Gabriel Arazas 732ef34ca8 Update notebook as of 2021-10-09 
Welp, I rarely take notes nowadays due to more specialized work and
stuff. Though, I should have more incentives for writing. In other
words, I'm just lazy. ;p

More free-thinking morning sessions should be done soon.

Openness makes diversity

  • from the nature of openness, there tends to be more options that offer the same thing
  • at times, it also causes diversity by people who disagrees with the standard or wants to take it in a different direction
  • it is good especially it lets other projects to stand on their vision; Tradeoffs lock yourself in a position
  • as one or two progresses, it turns into a cooperative competition

  • examples

    • Linux distros and How Linux distributions are technically their own operating system with their subtle (or major) differences to others
    • Nix package manager pioneered functional package management; then Guix package manager took it in a different direction with a stronger focus on Reproducible builds and roam:Bootstrapping
    • in terms of desktop landscape in Linux, both GNOME and KDE creates friendly competition to progress desktop standards; this rings true especially both are contributing to the Freedesktop repository to create more standards for the desktop
    • bits 128-255 that ASCII leave made a competition for other standards such as OEM by IBM-PC for graphical characters or simply used for non-English alphabets
    • the major members of the BSD family (i.e., NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD) all have different priorities; NetBSD focuses on compatibility, FreeBSD is on minimal system with the adequate amount of support, and OpenBSD in security
