I mean interchangeable as in fundamentally the same kind of thing (car that takes you from here to somewhere else), of course not that you can already hop into someone else's ride and expect it to work. What I'm suggesting is that

That's an interesting point. Ubers are generally interchangeable, so why shouldn't you be able to just hop into any of them in a situation like that? Leaving the implementation aside (a number of different ideas come to mind), all

It's interesting, but I don't think strange in the sense of being inexplicable. Hot is an obvious side effect of global warming. Cold may be counterintuitive, but "global" warming (as opposed to local warming) refers onl

I'll go further than this, and say that this is practically the only use case I would have for a movie theater. As-is, movies air in theaters for only a couple months, and then they're gone. Like, what the hell. Every time in rece

I don't use Facebook very often, but anecdotally I've gotten a decent number of solid ads for things I've ended up buying (mainly keto-friendly foods/snacks). I don't think I've ever bought something through a

Apparently my original reply to this was controversial. Let's try again. Please explain how it has nothing to do with me when I'm the one being asked to foot the bill. Let's say it costs a total $500 - $1000 worth of resource

I'm a developer who maintains repositories with master branches. It is exactly about me.

Makes sense. I'm not familiar with Fossil, but I know trunk was also the standard when I used SVN back in the day. I think the trunk-branch metaphor makes more sense in the centralized VCS model where there is actually something specia

I haven't read the article or the book in question, but this reminds me of the hullabaloo about git master branches. Never in my life have I associated git or its default branch name with American slavery. I would be shocked if a singl

I had a similar thought, but in the other direction. I would be very curious to see how controlled doses of cannabinoids / cannabis oils compare to common opioid prescriptions for severe chronic and acute pain. As far as terpenes speci

Makes sense. That's probably the best interpretation here. Any other decision would make attribution lists optional in general for all practical purposes.

Makes sense. Maybe something like git-lfs/git-annex would be sufficient to address the linking issue, but it seems like the bigger concern is whether a court would accept this as valid attribution. In a sense it reminds me of the LavaB

I'm not firmly for or against the concept of Copilot, but it's fascinating to me that it will introduce an entirely new class of bugs. Rather than specific mistakes in certain blocks of code and edge case errors in handling certai

by buu700 5y ago
Could they handle this by generating a collective attribution file that covers every (permissively licensed) repository that Copilot learned from? Of course this would be massive, so from a practical consideration the attribution file that

IANAL, but I wouldn't read that as granting GitHub the right to do anything like this. There's definitely a reasonable argument to be had here, but I think limiting the grant of rights to incidental copies should trump "[...]

This is a great point. If I recall correctly, prior to Microsoft's acquisition of Xamarin, Mono had to go out of its way to avoid accepting contributions from anyone who'd looked at the (public but non-FOSS) source code of .NET, f

This was exactly my experience as well when I recently went to some restaurants for the first time since pre-pandemic. GP's experience sounds great; an interactive mobile/responsive website that I can directly order from would be

I wouldn't be surprised if this nuance were lost in the hypothetical future cancel culture, but I think anyone giving careful consideration to present circumstances would realize the terrible choice we all have to make. It's easy

Makes sense. As I said, all else being equal I'd rather not have these. Presented with a situation like Kindle devices, in which the ad-supported item is cheaper, the choice is a little harder. Thinking more about the product, there&

Counterpoint: all else being equal, I'd rather not have these because I think they'd be annoying, so if one of my local grocery stores were to install them I would then give more of my business to the other (largely interchangeabl

I grew up in the US and was taught very well about my country's history in public school, as far as I'm aware. Are you implying that non-democratic governments are somehow more transparent?

I don't know if my (electric) stove is unusual in some way, but it goes to crazy high heat immediately. As in hotter than any gas stove I've used, to the point that a minute or two on the max setting will burn all the seasoning of

I hear this sentiment a lot, and of course respect your position, but I think it's a lot easier to say this when 90 and 150 both feel inconceivably far away. Personally, I'd be perfectly happy eating my bacon with low-carb bread f

I learned that lesson the hard way when I was a teenager. I'd semi-automated the generation of emails to parents about how their kids were doing at summer camp. It was basically just a script that asked various questions and pulled var

I didn't get the sense that GP was necessarily agreeing with those positions, more illustrating the high-level political hurdles (right or wrong) that legalization fundamentally faces. It's similar in my mind to self-driving cars.
