If you look at the significance of the place (The Tian'anmen is literally on the national emblem of China, and the tomb of Mao is on the square for example), it's hard to rename something that widely known. It's much easier to pull one of the events that happen there under the rug, because unlike in the west the name is associated to much more.

What? Creative Commons is good, but [it wasn't meant for code](https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-comm...), and the No-Derivative and/or Non-Commercial Licenses are specifically incompatible with free and/or open source software.

Specifically, it violates freedom 3 of the FSF definition (redistribute changes), and section 3 of the OSI definition (Derived Works). This freedom is at the core of what FOSS is.

And that's before the violation of freedom 0, "The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose" of the non commercial licenses.

I don't think this commit has anything to do with wireguard. It's a fix of a bug in the kernel TCP stack, which wireguard doesn't use. (Beware, the wireguard-linux repo is a "fork" of the complete linux kernel)

And even if it did, a userland TUN implementation of the wireguard protocol probably doesn't have the same bugs as the linux kernel one.

Looking at the supported platforms, it looks like the only one is Linux. The README has this to say about it though: "This will run on Linux; however YOU SHOULD NOT RUN THIS ON LINUX. Instead use the kernel module; see the installation page for instructions."

Similar for `sed` which is often only known and used for "replace string a by string b in input" use cases.

Sed has at least the vi users who may know ex command from the vi command mode. Awk needs to be learned for itself.

Once you start coming up with rules about how you'd do that, you're inventing a serialisation format, and you're exactly back to the problem where your original question arose.

Which is exactly what savefile does.

Plaid Layoffs 4 years ago

When I hear people talk about doing what you can to not have mass layoffs I don't think what they mean is that the company has an obligation to the employees that overrides their obligations to their shareholders

Depends on who's talking/the situation. When you hear people talking about not closing a profitable factory instead of laying people off to delocalize, that's pretty much what they mean.

Any company that doesn't do regional pricing is only interested in doing business with rich countries. Which sucks but is understandable. I wish they were more honest about it though.

This may be true if your cost per client/customer/etc is either negligible (such as with digital goods delivery), or dependent on their country (eg. retail).

Here, the bulk of their cost is computing resources, and they (according to their profile page) don't even make enough to cover it with the current price. I don't think this cost would go down with the customer location.

Yeah, it sucks a lot that people in rich countries can afford things people in other countries cannot, but that's kinda what "rich country" means.

Aside from the fact that proofs are often difficult to verify, one cannot prove what a monoid or a vector space is. They are definitions, and to make sure the ones in the article match what is used in the mathematical community, you need citations.

And yes, sometimes there are conflicts. In France, we have two competing definition of a limit (relating to wether you include the point in its neighbourhood), one being the traditional one, taught in schools, and one being the one that's become the world standard and used from university onwards.

How do you arbiter that on wikipedia without sources ?

If you treat the JWT as a random token and check whether it is valid in your central database every time, then yes, it behave like a random token and you can invalidate it very easily (just remove it from the list of valid tokens). But then, why use a JWT instead of a random token?

If you treat like it is supposed to be treated and check the cryptographic signature instead of going to a central database, then you can't invalidate it (at least before it expires). You can ask the client to remove it, but what if they don't? (eg. they are an attacker)

You can use thrust asymmetry to help with yaw, yes.

But here we're talking about unplanned sudden thrust asymmetry, causing a massive yaw force at a critical phase of flight, takeoff, where you're engines are likely to be near their full power and you're close to/on the ground.

If you go from 8 engines to 4, loosing one engine goes from causing 25% thrust loss on the wing to 50%.

"Sentez-vous ce que La Pierre cuisine ?". Qu'est-ce que juste sounds weird here (and is grammatically incorrect too).

Maybe "Est-ce que vous sentez ce que La Pierre cuisine ?" for a less formal language level.

Nah, transfer learning is when you take a trained model, and train it a little more to better fit your (potentially very different) problem domain. Such as training a cat/dog/etc recognition model on MRI scans.

The goal is usually to have the more fundamental parts of your model already working and you thus need way less domain specific data.

Here, you're not training anything, you're running the models (both the CLIP language model and the unet) in feedforward. That's just deploying your model, not transfer learning.

I don't know about this tool specifically, but rpg maker was good at making rpg maker's style of rpg (ie. traditional 2d JRPGs), not every kind of rpg.

Going toward action rpgs like Zelda III wasn't impossible, but quite difficult.

Going towards things such as baldur's gate or diablo was pretty much out of the question.
