That's a really interesting topic. I wish there was more... realistic discussion about those things. I remember 10 years ago, when the pirate party was hyping up, there were a few propositions of basically a tax based system: remove co

Disagreeing with you or your post is not disagreeing with the content of those links. Neither is critizising you transitive. Giving more context and explaining your points besides name-dropping would be helpful. I get the impression, that y

You can change it and run it as you wish on your hardware. There is no limitation on that. You are not required to run it on the host of someone else. If you borrow my linux notebook for an hour and I don't give you access to chaning t

If your boss terminates you, the lawsuit wouldn't be against the boss, but the company, wouldn't it? Is it common to sue individuals that act for private entities?

That doesn't seem required for the 4 freedoms listed. Could you elaborate which of those requires the providers to run your modifications on their system?

Was that the tool requesting to be cited if it was used anywhere near a publication? I wanted to use it but also wanted to respect the wishes of the author, so, as I disagreed with the note, had to use something else.

The most common windows version is probably miktex which comes with its own package manager which by default downloads packages on use, while texlive often is most easily used in the full scheme installing every package, but there exists a

You can have name collisions of functions with the same name, same namespace and same signature. But you can have nested namespaces, so namespaces are still the answer in c++. In languages where those are not available or where you are forc

Are you specifically talking about the math syntax within latex, or actual latex commands in general? Because I would disagree on the latter one. (But I'm a computer scientist not a mathematician.) uglyness is porbably hard to discuss

I wonder about that. I don't know word well enough at all to accomplish the same things I do in latex. But I know it can do a lot of those things. I assume it would be similar if I knew as much about word as I do about latex. But there

I feel similar about latex. I love how easily I can write math in it, how neat the result looks and how I can structure larger documents easily. But I hate the syntax, that seemingly simple tasks have arcane syntax or are hard to acomplish

Not all spam is illegal, neither do I think it should be. National isolation would therefore not solve the problem entirely (if even for the most part) nor is it usually a desireable solution. How do you find that community? Discoverability

If you use c++ (as the example in the article) you can just use explicit namespaces at least.

I was naively thinking they had that in their grant agreements. As a computer scientist I know that people end up on the paper that didn't write it. But I haven't had the case where people didn't know they were on it. Thanks

Isn't facebook (and reddit, and twitter) showing you posts by people companies etc. that you decided to follow? (And some ads)? I am pretty sure things can be worse than right now, pretending like we are in some kind of hell state at t

It's still possible to have personal judgement if a claim is true. I assume many people would aggree that preventing bots from spamming a forum is not a form of censorship, even though it might be "technically true" in a sens

If I get your last point correctly, it implies that state spy agencies should not be restricted by laws, because it will make them ignore those laws and undermine oversight. But oversight is worthless with that premise anyways, because ther

In general things like public transport ticket subsidies and work cars are not that rare here. But the employer also saves rent, utilities and maintenance when someone is working from home compared to that person requiring an office.

"Only" qualifies "need". "you only need to wear a seat belt on public roads" and "you should wear a seat belt on private roads" are not contradictions.
