This argument seems to presuppose that a language is more perfect if it has fewer influences and contributions from other languages. But you didn’t actually state that assumption, and certainly didn’t support it. Maybe the most perfect lang

Maybe they meant to add the np-complete version, in which case, do you really need more than one?

It’s a feature (or bug)of US democracy that one of its primary values, its reason for existing, is to support individuals and their freedom. Individuals are the values.

I think I’ve had the same $23 in my wallet for four years. Can’t remember the last time I carried a coin around.

I guess as a company I would agree that it's fine to implement a useless control to get a customer. As a tax-payer...not so much. We spend so much money (at least in the U.S.) on garbage.

I bumped into controls mandating security scans, when people running the scans don't need to know anything about the results. One example prevented us from serving public data using Google Web Services because the front-end was still o

I understand how this feels. If this was me, that 'October 19, 2024' line would already be gnawing away at my psyche. 'I said I was going to write more, it's almost been a month…'. This is one of the reasons I took

Reading the article it doesn't sound like these are land use restrictions imposed by the town that they can simply change. Rather these are contract clauses in deeds or the practice of companies leasing the vacant space where another s

Maybe I misunderstood the piece, but it seems the last sentence, "Well the code is indeed correct" suggests it _did_ work (although I'm also a little confused about what it means when all values are '-' which I inte

I know the point of the piece is the python syntax here, but I got stuck on: "judge things like code quality / speed / conciseness etc." Do people generally write concise code on right off the bat when confronted with a

Aren't trademarks attached to specific goods and services? In other words the trademark protecting the yeasty food spread based does not prevent someone from using the word for something like a record label: https://www.marm

Not sure the first-person, movie-trailer-style, "I'm going to make a run for it" while dramatic music plays is really the right way to report this.

I am also a habitual walker, though I don't typically get eight miles in. I often listen to books and podcasts while walking and at times wonder if I'm doing myself a disservice by not just letting my mind wander. One the one hand

I guess it just depends on your point of view. I would have found a sentence lauding the railroads and the mechanized opening of the West to be pretty 'cringe' if they had not mentioned this.

Doesn’t the article touch on this: > On leaving the company, he acquired the intellectual property [IP] rights from his former employer…

Ooh, Now do photography … or abstract painting … or fine wine … or hedge fund. Any field where the judgement of quality is subjective is going to be full of hailed charlatans and unrecognized geniuses. It's one of the true ironies of a

People are busy. Not everyone is willing to spend their time diving into the latest ad block tricks. Some have decided that it's a better use of time to just avoid sites that use dark patterns and aggressively anti-user-friendly design

This seems like a cease and desist letter waiting to happen. Are you worried that using the name “Jeopardy” and styling it so closely to the actual game might bring Sony lawyers knocking on your door?

Exactly where do "exploitation rights" come from if not copyright? Anyone who is going to enter a contract for these "exploitation rights" is going to want exclusive rights so others can't just share, republish, c

I think this is a specious argument. The value in intellectual property is the right to copy it. You can make a similar argument for other property: you own your car, but the right to drive it was not created by you. You own your house, b

I'm curious about the argument that is framed with "it presumes the unnatural (even if useful/positive) present state of copyright as a naturally occurring thing." I don't think this should be discounted so quickly.

But it's not hectoring (and was not intended to be rude). Authors build things. Just like people who build companies, houses, inventions, etc. There are a lot of theories of how ownership happen, but many (at least in the US and Europe
