I suspect such a licence would be rejected by the OSI, and by the FOSS
community.

Criterion 5 of the OSI's Open Source definition: [0]

> No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

> The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

To my knowledge this hasn't been tried in a licence before. FOSS licences
generally state something about accepting no liability, and this seems to work
pretty well even across jurisdictional differences. Presumably the legal
situation changes if the software is sold, e.g. with enterprise Linux
distributions, but of course FOSS is not typically distributed on that basis.

Perspective time.

Global life expectancy is higher than it has ever been at any point in history and many of these materials you want to be "cautious" about (is any level of "cautious" ever cautious enough?) are involved partially or heavily in providing those health advances.

If there's anything we should be "cautious" about it's glib interpretations of subtly complex statistical studies.

I'm also not sure how much the smash-the-system/anti-capitalist hand-waving helps.
In the mid-late 2000's, Ardour (and a couple of other DAWs) had support for branching undo/redo histories.

We (Ardour) abandoned it, because the universal experience of non-programmers was that they had no idea how to even begin to use this sort of feature. The majority of DAW users don't come ready to deal with the complexities of a branching workflow, or even a desire to learn it.

There is at least one band out of Madison, WI that uses/used git with Ardour during the height of the pandemic to facilitate remote collaboration on new pieces. They gave a talk (and played) at the Ubuntu Summit in Prague last year.

And then

}

Both presentations can manifest in either gender, but girls are more likely to have the inattentive presentation than the hyperactive one.

Inattentive is a bit of a misnomer, too—it's not that they can't hold attention on something, it's that they have a hard time controlling where their attention goes. This is another reason why this presentation often flies under the radar: "my {daughter/son} can't have ADHD, {she/he} can stay focused on {favorite activity here} for hours!"

Exim is an old codebase, but I've interacted with the devs often, this doesn't jive with my experience.
Even filing a bug report or help request, they request the standard stuff to reproduce, config examples of the help request to give context, in a polite and professional manner. It's a lovely project, a flexible MTA and good stewards of open source.
I don't suspect the communications will be released, but I have a bias to favor the Exim developers on this than a corporate entity offering bug bounties and clout.

I really dislike the trend of studies claiming a 'link'. It's misleading, as almost all readers interpret it as causality. The article points out the study doesn't imply causation, yet this comment highlights the 'consequences' of aspartame. It just seems like a big disconnect.

There are open source projects (like insomnia) that are “good enough”.

Now that the money is drying up, companies need to continue to hit these insane ARR targets somehow.

Not IQ specifically but there were Romans who recognized that lead, and specifically lead pipes, were harmful:

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (c. 80 BCE – c. 15 BCE) wrote:

> 10. Clay pipes for conducting water have the following advantages. In the first place, in construction:--if anything happens to them, anybody can repair the damage. Secondly, water from clay pipes is much more wholesome than that which is conducted through lead pipes, because lead is found to be harmful for the reason that white lead is derived from it, and this is said to be hurtful to the human system. Hence, if what is produced from it is harmful, no doubt the thing itself is not wholesome.

> 11. This we can exemplify from plumbers, since in them the natural colour of the body is replaced by a deep pallor. For when lead is smelted in casting, the fumes from it settle upon their members, and day after day burn out and take away all the virtues of the blood from their limbs. Hence, water ought by no means to be conducted in lead pipes, if we want to have it wholesome. That the taste is better when it comes from clay pipes may be proved by everyday life, for though our tables are loaded with silver vessels, yet everybody uses earthenware for the sake of purity of taste.

What is the problem of this goto use in particular, except that you don’t like see goto?
Not really; the signature is appended to the tail and can be safely ignored by things that don't know about it. This is a pretty thoughtful way to make the change.

It only really matters if you are doing something weird -- e.g. concatenating a lot of images together.

Having metadata instead of raw images is useful.

The thing was turned on for a couple years before anyone complained IIRC: and then suddenly it was a high-stakes issue with brigading, etc.

> +1 - I actively avoid games using the unity engine in favor of ones using unreal. It’s a noticeably worse experience for end users of the product (not just the devs, but also the players).

I often wonder how common this view point is. From a player perspective, I don’t think about game engines. If there’s a game that I’d like to play, I play it regardless of the engine.

If you were to see a video for a video game — say Hollow Knight or Cuphead, for example — and think that it might be fun to play but then see that they use Unity, what do you do instead? Do you search for a close analogue made in Unreal engine? Or do you just play something completely different?

From a hobbyist game dev perspective, I definitely think about engine — of course. But usually when I work with other people they want to use Unity. I’m guessing that might change now, though.
Yeah, I’m gonna need to see some replication with stronger methodology than self reporting and better confidence interval before I put much weight on this study.

It is worth noting that this probably had more to do with the awful state of the city sewage system, so the water was well known to be contaminated. Luckily we've improved somewhat with sewage (I think).

Although anecdotally I've had a local lake closed for weeks at least due to toxic red algae blooms related to run off from farms (I believe it's fertilizer runoff that's attributed to these blooms)
The amount in water is at a safe dilution and only conspiracy theory fear mongers say otherwise.
Mobile phone privacy in general is not great.

I used to manage phones for a company years ago and in the SaaS management system it was technically two clicks to make a list of all users who had Grindr installed, even for personal (BYOD) phones that were work enrolled. We never did this but it worried me that it was possible at all.

I always thought this was a big issue especially because we operated in some countries where gay activity is highly illegal (unfortunately). The same goes for other apps but of course it's one of the few that implies things so private.

These days the situation on the Android side is better as there is 'work profile' that stops this from happening. It's basically a work section within your phone and your employer can manage only that part. If you install an app on the private side the employer no longer sees it.

But on the iOS side things are very open. You can see all the other apps. Some management platforms now limit the information you can see because of GDPR but the issue is the info is still there.
>Russia have thrown everything they have at Ukraine over the last year-and-a-half.

I don't believe that's the case. Russian military doctrine has always been to reserve the best systems for the end-game, and front 'fodder' in the beginning stages of things.

I see Russia's war theatre manifest also in Syria, where the very same tactics are utilized to suppress the field.

"Shock and Awe" is a US doctrine. Russian is more "Shake and Hold".

"Massively overestimating themselves/underestimating themselves", is very difficult to contextualize, if you don't actually speak Russian.

^this is what you're endorsing, because any failures generally occur at the stage wherein the End User is adapting the component to integrate into their own systems.

Responsibility falls on the composer of a system to deal with the composition's quirks. Anything that tries to put it up a layer is just trying to pass the buck. The Software Author has a particular case in mind. Yours is probably not it, but might become so. If it fits, go ahead and ship, if not, smooth it out. Nothing is stopping you but your unwillingness to wrangle the code.

I generally pick AWS, but Azure is a close second and we use it for specific things too. Aside from GPT access, Microsoft gets compliance right. Working with medical, military, or some types of educational, Azure is a better choice.

I like that things I did over a decade ago on AWS still work. I don't like that Google throws me on the curb every few months. Azure is in between, but closer to AWS. 95% of the cost is maintenance, so AWS > Azure >> Google.

I suppose one choice would be to separate any current open-source development company with support services into two independent parts. One part will continue developing the software, funded exclusively by donations. The other part will offer commercial support for the software and at the same time make generous donations to the developer part.

It could conceivably work in the consumer's favour assuming the commercial entity is at liberty to choose alternative software stacks for whatever problem the software solves; overlapping boards-of-management and vendor lock-in are the things to watch for.

Pliny speaks of the "noxious and deadly vapour" (sulfur dioxide) of the lead furnace (XXXIV.l.167; there was, in fact, a four-fold increase in atmospheric Pb pollution during the Greco-Roman period); red lead (minium) (XXXIII.xli.124) and white lead (ceruse) (XXXIV.liv.176) as poisonous, even though both were used as a medicine and cosmetic; and the power of sapa (and onion) to induce an abortion (XXIII.xxx.62). Dioscorides cautions against taking white lead internally, as it is deadly (V.103). Soranus recommends that the mouth of the uterus be smeared with white lead to prevent conception (Gynecology, I.19.61). Galen (On Antidotes, XIV.144) and Celsus (V.27.12b) both provide an antidote for poisoning by white lead, and Vitruvius remarks on the pernicious effects of water found near lead mines and its effect on the body (VIII.3.5, 6.11).

The earliest description of acute lead poisoning (mid-second century BC) is given in the Alexipharmaca of Nicander, who speaks of "gleaming, deadly white lead whose fresh colour is like milk which foams all over" (II.74ff). The poet describes a frothing mouth, asperity of the tongue, and dry throat, together with dry retching, chills, delusions, and overwhelming fatigue. But if lead poisoning had been endemic, it presumably would have been remarked upon at the time. And yet there is no mention of the fact until early in the seventh century AD, when Paul of Aegina, a Byzantine physician, described chronic lead poisoning (although he does not associate its symptoms with the disease). "I am of the opinion that the colic affection which now prevails is occasioned by such humours; the disease having taken its rise in the country of Italy, but raging also in many other regions of the Roman empire, like a pestilential contagion, which in many cases terminates in epilepsy, but in others in paralysis of the extremities, while the sensibility of them is preserved, and sometimes both these afflictions attacking together" (Medical Compendium in Seven Books, III.64).
