What's the point in posting an article which has a paywall? Does anyone have a link which points to an open version of the article?

I can't really add more than I already said. I assume that you know the difference between physicists, mathematicians and engineers or how these titles are protected in Germany, for example, and …

By the end of the day, "philosopher" is nothing more than a more fashionable word for "writer". And like "film critic", "philosopher" is an unprotected, self-ap…

Interesting point, but not actually a rebuttal of my statement. Another example: von Neumann Architecture was not invented by von Neumann; he was just the guy who illegally published the concept under…

Or focused? Why should it be bad not to waste your time with speculative things?

Expressing opinions does not create new, reliable scientific knowledge. Instead scientists observe, make claims, deduce the effects of their claims, and then conduct experiments suited to possibly obs…

If a field of knowledge is associated with a person or group of persons ("Frankfurter Schule", "Wiener Kreis"), I am a priori sceptical. Genuine scientific knowledge exists for its…

Well, that was not the argument. I agree, there are much greedier organizations around. However, this does not answer the question why the operation of these organisations is so expensive compared to …

Isn't this a typical case of Parkinson's law? See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law (didn't find a free version of the book unfortunately). Ther…

Here is another interesting article by Garret (i.e. Erann Gat): http://www.flownet.com/gat/papers/lisp-java.pdf …

This is a very useful article (both parts), many thanks to the author.

The copyright in this case is a joke anyway because Gershwin died very young and childless, so the right people didn't benefit from it anyway. Now we can at least perform the work without stuffin…

It's not unmaintained. There are at least three companies doing their own maintenance and development on a professional and organized level. Most even open source their results. And there are als…

Well, he doesn't owe anybody anything. On the contrary, I think it's generous that he still cares about the project.

What makes you believe his name is not Pall? I have other information.

What do you mean by that? Don't understand.

Right. People prefer to post bullshit instead (e.g. that Pall was no real person, Lua 5.3 being superior, and the like).

Tried to find out something about your roadmap. Would be helpful if you could add additional information somewhere. Is this a continuation of LuaJIT 2.1 or 2.0? What short and longterm goals do you ha…

How about efficiency? Looks like the collector has to scan through all allocated memory and the whole stack to check whether there could be a pointer. And if any data looks like such a pointer (even b…

I had so many linking issues because of the Qt so on Android that I finally had to statically compile the run some tests at all, and in consequence to replace Qt with something else to avoid royalties…

Interesting. How did you solve the LGPL licencing issue? Did you have to pay a commercial licence and pay royalties to The Company? EDIT: ok I see, your project is AGPL. But that just moves the issues…

Are you aware of Dart and Flutter? I also used Qt on Android and iOS once. Won't do it again. A lot of linking, deployment and licensing issues to use something where by the end of the day I have…

I would rather recommend to stay with the name but add a prefix such as "Free Qt" to demonstrate that it is still and will remain a robust Qt branch doing without incompatible changes and fo…

I hope the BSD case happens soon before these people scare all the developers away.
