In Spain they illegalised links to infringing content (mostly movie/music downloads) by creating a "Commission of experts" which would rule on takedowns. The reason for this, of course, is that judges and courts were deeming

https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign is a series of Ansible scripts for setting up your own sovereign server. It requires a bit of TLC, and the move to Jessie is not without growing pains, but once you have it workin

It's kinda difficult to buy a stolen laptop without knowing it's stolen, unless it's at a reseller shop and it's been wiped. There has to be some willful blindness.

This was us. I had never owned a car, had let my license lapse. As a childless couple, my wife and I used public transport to visit friends, shopped by bike, use a car share service (zipcar here in Melbourne, Australia) to visit relatives o

Rich Hickey had about four lispy prototype languages before he set on the design on Clojure, it didn't spawn fully formed from his head. I think that's a sobering thought.

This circumvention of surveillance could work for current processors that assume they can trust the SPI chip. But it would be easy for Intel to package the SPI chip together with the CPU in future offerings, circumventing the circumvention.

Congratulations! Also thanks for the way you managed the project. Ansible was the first big, well known Open Source project that I contributed to, and it was in great part due to the effort you put in welcoming everybody in the IRC channel

I have a friend who writes a lot of C++ code for signal processing, software sound synthesis mainly. Watching Jon Blow's videos I could tell this was something my friend would be interested in, because the problem space is very similar

And the Oracle legal shenanigans seems like a good argument for Clojure on the CLR. I don't know how mature the CLR ecosystem is on Linux, but the licensing at least seems ok.

I'm working on a data validation pipeline, and I recently noticed that the rules in my jury-rigged rule engine already look a bit like lisp, and briefly considered embedding a tiny scheme. That consideration lasted about a coffeetime.

I think they already know the whole deal is ludicrous, they're joking too, and they are gently trolling you. Or so I hope, for the sake of my faith in humanity.

Or you exceed 1000 hours, but at the cost of working more than 40 hour weeks, or more than 8 hour days. So yeah, 85 dollars an hour as a freelancer is the equivalent of 85k dollars a year of a 9-to-5 employee with benefits.
