I've been using VJS for years and can testify to its performance and ease of use. It literally took no effort to install and use.

My pleasure... :) I've really enjoyed this trip, the last five months.

The many ZeroMQ projects already govern themselves and have done so for years. So yes. Also, see C4 protocol.

Then you leave. If needed there are a host of other techniques to also use, see my psychopaths book. Doesn't require you to become like them.

It might help. I take Medrol, which definitely helps. It's a corticosteroid.

Yeah, it's true, the last five months have been a more intense sensation of living than I've ever known.

This often happens, the previous article didn't get any visibility so people post it again, not realizing. I think the old one is the dupe :-) We need a name for a "dupe that was ahead of its time."

Well, I'm steadily losing weight, down to about 65kg now from 76kg when I was diagnosed. I'm finding it harder and harder to eat, and I've steadily increased my painkillers from 10mg to 50mg or more per 12h.

So, clearly, things are not getting better. I'm dying and it is just a matter of what bed I die in, and whether it'll be a vital organ like the liver that gives up first, or euthanasia if the breathing gets too hard, and the pain too much.

What the extended horizon does is let me write a little more in that article (there are still stories to tell) and wonder if maybe it'll be enough for a book.

Weirdly the main emotion I feel is a kind of embarrassment at raising a false alarm that gets so many people worried. Also, happiness of course to still be alive and see my family & friends and chat a little more with people on the Internet :-)

It got better, I had a bad reaction to paracetamol I'd just started taking, it seems.

If you claim that copyleft is almost 'untested in court' you are either wilfully ignorant or trolling.

I explained the ways it's suboptimal, worst IME is for drive-by contributors from larger firms.

You cannot modify a work so much that the original licence no longer applies, unless you in effect create a new work.

I've fixed it. There are various models, CLA, assignment, etc. I didn't want to get into details of that.
