Well, the only workable solution for those is to never change any timezone again ever. According to the changelog of tzdata on my system any such device/code older than four months is fucked already. I'm not sure it's reasona

If the external costs could be put back onto the ones responsible for them, it would be OK. The problem is that now those industries are effectively subsidized by society. If polluting industries would pay for my allergy medicines, my repla

Well, they effectively put a cap on available foreign content to 2.3 times what's available domestically. If there's, say, 300 movies produced in your country, you will have to limit the selection of foreign movies to 700. Numbers

What do you mean? Just to see what you were talking about, I downloaded VSCode from their official website, installed and started it. At no point was I (to their credit) presented with a "contract". OTOH, there was (again, to thei

I tend to post this whenever an awk discussion pops up, but at least for me, the reason I didn't learn awk earlier is that the gnu man page for awk is quite offputting. I spent ten years thinking "awk is too complicated for my wea

Honest question: Would it be possible for a software company, especially one of Microsoft's magnitude, to produce a bug that would be "not ok" in your book. Is there any kind of technical problem a software package could ca

How would a GPL licensed NPM affect anything? Are you in the habit of including NPM in your software and shipping a closed source version of it to paying customers? Is this a common way of using NPM?

You're moving the goalposts! Previously it was "anything but install scripts". Now it's "logic and arrays". I actually think we agree with each other, but we express it differently. I never write bash scripts

If anybody is conflating things, it's you. And what you seem to be conflating is the meaning of the word "is", with that of the word "should". You might be quite right in that no information should be illegal to p
