Hard no. Please stop using open source code if this is how you think of it.

Without licenses being respected, we don't get open source communities.

Re:The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry on Wednesday November 02, 2022 @02:31PM (#33440735)
Employers just need to pay more, the devs will appear.
It means that the drivers likely have a giant 'firmware' which is really just a closed source driver loaded into the chip, but with a nicer api for the kernel to program against
We've collectively decided that the old way is not good enough.

"I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further."

I'll come to the office if paid X times current wage to make it worthwhile, and the company wasn't willing to pay the premium.

We did re-negotiate, en masse. This is why the office is no longer an expectation.

I don't know about your org, but I had a conversation with my manager, and all my reports had a conversation with me about it. This worked it's way up the org chart until the CEO understood what the new reality was.

I guess hiring for contracts routes around arbitrary headcount limits.
Re:We reduced our server costs by moving away from AWS on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @03:46PM (#33012326)
and they had trouble moving workloads to the cloud because bringing up new capacity was a giant set of circular microservice dependencies
After reading all that I'm pretty convinced to vote nemothekid, just from sheer repetition
Australia is kind of a fortress, just by being so physically far away from most places. All the important population centers are far to the south, so the north becomes a continent sized staging area for battle
Re:Apple to move to RISC-V from Arm for supporting cores on Friday September 16, 2022 @07:32PM (#32873375)
I guess with ARM they can either design their own cores, or buy arm's, but not other arm architecture licence holders. With riscv they can do their own design or choose from a larger list of competing vendors
Re:Apple to move to RISC-V from Arm for supporting cores on Friday September 16, 2022 @06:56PM (#32873086)
I wonder what their motivation is, perhaps their arm architecture license terms make it worth it for reducing royalties
I think a 1-line amendment would be one of the more plausible amendments to pass.

"No person may be inaugurated as President if they are 70 years or older on the day of the election"

Neither party or area of the country would be impacted any more than any other, so there's no partisan angle. Just a few older politicians would be excluded.

Talking politics is an immediate way to turn the conversation sour in today's climate unless you already know they'll agree with you.

Re:Amid chip shortages, companies bet on RISC-V on Friday August 26, 2022 @03:13PM (#32611543)
The (good) riscv cores designs that implement the spec aren't free, it's the ISA spec that is free.

There are some open source riscv cores, but the paid ones make money for a reason
