I admit that Blue Oak’s goals are noble, but why oh why would you recommend a license that has not been vetted by say OSI? As far as I know, Blue Oak is not [1]. [1]: https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical Furthe

First of all, you and all other of my fellow FLOSS developers have my respect. We may disagree on major or minute aspects of software design and philosophy, but ultimately we are a force for good in this world. I also admit that there are

I have had NixOS as my daily driver for nearly three years now and maintain a small number of packages in Nixpkgs. From my perspective, macOS support is a headache as it all of the sudden may require you to debug on a proprietary OS that yo

In complete agreement, not only the title but the entire article is cluttered with click-bait/hype wording. Simply refer to the paper instead [1], which is well written and should be accessible to even those with a modest understanding

To be fair, the Switch changed the storage medium and Wii and Wii U disks are bigger than the console itself. That is not to say that Nintendo has not had multiple storage mediums compatible with the same consoles, for example: Gamecube min

Do you have a link to a bug report? I tried digging around a bit as I got curious how bugs like these would manifest, but could not find anything good to link. What I am aware of is that Java application can break without workarounds (saw i

Fair point, but are you really suggesting that it would be reasonable for his family to be on call for a potential two-week notice for over a decade? It seems to me to be a very clear power imbalance here between the parties, where one part

From what I can tell, this discussion is drifting beyond what I originally disagreed with in terms of what you wrote: That there is a strong correlation between the effectiveness of policing and what you consider to be desirable properties

Maybe we are talking past each other, but I am not so sure you “see” the causation the way it probably is (I am reluctant to call myself an authority even after nearly a decade living in Japan, so take my perspectives with a grain of salt).

I am not an expert on the subject, but I do not think that the explanation for most of what you see in Japan is explained by “good policing”. There was an excellent article on policing in Japan a few years back that I sadly can not remember

Yes, but you say that as if it was a universally bad thing. OpenBSD is largely made by its developers, for its developers. It has its own unique culture and does not seek mass appeal. To many – such as myself – this is refreshing, in partic

Firstly, I feel I got a bit swamped with replies to my initial comment. So I will try to address it all here. I used to carry a small camera at all times in my bag, yes. Mostly a Canon G11 and at times an Olympus XA. But this was a long tim

“Drömminge” is most likely a reference to a place outside of Värnamo in Småland [1]. As a native speaker (although not a linguist), my guess is that the name is derived from “Dröm” (dream), conjugated into “Drömma” (to dream), and then into

It is a short paper from a leading conference in the field of Natural Language Processing. I have not engaged with the work, so I can not speak about its quality. But at least get your facts straight and avoid appealing to authority. All jo

I think your portability point is a fair one and also what motivated 35mm photography about a hundred years ago. But I think the DSLR vs phone comparison is flawed. There are plenty of wonderful point-and-shoot cameras that easily fit in yo

I am deeply grateful for your work and that of Abbott. The Libre has been life changing for me, possibly ever more so than getting a pump as it gave me a much clearer picture how my body reacts to different foods, exercise, lack of sleep, e

You are both right. Leica brought compactness as early as the 1910s with 35mm film, but struggled with “long” lenses due to the natural limitation that comes with rangefinders. Then Nikon came along in the 1950s and brought us compact throu

I think you are correct. What probably happened is that I read the license wrongly when it started talking about “sales” (FSF apparently has a note related to this “oddity” [1]). Having a second look at it, I now think it looks a lot like t

Indeed, it sadly looks like it comes with some custom non-commercial license though [1], rather than something more standard like the SIL Open Font License [2]. Feels like an odd choice for a non-profit entity, but non-commercial clauses te

While I greatly dislike the nationalistic undertones in your comment, you are – unlike what some responses claim – not wrong in that the video cameras for the Apollo 11 mission [1] were indeed American and made by Westinghouse [2] and len

Not so sure about the pump sites. My experience is that the reason for changing pump sites is not just about your insulin cartridge running low, but also about tissue damage at the pump site. Based my own two years of pump usage, changing e

Goodness me, thank you for pointing this out. The songs are back as of 6.8 and I thought they finally kicked the bucket after 6.2. Below is a link for the 6.9 release song, it is – as you say – really nice: https://www.openbsd.or
