It's completely clear what you mean, so DB9 is fine. In most contexts calling it a DE9 will be more confusing. If you ever find yourself wanting to order the connectors or backshells, it might be useful to know it's actually DE-9.

DE15 and DA15 both exist and are pretty commonly used, I'm not aware of any other conflicts in normal versions. However, you can get weird Dsub connectors with things like COAX in there, so having the shell sizes have names can be usef

Copyright is not a god given right. It's an economic incentive created by government to make desired behavior (writing an publishing books) profitable.

For a library I see what you mean, maybe that's the main case you're thinking about. But for applications, if they are willing to invest the costs to rewrite the GPL option I don't see how your argument makes sense.

Can you clarify what happened last autumn? I'm not sure I recall.

I don't see why a company that refuses to add to a GPL project has a "decent change" of releasing their code under a more permissive license. If you're going to talk about theoretical behavior from big companies, you can

Note that OS X goes down for the same period. I believe Apple is calling it MacOS now. So that looks like it might be some change in how Apple computers are reporting their OS.

Awesome! If you live in New York and you are a car lover, you now spend much less time standing in traffic. If you want to drive by day, every day, it will cost you $3285. But this means less standing in traffic, and more driving. If you li

I think XWayland is basically an X server that supports Wayland. It is based on Xorg though. But if you really think it has a bunch of features nobody uses, you could try to delete those simplify that way. Or am I misunderstanding what you

They didn't actually get those damages. To quote wikipedia: > In addition, they awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages. [...] The judge reduced punitive damages to $480,000, three times the compensatory amount, for a total of

You might be interested in the compiler option -fsanitize=undefined. I think it works for gcc and clang. I don't think it catches all undefined behavior, but it catches some.

I had an account to follow two or three guys, and maybe 4-5 accounts that only post every few months. The timeline gets filled with all kinds of things. Besides the horrible clickbait ads, it puts in random posts from unsubscribed parties.

I love the way Hunter S. Thompson described it. I'll strip it a bit for brevity, but the whole book (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) is worth reading. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part o

Can you explain some of these reasons? I feel like there is an opportunity for me to learn something here. I don't know enough about filesystems to be sure, but I feel like there are more opportunities for stuff to fail with the move-a

I also don't understand why the backups are done the way they are. Why not just copy the current file to the backup, and not break hardlinks?

There's obviously a need, I didn't deny that. I'm not arguing for ipv6, I just want to learn. The uses that I found while searching weren't very convincing, I was hoping you could give an example.

You say ipv6 was supposed to get rid of NAT. Can you explain why it doesn't? You then say the problem was built into ipv6 from the start. From looking it up it looks like it's mostly required when IP's change (e.g. when you c

The license is an explicit statement about what someone can do with the code. If we have an explicit agreement that I can mess with you (maybe we like pranks), then pointing you in the opposite direction would not be malicious, it would jus

I wouldn't mind if rust had reproducible builds, and the binaries had to be built+signed by both the original author and crates.io. But how the article describes it seems sketchy
