Unlicensed is the same as fully copyrighted. There is a presumotion of ownership. Licenses in this case serve to clarify allowable uses. Without a license, nothing is allowable as you maintain the right to do anything within a copyright holder's legal right.

Do we want to heat up the oceans that much though?

Isn't that a bit obvious? We all know about the tens of billions paid every year to maintain position. Obviously this wasn't in case Apple would segue to Bing.

The business case of building a search engine from scratch which robs you of 20b in yearly profit is very low.

How much time do you guys really need for such a course? I have then stacking up and have a list of a few dozen books and courses to go over.

I am beginning to think I'm doing this wrong, or simply don't know how to prioritize, a common modern problem of course.

Every organization differs, of course, making this difficult to usefully answer.

I have always prefered seeing senior devs as capable of architecting and implementing solutions (better yet delegating parts to juniors) such that they can launch a product themselves, where a mid level dev can launch individual features but would struggle with the complexity of choosing both an auth model and a persistence layer for it (mixing well with other persistence uses) and then what the front end should look like overall, and whether to use websockets or... and a junior can fix bugs, or work on tickets/scaffolded tasks in a productive manner.

We had seen interesting developpments around vector databases, but then people stopped hyping them as you could just save them in normal databases without real differences. I wonder what will happen when the models can freely access them though.

Does anyone have a recomended book to learn chemistry? Assuming nearly 0 knowledge retained from school.

P.s. cool that our names are so close.

Does browse also mean post/save in some way? That would potentially enable an eventual escape scenario, with memory.

I thought it was the default android podcast app, lacking ads etc. This is sad, alas...

Elixir seems to be picking up insane steam right now. Every day or two there is a fascinating Elixir post here and its promise seems too good to resist. Has anyone else latched their cart onto this horse?

You are thinking of BSD, which is far more stable than Linux for servers etc.

How do you set this up?

How could I make that clearer? I explicitly asked about what language ecosystems offer the snallest production containers and gave examples.

You can skip "echo" and let the error message output "hello world" along with extra text!

Learn Racket. It's an amazing introduction to computer science / programming. My partner has been picking it up lately having a lot of fun and learning a lot at the same time.

The best Racket textbook (Beautiful Racket) is even focused around building new languages!

I once bought socks on Amazon, which came with a note saying they would send me a free item for a good review. I then got a free electric kettle with another card. Then I got lenses which attach to a phone camera, a carjack, a foldable lawn chair, but the a raclette cheese melter didn't come with another card.

Honestly, all fine products, nothing's broken etc. and I was very happy with such an amazing value for under $10. Werw they even fake reviews?

I've been working on porting golang's net/http and gorilla/websocket libs to Racket for the past few months (I don't like the servelet model.) Does anyone have insight into how that model might not be optimal in a Scheme enviroment or how to better optimize it?
