Is it OK under the CodeProject license to create a public github repository from the source code linked to an article to share changes and bug fixes with the community?
The code in question contains no licensing except for the code project license CPOL: Code Project Open License[^]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my reading of the license suggests this is OK as long as:
- None of the article itself is used, only the source code linked to the article
- The source code repository contains a prominent URL of the CodeProject license (a copy of the license file would be a good idea too).
- "You insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how, when and where You changed that file." though this could lead to some pretty ugly commenting if there are lots of changes. Git commit comments are a more usable way of conveying this information
- "You agree not to advertise or in any way imply that this Work is a product of Your own." Presumably adding clear links back to original CodeProject URLs would achieve this.
- "You agree not to remove any of the original copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices and associated disclaimers that may appear in the Source Code" - none to remove in this case AFAICT

If you aren't sure - and the comments bit is part of the licence so it's pretty much mandatory - then talk to the author: there is a forum at the bottom of each article which lets you do that.
Ask them, if they say "yes" then you are OK.

Near field communications usage is an unsubtle swindle, which gives the guys money for the shirt. (11, 7)

It was pretty much a stab at it.
near field communications usage (definition)
unsubtle swindle = CON
<something> = TACTLESS?
money for = PAYMENT
I'm curious to see how you get the rest of it, but of course this presumes that even you know. 
Canada has had "tap to pay" credit cards for many years now, whereas they only got rolled out in the U.S. recently. When we were living in the U.S. and were up here visiting, I used a Canadian card and my wife was like  ?

Not just credit cards, we can also tap with our debit cards to pay. 👍

GitHub - ipython/xkcd-font: The xkcd font[^]
Why am I not surprised.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Days like this I wished fonts were embedded in source code !!
I commit all the source files in xkcd fonts and see my colleague freak out.
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|
|
|
|
Sharing a screen is already enough of a hassle (I use a 4K monitor at its native resolution, a coworker uses 1080p with large fonts), I would NOT want to have to put up with other people's fonts in code...
It's bad enough already to get everyone to agree on tabs vs spaces...

Behold!
My code is so much more legible now!

I just wish it had a full complement of characters - at least for Western languages (such as all the characters of ISO 8859-1).
I guess there has never been a strip where, say, æøåÆØäöÄÖ and the German double-s occurs. The Å is included - I guess that there may have been a use of the unit Ångstrøm, 0.1 nanometers. Maybe the artist, Randall Munroe, could be urged to produce samples of these characters, in an xkcd strip or standalone. It wouldn't be right to have someone else try to imitate the style, it must come from the original source!

I was thinking of developing a visual programming environment that could generate .NET code
And that got me thinking about the little connectable gadgets in Rocky's boots.
That was a neat game. I really enjoyed it when I was young.
Maybe I should recreate it in C#. It would probably give me the code for diagramming connectable objects I could use to make that visual coding environment.
Either way it could be fun. I was just curious if any of you had played it.

I had to look it up and would guess that many who post here are too old to have played it. At the time it was out, I think I was wasting my time on the first version of Wizardry.

Or too young, I was -5 at the time.
Ah, good old times!

Kind of similar, from the looks of it, though Rocky's Boots is a bit older and shows its age.

That's a bit before my time, but that type of game/simulation would have kept my young mind happy. I recall using a particular connect-the-gadget simulator in (I think) an intro computer architecture course. I don't recall the name of it, but it was fun to play around with.
