The commit history shows the GPLv2 was added as an option the same time they removed the PATENTS.txt file. React's former "BSD + PATENTS" licence had been criticised, being replaced with the MIT (Expat) licence. Similar motiv

If Tom Lehrer was resident in Germany, maybe it'd be required. But AFAICT there's nothing preventing a Public Domain declaration in the United States.

Windows is proprietary and until recently, not very scriptable. None of that is relevant. We're talking about desktop users having their session killed.

Good to know it's not required, but I'd certainly say it's a bad default. I can understand an app that is denied a malloc crashing. But an app which thinks it has successfully been allocated memory, being chosen at random to

by orra 4y ago
Quite. Can we not phase out overcommit? Windows doesn't do it. I think fork() tends to be implemented using COW memory. Would it help to deprecate fork+exec in favour of posix_spawn()?

It's a shock, yes, but worth knowing it's a common one. “They can't be dead: I just spoke to them” is a common response to death. Unfortunately, death can be rather sudden.

Thanks, I'm aware they relatively recently landed UI changes. However, for now I'm happy with FairEmail, which is likewise open source.

Microsoft don't write a browser engine. Apple lets theirs stagnate, and IIRC make a lot of money from the iOS default search engine.

Quite, although even “every human on earth votes” isn’t the most literal interpretation: the planet becoming sentient and itself voting would be. Of course, that’s an absurd interpretation.

I agree the annualizing the monthly figure would be handy, as an additional figure. Looking at annualized monthly figures, it was also apparent (say) six months ago, that the monthly annual figures would almost certainly continue to get wor

> course if the base cost goes up, and margin % stays the same you will have "record profits" Yes, we know this. But we disagree it is a good thing to maintain a constant percentage margin. Tesco’s (etc.) isn't innovating.

Yikes, that's appalling. VDSL is an evolution of ADSL. You can get speeds of 50-78 Mbps, depending on distance to cabinet, for under £30/month. Coverage isn't universal, but it sounds better than in Canada. It's also int

Whoops! I am quite out. More recently, that's doubled to 0.5 TB/month[1]. Still, the point I should have made is: is using twice or thrice the (presumably) median unreasonable? Not necessarily. Of course, deprioritisation after a

Using PPI is probably more honest than CPI. But the other problem remains, that a 'typical' measure doesn't reflect each individual business.
567.
by orra 4y ago
I’ll rephrase what the other user said: businesses are not typical consumers. And CPI measures typical consumer price inflation. Hence, it's disingenuous for businesses to put up prices by CPI. In fact, businesses putting up prices is

“Just crashing” is a premise; it hasn't been proven. These are buffer and stack overflows, so I feel some skepticism is warranted.

Thank you. I'd forgotten that, and it's very relevant.
