singpolyma commented on Ubuntu or Mint? at Reddit, saying

Not to mention both distros lack any sort of central app organization.

Basically every distro has this. Ubuntu definitely does.

singpolyma commented on Is there a way to tell if an element is of a certain type? at Reddit, saying
As long as your types implement Typeable and you're ok constraining to that, you can.

But any solution that uses Typeable is the wrong solution.

Since VMware is an LF member, it seems pretty clear.

No one wants to say anything official of course, but friends of mine who should know aren't saying no…

Maybe. This seems pretty unnecessary, but is certainly gaining popularity as a model.

Random programs running as you knowing everything about other programs running as you is obviously a security risk

s/a security risk/the whole point of having them run as "you"

singpolyma commented on Quick question, how will people make money? at Reddit, saying
They could, and they do. You can even make and distribute binaries for free. But if you make the easiest/most obvious way to get something to pay, most people will.

It turns out that laws don't prevent you from being able to get most proprietary software gratis. But people still don't, because buying is easier.

singpolyma commented on How to Charge for your Open Source at Reddit, saying
You can charge people without all the proprietary relicensing hoopla. If you make it more convenient to pay than to not pay, people usually will.

singpolyma commented on How to make a living by creating a digital service. at Reddit, saying
Well, basically the way it works is that you charge people to use the service. Then you offer to anyone who is a user access to the source code under a free license.
