Didn’t they just cut the funding?

Valid question. You can ask this about many things:

Would the Internet as we know it exist if Facebook, AOL, and Yahoo had united to create a walled garden?

Would Macbooks as we know them today exist without an open source ecosystem? Would the company Appke exist? Would there be an iPhone?

Would the web exist without Linux? Both developed at the same time, 1991 till now, and most stuff runs on Linux servers.

Would the people who build all the hardware and software even be interested in computers had they not played with (build) computers in the 90ies? What if we had given them an iPad aith CandyCrush that just works; and not BIOS codes, cables, extension cards and drivers?

“Is this the work of an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group posing as military builders? Or is it the work of some alternatively gifted characters, portraying the frantic activity of constructing defensive structures in a strategic direction”

Poetry.

And that is with shit rail infrastructure. Guess what would happen if we’d actually invest in rails?

UV proof t-shirt for midday swimming

Like a swimsuit but covers shoulders and arms. If you get sunburned easily, this can save your skin. Sunscreen works, but it’s not perfect in the water. Most people don’t use one, but then most people have unhealthy bright red sunburns

While 1.000 or 1,000 can be read as 1 or 1000.

Not legal advice, just an idea.

Publish early and frequently (e.g. on github with a license statement) and encourage others to clone it. Now the code is out there. You can’t take it back. Even better if the funding agency explicitly approves this.

You can still dual-license, later, i.e. use a more permissive (or different) license if the agency or a research partner requires this. Just make sure the repo with your preferred licence stays available and uptodate.

The license is less important than you think. OSS projects live as long as there is at least one maintainer.

Not an expert, not an insider. Just commenting to inform about what i know.

When wayland was designed, security was a concern and it was handled differently than in X decades ago. That is good.

Under X any application can be a screenreader and see your data. This was okay when you trusted everything on your machine, but is a problem today.

Under wayland’s original design, no application could be a screenreader. That’s bad. It took way too long to agree on how to make exceptions to the rule, e.g. for screen readers, screen sharing in video calls, etc.

Well, it coincides. There’s a possibility that this announcement is sending a message.

On the surface, the decision was about national debt and budget, and has nothing to do with Ukraine except that there’s no infinite money glitch.

It’s dead.

I learned it in German in Germany. Do we have evidence from the francophone world? Latam? China?

The only reason trains are not self-driving is humans designed the whole system in a too complicated way. Trains had all the ingredients for safe self-driving for decades.

Still waiting for the day my education pays off.

Yes, but it feels longer with all the traffic jams.

Not sure about Russian units, but in the west, the acceleration towards earth aka gravity aka what happens when you stand to close to a window while not cheering for Putin is 9.81m/s^2.

Not sure what 9.8 square metres is…
