   See my comment above. I have spent many hours in negotiations with Oracle. I might be anthropomorphizing the organisation, but I always had a strong sense that all it's many, many ethical failings were directly inherited from Ellison.

   I cannot think of a living, non-incarcerated business person that would be able to contribute less to the betterment of Musk.

   Not really. OP needs to build executables. It is documented here: https://blog.djhaskin.com/blog/release-common-lisp-on-your-f...

   Look at the hoops OP had to jump through to get SBCL working on Windows. I think Graal would compared favourably with that.

   For anyone hoping that meant it would be open source, that is not the case.

   Awful title, but the video is actually quite good. It explores how Feynman - at least in the popular imagination - is more famous for being Feynman than for his actually contributions to physics.

    Please notice the license. Not really an alternative for commercial use unless you want to pay, and even the look out for PyQT being GPL. Looks great for open source though.

    My hot take is that Rust should have been a Lisp. Then it could also have had readable macros.

    There is an agreement that the price can be offered, that is plenty. As long as the product is in the market there is competition, even if it is not actively being sold, and nothing prevents the seller of finale from changing their mind, as

    Well, finale is advertising the price as an offer to their customers, it is hard to see how they could do that without an agreement. How else could they make the offer? Price discussions between competitors is an absolute no-go under EU law

    I am absolutely not saying that it is clear something is illegal here, but there kind of is a resale, the product being sold is an upgrade from finale to dorico, which can only be sold if finale confirms the existance of a finale license. A

    Have they given any reason for not paying or disputed the invoice in any way? Which jurisdiction applies to the agreement? Many jurisdictions have fastlane procedures for collecting on undisputed claims that you might be able to use.

    It is a perfectly working incentive. Less available trash just means that the price of the "collect thrash" option is converging.

    I am curious which requirements you think this applies to?

    There are absolutely no requirements in Danish law neither current or pending that requires a system to be "online" or "hosted".
