Ah, but there are actually different types of SBOMs, that describe the software in different parts of its lifecycle. It's a completely different outcome to record the software when looking at its source, at what is being distributed, o

Exactly. To understand what an impossible task this is, there is no need to think about different ecosystems (PyPI vs NPM vs Cargo vs ...). Even in the case of different Linux distributions, the package managers are so different that expect

The format is standardized, to the highest level possible: ISO/IEC 5962:2021 defines SPDX v2.2.1. The actual standard text is available for free at the ISO website (and other places, like spdx.org). The newer version, SPDX v3.0, will

You could also generate SPDX SBOMs, based on their AI Profile: https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v3.1-dev/model/AI/AI/

Surely you mean 10 + 10 candidates (not 10x10).

Thank you for this, and congrats on your achievement!

Do you have the same expectations from every software project? Linux? Python? Chrome? Microsoft Office?

That's awesome! Thank you very much!

Actually the announcement is by the Free Software Foundation Europe , an organization that empowers users to control technology.

Actually OP is about the Free Software Foundation Europe , an organization that empowers users to control technology. A number of their campaigns have direct policy/political goals: Public Money Public Code, Device Neutrality, etc.

Interesting! Back in the '80s, before AI could quickly produce such things, I had created a "Greek" version of the C language -- obviously named "Γ". A lot of preprocessor definitions were involved for keyword trans

Another difference, not mentioned in the article or the comments till now, is the effort required for producing a legally compliant software distribution. All's well with using FOSS libraries, but the licenses have to be respected. So

Right. The title of this submission should have a "(2015)".

I used to refer to this as "MUP", for "Most Useless Problem". I wonder if there has ever been any use for it, anywhere.

Oh, what memories! I spent a serious amount of time on this when I discovered it, a couple of years after it was published. Firmly believing that "variations on a theme is the crux of creativity", I studied what happens to the sam

It's interesting to see that the "the diversity of environments" section only talks about work for supporting different installation / deployment methods. Back in the day, with different technologies, most of it would ha

Ah, my point (which I failed to make, obviously) was not regarding the post. It was more like "the whole CUDA stuff is by a single company".

by zvr 11mo ago
Great explanation! It should probably also add that everything CUDA is owned by NVIDIA, and "CUDA" itself is a registered trademark. The official way to refer to it is that the first time you spell it out as "NVIDIA® CUDA®&qu

The ideal setup is something like the safe interpreters in Tcl, which let you do very fun things like having config files in pure Tcl, but with limited access to the machine and master interpreter.

It's a nice observation that Spec-Driven Development essentially implements the waterfall model. Personally, I tried SDD, consciously trying to like it, but gave up. I find writing specs much harder than writing code, especially when t

Don't forget FrameMaker, who was also very much in use for structured, long documentation.

To be more accurate, the comparison is not with Graphviz, but with dot(1). Graphviz is a visualization framework and it includes many layout engines, implementing different algorithms: dot, neato, fdp, sfdp, circo, twopi, ... It would be gr
