Just today I helped a coworker patch their /etc/bash.bashrc because VSC's bash integration was broken enough to not load bash-completion. Apparently, VSC would rather hijack bash's entire boot process (via the --init-fil

Reporting from India here. No DST ever. I still know what DST is and how it works, but I've never had to change clocks due to DST.

That Microsoft refuses to separate security updates from feature updates, so they can treat regular users as beta testers (and worse), is not your parent's fault. Your gripe is with the wrong party here.

Yes, and Wasm's capability based security model makes sense for adding plugins to your app. But TFA is intended for running entire apps, so I think letting the user of the app control fs and network access via the already widely suppor

Looked into that. Limitations: 1. Apparently, only one MDM is allowed per iOS device. This is a no-go for BYOD Consultants (like me). 2. Apple Business Manager does support Ad-Hoc distribution of links to private custom apps, but is limited

This is not a problem on Linux, at least. File system (and network) access can still be restricted using namespaces.

Docker actually worsens this. The default installation of docker makes no effort to prevent host root access from a container. Root in container is root in host

> Photoshop also has math underneath - does it mean that if you use Photoshop, you're not doing a creative process? By the mere act of using Photoshop, no. By the act of providing your own inputs to Photoshop, yes.

TFA makes it sound as if the entirety of the blame can be placed on one employee. Sure, his actions do seem to support that view, but then again, Nvidia did hire him precisely for his previous experience at this rival company, on the very s

Nobody's making the claim that Euclidean geometry is all of maths. But the part of the universe that Euclidean geometry represents has always, still does, and will continue to work even when the last traces of Euclidean geometry vanish

Nope, math is discovered, without people also there is math. Math is how the universe works. When you describe relations between things, that is Math. Math is notated using many languages, but the real world itself cares not for which notat

Let's settle in the middle and call it Xitter? Seems more honest anyway.

Doesn't work on my KDE setup. Turned out I'd set the option to disable copy-via-selection in Klipper.

Better yet, +1 the comment by the AMD employee who specifically asked for it: https://github.com/amd/RyzenAI-SW/issues/2#issuecomment-1773...

Idk, Java's Classpath Exception seems pretty "pure" for a license. Also pretty simple.

What you say only makes sense in the world where printing presses have only just been invented. Copyright law, today, does not restrict only the "act of making a copy". It restricts a whole lot of things. E.g., display, adaptation

Plus, a copyright owner can supply additional linking exceptions.

by pritambaral 3y ago
Copyright law allows a copyright owner to license their copyrighted work to others, and also to put restrictions on how the licensed work can be used. This is why if you write a book, you can license it to a publisher to print copies of it

I don't see how this is any different from how Java has to deal with what is considered "derivative work" under the GPL for code that uses the JRE. Similarly, I see no reason the solution employed by Java wouldn't work f

EDIT: I misread "distribute" as "provide access to".

If you consider having to propagate the same rights you were given as a limitation, you cannot also claim that MIT/BSD licenses allow users to do whatever they want. MIT and BSD have requirements you must fulfil too. You can't jus

More like: AGPL: If you want to host it, go ahead. If you want to host a modified version of it, provide source. SSPL: If you want to host it, release your entire stack under the SSPL first. Good luck with that, lol. BUSL: If you want to ho

This is FUD. It was FUD when this argument was introduced by a scummy marketing company with product they call a database, and it remains FUD in this case also. 1. AWS never provided a hosted Mongo instance. You know who did? Small startups

Now that op fusion has been implemented for this idiom, the cost of a new instruction does not seem worth the benefit. The benefit would be only a tiny improvement in code size, and that's restricted to when the compiler can be absolut

It could be added with an extension, but software would continue to be compiled without it. For many, many years.

I believe the parent project — paradedb — already does that, for their support of HNSW indexes.

If Azure supports cloud-init, you can forego that throwaway RSA key.

Does Azure not support cloud-init? When AWS complained about Ed25519 keys, I just told AWS to not associate any keys at all and just put my key in the cloud-init config. The OS copies the contents from cloud-init to the appropriate authoriz
