There is none, they're automatically public domain.

And you'd be wrong. It's not even difficult to understand why. Uncontrolled inflation is bad. Deflation is much, much worse. You do not want deflation. It rots your economy and nukes lend and spend. We trade a small amount of in

Ok, and a lot of -- maybe most -- people won't have their mailto handler set up correctly. I don't even know if I do on my current laptop and I have email old enough to vote Mailto links are not that common these days.

Oh god. Tell me you've never dealt with those in real life without telling me lol Usually the very best you can do IRL is "probably fine" or "maybe not fine" and that's just not good enough to justify blocking

Those aren't the only options, my dude.

Literally every package manager already does this.

Why is it baffling? It's like saying "why do we still have outages". Well, yes.

The flip side of that is now you're running old software and CVEs get published all the time. Threat actors actively scan the internet looking for software that's vulnerable to new CVEs.

Yup. As someone who's been on both the eng and security side, you cannot improve security by blocking the product bus. You're just going to get run over. Your job is to find ways of managing risk that work with the realities of so

Like requests and pytest and ruff and so on, yes. Rewriting the world to protect against a specific kind of threat is insane.

A lot of libraries are maintained by a single person.

by habinero 7mo ago
This is why Artifactory and similar exist and they do this better. You ~never want to vendor libraries.

Ok? So you don't code in that language? You still have multiple programming languages preinstalled on your OS, no matter which one it is.

> Smaller algorithms can be shared with gists and blog articles You just invented a worse Stack Overflow. Using libraries is good, actually.

> trusted input (game assets) Gamedev is its own weird thing, and isn't a model you want to generalize to other industries. It has to optimize for things a lot of software does not, and that skews development. Vendoring libraries is

Testing exists. > formal verification Outside of limited specific circumstances, formal verification gives you nothing that tests don't give you, and it makes development slow and iteration a chore. People know about it, and it&#x27

They have not. CDNs are specifically meant for demo/non-critical usage, to make it easy for amateurs to try out the library. You don't do this in any non-trivial system.

I cat sat once for a friend who had a plastic goblin. I spent the entire two weeks obsessively checking that I didn't leave any plastic out only to (occasionally) find the cat happily chewing on something that I didn't think they

Yeah, nobody would ever do work for free and make code available online for others to use. That's clearly never going to be a thing.

Legal advice is maybe the worst thing to get from an LLM.

Hacker mentality means doing something new and clever, not reinventing IFTTT and related clones.

Not only do you not need the blockchain for either of those things, you don't want it. Think it through. How do you actually "cryptographically hold" someone to anything? You take them to court. Guess what you can do, rig

Those aren't SaaS apps, that's (respectively) unlicensed practice, fraud, and a new hobby.

by habinero 7mo ago
A lot of SaaS services have open source solutions that are the same, on par or better and yet people still pay for SaaS. If they're not doing it now, why would they do it when they have to build it, too?

This fundamentally misunderstands a couple of things. DIY software is "free" like a free yacht is free. It initially looks appealing but there's a lot of expensive hidden costs and upkeep and pitfalls and problems. For one, t

arxiv is an open-access journal that checks for spam. It is very much not "vetted" lol
