With Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, many in the GitHub community were fearful of what new ownership from a company once openly hostile to open source would spell for the future of GitHub, and many of those people chose to leave the siterather than entrust Microsoft with their software.

People who left the site just because Microsoft acquired it were reactionary manchildren so I don't see how it's an argument. MS have done a lot for the open source community as of late (VS Code, TypeScript, etc). And feel free to count the amount of @microsoft.com emails that show up in Linux kernel commits. Jamie here even worked for Facebook so he hasn't a leg to stand on with this asinine drivel about trust of all things. That part about a "second chance" is just the cherry on top.

MS would rather keep ICE as customers since they don't whine as much and actually pay money for the enterprise features given it's a government org. Meanwhile JavaScript codelets abuse GitHub like a free web host all the time. Don't shit where you eat.

>dollar amounts may range from $0 (for entities that I like) to $500 (for smaller businesses and such) to $5,000-$50,000+ (for large/publicly traded corporations).
This faggot is fucking delusional if he thinks his software is worth paying $50,000+ for the license :story:

Heh, I want to see him try to push this license on a project.

Because what will happen, is that people will fork it at the commit right before the new license was introduced. And if any big companies rely on that project, the fork will get all the attention because they don't want a cutesy political joke license to fuck up their business interests later.

Benno Rice apparently decided not to run for Core Team this time, and has left after his successful CoC pushing.

Benno's twitter account looks exactly the way it looked before, but they're all new posts, it's like he's been recycling the same tweets and bad memes for months.

Heh, _arthur_ says "they will at most tweak language". But when it comes to CoCs, even small language choices are incredibly important.

That could be the difference between regulating someone's behavior off-project as well as on-project.

Guido van Rossum is stepping down as Python's Benevolent Dictator for Life

It appears I missed a big fight over PEP 572 "Assignment Expressions". I find the C-style assignment pretty ugly and error-prone as has been brought up many many times. More info on LWN https://lwn.net/Articles/757713/

Edit: I'd like to mention the Python development team has done a superb job in keeping things clean, readable, updating the docs, etc. It is way too easy to get carried away with proposals and end up with an inconsistent mess (see PHP, which is being fixed now)

The Arch User Repository was also recently compromised. The infected package has been removed, but you can see the mailing list discussion start here.

AUR was always extremely optimistic and I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. I used Arch like 8 years ago and I got tired of it destroying my configs all the time. The xorg config meme was totally real (though I hear it's changed).

Based Matz continues to run Ruby and that whole group seems pretty low on drama. Ruby shows it’s age in 2018, but it never felt like it lacked a steady hand. Maybe we should get more Mormons into language design.

Notice how languages that you can “teach your 12 year old daughter” tend to generate the most drama.

I used Arch for about half of last year, and I never had to fuck around with xorg configs, and contrary to the memes a full system upgrade never screwed me over. I was always really suspicious of the AUR since some packages in there were so ancient. That's the bind with bleeding-edge linux distros, though: you either get one with lots of packages of questionable quality because they're submitted willy-nilly to the repos, or you get one that lacks a lot of common packages because everything has to be either created or vetted by the devs.
