China is not a communist country, it's a “communist with Chinese values” country. I don't know what it means, but every time the topic is brought on the table, this is the official stance from the Chinese Communist Party.
I guess it means you owe loyalty to whatever authority you get: father, teacher, employer, emperor. Respect them, or they will crush you.
It means socialist country with Chinese style or Chinese variation. What it really means is that whenever needed, rules and values are bent and interpreted to the advantage of the ruling party. I am disgusted by it. That is doubly unfortunate because I consider myself Chinese, yet I consider myself fortunate compared to the millions in China because I am in a free country.
China was a pure communist country before the reform.
To keep the name, they had to attach it to a different interpretation.
when it comes to respecting the authority,
「王侯將相,寧有種乎!」is a pretty common value to Chinese people. can be partially translated as "When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman？--John Ball".
The people who was drafted for army was moving to the designated place. But due to the flooding, it is obvious they can't reach the place by the deadline. The penalty to miss the deadline is, by any means, death.
By facing the certain and unfair death penalty ahead of them, they decided the uprising. Saying.
王侯將相寧有種乎, "The king, loads, generals or ministers, Is there the seed for them?(no it isn't)"
In the end, they(the leaders, 陳勝 and 呉広) couldn't complete the the revolution. But the uprising movements continues and 秦 era was ended soon after.
I've bought an AMD Radeon RX580 on my desktop for gaming, and it's been working great so far with the default open source drivers that come with Ubuntu (18.04 onwards). Didn't have to do anything.
I remember reading this article back when it came out, and it made me think a lot about software licenses.
I encourage everyone here to invest some time to read the different libre and open source licenses out there and decide which one would be the best for the software they produce.
The choice of a software license is important and is a political choice.
I recommend not spending too much time researching the license. For copyleft there are not that many choices that are standard enough for people to be comfortable using your code (GPL, LGPL, MPLv2 and maybe some ecosystem specific licenses like the EPL).
For BSD-style licenses there is Apache for large projects (which has your back) and a myriad of others that does not.
They are, but if you start a new project and you want a permissive license you should probably choose Apache 2.0. It grants the same rights as an MIT or BSD license but also includes an explicit patent grant and a section that deals with the licensing of contributions.
I'm currently using a feed reader installed on my web server so that I can access and sync my feeds between all my devices (home computer, work computer and smartphone). I use Firefox on all of my devices. Do you know if there is a way to sync the Brief database on different devices to keep them in sync?
The Blender team is working on Blender 2.8 which will bring a lot of new features, including a lot of UI changes.
There was an article about some of these changes a while ago on their blog [1], and more recently a video showing a lot of these UI changes... available on the Blender Developers Youtube channel (how ironic!) [2].
Why not using Firefox?
