The "right to copy" is a made up concept. Just sayin'...

we would be elephants or whales? (sorry couldn't resist)

Loyalty is one of the strongest qualities of Spaniards. Or curses. Depends on the occasion I guess. But the saying "ser más papista que el papa" (to be more pro-pope than the pope himself) is not said by chance in Spain.

In the age of spaghetti-mixed Web Components, remember kids you can still be good with yourselves and properly split your Web Apps into individual CSS, JS, and HTML templates files, even going framework-less.

Keep the Zen Torch on.

If? never been married, right? PS. You may think of your credit card as your "venom", so you won't get eat alive in a divorce process lol

Hope this law doesn't become into a peasant-trap. But my gut is telling me that... that's exactly what it is. ("This and that is forbidden EXCEPT to us because blah blah blah")

Great example, a two bytes reboot utility. From the times when we could turn off the computer with a push of a button without fearing a global catastrophe...

INT 13h... uff chills

These challenges are funny - they remind me of the old days. Back in the DOS/Windows days, we used to have the .com format, which was perfect for tiny programs. One could even write a program of less than 10 bytes that could actually do something!

We've come a long way since then, and is like, at some point, nobody cared about optimizing executable size anymore

2023: Our tiny model blah blah blah beats GPT4!

2024: Our tiny model blah blah blah beats Claude!

2025: Our tiny model blah blah blah beats ???

We are not in control either of the nukeclear power which is available for quite a few nations, since a lot of decades now, as well. Soo... c'mon cheer up most probably is some kind of simulation anyway.

Disagreed. 1/0 should be infinity, and computers should be able to handle these concepts. Just look into what is 1/0.00000000000[etc]1. And no is not an error, you find out with a very real and tangible example, when you are developing a 3D engine and you want to make the camera to look at vector [ 0, 0, 0 ]. Quick resume: You can't, you need to force add a slight displacement so you can skip this silly error.

Yet another chapter of Nintendo's wrath against the people? How long the world is going to be dominated by absurd copy(made up)right laws?

PS. Even if that wouldn't be the case here, my POV stands. Current copy(made up)right laws don't even make tiny-little sense nowadays. FREEDOM NOW FOR HUMAN KNOWLEDGE once for all FGS.

How can it be possible that we are in 2024 a no one seems to be proposing the most obvious improvement to the web, which is to create a new standard designed for web applications and let the HTML alone serving it's original purpose, which was to serve documents? (H*T*ML the T goes for "TEXT"!). Instead of that, and make things complex and unmanageable to the extreme, to "improve" things now we dropped out completely the MVC philosophy and went completely ahead with an spaghetti mess of Javascript, HTML, CSS, and create-your-desired-tags-at-will everywhere, aka Components.

PS. And not even mentioning Madnesscript which deserves another chapter in this story of horror.

Pity, it's over. We'll never ever be able to download those ten gigabytes files, at the other side of the fence.
