Sun, afaiu, was part of a large committee on js without any particular leadership. They got the committee to agree to giving it trademark by complaining/threatening that the name was too close to java. Sun got trademark 4 years after Netscape started support for js. ECMAscript was mostly the same committee without SUN ownership/trademark.

They ended up with Javascript trademark (afaik, because the name was too close to Java) too. Sued node.js over something related.

Can we sue Oracle back for any of this?

“12.1” is interpreted as the date December 1st, and as before for dates with no year the default is 2001 because of course.

it gets better and more coherent the deeper you go :P

Celebrating

One of the holocaust denial arguments (thanks to Lemmy reposting of grok) is that there was no confirmed written order linking Hitler to it. He might have been just “passively” instigating/inflaming his cabinet/generals into a final solution conference. We still think he celebrated it.

The Grok solution is to genocide those who celebrate the tiny silver lining in diminishing the chances of (near) future genocides.

and when I see this “AY”, what language, dialect, or slang should I be programmed in?

I don’t get it.

usb drive is penis isn’t it?

Sun played no, or no authoritative, role in developing javascript. I don’t know how they got the trademark except perhaps no one owning it thought they could monetize the trademark.

Simple distinction of capitalism vs socialism is private vs socialized profits. Where the commons are a social asset, profiting off it gives society a return in exchange for diminishment of commons.

Tradgedy of the commons is usually a glib argument ending remark made when you point out the theft of the commons taking place, or the privatising of profits with socialized losses. Its meant to uphold theft as a feature of democratic capital supremacy.

The reasoning is actually that a food desert means greater revenues from a larger market circle for the desert wanderers to travel so they can eat. Company gets most of the profit without offering convenient service from the captives.

There is zero reason to run grocery stores at a loss. Competition that doesn’t extort as strongly as other cartel members does screw over the cartel.

Instead of closing them, accept NYC offer of 5cents on the dollar to take over their lease. Everyone gets what they want.

Iran is happy with permanent ceasefire. Israel had far greater initial demonic fantasies, and so we can say they lost. Trump’s glorious victory strike no one should question its success is essentially helpful intervention on behalf of Iran. Israel better off not receiving missiles, too.

Emperor rutte has spoken. Well deputy emperor to trump, rutte, has spoken. NATO members all agree to destroy their societies in order to boost military spending by 150%. Traitors in member parliaments will need to be executed if they object to the empire.

At least Europes war on Russia will be worth it. Every 100 years, no one left alive to remember last failure.

Ukraine NATO version of a ceasefire proposal is so Ukraine can dig new defensive lines, and let western weapons production catch up with donations. Conducting terrorist operations day before meetings doesn’t put Russia in a good mood either.

Zelensky power/bribery clinging does not bring peace to Ukraine any time soon.

I think that is an Arabic phrase. They speek Persian/Farsi

Know that US gives fake loans (forgiven the same day) for all IDF expenses. This is somehow not part of US miitary budget even though they pay for everything.

Withdrawal would be worse.

If we withdraw then China, Iran, human peaceniks win because of demonstrated weakness and failure. We must achieve bankruptcy!
