    No, it's not clear, and I guess that's up to the courts to decide. But in my (non-lawyer) opinion - if the reproduced code is substantial/unique enough to be deemed to be covered b…

    There's a bit of disagreement in this subthread over what "Open Source" means. I think the issue here is that there multiple ways that people define "open source": 1) The source is…

    While I agree with the other comments about the implications of your "quackery" phrasing, I want to chime in and say that overall, I really appreciate that you wrote that page. I t…

    You're not alone. I understand why this change is needed - jerks often ruin things. But I hope that DO will refine the approach a bit, as opt-in-only will probably kill Hacktoberfe…

    Not the author, but I recently started down the FPGA rabbit hole myself. I started with HDLBits [0], which has a bunch of problems that you solve by writing verilog that is then ru…

    I'm not the person you're replying to, but I'll offer my 2 cents. Frankly, there is a TON of info present, and as someone who hasn't yet attended an on-site DEFCon (though I hope t…

    I had external display issues as well, with a T440 and an UltraDock under Debian. It was mostly flickering and blinking of the outputs, but occasionally a display wouldn't come out…

    That's a great idea! I would read the heck out of that.

    I know this is a late reply,but maybe you'll see it. Regarding the synced/shared/global file ignore, there's an imperfect but usable work-around: You can use #include statements in…

    Yes, mine is very similar. Though, (and I should have mentioned this in my original comment, sorry) I've never actually used the functionality in question, so I don't know how well…

    The cordless phone system I have lets you make/receive calls via your cell phone from any handset in the house. It connects via Bluetooth, so isn't a dock, but the functionality is…

    I haven't tried the chickpea pasta so I can't comment there, but my wife and I found some edamame (soy) based pasta at Costco that's not bad. It's 7 net carbs for a 2 oz serving an…

    If you're in Palatka, then I'm not far from you. If you want to meet up for coffee or a meal or something, my contact info is in my profile.

    In general, an attacker wouldn't be getting my password from my password manager, they'd be getting it through phishing, or brute force, or some other way. If they acquire my passw…

    I keep mine in my password manager, which is sync'd across all of my devices. That way, if I lose access to my 2FA device, I can still get into my accounts, even if I'm traveling.
