Your proprietary software won't be a derivative work of most of G++, but it will likely be a derivative work of libgcc (compiler runtime), libc (on Linux), and libstdc++. Anyway, running copyrighted software without a valid license is

Source code is, for the GPL, the “preferred form for modification”. Given the outrageous cost of training from scratch, plus the ability to fine tune models... I don't think it's completely ridiculous. Edit: plus, the industry a

I was going to say: because Falcon 180GB is open source, so you can run it for any purpose, without worrying about license restrictions. However, it transpires Falcon 180B uses a proprietary license “based upon” the Apache license. Despite

Absolutely. Electrification is way (2x? 3x?) more efficient than producing and transporting clean hydrogen, or using an electric battery. Using batteries isn't a goal. It's something we do when there is no alternative.

I was slightly mistaken in that it's 42% [1], not 50%+. But that's still a derisory figure. The cruelty of the UK towards children is absolutely real. The two child limit, and associated rape clause, is punitive. If we look at UK

It's such a transparent lie. Most families in the UK with three children are in poverty. The UK punishes the child for existing, by denying it social security.

I'll admit, that's a fantastic third party effort. But there definitely isn't the same level of first party support as there is for zip files.

It's definitely short, but are you doing it for the side effects? Then I find .map() misleading. I'd much prefer a .forEach(), or a for...of.

But async/await is special syntax. I agree it's a nice improvement over using Task APIs directly.

That's clearly not a real policy. You can't trick a court with such obvious deception. In particular, moderators have bosses, and nobody can believe moderators can do what the hell they want without their manager having a say. >

Absolutely this. A series of commits dealing with different aspects (e.g. whitespace fix, minor related bug fix, necessary refactor, then the feature) is ideal. For a start, it's easy to review, and easier to disect if something breaks

I am glad that worked for you. The reason I flag it is: it may silently appear to work, but be heating up the cables without you realising it.

This is sensible advice. They are very convenient. However I will clarify that although you can get great speeds with a flat Ethernet cable (thanks to modern manufacturing?), you must not use these to carry power. I want to make this clear

That feels like an excuse. Windows compatibility mode is mature. The relevant APIs could easily return different values to buggy software.

Fair. But, at least later on, that wasn't universal. There's x.odd for development releases, and x.even for proper releases. GNOME and Linux used to do this. Also it feels like a lot of projects used to use 0.x numbers, even when

I'm afraid that's wishful thinking. JS compatibility is core to the TypeScript ethos, regardless of TypeScript's own popularity. Besides, enums (?) aside, and ignoring typechecking, compiling TS is really easy right now. Swit
