I was pro nuclear power sixteen years sixteen years ago (these days I'm more ambivalent). In that time the UK has built maybe three quarters of a nuclear power plant.
Nuclear waste sucks but carbon in the atmosphere is way worse. But we're incapable of increasing nuclear production. Meanwhile renewables have gotten way cheaper and storage is beginning to look feasible.
And that's when you realise SDK style projects are much nicer than the old project files. The tooling has massively improved in the past decade.
I discovered last week that .NET Framework v3.5 is still technically supported. Shudder.
EF 9 has some good fixes, and even better, the better, works on .NET 8.
I was under the impression 50Mbps was very good, even for 10-bit HDR 4K.
Also, if anybody else was pushing this bandwidth on Azure it'd bankrupt them. I presume Microsoft are giving themselves an anticompetitive advantage (instead of making their fees fairer).
Similarly, recentf-mode exists but is not the default. Or has that changed?
Plus: your point, caller? Investing in roads only helps folks with cars. There are plenty of people for whom public transport is the only option.
Perhaps you can help popularise them, so they make even more!
I know you know JSON is nominally only 53-bit safe, because JS numbers are doubles. But in practice I'd wager most JSON libraries can handle 64-bit integers.
Also, there have clearly also been several attempts over the years to make a faster D-Bus implementation (kdbus, BUS1), which were never accepted into the kernel. It makes a lot of sense to instead design a simpler protocol.
There is clearly also a cautionary take about how microbenchmarks (here, for serialisation) can mask systemic flaws (lots of context switches with D-Bus, especially once polkit had to be involved).
Free and open source software does not, and has never, required giving up trademark rights. I think the GPLv3 is even explicit about this.
In the Windows case it's fair use of the trademark because you're reselling something you previously bought. That's not applicable here.
WordPress is open source software, but a hosting service has a variety of characteristics unrelated to the nominal software. Besides, WP Engine are disabling key features of the product: of course that's misleading.
Remember, Congress can ban you from growing weed in your own garden and for your own consumption, on the basis that indirectly affects the interstate price. I think that the FCC regulating cellular modems is way less of a reach.

You could say he had a history of using big words to talk shit.
We always say naming things is one of the hard parts of programming. They avoided the default option of something like tawk.
That feels like an advantage for the developer, not the distro maintainer.
I find that amusing, because you're saying it's easy if they can use one version of the library. Well, that's also true if they're writing an application, hence pinning.
Besides, I'd be shocked if that analogy is how the law works. Perhaps if you'd bought an individual license then sure, you could resell it with the brand name, just like the car. But wholesale is a completely different situation.
