Why meet your legal obligations if you have a chance of deleting the obligations instead? Absolute chancers.

Perhaps the biggest issue isn't public acceptance, but simply we stuck at building fission plants, even when we intend to. I was pro nuclear power sixteen years sixteen years ago (these days I'm more ambivalent). In that time the

But even old .NET code needs touched. Every month, transitive dependencies need upgraded for security fixes. And that's when you realise SDK style projects are much nicer than the old project files. The tooling has massively improved

True, for a corporation it's not that long. But as a developer it's nice for there to be momentum for platform updates. I discovered last week that .NET Framework v3.5 is still technically supported. Shudder.

Not an LTS, but a tempting upgrade what with the performance fixes. EF 9 has some good fixes, and even better, the better, works on .NET 8.

Thanks, although connect2id doesn't look open source.

Thanks, I agree that's an interesting tidbit. But in the context of the article—a fake manual transmission for consumer EV cars—it's definitely a skeuomorphism!

Precisely. Electric cars almost universally have one fixed gear, with the engine smoothly providing variable torque.

If you like interesting words, this is skeuomorphism: incorporating features from older designs, where those features are now completely unnecessary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeuomorph

Angular is really popular for corporate apps, in companies who use .NET. Possibly because Angular has batteries included.

Sorry, full fidelity was lax terminology. What I really meant using a modern lossy codec (e.g. AV1 or H.265) at a high bitrate, so there is no perceptible loss. I was under the impression 50Mbps was very good, even for 10-bit HDR 4K.

I know video streamers cheap out on bandwidth, but 180Mbps is about four times larger than a full fidelity 4k encoding, no? Also, if anybody else was pushing this bandwidth on Azure it'd bankrupt them. I presume Microsoft are giving th

cua-mode, yes, but the point is it's not the default. Similarly, recentf-mode exists but is not the default. Or has that changed?

Well, no, it's primarily about regional travel, so it clearly helps folks near to smaller stations. Plus: your point, caller? Investing in roads only helps folks with cars. There are plenty of people for whom public transport is the on

Indeed. Plus it's rather late in the company lifespan for them to be handing out large swathes of equity. A weird decision for a company nominally controlled by a non-profit.

The Bank of England don't manufacture £1 notes, but the Royal Bank of Scotland still make them. Perhaps you can help popularise them, so they make even more!

Honestly, the only thing that surprises me is you're being pedantic, and encoding int64s as strings. I know you know JSON is nominally only 53-bit safe, because JS numbers are doubles. But in practice I'd wager most JSON libraries

I read the slides, and I found it refreshing that you said at the end: don't create per-language bindings for the libraries shipped with systemd, but simply use a JSON parser for your language. That underlined that you've specifie

This analogy came up recently when discussing Elasticsearch. It's flawed. Free and open source software does not, and has never, required giving up trademark rights. I think the GPLv3 is even explicit about this. In the Windows case it

IANASC but IMHO “efficient” grants power, in addition to the “adequate facilities at reasonable charges” you mentioned. Remember, Congress can ban you from growing weed in your own garden and for your own consumption, on the basis that indi

Not a technical comment (as cool as this is), but I love the name. We always say naming things is one of the hard parts of programming. They avoided the default option of something like tawk.

That's splitting hairs. It's trademark statute which make trademarks enforceable.

Thanks, I'd missed that. Anyway, congrats on doing open source again

The service is more than the code base: it's who is offering it, who supports it. Besides, I'd be shocked if that analogy is how the law works. Perhaps if you'd bought an individual license then sure, you could resell it with

I don't understand why they didn't treat Amazon's previous offering as a trademark infringement.

FYI, you're right about GNU (by and large), but mistaken about Linux.
