You can even do it with complex images in a multi-color bitmap. I do it with my 6502 SBC setup: https://github.com/jimjag/JJ65c02/blob/main/Software/pico-co...

LibreOffice suffers from an extreme inferiority complex, which is why they overreact and get overly defensive about _everything_.

I still have 2 of these.

I think people are missing the main point. The real issue with Rust is that it is a designed language which is really tuned and optimized for a specific use case. And for that spec…

There are some wheels, for example, 'lxml' that bundle in their binary possibly incompatible external libraries, or older libraries than what you would like. This can cause library…

It helps, that's for sure. But this sort of knowledge should not exist in the environment in any case. It should be part of the canonical package list, and not hidden away elsewher…

This has the same issue as so many package managers for Python, namely, it doesn't provide a way for --no-binary to remain sticky. There are times when you do NOT want the wheel ve…

It cannot be stressed enough how _vital_ these scripts were to making the WWW an actual functional technical resource; These scripts were a key, if not the key, in growing the actu…

I would have assumed that the workload would be similar to what Fred and Barney expected at the Bedrock Fire Department.

But it is that exact kind of unknown which makes most people and entities avoid those licenses in the 1st place. If the goal is to significantly limit the distribution and reach, I…

Most of the licenses discussed in the article are demonstrably NOT open source licences at all.

The entire work can be licensed under GPL, but those parts that were MIT remain, individually, still under MIT. MIT specifically and explicitly allows for 'sublicense'ing

Not all CLAs are the same... for example, the CLA from the ASF is NOT a copyright assignment. Other CLAs _are_.

How a license which conflicts with the OSD can "clearly (be) an open source license in the full spirit and original intent of open source" is beyond me.

Open Source is not a business model. Open Source is a licensing and development model.

blush Thank you everyone for the kind words

Well, that's assuming a very specific, and stale, development direction; I think we would have seen a more native and natural migration to something very macOSX like. Sure, not exa…

Yep... the move from m68k to PowerPC was pretty much the deathknell. To really be a successor to A/UX, the core code would have had to be ported to that chip, and the amount of wor…
