I didn't read the article, of course, but the summary sounds like they're doing face *detection* not recognition.
Detection: find which portions of an image are faces.
Recognition: compare to a database of faces and find out whose face it is.
First is way easier than the other.
They've automated the work of the drones that spam my linkedin profile after matching keywords and NOT reading anything in the free form text?
... moving your browsing elsewhere if your favourite sites require NoScript to be readable?
This is free, platform independent advice.
I don't know shit about Fortran. I do Android, iOS and (embedded) Linux.
It's the cost of doing business in the US - you have to expect being sued.
Okay, it's MIT licensed, and there's a patent promise - which i personally don't trust, but you're welcome to.
However, what the hell is a "CoreCLR" and how does it help?
I gave up on
This is just the bytecode execution runtime, right? As in: no GUI libraries, for one - which makes it useless for porting Windows applications to other operating systems since, well, there aren't many command line Windows applications.
Actually don't bother answering. Honestly, it's been a long while since I cared what Microsoft does. You can make a very decent living as a developer while totally ignoring them.
Oh, that promise is legally binding? I don't think so. And CEOs change.
I can't look, i am not a lawyer and I don't know what legal liability that would expose me to
And yes, the summary sucks. The actual license should have been in the summary.
And on a more serious note, what is the actual license the code is released under?
... patents would I infringe on by just cloning their repo?
Do they get to take my first born if i actually read the code too?
... a great many new contributors to BSD
Delphi targets Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.
Does it now? When they put out the Linux version i think they depended on Wine... just for the IDE or for the compiled apps, I can't remember.
Aye aye. AMD drivers have been shit on Linux for like forever. Your only option there is to get a NVidia card. If it draws less power than the competition like now, it's even better.
... or simply something procedural but higher level, like, for example, Python?
D is a better C++, but not many people need a better C++.
The GPL is the only license practically that lets you dual-license with a proprietary license.
You can give it freely to people who want to spread it freely, and you can charge people who want to close it. That way, you get a return on your investment either way.
Actually if you're the copyright holder for something you can license it in as many ways as you want. It doesn't make much sense if one of those options isn't GPL though.
