I don't see how, personally. There are tons of thriving open source non-copyleft projects. And there are tons of GPL violators who go on business as usual. I think perhaps copyleft licenses are overattributed to the success of such

I'm not British, but I do agree that the stone measurement does make sense in a human way. It's pretty easy to see how it came about. Oh take a rock about the size of x(whatever x was agreed upon at the time), and see how many t

So, I'm only going to try to explain my view once more to avoid a million downvotes replying to all, but I'm not intentionally being difficult. Most places, I think, most people don't talk in precise units at all. Give me a

Beer pouring is inexact. 500 ML is never 500ML. A system based on halfs is inexact but more accurate.

It's not just about the gallon, but its base 2 subunits.

I've been all over the world. Don't make assumptions based on your own argument.

Because a gallon is divisible in human unit. A quart is a quarter or a gallon, a pint is half that. 250ml is both exotic sounding and guaranteed not as exact when measured in halves.

Metric makes sense in science, sure. But our system makes more sense to humans. A gallon of gas is easier than 3.8 liters. A pint of beer is easier than its metric equivalent. As a gearhead, I absolutely hate the metric/standard di

I can't imagine a world where cell phones don't have chargers...and battery life indicators are a thing of the past. Such a surreal thought. That said, would it be wrong to worry about the dangers of this? I mean, cell phone bat

Uncomfortable, but about perfect for popping your back. Though the back discomfort probably came from the horrid chairs in the first place, come to think of it.

Amazon already more or less tracks these things, I think. About 3 years ago, I needed new jeans, so ordered some on Amazon. They were a little tight, and didn't loosen up, so I purchased the next size up (a couple months later). I i

I'd imagine they may already be. I've been having a -lot- of issues with captchas lately. It's not my eyes getting worse, they seem to be getting both more esoteric, and the letters all crammed together. Is that cl, cI, ol

Flip the first line between true and false, you'll see different memory usage based on declaration type. I haven't analyzed the compiler code, but my assumption is it's forced to return an actual slice object when one is dec

I thought the same, so assume this was the acceptance rate when pitching the idea to small business owners.

I'm not. I've been a Go programmer for years, and I literally quoted your comment above mine - it says (or slices)

The former, mainly. I'm thinking big companies like TSMC, Asus, etc, that likely have presence and operations in both.

Serious question - are Taiwanese companies typically prone to this also, or does CCP mainly leave them alone?

> in Go there are no uninitialized arrays (or slices) This is a little murky and misleading. In Go, you can actually save memory by 'declaring' only. For example, if you do var x []string, and never use x, it never actually u

I know this isn't the right forum, but where does one report bugs to Webex? It never lets me enter a full 7 letter tld in an email address, if you care.

My first math teacher taught us division by zero was infinity. He justified it by showing division by 1, then fractions, and how the line goes up towards infinity. Today this is seen as incorrect, but it still makes more sense to me than

Amex fan here. Their support is top notch, and their suite of cards gives me best typical rewards. 4x on grocery/restaurant, 5x on travel, etc. And those cash out at 1.25, so it's really more like 6x on grocery.

Specifically no, but I do know they are trained. That said, training is just that. If you see X, do Y. And sure, net, it's a positive thing. But again, they aren't medical doctors. It's not always IF THEN. Oftentimes it

So cops are doctors now? Or EMS even? Neither have any real medical training, at all. No offense meant, EMS grind for little money, but they're not medical doctors. Narcan I was already uneasy about, but it saved real lives in obvio

It's not a life-saving drug, it's literally never needed. Guy was 140 lbs. There's not a 140 lb man I couldn't subdue myself, probably. And I'm just an out of shape programmer. Why do six cops feel they can&#x2

Why are we injecting people during arrests, which by definition are not yet guilty people? Even if nobody had died, this is absurd.

Yes, and nobody knew how to deploy or use Linux applications until Docker came along and saved us all.

Not in SV. Farthest thing from it. I'm an old timer on this site, and I'll never trust MS. They got their lunch eaten and pretend to be open source friendly. They are not.
