Way further back! This article starts 190 000 years back. Our species, Homo Sapien, goes back anywhere from then, up to 300 000 years ago. The genus Homo around two million years. I think it's a very interesting question, what does hum

Thanks for the explanation. It's silly that vendors don't have a tool for this (or maybe one vendor does, but doesn't advertise it well). I don't personally don't use tapes, but it's good of you to share this s

Interesting. The readme says every new LTO-9 tape needs initialized before it is used for the first time, and that takes anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours. I presume this tool can't decrease that time for an individual tape, but

Prude may be an unfair complaint. Being okay with the existence of pornography doesn't mean you want to see it all the time.

You're overthinking this. If you link to the Wikipedia page, you have reasonable certainty the link will be valid for a decent length of time. If I distribute something now, the link doesn't have to be valid in 20 years time. What

Not where the law says such terms are unenforceable.

To be clear we are talking about releasing code which calls into an API. Agreed you can't redistribute somebody else's SDK without permission.
308.
by orra 3y ago
Absolutely untrue. It's legal to reimplement a third party API, as upheld by the highest courts in both the US and the EU. So of course you don't need to remove your lines of source code which call into an API.

Okay to be fair, your first paragraph was spot on! It's an interesting but not widely discussed exception. (I think the word "purpose" in said paragraph encapsulates why I strongly disagree with your conclusion on your secon

Sequential start-up is unnecessarily slow. Startup is ultimately a complex problem. There is no magic, just race conditions which maybe became more apparent. LVM may or may not be used, and takes time to start up. Do you wait for it? Ditto

This is a very interesting analogy, which I haven't seen before. Thanks.

Anybody use this? Either the cloud service or the open source command line file sync app? I've dabbled with the latter, but not much besides that.

I don't want to be overly dramatic. Your current license is decent. But the AGPLv3 is better: it fixes what is essentially a loophole in the GPL (the "ASP loophole", as described by the other user here). From your perspective

I wonder if they'll try to recreate something functionally similar to the RHEL SRPMs, but starting from CentOS Stream git.

I think that's a little too reductive—foo.txt wasn't a real app. Nonetheless, I agree with your broad point: that if somebody can use it under the GPL, they can redistribute it and then all those downstream users can use it under

Thanks for open sourcing this. However, you might prefer to use AGPLv3 over GPLv3, given the nature of this software.

This app looks promising. Seeing as you're using it, how's the update process? Does it auto update apps, or can you at least click one notification to upgrade everything? Because it's way too easy to install apps with winget

The examples start up promisingly fast. Faster than Uno, IMHO, and waaay faster than Qt (on WebAssembly I mean). Great to see competition in this space; I'm sure they'll all benefit in the long run.

It's funny timing. I think more democracy, or an ability to remove bad moderators has long been required. But Huffman saying it now is odd timing. Especially given the leaked memo which downplayed the impact of the blackout. Maybe ther

No, it confirmed reimplementing an API is not copyright infringement. The patent claims were rejected simply because the Google implementations were written in such a way the patents did not apply.

IMHO venvs are fine as an implementation detail, a building block for a slicker tool. The annoyance with venvs is you have to create and activate them. In contrast for cargo (or stack or dotnet or yarn or pipenv or poetry), you just run the

Not all configure scripts are created equal: a lot of them only tell you about missing dependencies one at a time. I'm glad make, etc., works for yo. But for me, neither C, C++, nor Python are particularly enjoyable dependency wise.

Mmm, I don't agree with your analogy. Yes, you can model things at a higher level, but surely that is for efficiency, not because the model breaks down, in terms of accuracy. In contrast, there are phenomenon which we know standard par

Yes, unfortunately there's the potential exception you see. The European interpretation of rights is that they're balanced against each other, as opposed to absolute. The good news is that “necessary in a democratic society” is a

I'm also pleased to see this, as somebody who likes functional programming and ML dialects. I don't need braces just because C has them. BuckleScript, when it was called that, was incredibly compelling for me. This was in part tha

The question is whether the API pricing is designed to lock out thirty party apps. The pricing being orders of magnitude greater than the revenue from advertisers makes this clear. You say we should ask whether pricing is aligned with the r

That's a completely unrelated question.
