I pressed C-c accidentally during the upgrade(wrong terminal) and it broke the entire system(had to manually change a few files rebuild initramfs to be able to boot). I would take the complexity of Nix without a thought.

Or use a wildcard cert for all internal certs.

Like another commenter I also use it for initial exploration in uncharted territory. For coding only helpful with autocompleting error strings. Even then, it messes with normal auto-complete, might get rid of it.

Well, no such thing as stable addresses since you don't really own IP addresses, you are leasing from RIR. But, if you are fine with APNIC allocation, see if RIPE PI Allocation is sufficient for you, they are much cheaper(RIPE charges $50/yr), add some LIR cost, total would be <$100/yr.

Do you see a green lock with message saying "your access is restricted" in the US?

Do you see any TLS connection resets based on SNI? If not, most(all?) indian ISPs already visibly do far more than average American ISP.

Nobody in india uses SMS to communicate, it is solely used for verification OTP. It's never been a thing, so not sure what you are talking about.

Can you not mitm the CA's dns lookups for http, tls-alpn challenges and make them sign the certificates for you? How does letsencrypt prevent this? Do they check with multiple resolvers around the world?

> There is a similar gymnastics done by human engineers today due to the issue of patents. I don't think this is a good trend to uphold.

Are you arguing that copyright laws should be abolished? I have no problem with that as long as it's clearly defined, you can't not respect copyright of open source code but enforce it for proprietary code, just because the value is arguably non-monetary.

> An editor extension allowing search of github would be at least as easy to use to violate licenses

Well, try doing that for music or movies or proprietary leaked codebase.

If you think copilot is uniquely producing things that are not that different from humans then surely no one would have any problem with feeding it massive amounts of corporate programs?

I am not aware what writers are doing but there have been plenty of uproar regarding stable diffusion. I have a feeling that if any tools like this get built for musicians/film-makers, it will look vastly different from the current situation.

The difference is if you build tools that can be used to violate existing copyright laws your tool will get taken offline by the same corporations. Yet they are selling one that can be used to do so.

Exactly, it would actually benefit many C/C++ programmers. Some components of NT are very high quality, why not wash their license if the aim is to empower the programmers and also make some profit?

LGPL is open source, the scandal is violating the license agreement.

You are assuming copying around buffers won't consume any cpu? Maybe it's perfectly fine, maybe it's not. But it needs some experiment before we can handwave it.

I also think vscode is really good enough for development and has a healthy plugin interface. I only miss my vim navigation when working in it, nothing beats vscode remote mode and it's free.
