I generally distrust modern Greeks' knowledge about Ancient Greek. For example, beta has changed pronunciation, becoming something like English v instead of English b like it was originally, but most modern Greeks will vehemently deny

If this gets accepted into webkit, which is now nearly synonymous with "HTML", would it be a huge porting effort to get this working with Firefox, the only other HTML implementation I can think of? (I understand that other webkit

Who do you want to take your money? Someone wrote bash. There's no company behind it. It's mostly just Chet. How do you want to pay Chet? I'm not sure he even accepts donations. Looking through my bash history to see what I u

I don't understand this example. Duck Hunt has only a few sprites, maybe four or six. It's really easy to just scan the whole image and match those sprites, exactly pixel-by-pixel. This doesn't really need anything that could

If you're into this stuff, I really like this book on Galois theory: https://www.worldcat.org/title/classical-introduction-to-gal... The reason I like this book is that it is very computational, in the spirit of G

But there's a Berne convention that kind of unifies copyright around the world, right? It's not like something can be copyrighted in one country but not another.

I take exception to the portrayal of Mother Jones as "far left" or even of the existence of much of a far left in the US. This is a tactic of the overwhelmingly rightist attitude in the US to portray everything as "both sides

I doubt there will be a huge migration. I think it's already a small minority of users holding on to "old". I've seen people on social media asking, "why would anyone use the old and broken Reddit design?"

Well, you're placing the same level of confidence in your experiments as a physicist would, because 0.1% is really good experimental error. That's near certainty. And yet, you refuse to test your near certainty.

It's a simple test of your hypothesis. I say if you let go of this rock, it will fall to the ground. Let's test gravity. You say it won't. Not all rocks. And true, maybe not all rocks. Maybe a great gust of wind will blow at

To be clear, your actual experience is why you are so convinced that this exercise is pointless, because you're sure the cops will very helpfully tell you how to file a complaint should you ever need to, because you do not demonise t

I just want to change your mind. Personal experiences are the best way to do that. This is a very safe way to try to change your mind. Actually interact with the police. If you are right, then 99.9% of your interactions with the police shou

So, prove them wrong, go to your nearest station and do ask about this. See how non-institutional it is. You have a really good chance of getting a better result than this cherry-picked sequence of anecdotes, right?

It is not 0.1%, it's institutional. Try it yourself. Go to your nearest police station. Ask for the procedure about how to report a negative encounter you had with the police. They will not give you an answer. See if you get better res

Because you're misreading it. It doesn't say you have to relicense the code. It just says (A)GPL terms have to apply to both parts of the code. That's not relicensing. You don't need anyone's permission for weakly-l
