These LLMs don't respect those permissive licenses, though. Especially the GPL, but even MIT requires attribution through inclusion of a copyright notice.
Yes, exactly, that is my point.

The argument that programmers are into piracy and therefore should shut up about theft is nonsensical. Not defending piracy, but at least an artist or creator is still credited and their work is unadulterated. Piracy != plagiarism.
It's also ignoring the fact that much plagiarized code is already under permissive licenses. If Star Wars or Daft Punk were CC-BY-SA nobody would need to pirate them, and there may even be a vibrant remix culture... which is kind of the whole point of open source, is it not?

> they match, more or less, those of UNIX's philosophy
1. Good design is innovative
UNIX innovated by simplifying Multics -
throwing away ring security and PL/I's memory safety features.
Linux innovated by cloning UNIX, giving it away for free,
and avoiding the lawsuit that sidelined BSD.
2. Good design makes a product useful
Yet somehow people managed to use UNIX anyway.
3. Good design is aesthetic
UNIX threw away clear, long-form command forms and kept
short, cryptic abbreviations like "cat" (short for "felis cattus")
and "wc" (short for "toilet").
Its C library helpfully abbreviates "create" as "creat",
because vowels are expensive.
4. Good design makes a product understandable
See #3
5. Good design is unobtrusive
That's why UNIX/Linux enthusiasts spend so much time
configuring their systems rather than using them.
6. Good design is honest
The UNIX name indicates it is missing something
present in Multics. Similarly, "Linux" is the
gender-neutralized form of "Linus".
7. Good design is long-lasting
Like many stubborn diseases, UNIX has proven hard to eradicate.
8. Good design is thorough down to the last detail
UNIX/Linux enthusiasts love using those details
to try to figure out how to get Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and GPU support partially working on their laptops.
9. Good design is environmentally-friendly
Linux recycles most of UNIX's bad ideas, and many
of its users/apologists.
10. Good design is as little design as possible
Linux beats UNIX because it wasn't designed at all.Reads like it came straight out of the UNIX-HATERS Handbook, nice. (For those unfamiliar: https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf)

> This probably doesn’t happen often, but it’s prone to name collisions.
It's funny, it really was just using strings as keys until quite recently, and obviously there were collisions and there was no way to "protect" a key/value, etc.
Now the convention is to use a key with a private type, so no more collisions. The value you get is still untyped and needs to be cast, though. Also there are still many older libraries still uses strings.
The blog post from 2014 introducing context uses a private key type, so there's really no excuse: https://go.dev/blog/context#package-userip

RTO usually seems like an indirect way to do some layoffs to me. Surely management must be aware of the attrition it causes.

Personally (living in Japan) I've never experienced something like this, but it does happen.

I love the catwalk that's actually for cats, the little cat doors and cat restrooms. Nice to see some cat-friendly architecture. Very cool.

I remember seeing a video from the 80s about how the behavior is emergent - they made a computer program that replicated how birds fly by stating just a few axioms like don't fall behind and don't be in front.
The idea being that the V takes shape because they want to have a bird in front of them the entire time while one poor bird gets stuck out in front.
