when a piece of software is described as "modern" it tells you nothing about the software, but it tells you something about the person doing the describing.

The word "modern" generally has a very interesting usage. Like, we say we live in a modern world, but almost everything in it isn't modern. It's a kind of a wish about what should be.

yes, as someone pointed out it's similar to how "minimal" means "it's missing a ton of features but just features that other people want"

Some software projects benefit from "eating their own dog food", to use an unappetising metaphor.

So if GitHub Copilot did so, presumably there's a good chance that it incorporated code with a copy left license such as the GPL. That could require Microsoft to release the Copilot source code under the same copy left license(s).

Just a thought....

One intriguing way out of this mess is by forcing the mobile platforms to fully support Web Apps, or at least to get out of the way developers who want to offer mobile tools to users to make Web Apps fully functional:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/facebook-says-apple-too-powerful-theyre-right

A Web App is just what it sounds like: an app that is delivered into your browser, and runs inside of it.

17/
Cory Doctorow's linkblog
Cory Doctorow's linkblog mastodon (AP)
The Web App experience *could* be (but isn't) pretty much identical to installing app store apps: choose your app, click install, grant or refuse permissions, get an icon on your home screen:

https://open-web-advocacy.org/

But because Web Apps run in browsers, they can be modified by browser plugins - like ad- and tracker-blockers.

18/
Cory Doctorow's linkblog
Cory Doctorow's linkblog mastodon (AP)
And because Web Apps are defined by open standards - not by corporate fiat handed down by monopolists whose own products compete with app developers - anyone can make a Web App development toolkit:

https://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/

Regular software can spy on users and steal their data, too, of course. But turning "programs" into "apps" didn't solve this problem - it just limited users' ability to defend themselves, making them reliant on two companies to decide what protections they deserve.

Hi folks,

A colleague of mine is running a survey on Sustainability in Software Practices.

The aim is to learn about people's thoughts on sustainability in their practice.

Some context: as you probably know, I care a lot about sustainable or "frugal" computing.I had some discussions with my colleague where I explained my views on the need for sustainable computing, and he said that we should know what people in the industry currently think about this. That will help us in working out how to make software practices more sustainable.

So he put together a small team and they are doing focus groups in companies and this survey.

If you are a "software practitioner", it would be great if you could complete it.

Thanks, and boosts welcome!

There are named winds all over the world but in the Mediterranean, every wind has a name. The names are similar (with some linguistic differences) in every Mediterranean country and are used more commonly than compass points. They don't just indicate direction but also express, poetically, characteristics.
An old mosaic marble floor indicating the basic wind names (and relative compass points) in Italian seas: from Tramontana (N) clockwise by 45º to Grecale (NE) Levante (E) Scirroco (SE) Mezzogiorno (S) Libeccio (SW) Ponente (W) and Maestrale (NW).

the only local word for sudden strong winds I’ve heard here is Qualicum, or Xwkwa’luxwum in Pentlatch language. Only for a very specific region though.
Does the image you shared list all the names? I wish I could load it :).
ccohanlon
ccohanlon hometown (AP)
Only the principal ones. In the Adriatic, there are names for local winds that have distinct properties — e.g. the Croatians have the 'bura' (which the northern Adriatic Italians call the 'bora') and the 'jugo', while the Greeks call the often violent north wind of the Aegean the meltemi. For the Egyptians, a hot Saharan south or south-easterly is the khamsin (called the ghibli in Tunisia and eastern Libya, and the ostro or scirocco in the Italian southern Adriatic).

thanks for your input. My preferred keyboard layout is the German one and if I wanted to learn another one, it'd be the default US one.
