Software like Blackduck or Scanoss is designed to identify exactly that type of behaviour. It is used very often to scan closed source software and to check whether it contains snippets that are copied from open source with incompatible lic

With respect to auto-generating documentation, I was thinking about the possibility for annotation processors implementors to add javadoc comments or yet another annotation to their processor that JDK could use to dump a list of processors

"This policy of implicitly running annotation processors by default may have been reasonable when the feature was introduced in JDK 6 circa 2006, but from a current perspective, in the interest of making build output more robust agai

One of the killer features of terminal for me is that it's always clean and polished without fancy animations. You can possibly use transparency but that's more than a visual effect, it can actually be useful to let you see what&#

In principle I agree that SSPL is "bad", but I understand the reasons behind it. Plus, I don't like the way article 13 is described, the intent was to be sensational rather than an objective analysis. I think MongoDB and Elas

Can't talk for Linux, I am now using Eclipse on Mac. I used Eclipse on Linux about 8 years ago, and I remember running into frequent issues at that time: the problem was that I was using Ubuntu 16.04, but the SWT widget toolkit maintai

At first I thought this was a test tool for Web applications, but now I understand it's meant to be a better RPA. Would it be usable for test automation? Would API allow to create asserts?

Hi, I am an Eclipse Foundation committer, but I am not committing to the IDE itself. You don't have to sign the CLA (contributor license agreement) if you want to report a bug, but you have if you want to contribute code, even a small

I don't know if they are the secret to success, but I agree that non-code contributions are extremely important. For example, the Eclipse Foundation often reminds users that bug reports are valuable contributions [1]. [1] https:/

On the C64 some packers used screen memory to host the code. The first was The Screen Cruncher by 1001 Crew, a Dutch group. It's mentioned in this interview by its original author. https://web.archive.org/web/20040

Same for me. Also, on MacOs duplicity was consuming much more CPU than Borg and was causing my fan to spin loudly. Eventually I moved to timemachine, but I still consider Borg a very good option.

I was using it in the early 90's. At that time if you wanted to port your C/C++ application to multiple platforms, one option would be: - gcc on linux - djgpp on MSDos - emx+gcc on OS/2 [1] [1] https://en.wikipedi

The main problem for Italy is its public debt [1][2]. The debt is so big that Italy can barely pay interests to stay within the boundaries defined by EU. This means there is no remaining money to fund growth. [1] In Italian: https:/&

Sorry for the typo. The lawyer even insisted that the hyphen had to be clearly visible in the signature. I think that in those types of documents in Italy you are legally required to use a readable signature, because I bought/sold hous
