And funnily enough, most laws about compiled databases might not apply, for one. And then there's new updates related to AI that fully take out LLMs from protection.

No, some of it is disrupting funding and organizational structure, meaning that NHS regions in England and Wales became structurally less capable due to loss of pooled resources, which also increased coordination burden. And that's bef

GBP is a fiat currency issued by government through government spending and destroyed by government through taxation, it does not cost the taxpayer it's at worst a bad allocation of resources or incentivization of resource allocation.

Honestly, a lot of it is related to pretty obvious attempts at dismantling the NHS by Westminster

The basics are pretty distributed, further work involved increasing lifespan at high temperatures, but also some work towards switching at least some turbine stages from separated blades into "blisks" - entire turbine stage is one

Honestly, some of the worst aspects of SOAP were legacies of XML-RPC. Some of the remaining messy parts were often "yes, you can not implement that, but then if you ever need functionality X, Y, Z - you will be fucked without this comp

Yes, the released, as well as final RC for 2000, were still 32bit mode. There's a quote, possibly from Raymond Chen, about how they originally naively thought they will be able to just change size of an int, IIRC, and that backfired se

RFID keys vary from utterly dumb ID-based, to hackable challenge-response, to actual NFC smartcard (very rare). Some of that can be trivially cloned.

Compaq dropped the bombshell about canceling Alpha just before Win2k RTM, surprising both Microsoft team involved and Compaq-side team. Microsoft continued to use 2000 on Alpha to work out bugs in 64bit support since it was the only 64bit p

The reverse buyout story is popular, but totally ignores that a bunch of the decisions and policies were established under Condit who was "lifer" at Boeing, and in fact said policies were complained about by engineering from both

by p_l 3mo ago
And all of that was initiated by Condit, who was from Boeing side
134.
by p_l 3mo ago
Condit would probably still set in motion the moves that enabled the rot - moving HQ, unrealistic targets for 7X7 (now known as 787), selling off portions of Boeing to skim just the cream at the top, and so on. Not letting Boeing grab McDon

There is however the aspect of how much a work is derivative of another work, and that's where the ultimate mixing aspect of AI models shines - as it was documented that removing or adding a specific work in some cases impacted around

Depending how recent the card is, you might need to implement UEFI & GOP instead. Might be better approach to read any open source driver code on Linux or BSD to find out how to get basic framebuffer

Unfortunately from what I understood a production line that makes "normal" digital chips generally can't make memory cells with concrete physical differences in the process pipeline

An important point in copyright infringement is that it generally applies on distribution to other parties. So the process of acquiring inputs may or may not be an infringement, but with at least proposed EU rules it does not matter to cr

by p_l 4mo ago
EU AI Act is moving towards genAI output being non-copyrightable and that you'd need to actually prove derivative character from a specific copyrighted work(s) to claim infringement. AFAIK american law is going towards similar setup.

You can imagine many internal APIs as taking "look up this <name> from directory <handle>". Surprisingly often the only practical limit is that the name does not contain NULL bytes. Path separators, whether to accept d

Filesystems usually do not see path separators at all, it's something handled at VFS level

Actually the licensing issues were from Linux developers' side - Oracle has nothing to say (as the license to the code and patents was given before Oracle got their grubby hands), and Sun IIRC expected CDDL to work similar to the A

TrueNAS was major source of the myths ... because part of the company wanted you to buy their certified systems

It is, I was thinking more of the core of it. In the same way one might say modern Openshift is rebadged kubernetes, but I will admit it wasn't best word choice

Matz directly credits Lisp (through Emacs Lisp) as influence in the design of Ruby and its runtime, with Smalltalk influence on the language itself, and IIRC Perl as "what was popular and we tried to replace"

Places that want to use Anubis but find the logo not professional enough are free to pay the author, IIRC it was major "professional support" benefit :D

Because people generally do not understand memory management, and by people I mean majority of programmers, leading to dumb tales about performance of GC vs RAII/manual or even glorifying RC
