What a great write up of a fascinating story. I'm constantly impressed at the writing coming out of the emulation world. I can't think of any other technical niche that produces such consistently approachable writing…
I disagree that the sport is about bikes. I think the sport is about cyclists. The olympics is particular is built around human athletic competition not technical competition. How do you find the best cyclist if the…
That example is appalling and indefensible. I think it's important to note that it has been condemned by BDS. According to the website you linked to - "Even the BDS Movement has called on BDS Boston, a group promoting…
If you expect not to be judged for your worst behaviour, then everyone around you won't live a happy life.
The information was in the post - ws2812 (or ws281x, there are variations) which are also known by the semi-brandname "neopixel". They come in various form factors including fairy lights, strips and matrixes. They are…
The debate isn't about whether the technology should be available to millions but whether (and how much) apple should have to pay for the technology. Either Apple are guilty or being stingy, or Massimo are guilty of…
The impression I got was that Massimo was paying fairly for the development team of a medical product. As soon as the technology had a consumer application, the market value of the expertise changed drastically.
Im not sure running TrueNAS counts as learning ZFS, which I think is GP's point. If you want to use ZFS, then TrueNAS with sensible defaults is a great way to go. If you want to learn ZFS enough to roll your own…
I see a thread of people talking about their experience of the game and how aspects of it made them feel. That's exactly what a forum is for, and a very legitimate way to engage with a piece of art. Particularly for a…
Most western democracies dont publicise arrests and mugshots like the US. Most of these countries are more free and have better functioning democracies than the USA. In fact, many coutries would consider publicising…
I agree it's common and not underhanded. But it's not always smart business. Most commercial tenants are still resonsibile for maintenance, which is the primary ongoing expertise. It can be a useful way to free up…
Iirc, following the entirely justified backlash he had to back down from that and surrendered the trademark to the wework.
You may have come across this concept already, but this is where clean rooms come in. One person views the "contaminated" decompiled code and writes a specification. A separate person writes the code based solely on the…
This quote supports my position. Digital goods are treated differently by the act to other goods(hence them being mentioned specifically in this section). Purchasing non-digital goods online provides a greater right to…
Unreal is not open source. I think you might mean that unreal is "source available" which doesn't confer any of the rights of open source, but does allow you to view and modify the source code subject to a commercial…
No, GP is incorrect. Digital goods are treated differently under the act.
Redhat can absolutely stop doing business with someone in a protected class. They can stop doing business with anyone in any protected class. What they can't do is stop doing business with someone because they belong to…
Worth noting for the audience - this is a historical issue. Facebook removed the restriction and changed to a straight forward MIT license in 2017.
The East India Company would like a word.
The same was true for the holy grail too. Other financiers included (iirc) led zeppelin and other British rock greats. The top marginal rate of income tax was ~90% and this heavily encouraged investments like this. It…
(Context, I'm already within the ulez. I can see the boundary from my house.) The diesel fraud over the last couple of decades is really unfortunate. It's messed over a lot of people and caused a bunch of needless…
Thats not actually the issue with talc. The talc itself is not believed to be the carcinagen, but the talc is contaminated with asbestos. Interal documents show that J&J knew about the contamination since 1971. Asbestos…
But the combined product is not in being released in accordance with the GPL, so it is incompatible.
This isn't how the games industry works for games at thia scale (or any other media). They are events. Millions of people having the same experience at the same time and having a common cultural touch point. The 100s of…
Perhaps I'm missing something, but doesn't it have to be the source for an identical rpm package. If the rpm package is the binary they're distributing, than that's also the source they have to distribute. The gpl isn't…
