Sweeden has a Swish and I am pretty sure many countries have very similar free option. We just need a non-profit integrator to do it worldwide... Use credit card as a fallback if everything else fails.

Your license badge shows AGPL 1.0, but the license file GPL 3.0. I would suggest a commercial option in addition to GPL, otherwise it is going to have a very limited reach. Or possibly switch to LGPL (depending on your intentions), but this

I really appriciate the efforts of Eclipse foundation and others. The first version of CRA was devastating for open source. Thanks to their efforts, the adopted version has a lot of clauses for open source, it's survivable. Open-source

Just use private use area for your made-up-on-the-spot language. It's not a problem. Do you have a symbols that satisfy the unicode consortium criteria? Submit a proposal. Here is a good guide how to do is and be successfull: https:&#

Yes, they can. Is it a problem that they do? I don't think so. Using semantic symbols seems far better option. Most fonts simply map multiple codepoints to a single glyph while dealing with all fun stuff like ligatures and all fun from

As someone that whose native language isn't representable purely by ASCII, I celebrate it. Plus the first 128 codepoints are same as ASCII in UT-8. Is Unicode kind of messy? Sure, but that's just natural consequences of writing sy

> No inline PTX (inline GCN/RDNA/GEN is available) If I understand it correctly, that means the compute code is hardcoded into a specific assembly for gpu and to make it work with another card or newer one, you have recompile.

Yeah, these events will be fun once new product liability directive (that includes sw) comes into force.

Digital id card for every citizen? My id card can prove identity or sign a document and could for ~10 years. Estonia had it for over 20 years. Just give it to everyone. Today, it can likely be embedded in a cell phone instead of separate ph

It's just how much you are used to it/individual preferences. Same thing as with any other taste, e.g. spicy food. To me, sugar drinks feel displeasing. Aspartame doesn't taste like sugar, but it's sweet and that's

It's a nice program, but you need to pay to update every version of .net, which is every year. I used to purchase premium version (single user) and the upgrade option is $97.50 instead of $125 for new license.

I have a lot of love for CF. But when I talked to someone who actually knows about the stuff, the business plan of all fusion startups is basically to sell know-how/IP, once a state actor decides to go at it. That's a good plan, b

To be fair, that's budget for magnetic confinement fusion. US has always been more interested in inertial fusion (i.e. shoot it with lasers). Likely because of synergy with military application of lasers. The thing it, inertial confine

Their project life for solar and wind both seem to be 20 years to calculate LCOE. That seems to be correct for wind that needs major refitting, but solar seems to be more durable. Google suggests 10% loss after 20 years for solar. Therefore

Voyager is powered by RTG, with half life 87.7 years. It's going to run out of energy before that.

Why isn't it a "real answer". Any time our civilization had a shortage of something, we increased efficiency by offloading work to machines. Blood count tests used to be done by people actually counting cells. Now, it's
