    It is hardly better though. Aside from MCP support (with rather poor UX, just compare it with anything else out there) it really has nothing to offer.

    Sure, but I meant airtight as a point on a spectrum rather than absolute thing. Meaning: you should prefer laws which are both generic and unambiguous.

    So we end up in a system in which those with money to litigate will do what they want? I'd rather have airtight laws instead.

    Around midnight LA time, except the code may have a bug (?) with respect to DST changes (uses explicit UTC-8, which won't be correct the whole year). See source code at https://dan…

    I appreciate the work you've put into this, but if someone gets into this they are likely to be looking for a next puzzle immediately. They are unlikely to become a recurring visit…

    Lol and I wondered why it came back light after reload. It was really fun after you got past the UX hurdles! Pity there aren't more online.

    > And you tend to remember that. Haha, nope. Different brains work differently. One day I genuinely prefer one, a week later another.

    That feels overly broad. Where is the boundary? Is it a network if you receive a USB drive after making a phone call to order something? Send a physical letter via pigeon?

    Ah, thank you, this is interesting. So in a way the original IP is kind of poison which forever taints their source code, diminishing what they can do with it.

    What is stopping AMD from distributing a closed source binary blob along with selling the access to proprietary source code for $1?

    In general case I think it might be hard to sue a company for any fixed amount of money due: it is hard to measure this, and companies are likely to low-ball the figure anyway. Yet…

    So... Meta has been fined for illegally using customer data, which they value at hundreds of euro per year. Can the customers sue for back payment?

    I wish we had a LLM to BBC-ify the otherwise sensationalized reporting elsewhere. There would definitely be a market for this kind of service. For the reverse one as well, unfortun…

    I think of branches as variables pointing at immutable points in the commit tree. Git commit creates a new node in the tree and updates the pointer. You can manually move pointer a…

    You do have ignore lists, but the UX is extra bad. OTOH resilio ate my files in certain situations, so I had to ditch it.

    Kinda naive table. Credit Suisse sort of collapsed today and it was barely 9th here. Also no mention of CDS levels which are directly the thing you should be looking at.

    For the public company: you pretty much can just buy it, barring stuff such as poison pills or regulatory approvals.

    This requires a context switch which is expensive in it's own way. Read the article, it covers this pattern pretty well.
