I would think if he was considering a proprietary license it would be phrased differently, e.g. "Why I no longer use an open source license for new projects." The anti-Tivo clause in GPLv3 is probably the only thing in available l

Fails to state why using a different license would have been any different in outcome.

Which has even less to do with communism though.

Uh… isn’t this exactly what the (typed) relational model is?

It is Biden’s policy platform to significantly raise capital gains tax (maybe even get rid of favorable long-term treatment altogether), and there has been talk of an unrealized gains wealth tax as well.

> If so, where and how? Serious answer: Mars. The outer space treaty prevents terrestrial nations from claiming sovereignty over mars, so mars itself would be in a position to set and collect its own taxes in an entirely new regime. And

There is nothing to explain, it is public knowledge. The transaction you mention happened after the public announcement of bitcoin on a mailing list which Hal Finney was active on, and after Satoshi reached out directly to Hal (and others).

That would leave the installer exposed though for the duration of installation. I typically did installs disconnected from the internet for that reason.

Hal Finney was not Satoshi, and there's not a single shred of evidence in that wiki article pointing towards him. Instead it's just his grieving family being traumatized by scammers.

They’re not willingly using vi. They just launched it and couldn’t figure out how to quit, and now they’re just kinda stuck.

What a bullshit reason. This is why we can’t have good things.

Circular filing bin. Not worth your time to respond to low effort stuff like this.

Others are mature enough to control their emotions and react appropriately to the situation in a way that is most likely to accomplish what they want.

A bit confusing, but I think he was drawing a PC/mobile distinction, and it probably would have been better to say "desktop" instead of PC.

> It's striking how the guy goes out of his way to not be angry at Apple. Very interesting psychology. Stockholm syndrome or just begging the king for forgiveness? What would getting angry accomplish?

Yeah the point with the Cray vector opcodes is that the SIMD instructions ARE the regular scalar/FPU instructions. The compiler doesn’t do anything to different when it vectorizes the loop. It is the CPU that does the vector optimizati

> To me, 'deep state' implies an illegal conspiracy against democracy. This is a very new, post-Trump/QAnon interpretation. The “deep state” has, for at least many decades prior, meant those aspects of government which per

That you can program in x86 SIMD in a high-level language and find it intuitive to use is remarkable. It was not designed for that and exposes primitives which make more sense for assembly-level and automatic compiler optimization. Cray, on

I’m horribly confused. x86 SIMD has the fixed width vectors, not RISC-V or Cray.

Almost zilch. These things should be phased out for health reasons. But climate change? A drop in the ocean.

Arguably the seven year war, American war of independence, and napoleon of wars are all one conflict. Just like ww1 and ww2 are the same conflict with a 20 year ceasefire to raise more cannon fodder.

You should have no obligation to reply to a cold email. Those go straight into the trash for me (or more often, to the spam filter for a permanent block). It's MY time that is being wasted.
