  • Sounds like a flawed workflow, if this didn’t go through at least code review. Was it committed directly to master?

    Curious to know what kind of system relies on hashed not changing? Technically the hashes don’t change, but a new set of commits is made. The history diverges, and you can still keep the old master if you need it for some time, even cherry pick patches to it…




  • This gives legal backing to any lawsuits against ai companies.

    Currently everything on the Internet is assumed to be free. Robots.txt is just a suggestion and not legally enforceable. I assume RSL is supposed to communicate terms of use explicitly, like a EULA.

    It’s like open source licenses on github. Sure you can access the source, but here are the rules you have to follow. Yes, a lot of companies still ignore it, notably GNU licensed software has been abused by the likes of Apple.








  • Makes perfect sense. If you’re checking if a collection is empty you don’t need to know its exact size. Getting the size can be very inefficient in collections like linked lists or trees, if you have to follow all nodes. To check if it’s empty, all you need fo know if at least one item exists. If one does, there’s no point counting the rest.

    People who don’t understand the difference will probably not understand the difference between passing a list and passing an literator/generator to any() .
