That's nice for the Australian Plant Society, but I assure you in the various parts of the US that I have lived in, native plants that people don't want in their sterile patches of grass are also definitely considered weeds. It&#x

It just looks busier without any benefit to me.

Why would a rust arena allocator be required to have objects all of the same type in it? No C arena allocator would have such a restriction.

Creating a small group of bot 'personalities' that have an internal dialog, generating and sharing intermediate values before coming to a consensus and issuing a response to a user is trivial. I did it in my earliest experiments w

`#pragma once` is to prevent a header from being reparsed repeatedly for the same translation unit when ten different headers all include a common one transitively. it replaces the prior pattern of including code predicated on a unique defi

No. Haskell made me decide that operators should not be definable by users. It is truly a miserable affair to read terse point free code riddled with operators from a half dozen libraries ( or one overly clever library ). Cleverness is a re

the idea of changing a decades old convention to instead use, as I assume you are implying, some character that requires special entry, is beyond silly.

this leaks the identity through the services. you can't normally get an email address or verify who someone on twitter or whatever is unless the user specifically chooses to share it. you could use this to query the email server, and t

this isn't just letting people use their twitter pic everywhere, it's allowing twitter (and whoever else) to query their email server for an image to represent the user. services shouldn't leak user email addresses or that th

Being free to share information is the natural state. The copyright is an artificial restriction introduced to allow authors to benefit from their works, and by proxy, the publishers to whom they sell those rights. Perpetual rent seeking is

Interesting. I haven't built on s3, and if I did my first instinct would probably have been to gate things through a website. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in that area.

sqlite has a fantastic codebase for understanding how databases work. there's a pretty comfortable parser generator in there as well (lemon), that I found nicer than bison when I was still messing around with them instead of just defau

This is explicitly for training, not for the distribution of copyrighted material. Courts aren't stupid.

This is little more than baseless fearmongering. "zip up copyrighted images using a nn" is trek level technobabble. that's not how NNs work. how the hell does it even connect to privacy? copyright isn't what makes it ill

It is my understanding that in collage works and the like, the artist has copyright over their creative inputs to the resulting piece, but does not gain any rights over the bits they cobbled the final together from. If I understand it corre

They established early copyright because publishers would just print copies of books and never pay the authors at all. The middlemen aren't going to do it voluntarily, and if they do, they'll be undercut by those that don't.
