My company bought me a Dell recently laptop. Some XPS with Linux on it. It took over a month to be shipped, then arrived with the touchpad broken: it failed a BIOS self-diagnostic check, I'm not sure how they ever shipped something lik

Your link is about projects that mix licenses between files. This is just taking the full project wholesale and relicensing the whole thing under GPL.

There is nothing unclear about it: they took a permissively licensed piece of code (MIT), then relicensed it under a copyleft license (GPL). (Then possibly/presumably made changes to that GPL codebase.) The MIT license gives you a righ

The new license is really silly: it grants a variety of entities (open source projects, non-profits, for-profits with <US$1m revenue) an Apache 2.0 license to the code. All it takes is for one of those entities to clone the code on Githu

They're different failure modes. It's unlikely the GPS constellation will go dark anytime soon. It's much more likely you're in an area without good view of the (few) GPS satellites required for a fix; or that there is G

Not sure if you meant "million hours" as hyperbole; but that'd be about 114 years of non-stop conversation. If there's ~2000 episodes of his podcast and he's talked in a bunch of other place too, it's probably

There has been an erosion and change in the nature of the employee-employer relationship. Back in the day that the author initially started working, the nature of the relationship was probably much more balanced: the employee got a decent w

There are so many keyboard layouts for different countries and variations thereof. I very much doubt it's hand-positioned. The layout is not that hard, you can use a fairly straighforward linear constraint solver to lay it out on vario

Jupyter runs a "kernel" as a child process that actually runs the code in your notebooks. The python version that runs Jupyter can be/is different from the kernel python version.

It seems the K-pop industry has come up with a somewhat repeatable machine for churning out these bands: they manage everything from scouting young talent and training them, writing the songs, merch, events, etc?

The regular language should include the fact that you might include a dash between those sets of numbers, e.g. "A1B-2C3". I really can't think of any case where changing a "0" to an "O" is a good idea (or

I'm not sure of the implications on employment, but I imagine it has implications on ability to get credit (e.g. for morgage) which can be meaningful in the US (and other places of course).

Not sure if I'd trade $250k for bankruptcy with the earning potential of a decent software engineer in the US labor market? It's so-so though.

The way it mangles faces is actually super creepy. These shots from an exit-less, claustrophobic NYC subway with mangled faceless things is the stuff of nightmares: https://lexica.art/?q=new+york+subway

In NYC you generally have to move your car twice a week due to street cleaning. No way you could park for weeks without issue.
