How does that work? It doesn't look like ! is a command or shell builtin, so I guess it's an argument to if.

Of course; those are freedoms 0 and 1 guaranteed by the license. It seems like "use" sometimes means "include in a downstream software package and redistribute modified versions of".

My favourite example of this is using an en dash for a relationship between two separate things, rather than the more closely-connected compound adjective of a hyphen. Italian–American relations: foreign relations between the governments of

I thought it was about a comma? But the book discusses all kinds of punctuation.

Even that part is kind of misleading. Making the software open source doesn't mean that the subscription service has to shut down; those are two different decisions. But maybe we don't have to be too critical. I tend to read &qu

In that range, just returning x would be way better. Maybe even perfect actually - if x is less than 10^-16, then the error of x^3/6 is less than the machine precision for x.

I use Document Viewer (org.sufficientlysecure.viewer). I haven't compared it to the others but it's pretty good.

It might still be a biased sample. Probably most people on this website regardless of gender are interested in science and technology.

The amount of available space isn't the only benefit of using only one staircase. It also means the units can face outward in multiple directions and there's a more central common area.

One might imagine it'd be a draw after the fifth move, but the position after 1. e4 e5 is different from the position after 5. Ke1 Ke8, because of castling rights. So the threefold repetition doesn't occur until after 6. Ke2 Ke7.

Not really. I made the comment overly simplistic, probably 15 or 16 is a fine age to be allowed to start working.

Paying poverty wages is wrong, and child labour is wrong. They don't cancel each other out.

Even the blog title seems to be about interruption.

Why does the C preprocessor need the #elif syntax at all? C doesn't have it, it just achieves "else if" by embedding the second if statement inside the else clause. But maybe that wouldn't work in the preprocessor?

I think a sort of reversed drop chess would be interesting: start with just a king each, and each turn you can either make a normal move or place one of your fifteen other pieces on its starting square.

How do you make that history? Something like an alias for cd that pushes them onto a queue?

Maybe unmodified AGPL software can be run as a network service without providing the source code because the source code is already available from the original author.

Of course, what's actually not good for you is having to work twelve hours a day. Leisure time isn't the problem.

What I'm thinking of would affect freedom 3 more than freedom 0. I guess by "use" I meant "incorporate in another program". But I still think it counts as free and open source because it doesn't actually prohib

It'd be interesting to see a license that's permissive for non-commercial use and copyleft for commercial use. Or maybe the copyleft kicks in when the commercial derivative work starts earning a certain amount of money. It would b

The unfair coin that can't be more likely to give two different results than two the same assumes that each flip has the same probabilities (so k doesn't depend on how many times you flipped it or what you got). Which is fair, but

It leaves me wondering, is that data fundamentally impossible to collect, or do we just not know how yet? Sure, maybe the problem is unsolvable by math alone but that doesn't make it mathematically unsolvable. Maybe we could build or c

That style of using full width characters for emphasis might be called vaporwave, or at least related to it. V A P O R W A V E ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporwave

Point taken, but it might be a bit better than literally being forced to use Facebook, if the Libra currency becomes ubiquitous. Governments controlling the economy doesn't sound too bad if the alternative is one or two huge companies

What does it mean for the RISC/CISC thing to be dead? The distinction between them is more blurred than it used to be?
