Hoarding information is like hoarding any other resources.
Information is unlike any other resource, it can be shared without taking away from the giver.
Hording it is not about protection what you have, it’s about intentionally depriving others with no benefit to your self other than keeping up a power imbalance.

Don’t get me wrong, he does great work, but your post should mention it somewhere.
I’m sorry I don’t know all the arcane incantations of your court system of the top of my head.
What would the defense say? “That wasn’t him, just someone who looks similar.”
They already claim that by pleading innocent at the start.
A computer/microcontroller can read physical cards just as well and if the specs of the hardware are well known enough for someone to write vhdl/verilog, they can also write c/rust.
If someone offered you a molecularly identical beer, would you complain that it’s not the original.
If the outcome is the exact same, who cares?
This is like golden audio cables but for retro gamers.
Why use a FPGA? For the price of the chip (113€) you could get an entire SBC that has more storage, voltage regulation and protection, 3.3V or 5V IO and linux.

On frameworks specifically, I recommend the song:
We’re gonna build a framework,
cause we wanna use one,
but don’t wanna choose one
We’re gonna build a framework
We didn’t like the others,
So we’ll write another
I never understood why they don’t add just a little syntactic sugar. You don’t need much to take it from a mess of brackets to something comprehensible.
It was in the original design, but not the first implementation. By the time someone got around to it, people where used to S-expressions.
Even if it gets put in s landfill without burning, it will rott and the carbon reaches the atmosphere as CO2 or methane (much worse).
We have bacteria break it down to create biogas, wich we burn for energy, and sludge wich we burn and put the ashes in landfills or back on the fields as fertilizer.
You can rest assured that all the carbon makes it to the atmosphere, one way or another.
Sound like coal butter, which existed in WW2 but was discontinued because of inefficiency.
And the most important question: how does it taste?
No the most important question is how much energy does it take?
[…] they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, […]
So direct air capture, instead of industrial waste CO2, good luck with that.
Just go with a typical fund and donate the amount of profit that makes you feel good with it to a good cause of your choice.
“Three Germans meet - they found an association (Verein)”.
Stop spreading misinformation on the Internet!
Everyone knows, that while 3 is the minimum membership (§ 73 BGB), 7 people are required to found one (§ 56 BGB).
Unless you want to carve large holes in granite, your best shot at the moment is something like the Arctic World Archive.
I think you should make the overwhelmingly likely case crash in a controlled way, but provide a way to handle it for people who truly want to keep going in such strange conditions.
In rust I would panic in now(), but also provide a alternative call that returns a result named something like try_now(), similar to Vec::with_capacity and Vec::try_with_capacity.
In languages that provide them, you could also throw a runtime exception that can be ignored and just bubbles up to main unless explicitly caught.
If a system was made to show blogs by the author and gets repurposed by a LLM to show untrusted user content the same code becomes unsafe.
Does it count if I have to google which key to hold down to enter the boot menu or bios every time? There are 12 function keys and esc.
Why assembly?
Does C not allow putting the v-table in static memory/text or where is the hangup?
