Yes, not sure if this is the case but higher courts in civil law systems tend to have some precedent setting powers. It's just more limited than in common law. I'm not sure if this is the case in this ruling in france, but even if it isn't

In a civil law system judges still are aware of previous decisions in similar cases and consistent application of the law is still a principle which exists. The precedent might not be binding but a judge who is in doubt will still uses existing case law and so will appeal courts. They will just always refer to the law as the source of the decision, not the previous cases
Yeah, nobody wants dollars anymore, they’re doomed. If you still have any laying around, you should wire them to me and I’ll dispose of that junk for free.
It can't be that bad considering they actually delivered and achieved the goal of an entirely free Unix clone.
The 'space age' was ahead of its time. And I don't mean that in a positive way: 'putting a clown on the moon' (to quote Tom Lehrer) was an enormously expensive project with 1960s technology for at best questionable utility. (Apart from winning a pissing contest with the Soviets.)

Similar for the Concorde.

Nowadays, we would be much better placed to put people in space. But fortunately we are perhaps wiser (or perhaps forced to be wiser against our own impulses), and are still not lining up to re-ignite manned space flight.

I'm all for space exploration, but manned space exploration does not (yet?) make sense, and neither does space tourism so far.
This feels a little click baity. I am sure there are tons of exploity software repos on github as well. Need to use some common sense and protect yourself and report things that seem off.

I guess it might be surprising to some that code from HF can have exploits just like GH.
I have a "wrong but useful" answer on Stack Exchange. It was one of those numerous times where I realized I was trying to solve the problem the wrong way; once I realized that if I flipped the question around the answer was obvious and useful for my scenario.

I figured there likely would be others in my situation so I posted an answer "if you flip the question the answer is obvious and might be useful, depending on your situation".

I guess it was, because it gets a bunch of upvotes. But the high score for a wrong answer infuriates some people, so it also gets lots of down votes and comments too.

My answer doesn't answer the question asked and is definitely not helpful for those who can't flip the question. Does it belong on the site?

The lesson is to work on topics that are used by billions and make something small and useful, that is hard to replicate and thus worth a buyout.
> That’s ok, but you can’t hand wave away that GPL, especially v3+, is about protecting and defending the user (like tron), while MIT/BSD is not, by calling it “vague notions of fairness” as if GPL hasn’t already seen wins in the courts… on this point I think some research might be due for me though.

It sacrifices the user's freedoms for this. Which is exactly the concern corporate lawyers have with this. Fine if that's what you want but the net result tends to be the vast majority of big companies pretending your project does not exist. Can't look, can't touch, can't use, etc. If a blanket ban on your project across most commercial users is what you are after, AGPL does the job.
> It's still wild to me how they managed to get people to argue against the freedom to install whatever they want on their device.

This isn't because of Apple, or at least it isn't in my case.

Even as an iPhone app developer with the means to do so whenever I want, and even though I find Apple's content restrictions derisory and "big brother"-y, I actively don't want a system that can install "whatever".

This is due to all the malware everywhere on the internet, and owing to this unfortunate reality, also means I think it is unwise even to have 3rd party libraries as project dependencies. I have an entire spare computer dedicated to learning scientific python because I don't feel I can rely on the absence of vulnerabilities in the stuff.

This makes me sad. I miss the old days of 2002 where I didn't feel any reason to worry about random apps from random websites. But part of my carefree youth was that I had a Performa 5200 running OS 8, which wasn't a popular targets for malware authors, and another big part was that my bank didn't have an app.

But before someone replies to point out that malware gets past the App Store tests: yes, of course it does, I see all this as a "defence in depth" strategy, not a silver bullet.

Depends on what you want. For me the X1 is better because it's lighter, and that's what I care mostly about.
But I also have a X1 Nano and an Air m2. The Nano is the smallest and lightest, but its keyboard is too small for my hands. The Air is to heavy and the keyboard is a far cry compared to both X1C and X1N.

The X1C is a sweet spot that got better with G12: lighter and likely not so hot and quieter.

Still, the X1C could get even better with AMD CPUs, but that's likely only wishful thinking.
To be pedantic, you can't actually violate the GPL. You infringe on the owner's copyrights if your actions don't fall in the GPL's allowed actions.
I agree but it needn't inherently be this way, I think it's mostly influenced by the incentives of the site.

Asking questions about X very specific thing on Y very specific version of Z specific technology should have answers that can be correct forever, as well as being very searchable.

However, the setup of the site is such that questions like that aren't rewarded, for all the reasons we are familiar with. Instead effort and attention tend to funnel towards very generic, high level, sometimes even tech agnostic questions that accrue hundreds to thousands of upvotes and orders of magnitude more views.

Unfortunately for these, the 'right' or most appropriate answers of course very much moreso change in time.

Young devs won't believe it, but until the early 2000s, most companies used source control systems that forced you to LOCK any file on a centralized repo before you were allowed to modify it (MS's SourceSafe, ClearCase, Perforce)... This was often the case even if you just wanted to touch a file locally for some experimentation... insane.

So, at a customer site (while I was doing consulting for them), I couldn't stand it anymore (I had been using CVS myself since 1997). So I installed SVN to work on their project and showed it to the team. I was called an "irresponsible engineer"... "Modifying files without locking is a crazy! You don't do that on real engineering teams!"

The open-source world was at least 10 years ahead.
I remember swapping back to a yellowed 24x drive from a newer 72x back in the day. The 72x could copy large files faster but the time it took to spin up meant if I was reading an single file (like with a games CD check) the latency was horrible and it sounded like a jet engine while doing it. The 24x was much quieter and quicker to spin up. Honestly, even moderate file transfers didn't seem any faster once you accounted for the spin up to me but that just a feeling. I imagine the teeth chattering sound biased me against that drive.

I think the 72x drives were really just another example of "big number marketing" that was even more prevalent in desktop PCs back then than it is now.
>That sounds like a serious win for your colleagues.

I guess if you consider being ignorant a win or purposefully wanting to hinder your co-workers your goal

>Sounds like you should fix your documentation, automation and onboarding problems then?

Good luck with that. You can document all you want, but there is no way to document everything relative and keep it up to date and have it in a format where it is easily accessible.

Sounds to me you have never been part of a bigger project. These are the naive things newbies think will solve things.

That's great, but it doesn't apply to this situation in a literal sense, so I interpreted it figuratively.

If you're going to police the figurative use of words, why don't you go after the parent poster for describing the situation as "barbaric"?

Our (mostly) democratically elected leaders and regulators are protecting the EU citizens by imposing fines on misbehaving organizations. That's unquestionably civilized behavior.

>and pays Apple nothing for the services that have helped make them one of the most recognizable brands in the world.

It says a lot that the €100 developer fee (I'd imagine Spotify pay for multiple licences in multiple countries) that Apple consider it nothing. It probably is 'negligible' given the size of Spotify but also don't even consider highly popular apps like Spotify 'contributing' to App Store ecosystem that has also helped Apple.

Their press statements are starting to become more and more snarky. They would do better to keep their chin up and keep going. This sort of snark is more befitting of Ryanair than Apple.

If Apple wanted to destroy Spotify they would simply drop prices by 30%, and Spotify would be unable to compete with that pricing because of the Apple tax.

Why should Apple have that much leverage? They didn't even "build the platform", they took an Open Source platform, put the Apple logo to it, and then proceeded to EEE like good old Microsoft.

Apple is in the wrong here, or they charge the Apple tax to music apps, or they have Apple music. They can't have both.

OTOH, I don't see Apple paying 30% of their revenue to the Open Source maintainers that made "the platform" possible.
Nascar driver caught wearing an amphibious-like glove in a cheating violation
It's actully a 15 year old law (in it's current name, originally from 1958). From the article:

> Today's decision concludes that Apple's anti-steering provisions amount to unfair trading conditions, in breach of Article 102(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU')
Apple is predatory on a level that 1990s Microsoft could not have dreamed of, which is all enabled by Windows being an open platform while iOS is locked down with strict technical measures.

Microsoft would make competition harder by bundling "good enough" versions of competing software into Windows, with business deals restricting pre-installs of competing operating systems (if you pre-install Windows on 100% of machines, you'll get a massively better deal than when installing on it on 95%), and (arguably) by making interoperability harder by not having stable documented interfaces and having the interfaces change with new releases every few years.

That was bad. But Apple... Apple hasn't been just making competing harder, but outright impossible. It's one thing to compete against a free pre-installed product. It's another thing to try to compete when the platform owner straight out forbids you from shipping a product that competes with them, or applies draconian business terms to the competition that their own business units get to ignore. They weren't just making interoperability harder by not documenting interfaces, but (in the case of iMessage) by actively breaking any attempt to interoperate.
China doesn't want to invade. It thinks of Taiwan like a rebellious child who will one day return home. Chinese leaders well understand that invasion would be catastrophic, both on a realistic level of money and loss of life, and more importantly on a symbolic level. It may invade but it does not wish to do so.

I was surprised that SQ was the only third party airline to have its livery on Concorde, as I saw plenty of pictures of Concordes with Braniff livery on on side.

Well, I did remember correctly that the service operated from Dallas (to NY or Washington). Subsonic only, and with lots of crazy adaptation to fit the crazy laws, like changing the aircraft registration number on each flight.

But all those pictures I saw were advertising drawings: https://www.heritageconcorde.com/braniff-airways-concorde-op...
It's extremely entertaining to see people here arguing that programming and software interfaces should be copyrightable and therefore protected by the GPL.

I can answer that question, as both the author of Pijul and as someone most Rust zealots usually don't like very much.

Nothing magical in Rust, at the time it was the only language that worked seamlessly on Windows and Linux, and made it easy to manipulate on-disk datastructures, which is what makes Pijul fast. The new take on version control that Pijul brings can be roughly described as seeing "files with conflicts" as a CRDT. It was therefore crucial to be able to manipulate complicated datastructure without loading anything, and Rust seemed to let us do that without having to do C++ and spend our time debugging allocation issues in our tricky algorithms, while never being really confident that we were done.

The library I wrote for this, called Sanakirja, is actually faster than the fastest C equivalent, but this isn't because "Rust is magical", far from it.
Spotify can also manufacture their own device and sell to consumer. Nobody is forcing them to be on iOS.
It’s interesting how much variation there are for suburbs. I’m mostly used to the types that exist in CA which are very different from what you describe and I am personally trying to avoid settling on. Also as someone who lives in a “large city hell-hole”, I personally greatly prefer it to the suburbs I grew up in. Fwiw a lot of the urbanism movement I’m familiar with prefer rural areas and cities over suburbs. You’re right that cities can’t exist without rural areas and the idea is to make more areas rural, not decrease it. The main issue that is brought up is suburban sprawl, which I think is different from what you’re describing. I think the main idea is to avoid cities like LA and prefer more density like Chicago or NYC.
Androids can't run the SW developed for iOS same how X86 PCs built at home can run the SW developed for X86 PCs sold by Dell/Compaq nor can you sell you iOS SW you developed for Apple HW outside of Apple's SW garden.

I think you're taking all of the decisions that led up to the success of the iPhone for granted. For instance, if this path is such a no-brainer, why doesn't Microsoft install a walled garden of their own? It's not due to the beneficence of their hearts.

Something that is a surefire success in one platform is not necessarily a surefire success in another. Which is why saying in hindsight "this is monopolistic behavior!" is such a silly thing to do.

Thanks for pointing this out, it's an important aspect of comment sections. Honestly, I'm still at the stage of figuring out how to deal with this. As of the moment, the only control I have is to delete individual feeds that don't classify as a personal website or spam.

An idea I have is to implement a publicly-viewable ban list. Possibly a file like `bans.txt` available in the public repo which anyone can discuss and add suggestions. This will be a list of domains which Bhread and other instances can reference as an 'ignore' list.

I'm open for ideas. I'm still looking for other options.

It was $250M, a public acknowledgment of continued Office for Mac development, and the announcement of Internet Explorer for Mac gave investors, business buyers, and developers confidence in Apple.

The $250M was largely symbolic, everyone knew that.

I think it depends on whether someone has actually explicitly asked you for advice or not.

If they have, then you should be careful to consider their position regarding this decision.

But if they haven't actually asked, then probably best to not advise which decision to make. I would think that trying to help _them_ make the decision would be a good thing to do, though.
