Can do both. Destroy the company, but also go after those responsible. Anyone who knew about the situation but didn't make their supervisor(s) aware is personally liable for damage…

Corporate capital punishment, the company gets seized it's patents and copyrights made public domain, and any other assets it has sold to the highest bidder and those profits used …

Why not? Nothing in the GPL says you need to certify your code for commercial usage in the EU. Edit: In fact, reading the GPL it looks like it might implicitly already preclude usa…

Does OW2 even run on the SteamDeck? Checking ProtonDB says it's unknown compatibility, but generally competitive PvP games struggle due to their highly intrusive DRM/anti-cheat tha…

Don't need to actually block EU downloads, just state that no open source software is certified for commercial usage in the EU. Any company that ignores that is now in violation of…

The best one I've seen is jOOQ, although there are some caveats. There are a number of advantages and a few disadvantages to using a query builder. On the positive side you have: 1…

That's interesting, it didn't used to be linear, particularly on the very large instances. Oddly when looking at the prices for RHEL those are much closer to what all the prices us…

It's because Erlang abstracts the difference between distributed and centralized services. In Erlang everything is message passing, and Erlang doesn't much care if the components p…

Perhaps I should have said he was a manager on the Excel team.

Pretty sure Amazons entire backend is C++. Hard to get much bigger than that.

Eh, not sure that follows. Here's the thing, costs aren't linear. If you do what AWS does and create some artificial "compute units" as a sort of fungible measure of processing pow…

It's important to remember Joel Spolsky, one of the founders of stackoverflow is an old school Microsoft guy that managed the Excel team before starting his own company. He has alw…

Considering the shift to AMD from Intel that has happened over the last couple years it will be interesting to see if we'll see AMD as more of a priority target in the future. AMD …

There's an important difference between using something because it's popular, and using something because it's a standard designed for your problem. For something simple like just …

L4 uses a similar model, and the last ~20 years of research around L4 has mostly focused on improving IPC performance and security. The core abstraction is a mechanism to control m…

A large complicated well maintained and widely used library is infinitely preferable to a large complicated library you need to maintain yourself and used only by you. In a similar…

The problem is that security questions are fundamentally flawed. Most of them are easily guessable with a little bit of research, and because they can often be used to bypass your …

The term dark matter itself is kind of misleading in the first place. The math in general relativity just doesn't add up when applied to certain observations. They've essentially g…

So, first thing, I'm not a astrophysicist nor even a physicist of any type, so I might be misunderstanding things here, but this is how I interpret all this. Hopefully if I've gott…

Not sure honestly. That might have something to do with the vHDM theory mentioned in the paper. I didn't really follow a lot of it, but I think (major grain of salt here) it's sayi…

Another ELI5 by someone not at all qualified to understand this stuff (I.E. a layman). We know from measurements of the leftover energy (CMB) approximately how long ago the big ban…

That's because there isn't one. Fish of any kind is generally considered to be seafood.

More generally labeled as Krab.

Because game developers mostly don't pick the backend, game engine developers do. The vast majority of game developers pick a game engine and that drives most of their other techni…

I certainly hope it doesn't come to that. Servo was really starting to show serious improvements in both memory usage and speed relative to Gecko and Webkit. It would be a shame to…
