They do really shine during the tumble especially. Love how that adds a nice element of fun to an otherwise impressive project and writeup.

It is the ultimate cop-out to avoid having any involvement in anything. "AI said so..." then shrugs or more AI answers, ultimately removing oneself from any form of commitment to an opinion or knowledge (even partial).

This reasoning is flawed in my opinion, because at the end of the day, the software still has to be paid for (for the people that want/need to make a living out of it), and customers wallet are finite. Our attention is also a finite re

You do lose the ability to use some features, that's true. Mostly RAII around the interface. You can still leverage it internally in the implementation, and if using context objects it would be even easier. The main pain point is if

Well a big reason this is missed is people discussing it are not part of these groups and mainly saw this as an annoyance. I can agree that heavy & strict CoCs can be daunting and probably overkill for small open source projects. And th

If you don't like the scope of the license especially with regards to the legal jurisdiction it sits under, then don't use it, don't use software under EUPL license, and call it a day?

The license used for this is quite a read. Available to the world except the European Union, the UK, and South Korea Not sure what led to that choice. I'd have expected either the U.S. & Canada to be in there, or not these.

Joke aside, is there a field (or sub-fields) of mathematics that just... studies what breaking some axioms would do and where would it lead? This seems both completely stupid but also potentially fascinating at the same time.

It's interesting also how these takes consistently ignore spectacularly the environmental cost of these as well. I'm a bit on the fence myself, as I think it's very harmful, but I can also see ways it can be useful. But it&#x

$20K sounds very low for the effort and expertise that are demanded here in my opinion. It would be quite a steal to bring this to the same level as the state of the art (which, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe is dav1d?) for onl
