It's not just helicopter parents. I'd love to let my kids have more freedom. But there are roadblocks at every turn: - There aren't as many kids, and other parents don't let their kids out these days, so your kids are of

I don’t know. I used nvAlt daily for many years, then Ulysses, then Obsidian as of a few weeks go. They feel very similar to me. They are all “very fast text editors that store your notes in a folder of text files and search them instantly.

It’s not out yet. It’s the Duke Nukem Forever or Half Life 3 of text editors. I’ve been waiting for it for years and years at this point. At this point I’m not sure it’s relevant. Obsidian has eaten its lunch.

I think this is totally fine, but they will need a better definition of what is and is not permissible. “Corporate” is a word that has many meanings. What about other entity types-sole proprietorships, partnerships? How about for-profit vs

This is so sad. I was unfamiliar with this whole dispute, but I've been a huge fan of the Doom 2016 soundtrack ever since that game was released. The music was absolutely essential to the game and it's amazing to me that they appa

Law is an excellent fit for tech skills IMO, if you also have a personality that fits the kind of law you want to do. This is true on multiple levels. Legal documents and briefs work like code in some ways, and the core function of the prac

I think the article misses the root cause here. Drastically increased availability of loan-based financial aid means far more more money in the system, which means the prices go up. The article nails the cause of more administrators--the sc

What do you mean? The outside air is also typically an unwanted temperature (although heat exchangers can mitigate that) and may contain allergens or particulates from smoke or exhaust.

Totally agree. If you have a reasonable window snapping feature via an app or the OS, one large monitor works best IMO. I like having the two windows right next to each other without two bezels in between. I also like the flexibility of pos

It’s shocking that they actually recognized the issues with the show and made the right call in canceling it.

I disagree. The more entrenched a practice is, like training AI models on media content, the less willing a court is going to be to take that practice away.

Your code is protected by copyright. The license allows for what would otherwise be copyright infringement. But training an AI model on media (code or otherwise) is not copyright infringement, so the license is irrelevant. It's selfish

Wow, thank you. This is exactly right. The entire response to this suit on this site is mind-blowing to me. Everyone is up in arms that someone trained an AI model that could potentially spit out tiny, twisted fragments of public, open-sour

Correct legally, morally, or both? Legally a copyright claim seems weak, but they didn't assert one. Some of their claims look stronger than others. The DMCA claim in particular strikes me as strong-ish at first glance, though. Morally

You mean the e-mail client that the vast majority of U.S. companies use daily to send and receive millions if not billions of emails? Yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on that.
