Neither the GPLv2 nor the GPLv3 define what constitutes a derivative work or make any claims about linking in the normative parts of the license.

Let's assume that tomorrow some courts were to find that two separate works can link to each other without being considered derived works of one another, and without the whole being considered a derived work of either part. Nothing in the text of the GPLv2/3 would then prevent you from writing a program which links to GCC, and distributing it under a fully proprietary license (as long as you distribute the sources of the version of GCC you're using, of course).

There is one tiny reference to linking in the non-normative parts of the GPL, the "How To Apply These Terms To Your New Programs" section after the explicit "END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS":

> If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library [emp. mine]. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.

This may suggest that the writers of the GPL believe this would not be allowed under copyright law, but being outside the normative area of the license, seems unlikely to be an impediment in court.

So, you've got zero effective political strategy.

Just a bunch of empty exhortation and generic advice.

Sorry but that's not helpful. A little bit of advice back to you: the world is a much more complicated place than you seem you to think. The real world isn't a morality play where simply having "the truth" and "good faith" makes it so it "couldn't be easier" to win. That's the movies. That's fantasy. Not real life.
I don't disagree with that but Airbus planes have also had their fair shares of issues: from frozen sensors sending planes into both the Atlantic and the Mediterannean see to a repeated behavior of apparently loving to land with the front gear's wheel rotated 90 degrees (why oh why!? At this point I think they'll have to reinforce the arm holding the wheel so that it can better deal with landing at 90 degrees).

Are Boeing planes really that much more dangerous than Airbus ones?
India is going through an economic boom period of which not that many people talk about. The cheap energy inputs as a result of Western sanctions on Russia also help with that, of course.

YES, this is the way to go! I've written a couple of internal tools that work this way and it's the best of both worlds IMO.
The assumption in many of the comments here is that this is because Boeing customers are switching but is that actually true? Maybe it's just a good business to be in right now?
Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997.

McD-D had for a couple of decades prioritized military/defense/space contracts over civil aviation and had turned into a finely tuned machine for milking government cost-plus contracts. They also had a bad case of Jack Welch management disease.

Over the years after the merger, Boeing's traditional management was largely replaced by the imported profits-over-everything culture of McDonnell-Douglas. This is, to put it mildly, not your grandparents' Boeing any more.

Because the design life of an airliner is on the order of 30 years, it took years to decades for the cultural change to become visible on the outside, but the 737 MAX MCAS debacle is symptomatic of the change in priorities to focus on hitting sales targets over engineering and QA, with lethal results.

(The simple fact that they had to add MCAS to compensate for changed handling characteristics in the 737 MAX isn't damning on its own, although it was a marketing-driven decision: really, at 50+ years old, it's past time Boeing designed a clean-sheet 737 replacement to compete with the A320 family. But then Boeing didn't see fit to mention MCAS in the pilots' handbook. An MCAS failure can cause a 737 MAX to become unflyable if it fails and the pilots don't understand what's going on, and that has led to two fatal crashes. And the 737 MAX MCAS is controlled by a single sensor, introducing a single point of failure. A dual sensor option is available to customers, but at extra cost -- and this is unforgivable. And now we learn that new-Boeing's institutional response is to demand exemption from FAA oversight? It's not looking good!)
You think that people directly benefitting from saying that growth must be kept positive year over year would say exponential growth isn't a problem? Preposterous.

As someone who has to use Fortran for their job fairly frequently, I say Fortran is a pretty awful experience compared to Python.

Although Fortran is good at arrays, it is terrible at any other kind of data structure. You don't get a standard set of useful data structures (e.g. associative map, k-D tree). Unless you like implementing such stuff, you have to look through a bunch of possibly-working half-implemented codes found using google.

For something focused on numerics, it's lacking in standard IEEE numerical things such as a function to check for nan (GNU extension?!). There aren't an easy ways to do SIMD, excepting hoping the compiler does it for you. There aren't even standard numerical constants, so you get the joy of defining your own PI and hoping it doesn't clash with someone else's.

Strings in Fortran are beyond awful, even with the new ability to reallocate string length.

Then we come to the compilers. The commercial ones may be ok. I know the free ones are very buggy.
Slash commands predate Discord by large.

It's just sad how much of this idiocy is driven by the idea that "we don't want to have to get re-certified". It's 100% short-term thinking because if they'd just bite the bullet and get re-certified they'd likely be setup for another 30+ years on the new airframe. Of course, that would also mean airlines would have a reason to look at the alternatives, so I guess they're also admitting they don't think they can produce a new airframe that's attractive enough to win on merit.

On free runners I'd regularly hit the 1 hour limit. Took some time to set up self-hosted through EC2 and really optimize caching, its now down to 10-20 mins, depending on the repo. Most of that is because of the self-hosted runners, the free ones are painfully slow.

Still, on my local machine these jobs would take 5 mins so its not perfect. And as the build gets more complicated and more stages are added, the problem compounds since the initial download is the slowest part.
Happened to me today. Always works but can never be controlled :)
I agree with you and you basically make the same point as wanted to make: you can’t just frame it as an engineering problem, it involves accountants and bosses. So your original statement „If you frame it properly to engineers, they can solve cost problems too.“ is too simplistic in my view.

Also government subsidies that make the airplanes ~20-30% cheaper.

Which to be fair Boeing almost has as well, but for Boeing it's mostly military contracts that subsidize the development of new airplanes that then get reused as civilian aircraft.

>Consider the GPLed libmysql. I can already freely copy libmysql from system to system in either source or binary form. The GPL grants me permission to do that. Fine. Now I copy libmysql.so to /usr/lib and my non-copyleft libproprietary.so to /usr/lib alongside it. Also allowed. But magically, the moment the dynamic linker loads libproprietary.so into the same address space as libmysql.so, I've broken copyright law?

Mmh... The GPL and copyright are about information distribution. You, as someone who owns their copy of libmysql.so and libproprietary.so, can do whatever you want with them. They're on your hardware and no one can tell you what you can order your hardware to do with the information that's on it. The question is, if you write a program that uses them both and you share that program with the world, how are you supposed to license that program? I.e. What rights are you supposed to give the users of that program?

So the question of whether you've broken copyright law depends on how you've licensed the program that links to both libmysql.so and libproprietary.so. If the program is closed source, then yes, you've broken copyright law. If the program is GPL'd then, I don't know. Maybe you have, but I don't know who could sue you for making a GPL'd program that depends on a closed source library that you don't have the source for.
Julia requires you to explicitly specify if you want to use broadcasting (i.e. `[2, 4, 8] + 3` fails so you need to do `[2, 4, 8] .+ 3`). When I first came across this I thought it was unnecessary but the more I use it the more I like it because I think it improved my mental model of broadcasting. With numpy it was mostly trial and error.
Deflecting the question while simultaneously insisting others act without questioning ("it's a waste of time," apparently to ask questions) is an act of hypocrisy. Show us that you practice what you preach - and make no mistake, you are preaching.

What neural network is being used I think it would be better if you told us the neural network that is doing the prediction.
OK, this is just completely unreasonable of you. HTML is a natural hypermedia in that it has native hypermedia controls. JSON & XML are not natural hypermedia because they do not, however hypermedia controls can be added on top of them, as in the case of HXML/hyperview, which, again I include in my book on hypermedia systems.

There are many other hypermedias, such as Siren, which uses JSON as a base, and I have never claimed otherwise. Mark Amundsen, perhaps the worlds expert on hypermedia, wrote the forward to my book, Hypermedia Systems, and found nothing objectionable and much worthwhile in it.

I hate to be rude but you didn't understand, or refused to acknowledge, the basic meaning and usage of the term 'hypermedia control' until I cited a W3C document using it. While I certainly understand people can dislike the conceptual basis of htmx, its admittedly idiosyncratic implementation or the way we talk about it, at this point I have tried to engage you multiple times in good faith here and have been rewarded with baseless accusations of things I haven't said and don't believe.

At this point, to be an honest person, you need to apologize for misrepresenting what I am saying multiple times to other people. It is dishonest and it makes you a liar, over something as dumb as a technical disagreement.
It's not just safety, it's that the 737 is the symbol of an industry which is not keeping up with the times. The 737 is a 1967 aircraft that is still flying. You don't see a 1967 car being sold in car dealerships. You can't buy a 1967 computer.

You see the headline "Airliners can't take off in Arizona because it's too hot" but the truth is "737s can't take off in Arizona because it's too hot" (737 struggles to take off under good conditions, it takes more runway to take off than planes with 2x the PAX) People say "flying sucks", but it's more like "flying sucks in a 737" (the reason why your neck locks up just thinking about sitting in a window seat on a 737 is because the 737 has a circular cross section that doesn't fit the human body; a plane smaller than a 737 with a more appropriate cross section feels like riding in a 747)

The Embraer E2-Jet is a smaller aircraft that has a bigger engine with better fuel economy because it's not an obsolete design that can't fit a bigger engine. Then there's the A220, bought by Airbus, that Boeing has no answer to and has chosen to have no answer to. For some reason they got possessed to develop several widebody airliners in a row but when it comes to overhauling the narrowbody planes that are most of the units, most of the flights and most of the social and economic impact of aviation, management has been on strike for decades.

The industry has been trying hard to keep you from riding in a modern narrowbody or regional jet because if they did, you'd be demanding it. Once you try the A220 there is no way you'd ride the same route on a 737 if you had a choice. And the thing is the A220 has lower operating costs... But remember, capitalists pay capital costs but they can make you pay operating costs. So long as everybody is flying inferior aircraft they can refuse to invest and pass higher operating costs on to you.

TOTP falls under "something you have" because the secret isn't transferred and you don't (generally) have access to it to leak it.
From a user perspective the difference is important, because it's often the difference between "can use this for real work without worrying about exactly what's going on under the hood" and "you probably shouldn't use this unless you know you need to use it and that you can live with the performance aspects". (e.g.: booting a Windows guest under virtualization is a very popular thing to do; booting a Windows guest under emulation is probably going to be a lot of work and not actually achieve the end-goal you were after when you do eventually get it running.) They are also vastly different from a technical perspective.

GoogleFi Used to Be Technologically Advanced. Now It's Forgotten. What Happened?
I've been a long-time user of Google Fi, and I remember when it first launched – it felt like a peek into the future of telco. The seamless international data coverage, private VPN, integration of multiple networks and straightforward pricing were all groundbreaking at the time. But lately, it seems like GoogleFi has fallen off the radar. Especially when it comes to customer support.

I've been imagining what a technologically advanced carrier might include. Enhanced protection for your primary number with complimentary burner numbers? Satellite connectivity? Improved SIM swap protection?

It's like Google Fi hit a technological plateau. What happened to the innovation and competitive edge it once had.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts and whether you feel the same.

> The only airlines that are Boeing or Airbus exclusive are low costs (like Ryanair or Spirit Airlines) and tiny airlines operating a handful of planes.

This isn’t true for the reasons you are implying. Most of these smaller carriers fly to regional airports with smaller runways and smaller demand which the 737 specifically is ideal for (since that’s what it was designed). It’s also one of the most common planes out there, so when smaller carriers are looking to buy, that’s what’s available. It’s not that they are looking to be a single vendor airline. It’s just that the one vendor made the plane they need.
Changing defaults can have unexpected consequences, especially ones that have storage implication and especially in programs that are so tied to scripting.

I agree that the default is unfortunate but the points above seem more important.
OpenAI Content Moderation Is Really, Really Bad
> Growth is fueled by energy.

No, growth is a an economic concept that expresses our consumption in monetary terms. We could consume anything: 1 million $ worth of electricity is perfectly equivalent, as far as GDP growth is concerned, with a 1 million $ painting that requires 100Wh to make.

Coming from an energy, food and housing starved world, of course our growth seems to be energy driven, because that's what people will consume first when they acquire wealth. But there are strong diminishing returns, you only can eat so much and keep tidy so much floor space.

In fact, the substantial housing cost bubble in the Western world, far above the greenfield costs of new construction with similar comfort, suggests we already are not pricing the house itself, rather the abstract values it comes with, such as the surrounding community, available schools and jobs etc. There is no practical limit to the subjective value of these, and they don't need energy to inflate in relative value.
>"this story has been dug/made up purely to sell a product"

No I said that's how it reads, Its why i suspect that people are saying it's click bait.

My actual conclusion comes in the following paragraph.

This is actually interesting from a marketing perspective.

We all understand that marketing is there to sell us stuff. This is making us aware of a product, so it is in that sense at least, marketing. But then people don't like being 'sold to', at least they don't like noticing.
This takes the form of 'marketing' that we don't recognise as such, but the disjoint puts it into an uncanny valley where it annoys people more than it objectively should.

Is that un hand wavey enough?
