Don't these usually come with ToS or something that has you agreeing that they can change the service any time?

I think the author is confused because he doesn't realize that hackers and muggles are fundamentally different. Hackers come into foss because they get fed up about how shitty proprietaryware is. Shitty because it gets in the way of th

People should just modify the GPL and add a clause that explicitly forbids training AI and similar things. Instead of hoping a court will follow the logic, just settle it for good.

If you say "I made basic image editor" it doesn't sound as impressive, of course. Not surprising given how it opens with: >As I’m getting older I look back on all the things I’ve done as a creative developer, and I see so

I have the opposite opinion. Most often, I'm looking for documentation that gets to the point. Just give me a straight answer so I can minimize time I spend reading docs and maximize time I spend using the thing. Tutorials tend to be a

Actually it does. The repo maintainer is on the user's side, so they are doing MITM on the attack vector. This makes it harder to get your malicious code in, because MITM might intercept it. Yes now you have to trust the maintainer but

Trusting Trust is not about this at all. It's about the compiler being compromised, and making it impossible to catch malicious code by inspecting the source code. The problem here is that people don't even bother to check the sou

Instead of bloating the base language for this, a trusted entity could simply fork those libraries, vet them, and repackage into some "blessed lib" that people like you can use in peace. In fact, the level of trust needed to devel

Overall, NASA doesn't strike me as a place full of people leeching off government salaries with no benefit. They create valuable stuff. But the article mentions things like committing to suboptimal projects just so some senior workers

I doubt this was a ploy to poach those people. SpaceX surely could have hired them anyway. And who's to say they won't go work for some other company. However if this hurts NASA, it gives SpaceX an advantage.
