And from the WTAF dept, quite a bombshell from ProPublica today: "Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel — leaving some of the nation’s most sensitive data vulnerable to hacking from its leading cyber adversary, a ProPublica investigation has found." "The arrangement, which was critical to Microsoft winning the federal government’s cloud computing business a decade ago, relies on U.S. citizens with security clearances to oversee the work and serve as a barrier against espionage and sabotage." "But these workers, known as “digital escorts,” often lack the technical expertise to police foreign engineers with far more advanced skills, ProPublica found. Some are former military personnel with little coding experience who are paid barely more than minimum wage for the work."

re: Long thread/59
Allright, now everything looks clear. The license covers a minor part of the puzzle, the majority should bento enable users to extend your program as an explicit goal of free software.re: Long thread/59

re: Long thread/59
When you say this: Do you also literally mean it in a technical sense? So creating software using languages and tools with the explicit objective of allowing, as easily as possible, users to work on it?re: Long thread/59
Build software where extending, modifying, and redistributing modified versions of the software are easy things that most users are at least able to do, even if they don't need to most of the time.

re: Long thread/59
Oh, now I get it (again?). You are right and I fell on the trap of distinguishing between developers and users. Because of course I think (badly) as a programmer. I will think about the rest of your message and I thank you for clarifying the perspective!re: Long thread/59

re: Long thread/59
Oh, I get your point (I think). However, at least the EUPL removes the issues around using code licensed as such. But I agree that when it comes to extending a program under that license, people have a bunch of legalese still to understand. Speaking for myself, I had issues with the former, where redistributing some GPLv3 code, unmodified really meant understanding what was going on. The EUPL simplifies on that front. However it's true. The concept of copyleft is not something social norms fully agreed upon and thus, it's strange for many developers.re: Long thread/59

re: Long thread/59
In fact I don't understand many arguments given by the FSF about licensing. Looks a bit too abstract to me and that's probably because I'm stupid. In the end, I've found the EUPL (European Union Public License) to be a better copyleft license than the GPL. I have issues with the latter and, after years I'm still unable to understand when and how I can combine artifacts with different licenses with something released as GPLv3. At least the EUPL has the following properties: For projects that I don't care at all, I use the ISC license. For some bigger things I'm working on, the EUPL still allows you to use the code however you wish as I like to just give it away, but to me, it's then nice to get some code back for something I've spent a lot of time on. That's the thing the EUPL gives me:re: Long thread/59

A me piace la Happy Cola! Contiene anche erbe, che non sono male. Parentesi: In repubblica Ceca si beve la Kofola, che cazzo è buona! Inoltre ha poco zucchero rispetto alla Cola occidentale. In ogni caso, voto anch'io per birra. Del vino decente ha davvero prezzi fuori di testa.

Serious question: how could they not verify it? It's either an idiotic engineering problem on their end or I'm terrified that security is meaningless. Probably both.

Holy cow, as an American, I wasn't aware of the Horizon IT scandal. ~1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, imprisoned, and forced to repay tens of thousands of pounds. 13 of them committed suicide! But it was an IT error! AI will make this worse.

My website (and blog) ia back online at: I did it because breaking people links if they reference your content is never nice. So, as a good internet kid, the site is back up in a strictly static fashion. I will not add new content to it for now and also, currently the RSS feed is no more, but given you'll not see articles for a bit, you're not gonna lose your sleep, right? I'm working on a new project that'll host everything in the future, that's why I don't have time to write. Plus, ehhhhh....
Ok a stopgap solution

Crappy mouses are a pain. I've spent, years ago, some good money on an evoluent vertical mouse 4. Best money spent ever. I used to also have some minor pain due to the mouse, but I noticed that it was because: Buying a good vertical mouse, rightly sized along with a good keyboard made miracles
