This is exactly my perspective. An announcement post that Redis modules would now be distributed under a proprietary license with shared source would have caught nobodies attention. The problem for me is with trying to paint the Commons Cla

Note also that in some places, databases are explicity exempt from this "facts" exemption if you made considerable effort in compiling the database. (IANAL)

I'm curious why you didn't use the sphinx markdown option and/or use travis and github pages to generate the sphinx docs instead.

There are a large number of them, but most are sadly either abandonware or vaporware. The closest thing I feel we have right now is really matrix.org. User identities are federated unfortunately, but this makes things that are going to be a

I'm sure the fact that Google ventures is afaik gitlab's biggest investor has a lot to do with it too.

Well, they don't need to go anywhere. But their money can go anywhere and vanish in complex shell constructs, as it already does.

Sounds a bit like SEPA to me. At least that's how most donations and similar are handled here. AFAICT there's no need to have a special processor just to accept payments.

If the number of breaches happening every week is an indication, something is deeply wrong not with individual companies, but most of the industry.

I don't actually ever click on links from the homepage— I usually look at the comments first, then apply some heuristics like the types of discussions that are being had to see if I might like the article.

Sure, I'm just arguing that these should be seen more as strategic investments than as sign that these companies are about to roll out RISC-V chips right now, like GP implied.
551.
by ATsch 8y ago
well, there's a difference in supporting a technology and actually making chips with it. They are just investing in tech and research that might help them down the road. I doubt any of those companies (aside from SiFive) will be actual

I don't think the controversy here is with the feature itself, more with the implementation. Many, me included, would have preferred to seen a different implementation of solutions to the same problems. Code starts becoming a lot harde

As an uninformed observer, one of the biggest issues I see is the US two party system. Do you think government funding would help with that? I've always seen it more as a weakness of the general US electoral FPTP system.

So far, I have had a credit check done once. It was done by me voluntarily, to unlock additional functionality (receiving the purchase before the payment gets cleared), with my explicit consent ("checking your credit involves transmit

As noted in the previous discussion of this, it is, IMO not unfair to call this a PR hit piece. The authors are competing with the official APT repositories, and instead of informing users to patch, like a usual vulnerability announcement,

This is true, but people like the orginal tweeter often pretend that this learning order is somehow the only "real" way to do things. I don't see why it isn't equally as valid to learn high-level concepts first and then

The way things currently are, I agree. But I think it's a bit restrictive to limit yourself to that, when you are projecting decades into the future anyway.

I think if nothing else, this whole thing is a lesson in why non-free/non-OSI licenses are a bad idea.

If this was the case, then how was MS bundling IE a violation?

by ATsch 8y ago
how do you do this? I can't find this option anywhere

by ATsch 8y ago
that leads to problems with access control, though.

There is exceptions though, since this data is required. They just need to delete it, if they no longer have a reason to keep it.

Many people mention Microsoft's past history as reasons for worrying about this. However, I disagree. I don't think this would be bad because it's Microsoft. I think it would be bad because GitHub wouldn't be a generally

The author expected this comment, but i'd still like to note that this website saturates at least one core of my laptop, more depending where I scroll.

Perhaps try their GDPR takeout?

by ATsch 8y ago
Then you have a legal obligation to keep the data, which counts as one of the valid reasons for keeping it, AFAICT.
568.
by ATsch 8y ago
Regarding the last point, I'm not sure why this point is still being parroted, despite so frequently being corrected: The GDPR applies to any residents of the EU, not EU citizens regardless of location.

A thing I often see is people pointing to specifications and saying "look it's all fixed". But you can't chat using a piece of digital paper. What matters not is what the protocol can theoretically do, but the experience

It does exist, via libpurple. I think it was one of the first bridges. It is not currently maintained, AFAICT due to lack of general interest. Telegram, IRC, discord, slack, gitter etc. bridges are actively maintained, for comparison.
