed. You're probably correct if you include the various BUSes and interfaces that the end-user never messes with. Lots of graphics cards won't work out of the box, and some won't work at all.
I went from using DOS/Windows full time to using Linux full time. The latter I've used on my desktops and laptops with varying distributions, window managers, and desktop environments for 10 years. My experience of "works just fine [out of the box]" is wildly different from what you're saying. It's more "hit" if you buy older gear. It's much, much more miss if you buy newer gear. For example, buying any laptop with a modern Nvidia card is a miss these days due to XWindows not supporting all of the features needed to get Optimus working. Though you can get it working on some platforms with a hack involving running a separate X server and forwarding the display to your primary X server, it doesn't work with every implementation. Sheet-fed scanners are more miss than hit, with a great many of them not being supported by xsane. And the last two laptops I've run Linux on (a Latitude E6500 and an Alienware m11x) had various hardware broken by default (not even including the Optimus on the m11x), and the m11x deadlocks frequently.
> while with Windows you often have to hunt for drivers yourself.
Repos are one of the best things about Linux. But the "hunting for drivers" myth that people like to promote is a bit disingenuous, since most people will never have to do this. They'll buy a computer where everything works, and if they buy new hardware, it will come with the drivers on a CD.

Keep in my that the complaints I made in the grandparent post were in the context of asking how you were determining that Linux was "doing well," which was in reference to the supposition that open source extremism can work. So with that in mind, I would pose the following questions:
1) What percentage of hardware has to fail out of the box for open source to be a bad consumer experience?
2) If marketshare is the reason that manufacturers don't test their devices extensively with Linux, and the marketshare for Windows was gained through lock-in (which effectively requires close-source), doesn't that support the point that extreme open-source mentality isn't feasible? | null | 0 | 1316574723 | False | 0 | c2lev47 | t3_kl7h0 | null | t1_c2lev47 | t1_c2ledo7 | null | 1427626791 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | yogthos | null | Seems like you're shifting your argument here. You claimed that Linux is not doing well, I showed that indeed it does.
Your argument about the desktop does not hold water, because the problem has nothing to do with open source. If anything it's rather amazing how **well** Linux works on the desktop despite having very little support from hardware vendors in that area.
>I went from using DOS/Windows full time to using Linux full time. The latter I've used on my desktops and laptops with varying distributions, window managers, and desktop environments for 10 years. My experience of "works just fine [out of the box]" is wildly different from what you're saying.
I've been using Linux in various forms for about as long as well, and while about 5 years ago I would have agreed with you, nowadays you really have to look for hardware that doesn't actually work. I recently installed Ubuntu on an HP notebook, and was pleasantly surprised that WIFI worked out of the box, OpenGL worked, and even the built in web cam got picked up.
Sure, once in a while you'll run into a piece of hardware that doesn't have good support, but you can hardly blame Linux, or it being open source for that. The fact is that Windows is a dominant desktop and vendors just care about it more. Most drivers in Linux are done by the community effort and that clearly shows that the model does work.
>Repos are one of the best things about Linux. But the "hunting for drivers" myth that people like to promote is a bit disingenuous, since most people will never have to do this. They'll buy a computer where everything works, and if they buy new hardware, it will come with the drivers on a CD.
Yes, and then when you lose the said CD and you're inevitably reinstalling windows, then you go jumping through hoops. There are whole websites dedicated to making this process palatable. It's completely disingenuous to claim that Windows is great at picking up hardware out of the box.
>Pan (usenet reader), Evolution, Gimp, LibreOffice, and Audacity, for the applications I use most. Banshee for something I don't use, but which comes default on Ubuntu.
I've used most of these applications, I certainly wouldn't say that these are difficult to use or don't work well. For example, while Gimp in fact used to have a ton of issues, all of those have been addressed years ago, ever since 2.x Gimp has been rather polished.
>Keep in my that the complaints I made in the grandparent post were in the context of asking how you were determining that Linux was "doing well," which was in reference to the supposition that open source extremism can work.
I certainly don't share your sentiment that Linux offers inferior desktop experience to Windows. In fact I find a lot of warts in Windows which just don't exist in Linux. Things like being able to kill programs when they hang, a decent terminal, or having multiple desktops, are still not nearly as polished.
>1) What percentage of hardware has to fail out of the box for open source to be a bad consumer experience?
What does this have to do with open source? The issue here is market dominance. OS X is closed source and I'm not seeing it doing a significantly better job than Linux breaking onto the desktop.
>2) If marketshare is the reason that manufacturers don't test their devices extensively with Linux, and the marketshare for Windows was gained through lock-in (which effectively requires close-source), doesn't that support the point that extreme open-source mentality isn't feasible?
Not at all, it just shows why closed-source is bad for customers and developers, and this is **exactly** the point that RMS highlights.

True | netsettler | null | I doubt this number is accurate. It's probably low. It would be very hard to quantify the quiet loss due to people simply not entering businesses like these, or more commonly not pursuing good ideas, because they know that they would be menaced by various patent trolls. This is effectively an opportunity cost of sorts. This means that many would-be enterpreneurs become work-a-day programmers because they're enough risk averse that they'd rather leave it to someone else to manage that minefield. The cost of this "chilling effect" is surely real but likely hard to quantify.
(Note that I'm a big believer in intellectual property, but I think patents are the wrong vehicle for software; copyright is entirely adequate.

True | fabiensanglard | null | Hey dahud,
I ran into this issue a month ago and you are right it is a DLL loading error and it is very easy to fix. You see quake2 kernel loads some dlls using win32 API: LoadLibrary.
If the DLL is not exactly what it was expecting or if the DLL dependencies cannot be resolved it will fail silently instead of displaying the error message. So:
* Make sure you are linking all 5 projects with the same runtime library by right clicking on each project -> properties -> C/C++: Check that "runtime library" = Multi-threaded Debug DLL (with configuration "Debug", otherwise use release).
If you are using the quake2 release from id software it should fix the issue.
* Now if you are using my version: I added the engine capability to output PNG screenshots, so you also need to build libpng and libz (it is in a subdirectory). Make sure your select the Debug DLL configuration. Once built don't forget to place the libpng and zlib dlls in the same folder as quake2.exe.

The proper Java override equivalent would be...

return dummyCampaigns;

I mainly use mocking when the main thing I'm testing is that object A takes input X and calls service B with input Y, or when I'm dealing with legacy code that's so badly designed that you have to override 3 - 4 methods to avoid null-pointer exceptions. Because that looks like arse.
Anyway, it's mainly down to stylistic choice, my main point was that in Java at least, because I can't speak for Ruby, mocking out dependencies at test time is generally easy, and I'm not sure how or why the above quoted Rubyist found it so ugly and/or brittle. If anything, Ruby should be even easier to do this in, seeing as how they can arbitrarily monkey-patch any and all classes.

I infer that you chose Linux as an example of a successful open-source project--and I would agree that it is in the server landscape. Which is why I turned to desktops, because that's the other half of the coin. After all, servers are somewhat pointless without clients to serve.
But before I close on Linux on the server, I have to point out that RMS thinks that web applications (arguably one of the most common uses of Linux on the server) are as bad as or worse than proprietary applications. Since we're talking about open-source extremism being untenable, this is highly relevant. I would argue that any Linux server which runs a proprietary web application as part of its software stack can not be considered a success story for open-source extremism (hereafter referred to as OSE). For RMS' thoughts on web applications, see [Who Does That Server Really Serve?](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html)
For the same reason, any TiVoized device, including many Android phones, cannot be seen as OSE successes. They rely on proprietary components, which means that it fails the basic tenets of Open Source software--that a person should be able to review and modify the source code which runs on the computer.

I mainly use them when I flat-out don't care about the params, because I'm just providing a dependency's return value. But you're right, the annotations are a lot nicer looking.
