Hanoi is a simple terminal version of the known classical game Tower of Hanoi, written in Bash.

During the game, the user can move left and right, pick disks and drop them in other stacks.

The aim is to move all the disks from the ORIGIN pile to the DESTINATION pile, in as little moves as possible

Seeing that duplicated question kinda makes me trust them less, like this was AI-gen or a surprisingly careless mistake...

I wasn't familiar with the author before this article. You can see his wikipedia page here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_M._K%C3%BChn

He is best known for his efforts in GPL enforcement,[7] as the creator of FSF's license list, and as original author of the Affero General Public License. He has long been a proponent for non-profit structures for FLOSS development, and leads efforts in this direction through the Software Freedom Conservancy. He is a recipient of the 2012 O'Reilly Open Source Award.

Excerpt from the first part of the piece:

In this philosophical essay, I explore the question: “When (if at all) is it ethically and morally acceptable to use proprietary software in the production and/or improvement of urgently needed copylefted FOSS?”

The question presents a complex conundrum. I attempt herein to rigoriously examine it through both a priori ethical analysis and a posteriori (and folksy) consideration of my personal experience and the shared experiences of the early software freedom movement.

I surprised myself at the outcome of my analysis. I conclude that under some circumstances (of which we have already witnessed in key historical examples), use of proprietary software by FOSS contributors to create/improve FOSS becomes a moral imperative. And, that imperitive often supersedes the moral imperative to avoid using that proprietary software.

Scenario: you're using opensource software and you aren't donating yet, however you have enough money left over every month to do so. Something(s) is holding you back from donating. Think about what that is and what would have to change for you to change that.

The Commission is proposing the European Technological Sovereignty Package, marking a change in Europe's approach to its tech ecosystems.

The Commission is putting forward a multi-pronged, comprehensive strategy to achieve technological sovereignty, with initiatives that are interconnected and mutually reinforcing across each stage of the value chain, from chips, to infrastructure, to software, cloud and AI, and in synergy with past and ongoing initiatives such as AI Factories and AI Gigafactories.

This is reflected in four initiatives:

  • The Chips Act 2.0 to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem and supply chain resilience, and boost domestic demand
  • The Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) to unlock the potential AI and cloud, to transform our industrial ecosystems and improve societal outcomes
  • The EU Open Source Strategy to reduce dependencies across the entire technology stack
  • A Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy

For those outside the loop: rsync starting using AI agents to handle the influx of AI security reports to improve the test suite and fix bugs. It introduced a few CVEs and people who never contributed in any way started firing shots at the maintainer.

rsync maintainer's response to the people getting pissy about his usage of AI: medium and the related post on programming.dev

I thought he made some interesting points about how ultimately this type of legislation is just encouraging 3D printer manufacturers to just abandon open source, something they’ve been trying to do for years
