In the company I work for the GPL is classified as high risk by legal. MIT and BSD style licenses are preferred because they don't have the viral effect that the GPL has.
Some people around me are wine enthusiasts. I once put a label from an expensive wine on a cheap bottle of wine. That was a fun little experiment that works with switches as well...
To me material implication makes much more sense in the context of three-valued logic where you can also have 'null' values.
Don't think they will accept that when I have do my exam though...
Really curious what those places are. Because for me it's the other way around. I live in a Dutch city where you can get around easily by walking, biking or public transport. And for those rare occasions I need a car, I use a car sharing service. Don't know if you live in car-dependent suburbia(most people do), but that doesn't sound appealing at all.
I can relate. Even though I own a smart phone, I've turned off all notifications and sounds that can distract me except for incoming calls. Never used Facebook. Don't want a car.
My guess would be that it's the fate of all publicly listed companies. They tend to focus on short term shareholder value. A lot of family owned companies focus more on the long term.
We use Kafka a lot within the company I work for. I think it's great.
The only thing I miss is fast lookups based on some key and/or the ability for subscribers to only receive messages for certain keys.
Maybe a bit off topic, but is Mixmaster/Mixminion still a viable option? I can still remember playing around with Mixmaster many years ago but mail delivery was not 100% reliable.
I'm no expert but I also lean toward superdeterminism. It's either that or the universe is not deterministic at all. Believing that the universe is only partly deterministic is the same as believing someone can be partly pregnant.
Does Mattermost still have LDAP issues? The company I work for was looking for a Slack alternative but in the end decided to stick with Slack because of this.
In college they taught me that every line of code should do one thing and one thing only. So doing both a test and an assignment on one line would not be prefered over the first example(split over multiple lines).
I don't have a lot of experience with programming so for now I do what I was taught. :)
Maybe a bit off topic, but i've always wondered why most physicists dismiss the possibility of superdeterminism to escape Bell's theorem.
Are there any physicists here who would like to elaborate?
What I would like is a browser plugin/extension that jails every website in it's own cookie space. That way websites(and all trackers on that website) can only read their own cookies. Is there anything like that out there?
It seems to be inevitable that the "scummy" ones finish first. Deskop Linux could have been more popular than Windows, GIMP more popular than Photoshop and Signal more popular than WhatsApp if only they where first. But the Open Source world always lags behind when it comes to developing new stuff for ordinary consumers.
I installed Signal a while back and tried to convince as many people as possible to switch. But only 7 people in my contact list have Signal installed. Even when communicating with those 7 people i tend to use WhatsApp because i tend to process all my messages at once without switching apps.
When is Facebook giving full disclosure? Why do we have to find out like this?
Facebook knows exactly which entities have been harvesting data. Just tell us already...
