You're welcome to take an MIT-licensed project, fork it, and relicense it as GPL. The inverse? not so much. Hard to sell it as anything but an upgrade if you care about open source…

I fully admit to not knowing about this space, but is there any indication useful quantum computers are going to be a thing any time soon?

I worked on a project about 4-5 years ago that required operating in a FIPS 140-2 environment and this was a huge problem, happy to see there's multiple different investments into …

It's exciting to see when we're so early in the journey of GLP-1 drugs. The dual action tirzepatide and the next generation retatrutide that has shown massive ability to reduce the…

I was going to say the same thing as well, I've used macOS for over a decade on-and-off with multiple monitors and Spectacle and now Rectangle are essential. I even use them when I…
