Not sure if the site was updated, but there are multiple comments here about sales tax missing for the US price. The site clearly states it added that tax for Canada and the US, and shows two prices for each country reflecting the lowest and highest tax applicable based on where you buy the phone.

Funny, I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mobile-wikipe... because I generally prefer the mobile site, even on desktop. (Same with Twitter by the way.)

Okay I get what you mean now, I looked at it from a legality POV. I agree with you that plagiarism might not be illegal but still unethical.

Why do you not just pick a license that forbids uses not compatible with your ethical standpoint, and chose to just not enforce the terms should they be violated? This way, companies are likely to respect your intent and preference and you don't have to make use of a legal system you don't support.

Is it really plagiarism if you explicitly allow them to use and even sell your code, though? Also, plagiarism implies they don't give you credit and instead put their own name on it.

I checked out the example code for arrays (https://github.com/betty200744/ultimate-go/blob/3de8a053d9f7...) and noticed that OP seems to misunderstand a few things about Go arrays:

- the cheat sheet differentiates between 'declaring' and 'declaring and initializing', but in Go there are no uninitialized arrays (or slices) - a lot of times in this file, a slice is created instead of an array (lines 18, 21, 25, 31) - arrays in Go don't really have a capacity (it's always the same as the array's length) - the built-ins append and copy as well as the sort functions don't accept arrays (I assume this is why slices are created?)

I don't know much about this, but I assume the advances in renewables and carbon neutral ships is driven mostly by regulation aimed to reduce pollution. Can we really give the cruise companies a lot of credit for that?

> The demand for cruises is not going to go away.

Good, then there will still be cruise ships after the industry felt the consequences, and perhaps they will have learned something.

isspace is defined as a macro at the top of the file, and it's definitely not locale sensitive ;)

I have my doubts about the timestamps on these first posts. How did Kevin get from Pier 38, where Mike supposedly photographed him at exactly noon, to Todos Santos at ~2:30pm, when it's 28 hours away?

The code in the screenshot is valid Go (switching on strings, no parentheses around the if condition, incrementing a map value using ++) and could even be the output of go fmt (with the { on the same line as the if).

The app itself appears to be written in Ruby (the github link is posted elsewhere in the comments), and looking at the image included in the article further down I assume the code is from a Go app that takes the Ruby app's logs and generates some statistics.

Don Jon, for those wondering. (At least I think that's the one sjg007 is talking about.)

Your BahnCard 100 is only for DB trains, and their partners like regional transport associations. Not sure why you suspect it to be valid for a competitor's service. And I doubt Locomore will ever partner with DB...

Here you go: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?3x_n...

You have to use the normal XPS 13 page and choose Ubuntu from the OS filter.

The user(s) you might not want are the parents, not the disabled child. Proper care for the child represents their quite unique problem that they want you to solve so they can use your product. The child having special needs is what sets these patents/users apart from the parents/users you made the product for.
