That reminds me of a certain dataset (public transport timetables) managed for the Czech state by a private company (CHAPS). They have a duty to release the data for free, but instead they only release near-useless cut-down versions. If you

Hm, I don't know much about common law, but I don't think this would apply if, say, an ML enthusiast trained a model from LLaMA2 outputs, made it freely available, then someone else commercialised it. The later user never caused t

Thing is, the outputs of a computer program aren't copyrightable, so it doesn't matter if your improved model is a derivative work. What you say would apply if you derived something from the weights themselves (assuming they are c

In a similar vein, the common "you may not use this model's output to improve another model" clause is AFAIK unenforceable under copyright, so it's at best a contractual clause binding a particular user. Anyone using t

Maybe you'd like the third-party Memories add-on? By the way, how do you share files between Nextcloud and Photoprism? It's my biggest problem with NC, it's hard to share files with other apps.

Trusted networks are a flawed concept, unless you mean a software-backed tunnel. And I'm glad the slightly-less-mad TLS won over IPSEC with some certificate extension.

Plenty of people drive a car for short trips and those in rural areas will likely continue to do so. Also, consider company vehicles for workers transporting heavy equipment or delivery vehicles. All within the range of current EVs for a fu

"--" isn't anything special in a typical shell. It's just another argument, one that customarily means "pass the rest of arguments on to a subprocess". Or are you confused about the "#"? It doesn&#x27

I'll admit I don't know much about the specifics of Lemmy, so I assumed it has the same issues as Mastodon. There's still the issue of defederation? And notifications (new post/reply) are sent to the home instance of eve

I don't think full P2P or Lemmy-style federation is the right way to make a decentralised Reddit alternative. P2P systems aren't great for mobile devices that can't/shouldn't be full peers, not to mention moderation

Your guesses seem suspect to me. I'll take a small Python script with a loop over a spreadsheet any day.

Consistency in one database is important and "natural keys" can help, it's just a bad idea to apply them to messy nature. They're great for derived or linked data, though.

MSSQL licensing is just all kinds of nuts. As far as I know, the official stance is that anyone accessing data from the DB (not just the DB itself) needs a CAL. This means that with CAL licensing, every user of a web app needs one. I&#x27

Well, maybe they shouldn't. Those popular apps are likely to be better just by virtue of being better funded. But if there were apps from the major players for every usecase, all programmers would be working for Adobe-sized corporation

I suppose you don't, at least not as a user. But behind app availability, which is a concern for you, is this whole debate about cross-platform apps. It's likely that the only way you get to continue using your preferred platfor

When you need to have different options showing complex things as a wallpaper, it's best to factor them out as plugins, or at least separate implementations of some interface in their own files. When that happens, why not also use that

The fact that many popular Python packages rely on system-level native tools also doesn't help. "Solving Python packaging" isn't just about distributing portable Python source code, that's easy. It's also about

I think you've partly proven that nushell is useful. `ls -d` doesn't list directories, it lists only the files given as arguments instead of their children. Also, htop is nothing like a scriptable and composable pipeline from ps,

There's one area where Nim is better than most alternatives, especially those with a separate required runtime, and that is binary size. I write quick scripts and daemons with Nim, knowing that they won't take up space on my disk

Shapefiles are no more proper than KML, I'd even say KML is a better format, since it's a single file and doesn't have the archaic name limitations of SHP.

Good for you that you have the money to buy acres of woods (or an exclusive parcel bordering woodland) and a job that can support living in a remote place. For many people that would want that lifestyle it's simply unattainable, and we

With suburban sprawl, it's likely the only places within walking distance (i.e. "kid-reachable") are other houses, maybe a park. If managed well, a dense(r) city can have a forest or other semi-natural area nearby to everyone

That's true, but if e-waste recycling is regulated (by the government or a private entity) so that the recyclers can't pay more than scrap value, that would require a conspiracy of the recycler and a third party.

Where I live, e-waste recycling is very (over)regulated, so I can see a way out of this problem that doesn't take away from the unprofitability of stealing Apple devices. If Apple allows officially-registered e-waste recyclers (which c

It didn't like me clicking around in the dev tools trying to figure out how it works. I can't reproduce it now, so I suppose it was a freak bug.
