The github page has a screenshot, but no features list. It could be a good idea to add one. Right now, I still don't have any idea of what makes your email client different from any other, and why I would want to use it.

Huh?! If he's the copyright holder, he can license the code under whatever license he chooses and use his code in a commercial product if he wishes.

notmuch However, you must be willing to integrate it with other tools (a frontend, something like fetchmail, and something like procmail, etc.).

It's not as good as the title says. The journal publishers will still own the copyright, they will just have to license some rights to the university.

I am a fond user of RSS for the "large number of infrequently updated sites" use case, but I am still subscribed to some high-volume news sources. Relying on your friends to read them for you is good, but obviously not sustainable (if every

I read the book in question. A password to an encrypted file is given at some point, but it is presented as a one-time thing to transfer a specific private file. If Wikileaks reused this password for something else, then it's pretty stupid

In this comment I would like to propose "PTTH". PTTH is nearly identical to HTTP, except you replace all occurrences of "HTTP" in the protocol by "PTTH". Why is this inferior to HTTP? Why are people investing time and money to provide HTTP

The interested reader should not assume hastily, however, that tr -s is enough to make cut behave exactly like awk. Hint: leading spaces. pi:~$ echo ' foo' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 pi:~$ echo ' foo' | awk '{print $1}'

cut -f1 and awk '{print $1}' are not equivalent, though: awk does not count empty fields. To be precise: pi:~$ echo 'foo bar' | cut -d ' ' -f 2 pi:~$ echo 'foo bar' | awk '{print $2}' bar

I agree that under the right circumstances, the code would have to be released under the AGPL. I disagree with the fact that you could not also release the code ( your code, not including any of MLstate's code) under a permissive license

Of course, someone could just forge such an ID scan, which is far easier than forging the ID itself. [Things could get harder the day governments start issuing cryptographic IDs (like, say, a smartcard which Google can query remotely).]

He should have replaced "dog" by "bot". Think about spam. CAPTCHAs are a poor substitute to an identity provider saying "this person already passed a Turing test". (However, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to adopt the trivial trust net

Uh, I think this is wrong. Your code is not a derivative work of Opa, you can release it under whatever permissive license you want. (Of course, if users run it using Opa, they might have obligations with respect to Opa's license, but thi

To be precise, OSM is not public domain data. It is under CC-BY-SA and migrating to ODbL. (The migration will probably be painful.)

This is neat, but it only works if your setup is simple enough to be usable by a random thief so that they can get an Internet connection ready so that the machine can phone home. Were someone to steal my laptop and boot it, they would reac

If this could encourage people in Britain to use alternatives to Facebook and Twitter, then this could be a pretty good thing for the health of the social media ecosystem.

Understanding why Bayes' theorem is true isn't the hardest part. P(A and B) is both P(A) P(B|A) and P(B) P(A|B), and the result follows. I find this derivation easier to remember than the usual formula, by the way.

True. I often use text-based applications because I can usually expect them to have a sensible and efficient interface which does not require the mouse. There are graphical applications which follow the same spirit, but they are pretty well

Besides the technical details, there are good practices which should be followed, but I don't know of any document which lists them. This is a pity, because though text-based interfaces are often designed in a much more efficient way than G
