Stripe sends 402 errors on failed payments (though their docs currently don't really label the error code correctly)

I've seen a lot of takes on the GPL but this is a new one to me. As another comment points out, you only have to make changes available to others if you make the software itself av…

There's a pretty big difference between notarization on macOS and what's being described here.

Good one. People making half a million dollars every year are just a few steps away from slavery because they're paying 50% in taxes.

Define "us" in this question.

"OpenAI is close to becoming a necessity and a human right" is the wildest claim I have heard yet about AI. (Though it's possible that maybe someday I will agree with this).

Or maybe it's because forcibly moving people to the middle of nowhere isn't something most people would consider acceptable.

Do you know how effective rehab is for people who don’t go voluntarily? The unfortunate reality of drug addiction is that even for people who want out it’s very hard. For people wh…

Are they really "directly destroying" anyone's livelihood? Are authors actually upset? [1][2] [1] https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/author-coalition-bl... [2] https://www.au…

Seems to me like the Internet Archive can determine for itself what it's job is, and they've determined that this is in fact part of their core mission. Your perception that their …

Are you designing for LLM to LLM communication, or do you still expect humans to understand and work with this language?

I totally agree. I loved that you could understand more or less the entire language's set of additions to C by reading one relatively short document. JavaScript used to have the sa…
