Tangent, but...is that her real/natural voice? It's like studio-level female vocals for Hardstyle without even trying. I am mesmerized. Edit: it looks like she has a filter on. I'm an audio noob so I can't tell.

No? It was a legitimate question because there have been similar trends in other unis around the world, and I am not personally acquainted with Stanford things. I always held Stanford in high regard.

I am surprised that a university with the renown of Stanford would have a course specifically on "the fundamentals of how to build applications for iPhone and iPad using SwiftUI." Not even mobile UI/UX, or UI/UX principl

I don't know if you're just joking but this is the crux of the problem and what they are asking for has deep implications. If somebody can thoroughly define evil in a software license, please publish it for review so that we can l

Presumably they want to keep the project liberally licensed modulo the "no evil" part. A source-available license would probably be too restrictive for that purpose unless it is somehow made compatible with open/free licenses

If your project is a library, stamping a copyleft license on it will shun away corporations, AI training aside. Bad guys won't care either way. The "no evil" goal is commendable but impossible.

The GDPR is not a trojan horse. Rather, it did too little, too late. There are no negatives to it that I am aware of.

Yes, I see the same flaw in the argument. Retrospectively looking back and saying it was good because it didn't do any of the shit companies do today; but, really, it wasn't as bad as it could be because the technology just wasn&#

How is that an optional then? The problem is not nullopt, but that the client code can simply dereference the optional instead of being forced to pattern-match. And the next problem, like the other guy mentioned above, is that you cannot ma

GP picked the less useful of the two examples. The other one is a use-after-move, which static analysis won't catch beyond trivial cases where the relevant code is inside function scope. I also agree with them: I am pro-C++ too, but th
