But that has nothing to do with the new language that was added to the ToS, which states: > You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It als

I agree with you, but it seems that a lot of lawyers do not. Most of the other browsers have the same language in their ToS, as do many programs like Microsoft Office.

> If everyone does this, Mozilla won't be able to monetize your data and they will fight back for their survival. So the whole thing is kinda weird, because the new terms of use _do not_ give Mozilla any ability to monetize your dat

I disagree. The Rust code has an abstraction for DMA’d objects that gives them a safe interface.

I am not sure that I agree. Can you elaborate? Perhaps you mean that a story intended to play out over centuries might get bogged down every time someone tried to make himself king? I think the Count to the Eschaton series has an obvious co

Correct. Meanwhile in the “Count to the Eschaton” series, all the bad guys know enough of psychohistory to do a lot of damage. The future does not at all go according to the plan made by the good guys, and as time goes on a greater and grea

The whole point of open source is that people who rely on the software will contribute to it. The tech giants all definitely rely on Linux; without it their businesses would not exist. They hire engineers by the hundreds to ensure that Linu

They have. It’s called Linux.

Same here, except I use an HP48 emulator because TI sucks and HP rocks.

It’s because there was no iteration. There was only one attempt to actually use the discovery to influence society. There should have been at least one smart bad guy who used knowledge of psychohistory to search for conditions that would fa

It’s not actually burning the oil, just dumping it into the airstream in the form of tiny droplets. Some of that gets sucked up by the bleed air system, the rest continues on to the combustion chambers to be burned.

They’re readily available, but most households don't actually have one. Many more households have a coffee maker, which is essentially the same thing but specialized for dripping the boiling water through coffee grounds. Anyone else wh

If the cheaper 14guage wire was used in the walls then only the 15 amp socket is appropriate, otherwise you might plug in a 20amp device and melt the wires or burn down the house.

By that same token, there’s no reason for you to expect kernel developers to adopt a different way of working either. Their time is even more valuable than yours.

This is actually really impressive coverage of the launch system. The photos and videos of the maintenance and upgrades are extremely impressive considering that so many of them are made by a guy who just sits across the street all day.

Ok, let me get this straight. You diagnosed a problem in the Linux kernel. You debugged it and figured out how to fix it. You edited the kernel source code, recompiled it, and tested your fix. After all that, if you have to read a man page

No, the unbreakable law is Conway’s Law (not that Conway): “Organizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.”

I guess technically that’s true, but it cannot possibly take long to learn how to use `git format-patch`, and everyone should already know how to attach a file to an email. Even if you have to spend half an hour reading the entire output of
