This is the first that I have heard of them. The apparent inspiration for the phrase had never meant to be interpreted to justify a lack of charity. Only those with poor understandings of Christianity’s history and teachings would think oth

I would think that phrase is related to the phrase, “he who does not work, does not eat”, which is in the Bible: https://biblehub.com/2_thessalonians/3-10.htm The phrase “he who does not work, does not eat” was never i

The U.S. has never been the world leader. The U.S. has been a military leader for other democracies since the end of WWII. That is why the title, leader of the free world has been applied to the U.S. president, who is the leader of the vari

Leader of the world and leader of the free world are two different things. As far as I know, no country in the past century has called itself either of them. I would not be surprised if the title was applied to countries such as the Imperiu

Has the U.S. ever claimed to be the leader of the world? I do not think any country has ever claimed that title. The closest to it would be some of the remarks that are supposedly made to each Pope upon becoming Pope. That said, there is th

> It runs on all versions of Windows, except Win95 and Win98. For some reason, I suspect it does not run on Windows 1.0 to 3.11 either. I also find it strange to think it would run on both Windows ME and Windows NT 3.5, while excluding W

It is nice to see news of this in the actual news rather than just on YouTube channels like Scammer Payback.

1 is not a prime number because Disquisitiones Arithmeticae did not regard it to be a prime number, and that book is the basis of number theory.

It is said to be useful for optimization problems like protein folding, although they have so few qubits that I am not sure how useful it really could be. A microcontroller with only 1024 bits of RAM for example has very limited usefulness

It seems that only portions are from the original, so it is possible that they made the fork by copying files as they were needed. In that case, there was no removal of the notice. It just never was copied since they were using the project

by ryao 2y ago
This is correct and is roughly what I meant. My only nitpick is that I was thinking that if they forked at the time of the older notice, they would be fine to have used it, rather than a vague notion of appropriateness that probably was int

Is that because people are uninformed or just do not care?

That was my thought. Somehow Ford managed to use one to improve its manufacturing process by having it solve a scheduling problem in 5 minutes that previously took an hour: https://www.dwavequantum.com/company/newsroom&

My doctor was able to switch from Synology to TrueNAS after I advised him to replace his failing Synology NAS with a TrueNAS box and I gave him a link to the TrueNAS documentation. He is fairly average in my opinion.

> It’s a lot more nuanced than that. Being in a data center doesn’t imply heavy network utilization. I suggest you reread “software used in datacenters (e.g. by CDNs) that does use it”. This is not a reference to software in a datacenter

Then who is responsible for his failure to add proper notices to the files? Microsoft? If someone wanted to transplant only a subset of files from one project to another, there would have been no copyright notices to retain.

He made it extremely easy for a fork to make this mistake by not putting headers in every file stating the license and copyright. If you look at any major project, you are likely to see license and copyright notices at the top. You even hav

It sounds like it would be an awesome portable terminal emulator. Are there any good terminal emulator applications for DOS? How is the Minix 2.0 experience if you go that route?

I was responding to this: Sufficient but a good idea to put copyright in all files. Technically if there's no license found then it should be considered automatically copyrighted, with no permissions to copy. So leaving copyri

It does not. It simply discusses ways of adding headers to arbitrary source code. The intention is to add license and copyright headers, but the reality is that these headers can say anything. It is discussing generic techniques for doing t

by ryao 2y ago
It is advice for how to add headers to source files, not legal advice. This is a generic concept and the headers could literally say anything. They just happen to be license and copyright notices, since that is what he needs them to be. It

Around 15 years ago in college, I took the opposite position that datacenter workloads mattered more to Nvidia’s future than gaming and no one believed me. It is amazing how times have changed.

That was for training. For inference, they reportedly use their own silicon.

I am not a lawyer, but I imagine a lawyer would find it alright if they just restore the missing notice. I do not imagine there is much else that can be done here since he cannot really claim to have been significantly damaged by the absenc

I had no idea anyone still used the term “mare nostrum”. I believe it began to be used during the Roman Empire when the Romans had conquered all lands surrounding the Mediterranean. Back then, the term meant the sea belonged to them and no

Linux added a busy polling feature for high performance networking. Most Linux software does not use it, but software used in datacenters (e.g. by CDNs) that does use it makes the system very energy inefficient when things are not busy. Thi
