Copyright is not a natural right. So in your ancap ideal, producers are not getting anything, why would I sign a contract with them if I can just copy it?

Yup, some of my first contributions when I was a teenager, was to an open source project where I was able to find a couple of bugs, and implement a hacky solution that I shared wit…

Thats the thing with giant PRs. They never really needed to be reviewed anyway. In cultures with strong review culture I have worked at, if you send me a thousand line PR and ask m…

> the person who said this has the coding skills of a Claude Opus 4.5 or whenever the frontier was when they flipped It's not about just skill. It's a matter of skill, time, and ho…

Yup. If you are bilingual, you quickly realize how some translations are very bad. How some translations are very good. And how hard it is to translate. With dry, simple text, it m…

It is possible it is just time. Modern humans are considered to have existed for 300k~ years. Civilizations are about 6k years old. So who knows. Maybe if you gave them an extra 10…

Or maybe 100 years from now, your toaster will be powerful enough to run the game. To me this is about both preserving the access to what consumers purchased, but also future prese…

From all their desperation in making sure api keys are not used in contexts where they are not supposed to, I would say that they actually appear to have services where their profi…

Commentary and criticism are by law protected as fair use. Why would revenue share be done "ideally"? News reporting is also covered under fair use, do you expect news organization…

Can't answer for others, but I look at this law from the viewpoint of foreign workers, cause I am a foreigner worker. In Canada. Decided to absolutely never immigrate to the US due…

And even if you do end up writing an unsafe block, that should be a massive flag that the code in said block should deserve extra comments on why it is safe, and extra unit tests o…

> you can never have too many sources of entropy This is so true. And the beauty is that with algorithms, we don't even need to know much about the entropy to be able to extract it…

As someone once said it best, Win32 is the only stable ABI on Linux: https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/

And the people attacked in the weird scene are people that tended to just be dissappeared by police. Gay men. Prostitutes.

The leg is used both as a urban legend that was told at the region at the time, but also as a metaphor. The surrealist scene where it shows the leg brutally attacking people at nig…

Absolutely. For more progressive democrat voters already been harbouring bad feelings around the legitimacy of the establishment candidate from previous elections. The two party sy…

Does JSON have support for protocol versioning?

This used to be true, but now I don't think it is anymore. Modern frameworks and modern screen readers have no issue with acessibility. Some survey from WebAIM found that 99.3% of …

But is Google buying those GPU chips for their own use, or to have them on their data centers for their cloud customers?

It's not about power users. It's about regular users and the patterns they have learned. The mobile ecosystem was built in a way to funnel all users into apps. That's the experienc…

Are there links to samples of the games? Couldn't find it in the github repo, but also might just not know where they are.

Just brainstorming. Human beings have trouble writing json, cause it is too annoying. Too strict. In my experience, for humans writing typescript is a lot better than writing json …

In Ruby, I assume this is done by monkey patching, so yes, it would have all the issues you mention and fear. In more modern languages like Kotlin, there is a notion of extension m…
