I'm lucky enough to be employed full time to work on open source, but I still build my own OSS in my own time because it scratches a different itch. My work on Astro is fun, but it's my job, with Linear tickets and standups and 1:

They're trained on lots of code, and pretty much every public repo has markdown in it, even if it's just the README.

You chose wisely. I got FSD in 2019 and it was frankly terrifying.

by ascorbic 2y ago
Yes, it would be nice. There is at least now a presumption in favour of releasing everything under an open licence, but OS maps are one of the exceptions.

Well, the ones where they forgive it right away don't write blog posts about it, so you don't know about them. I guarantee that every case which makes the front page is either an example of a mistake made by an individual support

No, that only works if they're already added via an iOS device.

They're also impossible to register without an iOS device. I have a pair that I won, but have no iPhone or iPad. They work great with my Macs, and pretty well with Android, but there is no way for me to register them with Find My, whic

Privatisations, like most IPOs, are deliberately under-priced, and I'd very much doubt that the valuation of Royal Mail would have been affected by adding "The universal service provider must maintain the postcode address file and

No, I'm pretty sure this one was incompetence. It came at the same time that the government was going all-in with open data in other areas, and this was a really stupid omission.

Yes, it's in the European Convention on Human Rights, which despite the name also covers companies' rights.

by ascorbic 2y ago
Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the ECHR covers exactly this, so the Supreme Court (and ECtHR if it came to that) would probably find in favour of Royal Mail if this were to be done without compensation.

They allow you to search by postcode, so they license at least that much.

So it turns out that James O'Malley has written a post that addresses all the details of this already (of course), including several options for how it could be done affordably. https://takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/h

It was (stupidly) included in the assets when Royal Mail was privatised, so it's no longer publicly owned.

They made about £18m in revenue though. It depends who'd be taking on the costs. If they still need to maintain the PAF (they need it themselves), then it's the revenue that would need replacing. The best solution would probably b

As he points out, this was a profoundly stupid mistake made when privatising Royal Mail. It would have been trivially easy to do at that point, but now it's a lot harder. If the government decided that it does want to do this, it can&#

Mid-80s is a bit late for a test from 1989. Most of these questions would need you to be in university or work. I'd say mid 40s to early 70s is more realistic. My uncle was born around '48 and was working at Cambridge Computer Lab

There are also private and corporate leases. In the UK at least 20-30% of new car sales are leases (it's a tax efficient way to get a new car, particularly EVs), and these usually run for about 3 years, after which they're sold of

Community notes predate Musk. They're a lot more common now, but they're needed more than ever too. Meanwhile spam is everywhere (except in the "probable spam" section) and all ads are scams.

No, it's the opposite. The advice we were given was that it was very important that their first encounter with the allergens was to eat them, and not to allow skin contact or anything before that. This meant that with my youngest we ha
