While it may be better to have love and lost than never loved at all, you are not going to see people celebrate the breakup of what they thought was a good relationship. It is true that VC money has created a ton of great open source softwa

I don't think Rust is the issue here. The same integer overflow can occur in any language and should be checked. Integer overflow and underflow is one of the most common security bugs after memory access errors. It is more that bump al

Starlink's ToS prohibit reselling of service, and dividing cost of service among several tenants could be considered to violate that. Most ISPs would require a specific agreement for those sort of things. [1] https://www.sta

60 million people live in rural areas in the US, over 40 million of those already have broadband at home[1], and less than 2 million people subscribed to satellite internet before Starlink launched[2]. His projection of 20 million subscribe

I've known a few people into black powder guns and cannons. It is a fun hobby for them. One of them got into it by way of model rocketry, the rest were folks who were generally into "mountain man" era skills, technology and r

My first one had to replaced after about 6 or 7 years. The plunger rubber had gotten worn down, and the internal wall of the brewing compartment had become blistered from hot water (I used 170-185F water). The new one with different materia

Yeah, so you just set it down cap up, not screwed in. Takes up less space than keeping the plunger separate, and is just as good on the plunger.

That is the fundamental difference between a pure copyright license and a contract (eg EULA). A license can only grant you permission to do things you weren't able to do otherwise, while a contract can prohibit you from doing things yo
