This seems too black and white a prognosis. I think it's not a popular method of funding development because the sponsorship/patronage method seems like it already does a better job of providing stability without making a transactional relationship.
Why don't you have the program download the entire text to save locally and then fetch the local files?
Introduction
I’ve written quite a lot of free software in my life. Most of it was from scratch: projects I started myself. So I get to choose where to host them – or rather, I have to choose where to host them.
These days, all my projects are held in Git. And mostly, I put them in ‘bare’ git repositories on my personal website.
I don’t use any git ‘forge’ system layered on top of Git, like Gitlab or Github, which automatically makes a bug tracking database for each project, and provides a convenient button for a user to open a merge request / pull request. I just use plain Git. People can ‘git clone’ my code, and there’s a web-based browsing interface (the basic gitweb) for looking around without having to clone it at all. But that’s all the automated facilities you get.
Occasionally this confuses people, so I thought I should write something about it.

That's not an affiliate link that's an anonymous tracking link.
These suggestions are essentially the same as other privacy and libre focused recommendations.
I'm talking about posting on their website a link to alternative social media accounts.
You're right. I got lazy.
I'd make a blind bet on that over Matrix for suitability.
In that case we could all just use email.
That doesn't explain why they don't start a transition by posting to both the new platform and the old. And not including links to their new account on their websites.
Matrix and XMPP don't even pretend to be Discord replacements.
Unfortunately the accounts listed under Social network accounts of Debian teams and Social network accounts of Debian contributors are almost exclusively Twitter accounts.

From the article:
DeepSeek-R1 release leaves open several questions about:
- Data collection: How were the reasoning-specific datasets curated?
- Model training: No training code was released by DeepSeek, so it is unknown which hyperparameters work best and how they differ across different model families and scales.
- Scaling laws: What are the compute and data trade-offs in training reasoning models?
These questions prompted us to launch the Open-R1 project, an initiative to systematically reconstruct DeepSeek-R1’s data and training pipeline, validate its claims, and push the boundaries of open reasoning models. By building Open-R1, we aim to provide transparency on how reinforcement learning can enhance reasoning, share reproducible insights with the open-source community, and create a foundation for future models to leverage these techniques.
In this blog post we take a look at key ingredients behind DeepSeek-R1, which parts we plan to replicate, and how to contribute to the Open-R1 project
I didn't read your post correctly. Yeah, that's harassment at the very least. No better than someone screaming at a retail worker because of some corporate policies.
It's all about your organization's size and if the organization makes use of the Anaconda controlled defaults channel. I'm not a lawyer, but your company may be liable for some licensing fee if your company is using Anaconda's repository of binaries. You'd need to consult with an actual lawyer for more reliable assessment of your potential liability.
Switch to using miniforge and the conda-forge channel when installing and using Conda.
Conda itself is outside of Anaconda, Inc's control.
Miniforge should be defaulting to use conda-forge. Perhaps an old installation is configured to use the Anaconda inc maintained defaults channel.
Conda-forge.org provides a guide to rid your
environments of the defaults channel.

Orphaning bcachefs-tools in Debian – Jonathan Carter | 29 August 2024
29 August 2024
Jonathan Carter writes:
As it stands now, bcachefs-tools is impossible to maintain in Debian stable. While my primary concerns when packaging, are for Debian unstable and the next stable release, I also keep in mind people who have to support these packages long after I stopped caring about them (like Freexian who does LTS support for Debian or Canonical who has long-term Ubuntu support, and probably other organisations that I’ve never even heard of yet). And of course, if bcachfs-tools don’t have any usable stable releases, it doesn’t have any LTS releases either, so anyone who needs to support bcachefs-tools long-term has to carry the support burden on their own, and if they bundle it’s dependencies, then those as well.
I don’t have any solution for fixing this. I suppose if I were upstream I might look into the possibility of at least supporting a larger range of recent dependencies (usually easy enough if you don’t hop onto the newest features right away)

Deno's Standard Library for JavaScript Finally Stabilized at v1 | 3min 5sec Video | Aug 8, 2024
Video Description
Many programming languages have standard libraries. What about JavaScript? 🤔️
Deno's goal is to simplify programming, and part of that is to provide the JavaScript community with a carefully audited standard library (that works in Deno and Node) that offers utility functions for data manipulation, web-related logic, and more. We created the Deno Standard Library in 2021, and four years, 151 releases, and over 4k commits later, we're thrilled to finally announce that it's 30 modules are finally stabilized at v1.

Even though there are hundreds of resources out there (too many to keep track of), I will try to limit them to a maximum of 5 per category to ensure you get the most valuable and relevant resources out there, plus, the whole point of this repository is to help you avoid getting overwhelmed by too many choices. This way you can focus less time researching and more time learning.
FAQs
- How is curation done? Curation is based on thorough research, recommendations from people I trust, and my years of experience as a Data Scientist.
- Are all resources free? Most resources here will be free, but I will also include paid alternatives if they are truly valuable to your career development. All paid resources include the symbol 💲.

How OCaml type checker works -- or what polymorphism and garbage collection have in common | okmij.org | original February 2013 | updated January 9, 2022
A short guide on OCaml type checker, describing the surprisingly elegant algorithm for generalization, which generalizes to first-class polymorphism, MLF and local types. Polymorphism and regions have much in common.
There is more to Hindley-Milner type inference than the Algorithm W. In 1988, Didier Rémy was looking to speed up the type inference in Caml and discovered an elegant method of type generalization. Not only it is fast, avoiding scanning the type environment. It smoothly extends to catching of locally-declared types about to escape, to type-checking of universals and existentials, and even to MLF.
Alas, both the algorithm and its implementation in the OCaml type checker are little known and little documented. This page is to explain and popularize Rémy's algorithm, and to decipher a part of the OCaml type checker. The page also aims to preserve the history of Rémy's algorithm.

Writing a C Compiler | Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch | Nora Sandler | July 2024 | No Starch Press | 792 pages | ISBN-13: 9781718500426
A fun, hands-on guide to writing your own compiler for a real-world programming language.
Book Description
Writing a C Compiler will take you step by step through the process of building your own compiler for a significant subset of C—no prior experience with compiler construction or assembly code needed. Once you’ve built a working compiler for the simplest C program, you’ll add new features chapter by chapter. The algorithms in the book are all in pseudocode, so you can implement your compiler in whatever language you like. Along the way, you’ll explore key concepts like:
- Lexing and parsing: Learn how to write a lexer and recursive descent parser that transform C code into an abstract syntax tree.
- Program analysis: Discover how to analyze a program to understand its behavior and detect errors.
- Code generation: Learn how to translate C language constructs like arithmetic operations, function calls, and control-flow statements into x64 assembly code.
- Optimization techniques: Improve performance with methods like constant folding, dead store elimination, and re
A table of publicly available Arena crates and their features
Sometimes you just really need an arena. Sometimes for performance reasons, other times for lifetime-related reasons. In their most basic forms, they're just a vec with some extra guarantees. However, it's those extra guarantees that matter. I've found myself looking for the right kind of arena too ...

First impressions of Gleam: lots of joys and some rough edges
The blog post is the author's impressions of Gleam after it released version 1.4.0. Gleam is an upcoming language that is getting a lot of highly-ranked articles.
It runs on the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM), making it great for distributed programs and a competitor to Elixir and Erlang (the language). It also compiles to JavaScript, making it a competitor to TypeScript.
But unlike Elixir, Erlang, and TypeScript, it's strongly typed (not just gradually typed). It has "functional" concepts like algebraic data types, immutable values, and first-class functions. The syntax is modeled after Rust and its tutorial is modeled after Go's. Lastly, it

Elements of Data Science is an introduction to data science for people with no programming experience. My goal is to present a small, powerful subset of Python that allows you to do real work with data as quickly as possible.
Part 1 includes six chapters that introduce basic Python with a focus on working with data.
Part 2 presents exploratory data analysis using Pandas and empiricaldist — it includes a revised and updated version of the material from my popular DataCamp course, “Exploratory Data Analysis in Python.”
Part 3 takes a computational approach to statistical inference, introducing resampling method, bootstrapping, and randomization tests.
Part 4 is the first of two case studies. It uses data from the General Social Survey to explore changes in political beliefs and attitudes in the U.S. in the last 50 years. The data points on the cover are f

Jeremy Soller from System76, however, didn't just contribute kernel code for Pop!_OS, but also started his own operating system, RedoxOS, which is completely written in Rust. One might get the impression that he likes to tinker with low-level code!
In this episode of Rust in Production, Jeremy talks about his journey. From getting hired as a kernel developer at Denver-based company System76 after looking at the job ad for 1 month and finally applying, to being the maintainer of not one but two operating systems, additional system tools, and the Rust-based Cosmic desktop. We'll talk about why it's hard to write correct C code even for exceptional developers like Jeremy and why Rust is so great for refactoring and sharing code across different levels of abstraction.
