Unlike common law systems, in the continental European civil law systems there is no concept of a "copyright license" separate from a contract. The only way private parties can put obligations on each other is by contract. If som

Is the contract of interest between the author of the GPL code and the buyer of the Vizio TV, so that the buyer would have a claim of tortious interference against Vizio?

My understanding is that Alder Lake P-cores have the highest single-thread performance currently available, but M1 Firestorm cores are close behind, and so is AMD Zen 3. Performance varies by benchmark, and each of them gets some wins depe

I suppose it depends on the market. I have been involved in a number of contracts to develop bespoke software for big private sector companies. Twenty years ago they were happy to just buy usage rights, but since then the customers have g

Consider maintenance costs over the following decades. If the software is owned by the vendor, they can ask the highest price they can get away with, and the customer (government in this case) has no option but to pay it. Of course they a

Are there other parts of the C language you are avoiding in such an environment, or is it just bitfields? I suppose in any case you'll be using C89 instead of newer language revisions.

Euclidean TSP is easier than general symmetric TSP. Polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTAS) were discovered in parallel by Arora (1998) and Mitchell (1999). AFAIK those algorithms are not very practical though. I haven't follow

It is, but there are polynomial-time approximation algorithms that can get you arbitrarily close to the optimum.

There are a lot of different cultural practices in Europe, and unification is a slow process. I for one have seen many imprinters in use in Europe, although it has been years since I last saw one. An online terminal used to be significant

The Lakatos book is a great introduction to mathematical thinking in that it shows the importance of definitions - how even simple definitions are malleable and can be changed to properly handle special cases. All the details are discussed
