Don’t think TeX ever did that, that was a “simple” Pascal program. Lisp Machines though.. updating the operating system was by loading bunch of compiled files that replaced currently loaded functions in memory. Then again, Lisp Machines whe

You need to go back a few more hundreds of years, hunk is an old term that just means "small piece of something larger". It has been in common usage in computing since long before 1985 .. for a really interesting and obscure way h

How cold is cold? :-) Water below ”sea” level tends to stay around -1C (salt water) to 4C. Below that, water becomes ice… Ambient temperature can drop to -40C … internally these ice blocks hoover around -10C.

The key here is “based on Portland cement”, which is generally has water repellent added to it making it water proof. Normal cement, concrete .. Is a different story.

Fun fact. DIRED pre-dates EMACS. DIRED on ITS is also similar enough to today’s DIRED.

The details of lexical scope where defined in Algol 60 (1960), nearly 2 decades before Rabbit (1978). People did know how to implement things back then, and TeX is a great example of that. It is just our definitions have changed over the y

This a common thing shared with the Nordics. The English term would be “meteorological spring”. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A5r_i_Sverige The definition would certainly work in English countries, seeing it is j

In Sweden, you're allowed to film/photograph in public without the need for any consent. There is (in general) no expectation of privacy in public in Europe. How you can use the material though, is a different matter ...

It was suggested by Tom Lord (RIP), who used it heavily long before he wrote GNU Arch. File names or directories starting with a comma where considered “junk”, and ones with a plus sign I think where considered “precious”.

Thanks for the link; sadly none of the links to the repo can be viewed to see what exactly occurred. To those downvoting, curious why? Many of the links are not viewable, since GitHub hides them, so any discussion becomes quite tricky.

Incorporating compatible code, under different license is perfectly OK and each work can have different license, while the whole combined work is under the terms of another. I'm honestly quite confused what FFmpeg is objecting to here,

I think maybe you're mixing up distribution and running a program, at least taking your initial comment into account, "if you train/run/use a model, it must be open source".

In the context of Free Software, yes. Freedom one is about the right to study a program.

That is not really correct, the GNU GPL doesn't have any terms whatsoever on how you can use, or modify the program to do things. You're free to make a GNU GPL program do anything (i.e., use). I suggest a careful reading of the G

by amszmidt 10mo ago
Because it would violate freedom zero. Adding such terms to the GNU GPL would also mean that you can remove them, they would be considered "further restrictions" and can be removed (see section 7 of the GNU GPL version 3).

It isn't the difficult, a license that forbids how the program is used is a non-free software license. "The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0)."

”No association” and “I am not a representative” are quite different things to say.

MIT System 99 was made after the first LMI release, which was based on MIT System 98 (and even slightly older releases) - which removed the flag bit. See the release notes here https://tumbleweed.nu/lm-3/sys-msg/sy

Note however, that you can't use diff on binaries, [...] You absolutely can, but you need to use an external diff tool: fossil diff --command "compare" You can also customise the diff-command variable. You
