Yes, this is M$ argument, but it's not backed by law. See [0]. "Publicly available" is not "in public domain". Many commercial songs are "publicly available" via a radio station. [0]: https://ww

Yes, people can read my open-sourced code and learn from it, like they can do with paints, movies, sculpts, and books. No, I don't allow to copy my code freely. Can you explain, what point you are trying to defend here?

A computer program cannot look at things in the same sense as a human can. Moreover, a computer program is not a "public", because, for example, your smartphone is not considered as a guest at a show. When you say that a computer

M$ should demonstrate, how fair use works, on their own code. If they are afraid that such "fair use" will lead to copyright infringement of their code, then they have no ground to stay that same use is fair for my code.

GPL'ed code is not public code. It has the license, which requires fair exchange: if you use my code, then I can use your code under the same license. M$ uses GPL'ed code, so now we have the right to use their code under the same

IMHO, you should use unofficial strict mode (set -ueEo pipefail; trap "Error at ..." ERR ) often, because it catches a lot of bugs. Sadly, strict mode doesn't work in subshell. Also, code without comments and documentation is

I made a mistake in the calculation (10^34 x 10^14 is 10^48, not 10^38), so it's 10^12 brighter. Nobody will survive on the lit surface of a planet.

1. 5 solar masses is 1x10^34 g. 1 g of mass is roughly 0.9x10^14 J (mc^2). So, roughly 1x10^48 J. 1 ly is roughly 1x10^16 m. Surface area of a sphere with r=1 ly, is 4πr^2 = 4π x 10^32 m^2 or roughly 1x10^33, so each m^2 of surface will re

Watching of a movie about agent 007 will not make you a super spy. To learn something, you need to watch a lecture, then receive a task, perform the task and provide a result, then receive feedback, and, finally, learn from the feedback.
