I've seen a lot of takes on the GPL but this is a new one to me. As another comment points out, you only have to make changes available to others if you make the software itself available to others; either by distributing a binary or b

There's a pretty big difference between notarization on macOS and what's being described here.

Good one. People making half a million dollars every year are just a few steps away from slavery because they're paying 50% in taxes.

"OpenAI is close to becoming a necessity and a human right" is the wildest claim I have heard yet about AI. (Though it's possible that maybe someday I will agree with this).

Or maybe it's because forcibly moving people to the middle of nowhere isn't something most people would consider acceptable.

Do you know how effective rehab is for people who don’t go voluntarily? The unfortunate reality of drug addiction is that even for people who want out it’s very hard. For people who don’t, it’s quite a lot harder. If there was a magic pill

You seem really intent in your comments on this post to conflate drug addiction and homelessness, which are overlapping but definitely separate issues. Also, there are housing assistance programs for everyone who makes less than a certain a

I don’t know how relevant this story is to the question of whether people who are homeless in California are from California. In any case, the claim was made that the LAHSA data showed something which I found no evidence of, and in fact fou

L.A.H.S.A.’s 2019 homeless count found that 64 percent of the 58,936 Los Angeles County residents experiencing homelessness had lived in the city for more than 10 years. Less than a fifth (18 percent) said they had lived out of state before

This is an often repeated and false claim.

Conflating homelessness with mental issues is as much a lack of real engagement on the issue as your critique of the OP. Homelessness is primarily a function of housing costs, so I'd suggest the land value tax is a lot more relevant th

I don't really understand the point you are making. "I'm not arguing for work requirements... But I don't think its insane to require people to work." So, you are in favor of work requirements then? This article has

I think there's a small but growing group of people in the JS ecosystem that are beginning to explore a more "platform native" approach to front-end development, which removes the need for bundlers and transpilers and embrace

They can, but that doesn't mean they are right. Controlled Digital Lending is not an "obvious" mistake, and contrary to what people on HN keep saying, the emergency library program is not what this case is about. It also does

Seems to me like the Internet Archive can determine for itself what it's job is, and they've determined that this is in fact part of their core mission. Your perception that their purpose is solely to archive the Internet is at od

Are you designing for LLM to LLM communication, or do you still expect humans to understand and work with this language?

I totally agree. I loved that you could understand more or less the entire language's set of additions to C by reading one relatively short document. JavaScript used to have the same appeal, before it started evolving. Despite the roug

What would you propose changing for this specific issue? Would you still consider it broken if deno supports, e.g. `import * as flat from " https://mycustom.com/x/flat@0.0.15/mod.ts ";`?
