Question about JACK audio interface.

Maybe look into PipeWire, Reaper in jack mode works fine connected to PipeWire for me, without any of the problems you mentioned.

It is quite possible that your desktop audio already uses PipeWire depending on your distribution, you would need to look at latency settings if you want live playback.

Question regarding license choice for my program

Open source Not […] allow […] commercial applications

For some definitions of open source, this is contradictory (FOSS). Some non FOSS licenses do limit commercial use while making the source available, this could be a possibility for you.

But, I’d instead recommend that you check if a copyleft license such as the GPL provide enough protections for your use case.

Worst keyboard layouts?

At some point, uppercase letters were written without accent in French. I'm unsure where this comes from, but I heard this was due to the limitations of printing presses, and then typewriters kept the convention.

In any case, the style is quite out of fashion today, but I know people who still write (handwriting and typing) without using accented uppercase letters.

Is Windows FOSS now?

Reply in thread

Not how I understand it, but I'm not a lawyer. The user that uses the script to generate the code can copyright the output and oop can copyright their script (and the output they themself generate). If it worked like you said, it would be trivial to write a script that generates all possible code by enumerating possible programs, then because the script will eventually generate your code, it's already copyrighted. This appear absurd to me.

Relevant: https://www.vice.com/en/article/musicians-algorithmically-generate-every-possible-melody-release-them-to-public-domain/

If the script copies chunks of code under the copyright of the original script writer, I typically see for those parts that the original owner keeps copyright of those chunks and usually license it in some way to the user. But the code from the user input part is still copyrightable by the user. And that's that last part that is most interesting for the copyright of AI works. I'm curious how the law will settle on that.

I'm open to counterarguments.

Which GPL-like licence for object oriented?

First, thanks for working on Pharo, what an amazing environment.

I am not a lawyer so you should double check.

For GPL, indeed the image as a whole would be GPL. If the personal project is more of an “executable”, it might be what you are looking for, any further image modification would have to be released under the GPL as well.

If the project is more of a “library”, you might or might not prefer the LGPL. In this case I feel like https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-java.en.html would apply similarly to Java. As long as you can load the image and change the original library code, other code is not restricted on the license.

High RAM usage despite nothing using it

Reply in thread

If I understand your reply correctly (the output of free would be clearer), having 80% of RAM used as cache would indicate that it is used for caching files such as map and chunk data. This is normal in Linux, and the game would lag more without this feature. The link I shared explains it better than I can.

If you feel this is still not the case, you can share info such as free output, list of open files, etc, while the issue occurs.
