  • God beware someone posting the solution to the problem. ¯(ツ)

  • Depends on the implementation: I liked Eve Onlines model where, yes, you had to pay the sub but your character would train skills even while offline.So at least to me there was less of this classical fear of missing out.

  • Where would one get a 3d face scan from? For my part, I don't have a scanning rig set up anywhere.

  • It is not about the code line by line, but the functionality that OP created for their employer. And yes it is not clear-cut in the sense that in Oracle vs. Google it was AFAIK decided that the idea of the toString Method does not fall under copyright. However, a software that fills a specific need for a company and is then re-implemented/released by an employee? You can bet your ass you are in for at least a lengthy battle in court.

  • Doesn't matter if you write it in code or chisel it on a stone tablet. It is still the companies intellectual property.

    Think of it this way: You film a movie which for whatever reason doesn't get published. This doesn't give you the permission to write a book containing the same story, just in writing. The story is still owned by the film studio. The same reason applies to published material: You are not allowed to write a Star Wars story without approval from Disney, the copyright holder. Fan fiction exists in a gray zone for exact this reason.

  • Not a lawyer but from my understanding of intellectual property: You wrote it on company time, so it is the companies code. Publishing it without explicit approval would be copyright infringement.

  • Well, I can't think of an English example from the top of my head, but in German the words for Pear and (light) bulb are the same. So there are some exotic use cases.

  • Am I missing the joke? Tomatoes are fruits.

  • Alps? No traffic? Mate, have you ever tried crossing the Alps during holiday season?

  • Why would you hold an election, particularly if he’s doing a good job of it?

    Well, that's up for debate and should be decided by the people. As you said: It's a slippery slope and I'll add the way to hell is paved with good intentions.

  • treat them well

    Who is them? The general population? Oh my sweet summer child. The Russians just pay more to the higher ups in those countries. They do not give a flying fuck about the people. They want access to the various resources in the region.

    they could be fought off.

    You want to get rid off a corrupt government by using ... checks notes. .. your own corrupt government? There will always be another rat that's willing to work with the Russians which the Russians in turn will support in taking over from your guys.

  • Looks fascinating! But since we are talking about Australia: How does it kill you?

  • Same reason I try to get my GF to ditch her iPhone.

  • TBF I not sure why "I like it when Nazis let me know who they are" is supposed to be a "shitty take". Especially here in Germany. Becoming a state official requires a "commitment to the liberal democratic basic order" which a Nazi can't give. So let them exclude themselves from state jobs. One might plead ignorance, protesting next to a guy with a "Reichskriegsflagge". That's a lot harder with when it's the swastika.

  • Oh, cool! I didn't know that, even though I've contributed before. Thanks for mentioning!

  • In case you didn't know: Ultimate Guitar only makes it look as you could only print/download the PDF with the subscription. Scroll down to the end of the tab/chords and there's a small print button.

    Of course, you still can't get the official stuff, but in my experience there's always one that sounds very close to the original.

  • cargo is the package manager for the Rust language
