The only practical and widely used definition of open source is the one known as the Open Source Definition published by the OSI. The set of free/libre licenses (as defined by the FSF) is almost identical to the set of open sources lic

I don't think that's correct. If server A redirects to server B, then server B does not obtain the IP address of server A, only the IP address of the client. Also, the client does not send a "301 request" to server B, it

The malicious website can stop the Referer header from being sent by setting the Referrer-Policy header to "no-referrer". Also, redirects apparently wouldn't include a Referer header any way, according to kbolino's comme

Thank you for considering it! To make something open source, all you need to do is to choose an open source license. Add it as a file to your project. Here's a good website to help you choose a license: https://choosealicens

The environment variable you're thinking of is `PYTHONUNBUFFERED`, not `UNBUFFERED` [0]. If you want a generic solution to this problem, try the `unbuffer` command [1]. For anyone who's interested, I recommend reading Julia Evan&#

setuptools was never part of Python's standard library. I think you're thinking of distutils which was removed from Python in the 3.12 release. You can easily access distutils again by installing a package from PyPI.

Both prescriptive standards and descriptive standards have their uses. If POSIX is a prescriptive standard, then maybe another standard should exist that is descriptive.

For me, fractional scaling on a HiDPI screen is broken on X11, but works well in Wayland. Here's an example from yesterday: I was playing Factorio full-screen, and some of the GUI elements were too large and wouldn't fit it in the

WordPress is licensed under the GPLv2 license (or later), which is an open source license. It is also a free/libre licence. The OSI is the only widely accepted authority on the definition of open source in software. You can find the op

It's 40% of websites, but bear in mind that not all websites are of equal significance. Some websites are just spam and never receive any visits. If we measured how much time people spend on different websites, I would guess that WordP

You're right, I and those who agree with me were the first to ask people to "shut up", in this case, to ask Meta to stop misusing the term open source. And I was the first to say "shut up", and I know that can be in

That's not the only thing that people are complaining about. Even the code is not open source, despite being called open source.

I'll concede that "open source" may mean other things in other contexts. For example, an open source river may mean something in particular to those who study rivers. This thread was not talking about a new context, it was no

Neither of those usages relate to IT, they both are about sources of intelligence (espionage). Even if they were, the OSI definition won, nobody is using the definitions from 1995 CIA or the 1996 InfoConWar book in the realm of IT, not even

No, it's not. The Llama 3 Community License Agreement is not an open source license. Open source licenses need to meet the criteria of the only widely accepted definition of "open source", and that's the one formulated b
