This isn't exactly news breaking news. Swedish SAAB, whose fighter jet (Gripen) doesn't claim to be stealth, started selling radar systems back in 2015 based on custom-manufactured Gallium Nitride (GaN) sensors that can detect &qu

Ah, I see. Perhaps not as bad as first thought, then!

France/Netherlands/Sweden/Germany is an interesting mix. (Edit: removed incorrect information.)

If you're in London and in any way interested in computing history, you owe it to yourself to visit Bletchley Park. It's a fantastic day visit from London. (About an hour away or so via the railway, as I remember it.) There's

I've been using Win 10 on my main desktop for the past four years or so. I almost feel embarassed for saying so. Microsoft definitely has a systemic "Software Quality Problem". It does get really embarassing at times. Or, at

Hacking around internal bureaucracy in a smart way is one thing, stealing IP for your next gig is something else.

These new "libraries" should be called something else. I do like your "community center" terminology.

Interesting. Source?

Always strive for excellence. For something as fundamental as this, it's a bit shameful that mainstream package managers are so unnecessarily slow. Let's say there are 30 million Linux users who are wasting an hour every year on s

Like the article notes, the Alpine Linux package manager (apk) is refreshingly fast. It's odd that Alpine lets you install e.g. "emacs-nox" on an IoT device connected via crappy LTE, on the other side of the world, faster tha

Something like this should have (at least) millimeter-precision. Way enough precision for clothing/footwear sizing. > But still... fabric measuring tapes are cheap and easy to use I disagree. People tend to come in very unique shape

Don't feel bad. I've learned a lesson; never enter an open source discussion with GPL developers.

by groundlogic 7y ago
It's super weird for a "developer" to demand assistance from another developer, just because they wrote and published the code, regardless of license.

You just replied to a hypothetical case, with a concrete case. This makes no sense.

I fully agree with you.

> Open sourcing something is deciding to share it. It isn't committing to support it or update it or help you make money with it. Exactly. This and nothing else. I really don't understand why this is so hard to understand.

Step 1. Person A makes some piece of software under an open source license. (GPL) Step 2. This piece of software becomes widely used, primarily since it's open source licensed Step 3. (Modern variation) Person A feels cheated for not

This makes so much sense. Genius move from Finland. (Swede here.)

Sure, by a presidential order.

Point of order: Does the US president have authority to "order" US companies to move out of China? (My instincts scream: no. At least not by tweeting...)

Sorry, I was being unclear. I guess in my mind innovations that have obvious mainstream applications aren't really full-blown successes until they have reached the mainstream. > They're not looking to put this into smartphones.

I think there are lots of clear consumer use cases for this. Like: a) Scan a friend's face/head and then use an app to replace the hairstyle with something different. b) Get a friend to scan your body (or scan your own feet) using

Jack Ma's and SCMP's neutrality is a bit up in the air at the moment, I feel. Last time I looked at that story it was just trying to sow doubt, without any evidence to the contrary. I'm sure you'd inform us in great deta

How about your Civil Aviation Administration making an official statement that it didn't ask Hogg for this list as a starter?

People loyal to the CCP.

by groundlogic 7y ago
You make some good points. I think Google would need to make an unacceptable faustian bargain with the CCP to gain access to the China market for e.g. cloud services. I guess the obvious risk is that the CCP begins with a small demand, and
