Good question. Best guess: Everybody else is firing 10% of staff, so fewer questions asked.

Interesting, but that sounds like speculation. Do you have any examples of regulatory requirements, as opposed to voluntarily-broken internal processes?

It sounds like it won't be open source. It'll be redistributable, but legally only usable on Raspberry Pis. Just like cyw43-driver.

Also, people should definitely upgrade their front door locks! A three star euro cylinder will snap, instead of letting the intruder in. While surely nothing offers complete security, it massively increases the effort required to break in (

Of course XML 1.1 was meant to be widely used. The design goals[1] for XML 1.1 are the same as for XML 1.0, including being "straightforwardly usable", "support[ing] a wide variety of applications", and being "easy

XML 1.0 was clearly a huge success. What I'm curious about is the seeming failure of XML 1.1. What happened there? Is it just like IPv6, in that there are too many non-upgradable legacy systems?

Nah, Ask Jeeves became ask.com. The website you found is a Google Custom Search, and it doesn't even tell us which company is running the website.

An 100x return on investment is hardly a cap, or a minimal gain. OpenAI are a traditional for profit company, milking PR like “open source”, and “non-profit”, without being either.

I agree with the sentiment. However, disposable income has a technical meaning. When the ONS publishes disposable income statistics, they mean income remaining after tax (I presume they subtract income tax and NI, but not council tax becaus

It's horrible, isn't it? You're forced to prepay for your energy, and instead of getting a discount, you get shafted.

Nice to have a connection! It looks like Marko v6 is going to perform incredibly fast, up there with vanilla javascript and solidjs, ahead of Vue, React, and Angular. https://dev.to/ryansolid/marko-compiling-fine-graine

P&O famously fired a lot of people in the UK, a year ago, and immediately replaced them with agency staff. This was widely considered to be fire and rehire, although the government position was that it was “just fire”. So companies are

Of course developers can be transitioned to do other types of development. Occam's Razor says: or the companies just want to rehire new people at lower pay.

Okay, but that's not a reason to jump to the conclusion of bad citation practices.

No, you misunderstand. You need to apply some common sense, not rigorous logic. “they/he” and “it/she” indicate alternatives, whereas “she/her” indicates different cases.

You keep saying “author”, but putting a screenshot of a Tumblr post on Twitter is stretching the word quite considerably. Besides, the Tumblr post is already a secondary source.
