Not bad advice, but the ask was for books - do you have any?

Pretty much any (non-entry level) engineer at a decent software company knows what licenses to avoid. There are strict policies against the use of viral licenses along with training and automation to detect it, etc. Also I don't think

What everyone could learn is to check their (and their communities') assumptions from not long ago. Who saw this, who didn't. Based on this many can confirm their beliefs and others can realize they're clueless. In either cas

because that's less work? there are PDF parsers and renderers in Rust, but unclear what's the goal? There are alos PDF parsers and renderers in JS/TS, etc.

this (and many other things) seem more a natural effect than something intentional. Are you suggesting something different?

isn't it possible to scan PDFs for unsafe code? Having a tool that makes docs safe from "now on" is semi useful, if you don't know whether you were already compromised.

As hard it may seem to you to tackle that, it's harder to convince others like you that tackling it can be like child play. Not just QM/QC (which btw it's beeing successfully taught to highschoolers) but any "advanced&qu

Fun fact about Google Scholar: it’s "free", but it’s just another soulless Google product - no clear strategy, no support, and a fragile proprietary dependency in what should be an open ecosystem. This creates inherent risks for t

Hey Elliott, long time . I think the key issue is with the assumption that anything beyond the license will happen. Any assumption that there's another (moral?) contract is wrong. If the OSS is free, then the product can't be the

The author is missing the point. This is trademark battle, not a licensing one. OSS is not in more trouble than it ever was. Software is, but that's a different problem. The assumption that you're going to make something open sour

Go back to the source (book, whatever) and read it again, it's unlikely that it said that nothing is invented and you missed the point. E.g. electromagnetism was discovered → electric engine was invented(mayb as a result of the discove
