Have you really never seen any software saying "for non-commercial use only"?

Neither does python, yet here we are.

Yes. But the what's the point of a convention about weapons that you only observe during peacetime and abandon as soon as war is at your gates?

I mean, I get it, I would be scared shitless too if I had Russia at my border. I'm not saying that Poland is bad for doing this (but I'm not saying it's good either). It's more of a general observation about this kind of treaties: (relatively) easy to get into during peacetime, hard to uphold when shit hits the fan.

I always appreciate being one of the day's 10,000 lucky fews, but why is this here? Did I miss something horrible that happened earlier today?

I'll bite. What have they plagiarized?

I believe this is a continuation of her video on the same topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6ep308goxQ . It's been on my to-watch list for a while. I guess it's time to check it out.

I once made a clone of cat(1), making sure not to include the -v option because it's considered harmful.

Seriously, though, why are you asking? Was there some breakthrough in biology recently that made it feasible and available?

Or are we actually talking about cat(1)?

You mean Sweden as a world superpower? :P

My apologies, I assumed that since you've been a user for a while you were aware of the reason for such a comment and the practice of indicating the post year in the submission titles.

No hard feelings, I hope.

Are you suggesting that they're suggesting anything beyond what date this was written on, since we usually point that out in almost every article that has not been written in the current year for a variety of reason, including "oh, yeah, I remember I already read this without even clicking, it's not new, I might as well go read the comments directly"?

Believe it or not, he's "just" off by two years.

Yes, he is in power since 2000 (1999, actually) but 1999-2012 he was Prime Minister. Only then he became President, which would make the end of his second term 2024. So the current one would be his third term (by the magic of changing the constitution and legal quibbles which effectively allow a president to stay in charge for four almost whole terms, AFAIU).

That's why this is an investigation looking for evidence and not a conviction.

This is how it works, at least in civil law countries. If the prosecutor has reasonable suspicious that a crime is taking place they send the so-called "judiciary police" to gather evidence. If they find none (or they're inconclusive etc...) the charges are dropped, otherwise they ask the court to go to trial.

On some occasions I take on judiciary police duties for animal welfare. Just last week I participated in a raid. We were not there to arrest anyone, just to gather evidence so the prosecutor could decide whether to press charges and go to trial.

Frankly? I personally think that would be boring. The fun part is IMHO the retro futurism, what people tried to extrapolate about physical automation and aesthetic.

It is relevant to the broader discussion about universal ethics, though.

> I doubt it is something that the founding fathers of Free Software/Open Source had in mind.

Free Software sure, that wasn't the point.

Open Source, that was exactly the point. Eric S Raymond, one of the original promoters of the concept of Open Source coined Linus' Law:

    Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow

Which definitely points in the direction of receiving bug reports and patches from users of the application. He was also a proponent of the Bazaar model, where software is developed in public, as opposed to the Cathedral model where software is only released in milestones (he used GCC and Emacs as examples, which reinforces the part of your statement about the Free Software movement in particular).

But they're not going after people who use the mod. They're going after someone who's profiting off of their IP. Someone else said upthread that CDPR doesn't go after people who make free mods (or donationware) so it's clear they don't have a problem with mods per se.

I'm not saying I agree with their stance, but we're talking about different matters entirely.

Maybe "unofficial Fedora version" would have been more deserving of the "unofficial" specification.

Oh, ok, now I see what you mean.

Nope

I'll ignore the 500X and 500L because, to me, they are completely different cars.

The Panda is a completely different design.

Are we reading the same comments here? Am I missing anything specific? Can you please point out a couple I may have not seen?

More details (in Italian): https://www.wired.it/article/agcom-multa-cloudflare-oltre-14...

TL;DR: since 2013 in Italy we've had a controversial regulation that compels internet providers to block access to certain IP addresses when the communication authority flags them. The problem, of course, is that if a copyright infringing websites shares it's IP address with legitimate sites, those sites become collateral damage.

Inkl, on the other hand, is still alive and kicking. If you're ok with their selection of sources it's 9.99 per month o 99.99 per year. I still have a pay-per-read subscription, which I prefer to the subscription model, but I'm afraid they don't offer that anymore.

> I'm aware there are some important emails - but I challenge that there aren't as many as you think there are

The problem is not whether I think it's important. The problem is the customer thinking that's important. Or simply that I need to be aware of what they wrote. Or that I need to be aware of what another vendor wrote.

I'm not saying this is right, I'm saying it's where I'm currently sitting at.

On the other hand I find that the real value of such posts are in the comment section here on HN, especially with posters who don't agree with the article.

> You can cover almost everything with a handful of monthly subscriptions these days.

Maybe for you that's something you can afford. I can't. I just consume less music. Or sail the high seas if I really want something.

Looks like the only way to get it is via CVS(!). Am I missing a link to the tarball somewhere? I suppose viewing it on mobile doesn't help

Isn't this limited to the US?

I wonder: is there any reason beyond sheer curiosity* to learn Fortran in 2025? Not being snarky, genuinely curious about what Fortran brings to the table.

* Nothing wrong with that as a reason, of course

One has to hope OpenAI goes bankrupt and they flood the market with used RAM sticks at bargain bin price.

> besides the risk that an OS update will break this app

Tangential, but what a sad state of affairs is that an OS update can break your app. I'm not a windows user (not voluntarily, at least), but I always appreciated the stability and retrocompatibilità that allowed old apps to run unmodified on modern systems. I heard they dropped the ball on this as well, though.
