Ah, yet another "open-source if you follow my principles" license. It should be an uninteresting fact at this point that yes, you can in fact put whatever clauses you want in your software license. Note that this is a license rest

Native WebAssembly sure is an exciting topic. But I can't think of a single concrete use case that someone could use---besides having another standard for secure bytecode to choose from. Help?

I'd prefer that all CSS/JS libraries not just disable this by default, but entirely remove it from the codebase to prevent uninformed designers from enabling it without thinking of the UX consequences.

Wait a second. None of the demos are the actual company's page but are clones with the company's images. https://natuive.net/demos/hasselblad/ uses natUIve, but https://www.hasselblad.com&#x2F

Does anyone have a list of patents What3Words has? Regardless, this service solves a problem that does not exist whatsoever. My guess is they will go out of business in a few years.

Certainly, I agree. But the parent comment said "10 years or the life of the creator". If copyright expired the day of the creator's death, it would encourage murders. Better to have just "10 years from creation", b

The problem with that is it encourages murder. That's the reason for the lifetime + X years rule.

I refuse to port my desktop application to Android and iOS because of stories like these. If I wanted to gamble my salary, I'd go to Vegas.

For rendering arbitrary arxiv papers, that's understandable, but KaTeX supports enough features to be no issue for 99% of applications. Although, I've noticed that MathJax is much more "modern" and faster than it was 4 y

I don't see a license in the page, and "Use them in a commercial or non-commercial way for your landing pages" unfortunately isn't enough to state the extent for their copyright use. SVG is a really cool format since you

The reason exponents have so many bits is basically to solve this problem. The exponent/mantissa bits of IEEE 754 double could have been 8 and 55, but I suppose the standard committee decided that some precision should be sacrificed

I absolutely feel that. I've heard "they should make XYZ illegal" (talking about a type of media or discussion) more this decade than I have the last. Censorship by private business is totally fine with me, and I'd do th

Plugin-hosting open-source software is great for money. If you build a platform and sell software that extends its functionality, you can may be able to sufficiently fund the platform. You have a huge advantage over third parties (which you

Okay, here's my feedback ignoring license terms: It reminds me of https://templeos.org/ , which is also decades of a single man's work. CIDLib doesn't really do anything that isn't already done elsewhere,

Regex is included in C++11, not sure why you'd need a library for that.

Just use MIT/ISC/BSD for sanity, or Apache if you want to grant patent rights.

John is confusing CPU time with CPU-core time. I assume he gets the $0.025/hour figure from "a1.medium", which is 1 core ("vCPU") with 2GB RAM. As a result of competition, the price of any service tends toward cost

Do you mean what sample rates mixing/mastering engineers work in? They're usually 44.1 or 48 times 1, 2, or 4. Software/hardware DSP effects sometimes oversample interally up to 16x. If you're asking what the ADCs use, t

Interesting, didn't know the Bluetooth fact. I don't usually deal with AAC myself, since opus is so close in every quality/feature, and the AAC patent license is sometimes costly to use commercially ($0.98 per software sale).
