Wasn't that 20 years ago? Do they maintain the same integrity and diligence in the modern click-oriented age?

Most sentences aren't very drastic compared to the worst possible sentence. But how well lined up are they with the crime?

Can you elaborate on that?

My own attitude is that I can appreciate the humor, but I want top comments to be informative, not comedy. I'll downvote jokes near the top to help bring informative posts up, but I don't downvote when they aren't at the top,

I'm very hesitant to define competition as "can't sell to them because they make theirs in house". Losing a sale isn't competition. Competition is someone threatening to take your clientele from you with their own o

Would OpenAI be competing with them, though? If they just manufacture their own and use their own, but don't sell them, then nVidia and ARM are just losing a client, not getting competition. Ideally what we would see is OpenAI investin

If the IP is that valuable, why can't they pay those that are familiar with it enough to keep them at the company and happy? And if that's not enough, maybe building an entire business model based around a reproducible IP isn&#x27

Agreed. Imagine the junior did this after the senior left and didn't have them to fall back on to restore things.

Yeah, the ancients Greeks are a mix. Plato in particular finds a way to do both well. But then with Aristotle we have the foundation of writing to excess. Documentation instead of communication.

To me, this is one of the most interesting differentiations between western philosophy and eastern philosophy. Western philosophy tries to get around the language problems by writing thick volumes with excruciating detail and pedantry to he

If your friends are looking for feedback, you can pass on that at least one person on the internet finds it in very bad taste for them to describe the delay in treatment as a "civilizational embarrassment" while planning to charge

And Artifact has card packs that are effectively loot boxes, and a whole marketplace to facilitate selling/buying them. I don't know how much/if they made any cut from the marketplace, but it's certainly a form of "

I generally agree with you there. Permanent backwards compatibility has strong early rewards and strong late punishments. I'd love to see programming languages and frameworks add a "gamma" phase to their initial releases. Alp

The author seems to have things backwards. They want to read/learn something first, then figure out, with a group of people, what they can do to apply that newfound knowledge. They might appreciate their efforts more if they instead de

Repeating my response to a sister comment for visibility: Unity definitely deserves to get paid for the value they provide. But why should that value scale with install count? Doesn't it already charge for licenses to develop the game?

Has there been any explanation, from Unity themselves or anyone else, as to why Unity thinks it deserves a cut based on install count? Do installs have to connect to Unity servers to download something? Anything like that? Everything I&#x27

Yeah, but they could have worded it more clearly. "FBI Hacker Dropped Stolen Airbus Data on Sept 11th Anniversary" or something.

For what it's worth, I appreciate the rules. The experience is much better for me! But I don't typically submit articles, so I'm never impacted by the manual effort.

That's good to know. I bought a 2015 Subaru just a year ago. Any chance you can share your source so that I can feel complete comfort about the data privacy of my car?

Very fair! It's been close to a decade since I used Exercism so I don't really know what their stuff is like nowadays. From what I remember, the focus was less on teaching you the language directly (via instructions) and was more

Looks very similar to the Exercism model, which also has a free WASM course filled with small exercises[1]. I wonder if the author considered contributing to that course or working together with them, it might get their work to a broader au

I think they meant back before either Ruby or Python hit their stride, not afterwards.

by ysavir 3y ago
Ruby has implicit return values for methods, but unless I'm wrong, so does Python.

Are those fair comparable scenarios, though? Usually successful invasive species have some 1-up on the local fauna and can thrive. Can the same be said of the newly manufactured mammoths?
