I remember Pelles C being the first full C11 implementation, which I felt was impressive for such an unpopular toolchain. I guess they can't switch to a FOSS licence because of the licence of LCC? How much of the original code even r

The v0.1 release from yesterday, at the time of posting, was 278 KB. The latest release, v0.3 from 9 hours ago, adds -Os -s and UPX to compress down to 27 KB.

Of course. I was strictly refering to .NET preinstalled in Windows as per the comment I replied to, which I believe only applies to Framework 4.8. Although, on re-read, maybe they meant there's a good chance another application alrea

Your last two links are fake. And you can check on your own Wikipedia link that for Spain's direction signs, only proper nouns are capitalized: full uppercase on conventional roads for historical reasons, otherwise the usual capitaliza

Yes, they've modified the licence to require preserving their branding. I guess it's an anti-fork measure, you'd have to infringe either on their licence or on their trademark. https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

Thanks for the details! I was speaking from memory, but I see the last merge was quite a while ago. That somewhat increases my trust on the project then, although I'm not sure I'd ever trust a minor browser fork without further se

Goanna has been rebased over Gecko several times because they keep falling behind, hasn't it? So it's more of a periodically-hard fork.

The whole point of Turing's paper was to show that the Test doesn't answer whether a computer thinks, because it's a meaningless metric, but instead shows what the computer can do , which is much more meaningful.

A security guard at my workplace actually told me they had "received a call" about power being out in Romania as well. I'm not sure how that one rumour spread.

Verlet integration became the go-to method for particle effects and soft surfaces back when people wrote their own game engines, mostly thanks to the paper documenting its implementation for the first Hitman game [1]. In fact, I'd say

To remove the original copyright notice, they'd need a copyright assignment (possibly implicit, as when the work is made for hire). They've already got a licence and they've infringed it by doing this.

Following GPU industry standards, this should be called a General Purpose Music Tracker. I wonder if this UI would work well for logic programming instead of stack-based.

Some people just hoped that picking a corporate-unfriendly license would be enough of a deterrent by itself, because most folks can't actually afford to sue. But infringers, big and small, are increasingly realising that these licenses

Except MS did it anyway: the author cooperated and MS still forked and removed the original copyright notice. Since this isn't the first time MS does this to a FOSS maintainer, it's clear this tactic doesn't help us.

No, but Luau (which is more of a fork) from the Roblox studio is seeing growing adoption. Notably, it was used for Alan Wake 2.

The argument is that they're called triples even when they've got more or less components than 3. They should have simply been called target tuples or target monikers.

Really? In my experience, Le Chat eventually devolves into spanglish when trying to speak Spanish, so I would have expected worse from Mistral for minority languages.
