We went through this in the early days of movie theaters. Laws were passed forcing separation as you are mentioning. Its a shame we to revisit this over and over again each time technology changes slightly.

Seems to be the only solution in the USA. Throw people in jail. Both parties seem to agree on this, they just argue who specifically should get sent.

Q-DOS from which MS-DOS is derived is basically a clone of CP/M. I've written a CP/M bios for fun to bootstrap my IMSAI. It's not really that high level. You got even more from IBM's BIOS but of course that was t

The bulk of the .com era was still on SUN and commercial Unicies. Linux was still in its early adopter phase. It was only in the 2000s that it started to get widespread adoption.

Sure at a big company. But this advice is targeted to engineers who want to start their own company. Its unlikely they can even afford any of the layers of cruft you are talking about. If this was advice for starting some new initiative a

I think that is a little simplistic, the main thing that got Linux going was sustained and continued effort. If this first message had been a flop Linus would likely have continued working and pushing it through. It was almost a decade b

Its a malicious rhetorical tool to use attempts at clarification as evidence of retreat. That's what politicians do. People here are not professional communicators, you can't expect them to say things perfectly the first time.

Doesn't really happen with Openssh. Or MySQL or Postgres for that matter. With Open Source there are a lot more takers than givers.

AGPL says nothing about monetization. It only says Amazon would have to open any modifications they made. Unless Amazon becomes the new primary developers it does not solve the problem of paying the people actually doing the work.

You could use multi cycle paths so this doesn't limit your global timing. Then you would save the registers. This is much more useful for ASIC design, because on an FPGA the registers are there whether you use them or not. However to

Medicare is $702bln/yr or $12,300 per recipient. Canada spends $3,000USD per capita and provides healthcare to everyone. Think of what we could do with the $526.5bln that would be saved if US healthcare costs were brought back inline w

That's actually the limiting factor, otherwise you could just compile Qt to WASM and draw to a canvas. To render text nicely you need to know the geometry of the screen so you can anti-alias properly. A canvas goes through a series of

As a developer the simple fact is that if I knew something could happen I would have written the code to support it. Testers are about looking at the code from a different angle. It’s not surprising quality has dropped dramatically since Mi
