Let's consider which are the hard parts of verifying that remote code is safe. Useful verifiers exist. Coq is a state-of-the-art verifier for a large class of propositions. It hasn't been easy to create. Its design is not frozen.

Which wiki engine do you have in mind? There certainly is revision control in MediaWiki, Confluence, and others. Granted, I wouldn't use those in place of a source code revision control system such as git. There are generally no "

I think there's something relevant going on with search optimization, or if you prefer, marketing and advertising. A Wikipedia user who is somewhat active just now is using mentions of the website to boost the references to a particula

You can use 7zip to archive, compress, and AES-256 encrypt. You can also use GnuPG or openssl to encrypt a file or a disk image. Lately I took a look at actual filesystems for cross-platform use. I didn't find a great one, but dependin

I agree. A counterargument is that you're inherently taking advantage of the processor(s) and the operating system, not to mention, ha ha, every single component and factor that you did not personally create, whether or not it is compu

My bad. It's not a lawyer term. I really don't know enough to be clear and accurate about that point.

I applaud your point that harassment is largely a clear violation of norms, not a gradation on a spectrum of relaxed behavior. May I respectfully take issue though with the turn of phrase "we shouldn't need women to tell us"?

Can someone explain why GPG in the person of Werner Koch isn't substantially funded under FSFE? My first thought was the Software Freedom Conservancy. The only reasons I see for them not to take GPG under their wing are lack of will (b

There's a very clear exposition and implementation in the book and code library _The Stanford Graphbase_. It's reasonably simple for the computer. It's not so simple for the algorithm designer.

Well, small production runs are sensible with 3D printing. I suppose what you're noting is that the 3D model is not shared with you. That web page doesn't mention the mechanism being protected by any current patents. Maybe there&#
