  5. Re:Common knowledge? on Documentation As a Bug-Finding Tool · · Score: 1

    My point is that if you're solving a hard problem that doesn't have a widely accepted solution, than it's better to document the thing when you'got something to show for.

    This might work if you're writing a new webshop. If you're doing something innovative it won't work.

    FYI Aquinas did a lot of damage to chemistry by promoting Aristotle's principle of five elements, and making it the official Christian teaching.

    For some reason they never have demo parties like this in North America. Why is that?

    Because you can't get rich doing it.

  15. Re:Photography, video editing. on Facebook To Buy Instagram For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    Adobe's stuff is pretty good on Windows, although I haven't tried the OSX exclusive stuff. What I heard is lately Apple has abandoned the pro grade videoedting features in Final Cut to target the masses.

    What is that you want to do on OSX and can't do on Linux? I mean, you go to Windows for games and engineering applications, you go to Linux for programming/servers . But why OSX? What is the niche it fills?

  22. Re:goodbye common sense on Gawker Media To Require Commenters' Facebook, Twitter, Or Google Logins · · Score: 1

    My guess is they use OpenID, which is not as much a security risk as you make it to be. Gawker won't store your username/password (if they're at least semi-competent, which might be questioned ... )

  23. Re:Some do on Open Source Payday · · Score: 1

    How it could work for a game: there's a developer with high street credit and makes a fundraiser Kickstart style. If there isn't enough money coming together, no game is being made and supporters get their money back, otherwise the game is made and it gets opensourced (even the game art).

    So the punishment for those who didn't support is that the game doesn't get made and there's nothing to piggyback. (And maybe get the game with 2 months delay if it gets made.)
      If you thing about it, the way Steam sales goes are a bit similar: hard core fans get the game on day one for $60, patient gamers get it for $5 one year later in a sale.

    I'm not saying that it's a one size fits all model, but it can work.

  24. Re:Some do on Open Source Payday · · Score: 1

    I think he favours the Blender model of FOSS: there are people in the community coming up with ideas for new features and making fundraisers for it. It's like Kickstarter except the result becomes OSS. If not enough money comes together, less features will be implemented. Of course it only works for people with proper resume/portfolio. (See their OpenCL renderer.)
