There are plenty of dysfunctional/autocratic/kleptocratic governments based on constitutions that are somewhat democratic in nature. The US is just a high profile example of government structure slowly sliding into one of these fa

This can be a very real loss. Third party contributions are driven by specific needs. When the license changes too much, those third parties can either pay for a fork (with money/time investment) and improve their own modifications or

Yes, the US gives all the rights you list to its citizens. But with representation wffectively degenerated into a two-party system by the quirks of the eletion systems, any independent candidates must gather massive support to have a chance

What platform was this on? There are really big download buttons in the playlist and album headers on the phone. They are hard to miss.

I tend to agree with you. But things that seem obvious to us techies may not be that obvious to laymen. Also, legal interpetations of a situation may be abstracted a lot from the underlying facts. So if this goes to court, the likelihood of

I think the common root here is the Latin word "fenestra". There is also the French word "fenêtre".

There is a provision in the act that gatekeepers can still restrict access if it that required to maintain the platform's security. If Apple will continue blocking on device compilation and other app functionality, they may well have t

Well, every fork can get legally "interesting", depending on the circumstances. I don't see many additional complications here, but IANAL.

Two counter arguments: The package registry entry isn't the package. At no time is the original creator deprived of their rights to their package. Any fork will have to respect whatever license the original creator assigned. Open sourc

No, there are issues in practice. I have seen many published libraries getting neglected by their creators. Unless the community is actively channeled in this case, the result is a set of lackluster forks by people who only make some random

Slightly tangential, controversial thought: any source based package manager that doesn't enforce a legal right for the registry to forcefully take over maintainance of published packages from their creators is doomed to have awful pro

But that is exactly what GP is criticizing: just looking at the $$$. All of us here know that the environmental impact of electric energy generation is externalized and global. If we were to price that in fairly, the labor might well be che

One thing that is not captured accurately in a simple price over parts count computation is the fact that parts complexity is wildly different between shapes. There's a huge difference between a 1x1 plate and a Technic baseplate with h

by gmueckl 3y ago
I'd say yes and no. I find very few parts that are custom shapes for a single set these days. Most part shapes are very generic, but there is an absolutely wild variety of them now. There is an enormous number of SNOT, tile and slope p

I started to joke that in order to have a successful software startup, you need to essentially write the most godawful program code you can get away with. The money is much better spent on a good/aggressive sales strategy. Elegant tech

I'm sorry that the link seems to have expired. It would show that the trademark is held by Software Freedom Conservatory Inc. I invite you to repeat my search. Unfortunately, the USPTO trademark database search interface is not bery in

git is a trademark. Here's the USPTO trademark registration info: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85961336

Then they shouldn't have been riding the git hype wave and using/stealing that trademark.

Nothing except their own arrogance. See svnhub.com. It was registered by github to block potential competition long before SVN support on github became available.

Plsstic's diff tool is also centered around syntactic units of the programming language rather than stupidly scanning for line breaks, if it recognizes the language.

Calling Vulkan a failed design is selling it short. There are parts like image layout tracking that should never have been exposed; tracking that at the application level does not offer any additional gains. Exposing explicit synchronizatio

You'd be the one controlling the off-switch and the physical storage devices for the data. I'd think that this fact takes most of the potential creep out. What am I not seeing here?

This seems very similar to how the cinematic platformer Another World (1991, also known as Out of This World) was doing its elaborate full screen animation sequences, although the animations were rotoscoped rather than generated by an autom

You might argue for forking off from glsl and SPIR-V for complex compute workloads, but lightweight, fast compilers for a simple language like glsl do solve issues for graphics. Some graphics use cases don't get around shipping a shade

I can't find any mention of the compilers, compiler settings or whether any prebuilt binaries were used. That makes it even harder to distinguish between compiler and runtime performance impacts.

The hosted Bitbucket and Bitbucket Server (formerly called Stash) only share the name. They are completely different implementations and Bitbucket Server never supported Mercurial.

Not true. I looked at the complete list of hosted projects on Bitbucket just when it was shut down and I recall that at least 10% of all repos ever created on Bitbucket were hg repos.
