CC0 (with a zero, without the -BY part) is equivalent to public domain. I don't see how it would allow for the German popular sport of "Abmahnen" (threatening to sue). The reason it exists is that not all jurisdictions have a

This reminds me of 500px. I used to be a huge fan of 500px. It was the most beautiful photography site on the internet, designed with attention to every tiny detail. It allowed you to share your photos under a CC license, presented them bea

For Python: ipdb. In your code, you can just drop in "import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()" and the execution will stop there with an interactive prompt. Alternatively start the script through (i)pdb and set breakpoints. You can also use

Sure. I actually did duckduckgo it, that's not the problem. My point was that this website does not explain at all what the website is about. Instead, it contains some mumbling about "bringing digital creators, crypto natives, and

Yeah, but the way I understand it, a bitcoin transaction cannot be transferred to a new owner, while a NFT can be transferred. You're essentially paying for some unique random numbers that can change ownership.

I've heard the term "NFT" a lot in the past days. However, I still don't know what it stands for. It's a fancy website. But do you think the website would explain on their home page what "NFT" means, how i

That argument may be valid for Steam. But Google Play is a de-facto monopoly and the Apple App Store is a full (and enforced) monopoly. They can charge 30% because there is no viable alternative for the developers.

TLDR: Out of your firsts million dollars in yearly revenue that you make on Google Play, Google stoped billing you 300'000$ and now only bills you 150'000$. And they frame it in a way that suggests empowerment and goodwill. Seriou

With the state of unicode support in the legacy systems that make up of our e-mail infrastructure, I doubt any emoji domain will be ready for any actual use, where you rely on e-mails being actually delivered to you.

Setups for professional music production. This usually requires JACK ( https://jackaudio.org/ ) as audio server, which allows synchronizing and connecting multiple applications. For example, you can have Ardour ( https:/

by dbrgn 6y ago
Exactly. If you're working on a project in Ardour and want to quickly watch a video on YouTube, stopping Jack and starting PulseAudio was a bit of a pain the last time I did that. Yes, you can configure PulseAudio as a Jack client, but

The fact that PipeWire has the potential to replace both PulseAudio (for consumer audio) and Jack (for pro audio) with a unified solution is very exciting.

Taler supports full tracking of who received how much. That is sufficient for the government's job of taxing income. If - on the other hand - the government would also like to mass surveil all its citizens, then that is a use case that

Here are the core principles behind Taler: https://taler.net/en/principles.html Note: Taler is not a cryptocurrency. It's an electronic payment system.

by dbrgn 6y ago
As far as I understand it, this is meant as an open and standardized payment protocol that provides payment interoperability between different banks, but that protects the privacy of the sender (but not the recipient, due to tax reasons). I

I'm confused. Why should you need Go on the target system? Go generates a static binary, that runs anywhere as long as the architecture matches.

Yes, but on the other hand most proponents of zsh have installed ohmyzsh and a dozen plugins. (Just like a lot of long-time users have a long .bashrc.)

Yep, fake reviews by malware-ridden competitors was also one of my thoughts. But there's this motto "don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity". It could also be both of course.
