  • Open-source software powers nearly all the world’s major companies. This software is freely available, and is developed collaboratively, maintained by a broad network that includes everyone from unpaid volunteers to employees at competing tech companies. Here’s how giving away software for free has proven to be a viable business model.

      @Everything I agree with Rezalion , That which was exploited by hackers get recognized and get paid to become white hats to beef up security. Turning what was once bad into good for others. It's a good article subject to look into. That which was bad, pushes for new learning for those that do which is good and it becomes a war of balance and learning progress for new technologies. Kindal ike AMD vs Nvidia have to up each other on new innovations to keep the market flow good for consumers.

      very true, if software was proprietary, then the barriers to entry would be too high for the regular person (only corporations could innovate, and they don't innovate, they build walls to solidify their position). The world needs fresh ideas, we need the innovators to provide solutions to our many problems, the ones that the corporations and governments don't want to bother with, and open source software is a key enabler in this struggle

    It's quite inaccurate to suggest that github standardized the way people collaborate on code projects. This credit goes to Linus Torvalds who invented git

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred Před 4 lety +151

      Linus didn't invent git, he wrote it. Other collaborative development system models already existed at the time. Linus simply wrote another. Because the one he liked (Bitkeeper) others screwed up Linux using it. They tried cracking the networking protocol it used. which the developer didn't appreciate. So he revoked Linux's use of his code. Which left Linus in a bit of a spot.

    The big problem in programming is the learning curve when you are just getting started. Getting a compiler uses to cost like 1599 or some ungodly amount but they would not sell less than 10 license copy to a kid. All I wanted is a single license. The student version was always limited because you don't need all that function. How to access MS Access using C++ at the time. I made the correct line of code and the student compiler said, "Why do you need to connect to a database?" I'm like trying to f-ing learn here and MS stopped my progress. MS owes me my childhood back.
    Today, I can get open source, learn, and if I can make a business or get sponsorship, I can do that. I am happy that everything is open-source now. It allows me the freedom to be creative. I only wish is that I can go back to 1990's and be developing at an early age.

    One key point missed in this video, was that Torvalds was developing Linux (a kernel without a tool-set) around the same time that Stallman was developing GNU (a tool-set without a kernel). Independently neither project was particularly interesting. What made Open Source EXPLODE, was the realisation that both projects fit hand-in-glove together. People began to create "Distributions" of Linux and GNU as a single unit (GNU/Linux) - Distributions like Red Hat, Suse, Slackware, and others is what really made the Open Source movement take off. None of it would have happened without all three factors meeting at the same time to create the Perfect Storm. Another key point to note: GitHub was built around Git, another of Torvalds' projects, that he wrote to manage the development of the Linux kernel. (Ive used Linux since 1993, First kernel 0.99.6)

First Red Hat, then Debian for a while, and from 2004 to 2018 Ubuntu. No I have settled on Linux Mint. Of course I use a lot of other open-source and free (libre) software too, like Firefox, Gimp, Quod Libet etc.. It has been interesting and fun to follow the spread and rise of open-source software from the modest early times to dominance in many areas. I believe that the spirit of open-source development has had a positive influence on many other areas of life. On the other hand, perhaps the open-source development model itself has also been inspired by some very different areas of life.

    Video titled "RISE of Open Source Software" in 2019? It's like you're 15 years behind on this news. 15 YEARS.
    I was in college when the RISE was happening... was part of few projects & ran FOSS activities in parts of my country.
    You missed a whole decade where the biggest proprietary software house Microsoft - fought, ridiculed, tried to shut down the whole Open Source movement,
    and finally now accepts & SELLS open source software as service on their cloud. A whole decade where Chrome browser & Android started from 0 and took over the market.
    And today, in your video you say "companies like Microsoft contribute heavily to open source" ... What LOL.
    Please tell me there are more people who've seen foss expand are watching this video and laughing!

      I've been wanting to make something like that.
      I need something to use as a dedicated web server.
      Also, say I'm running MERN stack (Mysql, express , react, node)
      AND an instance of XAMPP (php, mysql)
      I would have two instances of Mysql, is it ok to have two instances of Mysql?
      I see alot of instructions, to just run one on the regular port (3306) and the other on another port (3307, 3308, whatever)
      Point being....
      Is it ok to run these 2 stacks together?
      Do people run express MERN
      Along with apache XAMPP at the same time?
      Is it normal?
      Is it ok ?
      Best practices?
      Alot of ajax tutorials have people installing both of these, but that is for the tutorial and concepts sake.
      Is it ok to run both of these in the real world ?
      Assuming I'm going to run apps on prod on both.

      I dissagree. If you want to try GNU/Linux, do NOT start with raspberry Pi. It is not even powerful enought to run Android propertly, let alone full OS with multi tab webrowsing. It will give bad first impression. If you want to try, try Kubuntu on main PC without installing it (Live ISO).

      However, ask the average Windows 10 user if having an open source operating system is important to them. 95% of users will say no. They don't need this, they don't want this. And this is why Microsoft won't open the source of the XBox firmware, office or windows. They know exactly that they are doing. Most people just dont care.
