If one really wants to take a stand against this crazy administration, they shouldn’t start it by referring to Hegseth with his assumed title.

I thought that too, but then wondered if they thought better of deliberately antagonizing a very powerful bully.

Democracy rewards mass appeal, and that in turn encourages demagoguery and gives a platform for stupidity. It's been an unavoidable problem with the system since Athens.

Having lived (or maybe more accurately "resided") in the Springs for a few years, this story didn't surprise me at all.

GH also needs to find a way to stop AI scraping of IP.

(Or not. It might be lucrative to host some novel algorithm on GH under a license permitting its use in generative LLM results, at a reasonable per-impression fee.)

When I want to autocomplete my code with IP scraped from github with all licensing removed, nothing beats an LLM.

Fortran has had dummy procedures (subprogram arguments that can be associated with subroutines or functions) since Fortran II.

Parentheses in Fortran have semantic meaning beyond precedence, so you would want to distinguish original parentheses from the inserted ones.

This might work if Fortran were portable, or if only one compiler were targeted.

The transition from assembly to C, as I remember it, didn't involve using automated IP theft of scraped licensed source code to generate slop that no human has understood up until it's thrown at a code reviewer, though.

Fortran has its problems with its standard and portability, but it is hardly a dead language yet.
