So we can stake the punishment on subjective limits on required sleep? Blood alcohol provides a quantifiable measure of impairment. Sleep trackers don't even come close to measuring sleep well enough to provide a single number to use w

The GPLs (excepting AGPL) only require release of source code if it is distributed outside the company/person modifying it. It comes from a pre-networked time when most software required distribution to be useful. Setting up a web serv

There is significant engineering cost to implement localization correctly. If you're a bank or in another market where you interact with a government, then you must bear those costs. If not, why not just use an opaque string and spend

I don't listen to podcasts while programming, I listen to them in the shower or during a drive. I do find the interview format to be a great way to learn (at a high level).
