I use GNOME as my primary desktop environment on my Linux PC at home. GNOME gives me an easy-to-use graphical desktop that provides the flexibility I need yet doesn't get in my way when I focus on my work. GNOME recently released GNOME 44 with a bunch of new features. I reached out to the GNOME team to ask about the latest version and what was in it.
Retry your Python code until it fails

Apr 25, 2023 | opensource.com | Moshe Zadka

Sometimes, a function is called with bad inputs or in a bad program state, so it fails. In languages like Python, this usually results in an exception. But sometimes exceptions are caused by different issues or are transitory. Imagine code that must keep working in the face of caching data being cleaned up. In theory, the code and the cleaner could carefully agree on the clean-up methodology to prevent the code from trying to access a non-existing file or directory.
C vs. Go: Comparing programming languages

Apr 24, 2023 | opensource.com | Jim Hall

Go is a modern programming language that derives much of its history from the C programming language. As such, Go is likely to feel familiar to anyone who writes programs in C. Go makes it easy to write new programs while feeling familiar to C programmers but avoiding many of the common pitfalls of the C programming language. This article compares a simple C and Go program that adds the numbers from one to ten.
The future of the sharing business model

Apr 21, 2023 | opensource.com | Ron McFarland

Younger generations prioritize experiences over assets and quality over quantity in many areas of life, and technology has evolved to help fulfill their desires. That's the position of Arun Sundararajan in his book The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism. According to Sundararajan, these young people do not want to be burdened with owning unneeded things. Notice these demand changes:Young people don't want to stay at a high-rise hotel.
How I teach Python with open source tools

Apr 21, 2023 | opensource.com | Don Watkins

I love to teach Python. I start by beginning where the learner begins. My first question is, "How would you like to learn Python?"They usually answer, "What's Python?"That's when I give them some examples of websites built with Python they might already be familiar with. I also provide examples of using Python in data science, engineering, web development, and, most recently, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Real-world examples of the sharing economy

Apr 20, 2023 | opensource.com | Ron McFarland

Some of the most familiar examples of the online sharing economy started small. Consider Airbnb, which started from three airbeds and became AirBed and Breakfast in 2008. As of 2016, 70 million guests have stayed in a stranger's home via Airbnb. The internet-based platform connects people who have a resource not used to capacity—excess space—with others who can use it and provides a means for them to establish trust. It's a perfect example of the sharing business model.
The sharing economy and the open organization

Apr 19, 2023 | opensource.com | Ron McFarland

The sharing economy is a new industry built around sharing resources instead of buying things new from a factory. If an asset is not being used to capacity by the owner, there may be others who can use it so the asset is utilized to its full potential. The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism, by Arun Sundararajan, gave me many new insights about this business model and how it relates to many open organization activities.

Edit your photos with open source artificial intelligence

Apr 15, 2023 | opensource.com | Don Watkins

I've been interested in photography ever since I co-opted my father's Kodak 620 camera as a young boy. I used it to take pictures of the flora and fauna of our neighborhood. My love of photography led me to an Instamatic camera in high school, and eventually to digital cameras as they entered the marketplace in the late 1990s. Early digital cameras provided portability and the ability to quickly capture and easily share images on the internet.
