That cannot be true, when I install e.g., Ubuntu system, there are plenty of applications installed for me, with incompatible licenses.

I mean, both wxWidgets and Qt are fine, no? GTK 2 and 3 as well (4+ is... meh). There are plenty applications using one of these (often via python bindings). I think it is more of a staffing problem. Plenty of people know web development, s

If they are indeed conscious and they "die" by deleting the conversation, is it not quite immoral to do so? Basically "kill" conscious, intelligent being, and for what? Saving some disk space? Another interesting aspect

> unpaid overtime Through European lenses this part seems insane. It is work, so pay me for it :) Every oncall rotation I was part of ever was paid, is the "unpaid" part a US thing, or was I just lucky?

Out of curiosity, what stops you from taking a photo of a AI generated picture?

Laws can change, sure, but probably business practices will change first, since it is easier. In EU, you are entitled to money refund for online purchased goods (with some caveats ofc), but the business can (and most do) require you to send

I am very happy that we get the advent of code again this year, however I have read the FAQ for the first time, and I must admit I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind this: > If you're posting a code repository somewhere,

> that “times” is a property over the “5” object Maybe here is the confusion, ruby is based on message passing, so the `times` is a message you are sending to 5, not a property of it.

Last time I was looking into this, is there not up to an hour of delay for the billing alerts? It did not seem possible to ensure you do not run over your budget.

Yeah, the book is definitely worth the asking price.

I found https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/tramp-emacs.html#Multi_00... to be working pretty well, but it definitely took some fiddling and experimentation to get the right settings.

The thing is TRAMP also gives you a shell, not just a file access. When I am in a remote buffer, I can do M-x shell, and I will get a command line running on the remote host. What is more, since the T stands for Transparent, when I want t

One huge advantage of JQ is that it often is installed. I have jq in our Jenkins image, but I do not have this tool. The syntax is bit arcane, but once you invest bit of time into learning it, it starts to make sense (to a degree). It is

I see, I misunderstood that. I have read it as an attempt to prevent redis taking the code from valkey. However, if the intention was the other way (to allow valkey to take code from redis), valkey should just go for AGPL as well, there is

I am bit confused by the comments here. Sure, it remains to be seen whether Redis Ltd. can be trusted again, but cannot we just be a happy for a bit that we (again) have a good software under a free license?

I am not sure what that would achieve? Combining programs under GPLv3 and AGPLv3 is possible (the resulting work is under AGPLv3).

Good question. I care only about POSIX compatible shells, so the escaping just follows the POSIX rules. In practice that means it works on any actually used system except windows, which is fine with me.

Another approach is to have powerful enough language that allows you to guard against the shell injection. I wrote a syntax form allowing to do this: (sh "cat " file " >" output) With file being bound to &qu

Bit annoying is that when companies ask for a portfolio, they often mean GitHub. Lot of non-technical hiring people I discussed this with were confused by the fact that there are other ways to contribute, like mailing lists.

What I find interesting is that the project claims MIT license, but if it is "almost entirely" AI generated, I am not sure it even is copyrightable. So either the licensing terms deserve some large disclaimers, or it is not &quot
