I agree. The pool of people that could submit code to a project is much larger than the pool of maintainers who could effectively integrate those contributions. At some point an issues bounty will start wasting everyone's time. It enc

I don't think it is just being hard headed. I don't know of a practical non-disruptive way to change the basis of the US legal system away from common law. Edit: not that I support the legal status quo, I just don't see the

You should check your history. Tobacco was native to South America and introduced to the rest of the world in the 1500s. You could argue it is prehistoric to South America, but that is very different from "barely more recent than draw

That's close, but not quite what I want. The Iterator example starts to break down, but I want to pass in a subclass of Iteratable and get that subclass back. class SpecialIterator<R> extends Iterator<R>{} SpecialIterator&

I want to do something like this: public <Z, T extends Iterable<Z>, R> T<R> process(T, Function<Z,R>) change the type parameter of T<Z> to T<R> and return an instance of T<R>, but the best I can do

Even if we all agree that such a duty exists, we would still need to decide what constitutes "betterment". How do we collectively decide that for a specific individual learning X betters society, but learning Y does not.

If I read the paper correctly: They trained a state-of-the-art password guessing NN. They used this to train a second NN to estimate the number of guesses needed by the first NN to guess a given password, and used this second NN as the pas

Simply viewing and reading the source code is not illegal unless if you personally have made a binding agreement with GitHub in which case it would be a civil matter. Or if you profit off of it then you could be liable. Viewing classified
