Quite. And if you'll excuse the pedantry, the KJV is patented, under a “letters patent” issued by The King. I point this out because these days the term patent almost always implies an invention. It's an interesting counterexample

That's an understandable plea. I guess the difficulty is Linux is really popular, but it's for hosting containers and cloud services etc. That doesn't lead to an improved Desktop.

That's a long time to hold a grudge. Mozilla Firefox was called Mozilla Firebird for 10 months, nineteen years ago. This was before version 1.0. I suspect it took as long as 10 months because Mozilla already felt bruised from already h

I'll point out that banning parties who would seek to destroy democracy is part of the German constitution. Article 21. There's no irony here. What is being mooted is something deliberately introduced in the immediate aftermath of

Yes, trademark proceedings take similarity and likelihood of confusion into account. I'm not sure Hashicorp have a trademark here, but the names are awfully close. Think of the pronunciation: I am sure in plenty of localations the word

The article says `lea` helps calculate the array relative address on AMD64. Why does the article say the problem would be tricky on 32-bit? `lea` is an old instruction. Thanks.

A walled garden is when users contribute the data for free, but the data is stuck. No free API access.

'[Old versions] will be open source' would, I think, also be a fair description. Right now it's source available proprietary freeware; in three and a half years it (specifically, the now-current version) will be open source.

True, but to avoid chaos you have a redirect for a while. Send a warning at first, then send an error.

You're vastly exaggerating the costs of changing domains (and setting up a redirect). I'm glad you mention TLS certificate, because those are an ongoing thing, not something you set up once leave unchanged for 40 years.

I can't speak for why SH4 was always unofficial, but from a vibes perspective today, RISC-V feels like an architecture on the up. That probably helps attract more developers, and ultimately it takes people to do the work.
