+1 on this. I use Tower which has really nice submodule support.
In demoing Sublime Merge — if I move branches that use a different submodule or different submodule version, I get uncommitted changes, either a folder where the submodule was or commit change on submodule.
Seems as though she undermines her whole point with the "Here’s what is true about the “open source is really well funded” myth" section.
The open source projects that people/businesses really care about are funded. Isn't a non-funded open source project just one an open source project that no one really cares about?
I think there is a really subtle line that she has missed by assuming all open source projects developers use are really important. There probably should be at least three categories: (1) really important projects (funded / managed), (2) projects that are not really that important (not funded / managed by community) and (3) those that are not important (not funded / not managed).

It's one that no one with substantial spare cash cares about.
Granted, it's broadly understood that people without money aren't actually people, but it's considered gauche to say so out loud.
Are you taking my argument and projecting it onto how people are valued within a society, and even onto how I value people?
That would stretch my argument to encapsulate a much broader topic than was intended. You would have to make a lot of assumptions both about me and my argument to do so.
Good advice; it's good software. Per their site, so good that GoPro actually bought Dashware (or at least the team, not sure of the details of the product).
This was a very smart buy for them, assuming they use the technology and not just the team for some other venture. Their stock price may rebound if they can do this successfully.
- $$ for special effects or special "data widgets"
- have an online video editor that uses the "cloud" (so users are locked into their services and software). Sort of like Dropbox, but for GoPro videos and includes an awesome editor. Charge $$ for membership and/or space.
- $$ for GoPro sensors.
Of course, I hate to have to lock my video into their servers... but that is how they would make $$.
I wonder if 10% is enough of a cut to make the business viable again, or if this is just pandering to the market. Seems likely that someone picked this number out of the air to make a statement.
If Liam is reading (or anyone else who can answer), I'd like to know how he plans to release hardware quickly and stay in compliance with the FCC. Seems like this is a pretty big stumbling block in between the steps of creating a prototype and then later shipping / selling that hardware.
Breaking down this wall would bring hardware prototyping significantly closer to how web development is done with iteration.
this is my first reaction too. I don't see how this makes it easier for the consumer. I don't especially want to type my user name and password into one of those terminals.
Pay by name uses the GPS in your phone so that when you walk into Starbucks, your face and name appear on the cash register. Walk into a Starbucks in a distant city:
Customer: "cappucino please"
employee: "Paul, right?"
customer: "yes"
employee: "decaf and skim, as usual?"
customer: "yes, thanks"
employee: "ok, you've paid by square"
The partnership didn't mention pay by name, but I can't imagine the partnership is really meaningful without it. This could spur widespread adoption of pay by name. When people start doing this at Starbucks, it will quickly seem like a normal way to pay, and using a card may start to seem clunky.
I guarantee that typing in a PayPal account number is hella clunky, and NFC little better. Do I reall want to unlock my phone to buy coffee?
