In theory you could see it, but you couldn't think about it or use it -- you need to follow clean room rules. It's two sides of the same issue: either way, the code is not available to you.

This is a great reply, but it gets very deep into parsing and subjective opinion without coming to any sort of concrete conclusions (that can be applied to licensing anyway). Personally, I'm happy for others to use most of my code with

That's true of GPL code too... If my project is GPLv2, then GPLv3 code is not available to distribute or play with. Personally I'm happy for people to use and modify the code I've given away, even if they don't choose t

I wish you'd said this in a less childish way. The point about GPLv2/v3 conflicts demonstrating how unfree the GPL can be is good, but the post itself is downvotable.

So, BSD/MIT are the software license equivalent to allowing people to kill without repercussion? It seems your analogy is a wee bit overwrought.

To set up the interview, the recruiter sends your contact details to the company. Once that happens, as far as that company is concerned, the recruiter owns you.

And yet you have time to rant and steam here, which took more time than reading what a "ref", "object", and "head" is. Interesting priorities.

Also, maybe split "C, C++"? C is one of my favorite languages, C++ not so much. Not serious, but I think it would produce interesting results.

Why? Loctite Blue is meant to be disassembled and reassembled: http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/t_lkr_blue/overview/Loctite... Gyms clearly don't use loctite, but I think it's just because the prob

I love the idea of a two part nut that cams itself tight. If weight and corrosion isn't a problem, this could see some good applications. Maybe locating on spinning shafts in high heat, or in blind holes? Stage 8 and safety wire seem

Since the customers typically tighten loose holds themselves, I would guess that the maintenance cost is vanishingly small. It's definitely safer than a plain nut, agreed, but is it noticeably safer than any of the other thread locking

Nope! There's no way any climbing gym would rebuild its walls to be full of expensive proprietary nuts. If they cared, they could use loctite or lock washers. It seems there's very little money in fixing spun holds.

They're called jam nuts and they're a nightmare in production. These days I think they're only used where the application isn't critical, the labor is skilled and underpaid, and you're fresh out of lock washers and

Last I saw they were writing a VimL->Lua transcoder. I think they'll allow scripting in any language, but Lua will be the core language and have the best support. I donated to NeoVim few months ago and I'll donate again. Real

I made a quick video with the same conclusion: stay on 2012 and wait until a worthy upgrade comes along. (Well, unless you want PCIe SSD I/O bandwith -- that's much faster. But multicore is sooo much slower that it's not a

I can see the difference too. For whatever reason, text in Sublime with the same theme looks sharper than Vim (Yosemite). Maybe it's because it's not surrounded by ugly text rulers and inverse mode split bars, or maybe the text
