I don't see any mention of Mac at all in the Readme, and I find the "etc" part confusing. For example, I use FreeBSD. PS4 is based on FreeBSD. Does FreeBSD go under the "etc" part? If not then what does?

A proprietary piece of software we use at work has a Python API for which they are using Boost.Python.

I've written a piece of software to get some data from the API and to analyze the retrieved data. The Python API has a bit of a "C++ smell" to it and doesn't feel completely pythonic but it's good enough. The bigger problem is that the vendor's idea of documentation is a single PDF generated from the class definitions and everything is either very sparesly or not at all commented, heh.

The person that made the site could manually trigger a series of new screenshots though.

The "two-bit" scheme that fig 12 is for does not have branch history, whereas "two-level adaptive, global" which has fig 14 fits the bill.

But to me and I think probably to most people who have an interest in creating a successful product or service, we the hackers and the makers don't want money just because we want money. We also don't want the money just so that we can have a private jet, ridiculously big mansion or other forms of luxury.

No doubt I would afford myself a higher living standard and some luxury on top if I had a lot of money but it's not my primary motivation, and again I think this is true of most of those who wish to create something.

I want my product to succeed because I believe in it. I believe that I can bring value to my customers. I believe that my solutions have properties that the products of my competitors don't. I believe that I can improve the lives of others, even if not in drastically new ways.

Now since I believe this it only makes sense that I want "unlimited" funds (i.e. there is no upper bound to the amount of money I would like for my business to have), so that I can grow a business that can reach as many people as possible and produce as many products as possible. I need money so that I can hire people, good people. I need money for everything that my business needs to do because without money I can't do it.

Preact is a fast 3kB alternative to React, with the same ES2015 API as that of React.

Preact is MIT licensed and does not have any additional conditions beyond that.

Please to god W3C, take 402 and make it part of that standard! I so wish for us all to be able to respond 402 and have a simple standard way to charge.

Well, either that or maybe the opposite. When there's a financial incentive people will respond to as many questions as possible just out of hope that they'll be awarded for any of the answers. If that happens then that will kill the quality of the answers. Good answers take time to research or require knowledge that only a minority of people have for any specific question. Spewing out garbage answers takes no time and no skill so it's more likely that more people will be doing that.

If done as a separate release, will that version be maintained in the future?

You and me we both RTFM, but the population at large? Not so much. When computers were in their early days more of the people that used them were willing and even interested to learn a lot about what was going on. Now the computer is a tool used by most people to do specific tasks. Just like I don't care to learn how to fix my car they don't want to learn how to troubleshoot software nor hardware problems with their computers.

So it might not make economical sense for Apple to spend any significant amount of money on employing technical writers.

I feel it's important to mention that much of my love for Dvorak comes from the grid layout keyboard I've been using for all these years (wore one out though but bought a couple more to replace it), and which remains my primary keyboard both at home and at work.
