Is that a wrong take though? The instability this is causing is, mostly from what I can tell, strictly tied to the OSS dev community. I haven't seen tonnes of users talking about it or even caring enough to see what the fuss is about.

It was export restricted for ages. If you were an American company as late as the late 2000's (at least) you had to get permission to export strong encryption. The right to communicate math ended at the US border. It's entirely

A thought experiment: Would US independence have been achieved if the internet existed and the British crown had the ability to use that money to influence Americans? IMO it's at least contrary to the spirit of the constitution, which

One way to test this kind of efficacy is to compare it to a known sample with a missing piece, e.g.: create an artifact with known text, destroy it in similar fashion, compare what this model suggests as outputs with the real known text. Th

Microsoft does sell operating systems (and user data from those operating systems). Those operating systems are typically bundled / installed by default on computers. It's in their best interests to have everyone using the "l

Sorry for your loss. I was an avid Qmodem user back in the day. Your father's software directly led to a lifetime passion for me. Dialing into a local BBS and being able to reach people around the world was, to me as a kid in the 80s,

While true, it seems like every individual quote page also includes: <meta content='noindex' name='robots'> Worth noting as well, their sitemaps all 404.

Honestly having one single dedicated F key for jumping anywhere to a class or method definition is, for me, a killer feature that most alternatives lack. I do a lot of kinds of development with Vim, but for certain languages I find it a far

They've also done quite a bit of work to make things such as hosting a web service much much simpler, through the addition of things like SimpleFileServer, as well as some better convenience methods. It makes it far far closer to the p

Others have given you an angle related to consent. I'll give a different take: Rehabilitation. In some philosophies, Prison is designed to rehabilitate prisoners so they don't reoffend. Execution doesn't fit with this philoso
