A perpetual, irrevocable "lease" is just be a "sale". You are just selling a copy at that point. Subscription-based/SAAS software is leased. I know it's pedantic, but to me the key thing is that it is the righ

Personal pet peeve, but the word people use really should be "lease." Copyright and patent rights are licensed (e.g. getting a license from Disney to manufacture Star Wars toys). The particular copy of the software you have is e

Even before that, mobile UI frameworks are retained mode GUIs, not immediate. They aren't drawing to a blank framebuffer 120 times a second if they don't have to. Redraws only happen when something changes (e.g. "Dirty"

Given how video game patents are in the news lately (with Nintendo suing the PalWorld devs for patent infringement rather than copyright infringement), I wonder how this would have turned out if Capcom managed to patent how SF2 works and su

Even "plagiarism" is putting way to positive a spin on it. "Rampant copyright infringement" is more accurate. I'm sure we all have our own feelings about IP law, but remember what happens to regular people who try s

In comparison to other places in the world (especially Asia), there is somewhat lower stigma regarding ADHD in the U.S. I would add the UK to the stigma list as well. The UK government and NHS are pretty rabidly ADHD-denialist and make i

Hard to determine comment accuracy. Industry will manufacture false claims in order to stop environmentalism because they believe in material wealth over all else.

In other words, a private school gets more money from a student’s voucher than a district gets from having that same student enrolled. The voucher doesn’t just move the same amount of money around. A voucher pulls more money from education

Declining enrollment and pulled funding can destroy the ability of a district to carry out the mission tasked to it by the government. This is not just hypothetical. The rural, conservative school district I used to work for (and may, many

You have rights with a public school system you don’t have with private school system. And not just “it’s a government run school so they have to follow the constitution.” You have explicit political rights. For example, you have the right

Of course it’s individual people. The political entity they work for obviously has no will of its own. It is terribly unsurprising to me that people tasked with a job by the government would do what they can to best carry out that job. Are

I do not wish for taxpayer dollars to fund private school (religious or otherwise) or homeschooling. One of the things I love most about this country is that America is a civic nation. This country is built on shared civic ideals, values, a

Government entities use taxpayer money to fund legal action (and pretty much everything else they do) all the time. I am not a lawyer but I believe it is called “administrative law” and is completely normal. To think so otherwise is complet

Yeah Windows does the same thing. It's something indie game devs run into. If you release on Steam, Steam launches your game. Otherwise you have to pay a certificate authority to sign your game or Windows Smart Screen will do the same

Technically apple-m4 is ARMv9.2a, but a quirk of LLVM defines v9.0 as requiring SVE, which is optional according to the Arm ARM and not supported by the core. ARMv8.7a is the next closest choice. Hmm I wonder how this happened? I assume a

The closest thing I have seen to this (which isn't that close) is the UI debug viewer in Xcode. You can get an exploded-view diagram of all the UI elements that you can rotate in 3D space. No lighting or shadows though and its limited
