Thanks for calling this out. I belive Knuth remarked that Dijkstra himself didn’t program the way he thougth CS students should.

Good point. Some things you will learn by necessity, but if you dont know about say regexes you probably wont think of searching specifically for such a tool.

Perhaps if you already know C#, otherwise I doubt it. Of course it depends on ones prior experience, but F# is functional but still requires you to understand OO in order to interact with the framework.

The “classic editions” will probably be deluxe and more expensive, so overall it might be a win-win for the publisher. If they dont sell they will be discontinued, if they sell they will continue to be published. > possibly even make mon

But ignorance of the law is not a defence. Given everything can be assumed to be under copyright, I don’t see how it can be a valid denfense that you “didnt know” something was under copyright.

by bazoom42 4y ago
But when would you “unknowingly” violate copyright, when everything is under copyright by default?

It is like writing your name inside your jacket. It might help you in case of disputes or if it gets lost, but it doesn’t in itself change the ownership of the jacket.

The year in a copyrigt notice is supposed to be the year when the work was first published. So updating just the year would technically be wrong. That said, it doesn’t matter much since the notice is purely informational - it doesnt actuall

Yeah they were unknown until they became popular. But if you suggest the werent commercial this is clearly wrong. They were styled and marketed.

Pop music was produced on an assembly-line at least since the 1940’s eg the Brill building style. Of couse some of the music produced like this was great art.

No, because you dont get royalties from a movie just because you are in the credits.

When was pop music not commercial? Isn’t this basically the definition of pop music?

> The inability to handle commas as terminators rather than separators is a disaster that immensely complicates generating arbitrary json. This is a bit over the top. At worst you need a flag to special-case the first item.

I started watching a tv-show, but turned it off since almost all of the characters were policemen. I found this very fake and unrealistic sine policemen are only a small fraction of the population.

by bazoom42 4y ago
Surely that depends on the setting? In any case, nobody complains that fiction contains too many policemen, detectives or cowboys compared to the average distribution in society.

It is a (short) biography which means it is about the life and experiences of the artistst, not just their works. The article mention how the Jewish cultural background influenced Superman, eg superman arriving like Moses. But does the arti

Agree, although it gets tricky with translations. For childrens litterature there is a tradition of re-tellings of classics. But this seem to present as the original, which is problematic. Some jurisdictions have the concept of moral rigts,

You are discounting fiction then. Lots of art describe or depict things the artist never personally experienced.

You mean readers read the characters as gay even though it is never directly stated? Traditionally there are certain “tells” which are subtle enough that readers who are uncomfortable by queer characters miss the subtext. This is really a w

SGML allowed you to minimize a closing tag. And HTML supported this in theory, although mainstream browsers never supported it. XML went for a syntax with fewer options because the complexity of SGML was considered a hinderance to its adopt

“As a format” depends on what you use it for. No comments and simple syntax is great for an interchange format but a drawback for a configuration file format.

by bazoom42 4y ago
XML does not support non-unicode characters either. For an interchange format this is a good thing, not a drawback.

XML shines at the intersection of structured documents and structured data. For pure data you can use JSON or s-expresssions but this does not work very well with more document-orinted data. There is a reason frontend frameworks use HTML te

XML itself is a pretty focused spec. XML schemas and the whole SOAP stack is where it went off the rails.
