Amazon is selling digital copies (or licenses, if you like) of the books, which means they need permission from the copyright holders. This permission is likely backed by a contractual agreement that covers some details about how Amazon pre

Writer and director Steven Lisberger made that claim in interviews, so I wouldn't quite call it an urban myth. As far as I know, any film can be submitted for Academy Award consideration in any category, then an executive committee det

I like RSCs and mostly dislike SPAs, but I also understand your sentiment.

The Austronesians also had ships deliberately designed to cross the open ocean and had a culture that explicitly valued exploration and expansion.

It doesn't seem significantly more wild than the simpler observation that all these islands are populated by humans. Surely the wild part was that they got there, not that they brought their languages with them.

That was indeed one of the main points of SPAs, but React Server Components are generally not used for pure SPAs.

The official website is https://www.beyondallreason.info/ It's an open-source project that started as a fork of SpringRTS. To my eye it looks nearly like a clone of Supreme Commander. I watched a few ranked 1v1 games o

Not changing course is good though. Regenerative braking is only good because it increases the efficiency when you absolutely must slow down, but it would always be more efficient to slow down less.

To me it just looks like unacceptable carelessness, not an indictment of the alleged "lack of explicitness" versus something like gRPC. Explicit schemas aren't going to help you if you're so careless that, right at the l

The team is continuing to develop the open source project that was synonymous with the company, but they're explicitly no longer going to try to monetize it. I think that squarely counts as an acquihire according to common usage.

That is part of the definition given in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, but I think it’s a blurry line when the acquired company is essentially synonymous with a single open source project and the buyer wants the team of exper

Isn't that still "acqui-hiring" according to common usage of the term? Sometimes people use the term to mean that the buyer only wants some/all of the employees and will abandon or shut down the acquired company's p

You can certainly do the frequentist analysis without any regard to the distribution of coins from which your coin was sampled. I’m not well studied on this stuff, but I believe the typical frequentist calculation would give the same result

But as I said, getting any one specific result is less likely than getting another other possible result. And the disparity in likelihoods is greater for any one specific result other than the 50% split.

Okay, but it doesn't make sense to arbitrarily group together some results and compare the probability of getting any 1 result in that group to getting 1 particular result outside of that group. You could just as easily say "you

I’d be curious what the point is even if it were written by humans with some evidence of non-zero effort, but posting something with no point and no effort is really puzzling.
