No he does actually mention in the middle of that that while code must be free, art is different because art is not software. I guess he's imagining a situation where a game would have multiple licences (one licence for the code, a different one for the art assets).

Honestly, a colour picker is the last piece of software you should be translating names for. Even everyday colour names don't have a direct translation. The line between "blue" and "green" is very slightly different than the line between "bleu" and "vert", and the same goes for any other two languages. If you're serious about your colour picker accuracy and you want to localize to another language, it would actually be more correct to have a completely different set of colour values, rather than trying to translate them. (Though "Liquid Nyquil" may be perceived the same across languages. I haven't seen any studies on that one)

Wait, I don't see that in the article. Who's he suing now?

Is it entitlement to expect to get what was advertised from a service you pay for? If they advertise $x/month for 4k and you pay them $x/month and get 720p, that seems like a very legitimate complaint to me.

Her tweet wasn't just the Bible verse. She ended it with "You can't serve two masters. You can't serve both God and money", which is where Ben's response came from.

That and the past 2 weeks of them hand-slapping about Candace believing Israel is committing genocide and Ben (shockingly) believing Israel can do no wrong.

I love the arrogant confidently incorrect at the end of the blog.

  • The comments in the code are wrong
  • The official documentation is wrong
  • The manpage is wrong
  • Every blog article ever written is wrong
  • Linus Torvalds is wrong
  • Everyone who knows what they're talking about is wrong
  • No, I don't know how to read kernel code. Why do you ask? You're wrong
  • Shut up. You're wrong

Hm, he and his wife are getting on in years. If they want a son, they should probably get on that right away.

The scary thing? Define "new". This judgment is from a lawsuit in 2014. So any car made in at least the last 9 years is doing this. Maybe newer cars are doing even worse things.

Whoa whoa slow down with this new-fangled fad ideas. Next you'll try and tell me every user process doesn't run in ring 0.

For anyone not wanting to read through that article, here's the tl;dr:

Apache requires you to note what changes (if they're "substantial") you made to the code. Otherwise it's identical to MIT.

BSD is effectively identical to MIT.

It's a cool idea and the example they gave actually seemed pretty neat.

I'd (somewhat perversely) love to see this feature tried in a terminal emulator. ANSI does actually define escape codes for switching to alternative fonts (ESC [ 10 m through ESC [ 19 m) though I don't know of any software or even term drawing library that uses it.
