> About 80% of these are pretty cowardly and the others overly verbose. Saying “sure I’ll meet you later this year” is not saying no. Only if you really mean "no" but are lying and saying that to be polite. Most of these aren&#

Yeah this is really pushing a gray area. Looking at it one way Red Hat is not obligated to do business with anyone, and if they stop doing business with a customer that customer still has all the rights granted to them by licenses of softwa

RHEL X.Y isn't a simple snapshot of CentOS Stream X at a specific point. It is a fork of CentOS Stream, with cherry-picks and so on. The specific details of what patches made it into RHEL and when and how to create reproducible builds

Yes they must abide by the terms of the licenses of the software they redistribute. But they could start licensing the parts they write more restrictively, like RPM spec files. I don't think this will happen given how much back and for

The only ML that I ever did was a single undergrad NN class around ~2001. That was a long time ago, but I vaguely remember being taught at that time that adding more nodes rarely helped, that you were just going to overfit to your dataset a

There are other types of diagrams beyond what UML formalizes. For example, Data Flow diagrams can be very helpful, but they don't exist in UML (Component, Composite Structure, and Activity diagrams all have similarities with Data Flow

No, they ruled that APIs are copyrightable, but that Google's re-implementation was fair use. Based on the reasoning of the decision one would expect that in most cases independently reimplementing an API would generally be fair use.

It is the bankruptcy part that I don't understand the legality of. Parent company pulls a ton of money out of subsidiary, claims bankruptcy, then magically parent company isn't liable for subsidiary's debt?

Debian releases every 2 years. Each release gets LTS support for 5 years, but there is no reason you need to use it that long unless you choose not to upgrade.

unstable is a bit of an odd fit for most purposes. For 6 months leading up to a stable release it is frozen, so few packages are being updated, then for 6 months after a stable release there is a bunch of churn and things can get a bit unst

The tax breaks I have seen that are similar to this only care about where the employee is working, not whether they are in a home or office. So if that was really the motivation it would be a reason to require employees be located in a give

What is funny is that Meta did go through all the expense of setting this up with Best Buy for the Meta Quest Pro, and nobody even realized it was an option because they advertised it so poorly[1]. [1] https://arstechnica.com&#x2

The spring bars are a pain. Many of my extended family don't have the finger dexterity to operate them at all, and either take them to the jewelry counter to replace or bring them to me. The rest can change them, but hate the damn thin

To be clear I don't support laws mandating the weakening of encryption in any form. If someone wants good security they should have it. However, most users don't want to enter a strong password every time they unlock their phone.

I hadn't thought about it before, but encouraging use of moderately weak encryption keys is an interesting way of balancing the needs of privacy and law enforcement. On one hand, it protects against widespread warrant-less searches (st

While obviously Orin Kerr has far more background on these subjects than I do, I don't agree with his reasoning here. The fourth amendment requires police to get a warrant from a judge before performing a search and seizure[1]. The jud

The constitution clearly grants congress with the sole powers to tax and borrow, and nothing in the 14th amendment changes that. Interestingly, it is silent on the power to spend. So while the executive must generally faithfully execute the

There is a difference between Node compatibility and NPM compatibility though. NPM may have started with Node, but it has become part of the core development process for front-end web development. One of the main purposes of Deno is to decr

Do you specifically mean ADSL to exclude ADSL2 and ADSL2+? Through the entire pandemic I had a 20Mbps ADSL2+ line, and we had no problems with two of us remoting into work or one of us remoting in while the other streamed Netflix.

Eight out of 100 senators signed this letter, and at least some of the ones I recognize have consistently opposed stingrays, CBP abuse, and mass surveillance. So this is business as usual, unless they can convince 43 others do something abo
