Ahem --- JDK => JVM!

I may have been answering past you - I am thinking of Java running on the JDK here. And indeed I may be out of date also.

Have you tried Mastodon / Fediverse with no promotion algorithm based on engagement? It feels very different to Twitter even pre-Musk. Also: I run an informational bot, which is why I was on Twitter until Musk turned all that access o

I had an item vanish in transit to me (in the UK) and support chat (after fighting through some robotic stupidity) very quickly and without fuss gave me a refund on the spot. So humans do still exist and have agency and are reachable in pa

Quite a decent write-up I think. Yes, we should be overbuilding solar and wind because not using some is cheaper than trying to deal with not having enough. The GB NESO grid recommendation for 2030 is approximately 50GW offshore wind, 50GW

Possibly related: I note that my macOS calendar has simply been failing to notify many of the alerts that I have set, and I have been late for meetings, etc, as a result. I can watch some events pass with the calendar open and no alert arr

I suspect that the BadGuys(TM) will indeed ignore any sort of licence, as they have done with content that I created long ago. However, for a laugh, I just made all the textual content on my key site explicitly CC BY 4.0. Most of my code

Any licence that requires attribution should be enough in principle , eg CC BY 4.0, Apache 2.0.

No that is not possible, so far as I know, not in such terms. Attempting to lay that blame on you like that would be stupid and far from professional, assuming that it was not a fake or hijacked account . I cannot imagine that you were hi

Well, it was a while ago... I was trying to choose a language to use for our start-up's tiny (2kB EPROM, 2kB RAM?) Z80A system, alongside some assembler, and I was basically having to write an OS/runtime for the robot that I desi

Arrrgh! I think that I may have unintentionally insulted you in about 1987 when (as a callow youth) I was trying to pick a language for an embedded/robotics system. I believe that I spoke to you on the phone about ... ahem ... C, whi

That's approximately my approach with a CC BY 4.0 / Apache 2.0 / CC0 licence and uploading to Zenodo / Dryad and getting an official DOI. Possibly even some useful legitimate fodder for those fashionable AI data sinks!

I don't know, but I've put this question in my favourites list! I do mantain a stripped-down ZIP of one of my key sites in Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10119195 But maybe you could just host a plain
