As someone who uses BSD licensed modified code at work and relies on it quite a lot, it’s crucial to me choosing which projects I’m able to use in the first place.

Personally, I prefer a license that allows for commercial use in the way that companies need them to, and if my own work ever can provide a patch back upstream I’d be happy to do so, but most of what I do is just tweaking things that exist to suit my purposes which doesn’t really help anyone but my business rivals which I personally am not interested in doing if I don’t have to.

I prefer to have the freedom to do as I wish with the code, as compared to being bound to do as the author wishes and essentially just not using that code in the first place because I can’t. I’m not in a position to change what I can and can’t do because of the requirements of the business I work for, and I’m grateful to those that choose licenses that allow me to use their work.

They’re creating a new browser because they want to. It started as an OS building project that the lead dev did to help stay sober.

They use discord because it’s popular. Insert Ouroborus argument here, and at the end of the day it’s still the most popular app.

He would’ve liked that. He was a real nice guy, always said I had a face for radio.

As my father always said: you may be a funny person, but looks don’t count for everything.

Ah gee dang, you’re right. Thanks!

It’s a quote from a Star Wars show movie.

Yeah, but 35% of all statistics are made up.

Huh, released over a month ago

*flails arms* I am become death, destroyer of worlds! YAAAAAAAAAY!

Would you say it was the prime time of your life?

Form, not function.

And to top it all off, release codenames are Discworld references!

It’s a tethered jailbreak from what I can see, so this is more of a convenience thing. Basically untethered jailbreak for these TV owners.

It was being built before or just shortly around the time that C was being made.

Per sources found on Hacker News:

“The spacecrafts’ original control and analysis software was written in Fortran 5 (later ported to Fortran 77). Some of the software is still in Fortran, though other pieces have now been ported to the somewhat more modern C.”

There’s good discussion about it here also that may indicate that this is the ground software and was written in Fortran V, not Fortran 5. To my mind though, C was still far too new at the time for it to be the smart choice here, and I’d assume custom assembly along the lines of what was needed for the AGC is needed here.

Well, the tech behind the computer suggests the lack of a compiler, for one thing. I’d doubt very much that there’s even an assembler.

You’re right, the people who do already know deserve to learn something special too.

Here’s my personal favorite mix that they’ve done. Not a lot of people who know them have heard it, but it’s absolutely stellar.

It can be, sure. But when used in a limited manner where it makes sense it can be the more readable option. I’ve used it in a try/catch to retry the operation after changing a variable. One label (“reconnect”), one goto, totally easy to understand on a surface level.

I’ve seen people be coy about antisemitism, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone “*wink wink* know what I mean?” about gender regarding teslas. Wild.
