I never looked into Homebrew as I know that its mainly for MacOS. Since you are sort of making the connection for Homebrew to work without fuss on Linux and Windows as well, if implemented in Rust, I am asking myself what it would offer tha

"Low-level" is, like all areas of computer sciences, pretty huge and diverse so your experience will depend on what machine you are programming for. FPGAs are fun, because you can design logic circuits and hardware, but with some

So there is a distinction between running a ElasticSearch engine with custom changes in your backend and offering a ElasticSearch engine with custom changes to others as a backend? For a non-lawyer that seems very sketchy... I could underst

I am currently struggling a bit to understand this, so please correct me if I am wrong. So if I understand this right: Elasticsearch was under the Apache 2.0 license, which, contrary to FOSS-licensed (GPL and co.), allows derivatives to be

This smells a bit like PowerShell. PowerShell streams Objects instead of characters/bytes. But that is more compatible with cmd than sh. Many other points are more about the terminal emulator. terminiology has some of those features AF

AFAIK most open sourcing of 'games' state that they open sourced only the engine and not the complete game. And maybe provide a guide that shows you how to copy the original assets into a game compiled by yourself. I just think th

No. A 'game' can be played, and without any assets it cannot be played. It is just a 'engine'.

They also own their code. Releasing it as open source did not change that. They don't actually state that you have to own the original game on their website.
