True; they are free to do as they see fit. But how about not leeching on the word “open” in that case? DeepMind is essentially the NSA (or Apple), OpenAI is paid-for cloud services with paper-based marketing, and FAIR may be the best of the

I use a plain text ledger, ledger [1], and a Makefile for all the accounting needs of my LLC. Then I export to CSV whenever my accountant needs to get involved. It has worked great so far, even with a heap of currency conversions involved.

Yes, legally it is perfectly clear. Just not the why . Is there any other language that has taken a similar approach? Has this been discussed in relation to Hare somewhere apart from the brief chunk of text that I linked? I am perfectly

Thank you for the sanity check. It is difficult for me to articulate really, but I guess I (perhaps in error?) have deferred battles over say proprietary drivers away from programming language licensing (just so that there is no confusion h

Happy to see “secretlang” out in the open! I have been following development from afar and really like the idea of a “simple” take on a language, but with a lot of wisdom and affordances added since the state of the world back in 1972. In s

I have heard this line a fair few times as well (not taking a stance in terms of whether it is factually true or not) and it is in my experience fairly common among supporters of authoritarian systems. Given that the leadership is largely (

Absolutely not, get your facts straight: “Though [Railroad Tycoon] shares the "Tycoon" suffix, it is not related to other Microprose games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, which were developed by Scottish program

Frankly, if you do not have it in you to read through a paper you are co-authoring, maybe you should not be a co-author or maybe you should not author massive overview papers? Did someone hold a gun to their head forcing them to author a

To be frank, it does not really matter if it is pure malevolence or not. I am to be honest a bit more stringent than many of my colleagues, but even if I do not hold everyone to my standards I expect my fellow scientists to have high enough

I am a senior researcher in the same area. From the perspective of ethics enforcement on an institutional, state, or field level, it does not matter which author it was that committed the act. As a co-author you “sign off” on the paper as a

I think someone deserves to have a stern talking to by GitHub or maybe even a temporary or permanent ban. Wasting other people’s time like this intentionally really is using your account for something indistinguishable from spam.

To be clear, if I recall correctly the spyware was in the package of (usually rubbish) software that came with the drivers for Windows (and maybe also macOS?). The Linux drivers are upstreamed in the official source tree and there is no way

Firstly, as I hope was clear from what I wrote previously and you are responding to, I am not defending the stupidity of the reMarkable cloud service and keep the WiFi off in the same way that I do with my Kindle. To me, fewer features and

To me, because the world is too complex to allow us to deal in absolutes – especially when dealing with corporations. Wacom deserves to have their name shamed when it comes to spying on their customers, but they equally well deserve prais

No disagreement here, but to me 1,000 employees is small when talking about a hardware company that as far as I know does a very large part of the manufacturing in-house. Also, I think you forgot to convert JPY to USD, at the time of writin

They are a tiny company as well, yet they have employed kernel developers since the early 00s when Linux was far far from what we see today when it comes to software for artists. Keep in mind also that Wacom is more than just about artists,

If you have a look at the background and affiliation of the authors, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why the country of study is Sweden without having to resort to mildly conspiratorial thinking. Not saying that there is n

Seconding fdm. I have about 1,000 lines of rules to process when I fetch via POP3 and it has decent debugging facilities as well. Not to mention, it is fast and comes with a friendly – but powerful – syntax.

Gee, I do not know? How about them perhaps prioritising the survival of the population and overall being somewhat “busy” in a state of national emergency? It seems perfectly logical to me that this would take precedence over the protection

Seconding that RNNoise works very well and ships with OBS. I do however not use it as I find it to be a bit too aggressive and close to a noise gate at times. But I fully recognise that falling back on an analogue expander is not something

> NES sound was pretty bad, honestly. “Pretty bad”, I will have to disagree greatly with you there. Yes, there is plenty of awful music composed for the NES sound chip, but the same goes for the SID, YM2612, etc. As with any instrument,

This whole conversation is winding down, but I just wanted to thank you for this comment as it brought me a new perspective on the matter. I have for at least a year had an uneasy feeling about Bentham’s utilitarianism, so your response ind

I agree with you, but this has nothing to do with the point I made. There was no claim as to any “true” nature of WW2 or British imperialism. What I stated was that a large chunk current Britons perceive themselves as having stood up to

For crying out loud… I thought that “Now, clearly this is intended to be offensive and not something that I genuinely believe …” (emphasis added) would be sufficient to avoid this. Likewise in another response where I am asked: “You don’t

Sadly, this kind of behaviour is on brand when it comes to the UK state. It is less than ten years since Section 5 [1] was reformed to remove the display of “insulting” words and writing in public as an offence (Rowan Atkinson made an excel
