>re-opening the file and skipping to where you left off That's what Windows does now. But I think in the past it wasn't that way (as suggested by the sources). In my tests it appears that the command processor caches the byte o

No, I recall reading that the batch processor closes/re-opens the file, scans for n carriage returns where n is the current line number, executes that line, and repeats. These are the sources I found. http://xset.tripod.com&

I definitely remember both reading about and experiencing this years ago, but I can't seem to find a source and it's driving me crazy (will search more later). I imagine variables would persist in the shell's memory. I'm

Batch scripts themselves are O(n^2) because the shell closes and reopens them after each line (even comments or even blank lines), and the scan to get to line `n` takes O(n) time and disk bandwidth.

Sticky headers make me feel claustrophobic, I don't know why. Regardless of my screen height (it could be a 30" monitor), it feels like something is "stuck" to my browser that wasn't before and makes me feel anxious

There are probably several open-source projects that you can download today that include unknown malicious code. But they will be discovered eventually. Proprietary software, on the other hand, can keep malicious code during their entire li

"What benefits does your project offer over sshd?" I use this because 90% chance the person has an answer ready for the exact question. "sshd is more difficult to deploy in blah blah situation", which is an emotionless a

You can Google almost any high school math question verbatim and find a QA site with the verbatim answer, perhaps with numbers switched around.

I don't like writing manual HTML/CSS/JS, so I write Pug/Stylus/Coffeescript and generate the site with a Makefile that calls all the compilers. For example, SOURCES += $(shell find -name '*.pug')

Also the B1 is estimated to be this price.

Ah, so the yearly fees are more like property taxes. In that case, it's best for the managing organization to be public-serving.

Has .org always followed market prices? If so, this change shouldn't have much effect on the .org prices. If not, why hasn't the previous manager of .org been following market prices?

How does the GCC project afford to fix "more than 215 bugs" on an old branch? Do they cherry pick commits from 8 and 9? Do they fix bugs on the 7 branch and then cherry pick them into 8 and 9?

I agree that it's dumb. The only clear alternative, N years after the work was created, has its own problems though, such as trying to figure out when each work was created to determine whether it's in the public domain or not.

Free (libre) software sort of faded into existence, simply because the notion to copyright software faded into existence, and free software sort of relies on people to consider that software can be copyrighted in the first place. "A-2

An interesting thought: The license of your open-source software will become irrelevant if this is cracked open in 1000 years because everything will be public domain, assuming copyright laws aren't changed drastically, but it's i

I see it as a wealth level thing. People will still be buying $30 Canon printers at Walmart with USB-B ports and USB-A flash drives in 20 years. Not everyone buys their entire family the newest, most expensive hardware every 2 years. It&#x2

What's the 1%? Of course, paying a license would be a desirable negotation between the author and SaaS company, so this isn't an "issue".

I see. Would AGPL fully solve this problem?

Can you give an example? Is what you're referring to what the AGPL is designed to fix?

Why not GPLv3+? Under that license, it's possible for someone to offer a commercial fork, but it requires that the source is released under the same license, which makes third-party commercial forks 1) not a good business plan and 2) n

Why not just alksjdhflkjahdskjfhalskjdhfas.com or something that definitely doesn't exist? Since there's no HSTS on domains that don't exist, it should allow the wifi network to redirect to http://myloginportal&#x2
