... Who is it worse for? First of all, that almost never happens. But for users, there's no difference (if anything it's an improvement because they now have better protection of their freedom) and the original developers can just ignore the fork or merge the code and change license (which isn't possible with a proprietary fork).

> The CDDL indeed saved illumos from being cannibalized and disappearing as a community. Had its features been easily ported to Linux without a licencing problem, the project would probably not have survived, simply due to the fact that there would have been few reasons to stick with it.

I think that's a very irrational fear. GNU/Linux took plenty of BSD code and BSD still exists, many different projects take ideas from each other -- it's what's called "collaboration".

> I won't go so far as the grandparent post here, but I'm one of those developers that couldn't give half a care about "user freedom".

It's disappointing that you don't want to actually make the world a better place (not in the standard bullshit silicon valley sense) by giving people freedom.

I wonder why Haskell people feel so hurt about Scala...

It's much closer to Haskell's capabilities than pretty much any other functional language.

It has better type classes, the compiler just got type inference for partially applied type constructors, it supports programming with dependent types and implicit parameters allow you to let the compiler prove almost arbitrary things.

If your definition of FP means "purity", you pretty much discarded all languages traditionally considered to be functional.

There is nothing wrong with liking Haskell more than Scala, but I think your claims are not very well-founded.
Why is Atlassian paying for people to take classes on Coursera?
I drove a car with a manual transmission and no power steering in the early 1990s, a Honda Civic of some kind. Primitive, but it was also a bit of a delight. A very physical and mechanical thing. The lack of power automation was rarely a problem. However, it asked more of the driver them I amused to nowadays, and would be extremely unpopular if they even still made such a thing.
alas, usually in cutting environments like this the caustic assholes are the ones who stay and the ones who haven't presented their output in the best way are the ones who will be cut.
Exactly, I want more power for my programming projects, most of which are open source. Github is moving slowly into business, which is basically opposite the reason that people started using it.

I didn't start using Github to have a neat resume to hand out to companies, I started using it because it allows me to collaborate in open source projects in an easy way without much overhead. And I've loved doing projects for fun there.

I just hope it doesn't become Linkedin, as I recently closed my account there.

There's nothing especially derisive in my assessment. I don't think the content is bad, just boring. I also think it's too technical for a non-specialist audience.

My first criticism is that generative models are not something specific to neural nets but that's not obvious from the article.

My second criticism is that their explanations are overly mechanical. In the case of DCGAN the article begins by talking about parameters and magic numbers; i.e. they explain how the thing works rather than what it does, at an intuitive level.

Clear enough?
iirc Apple doesn't have official support for VP9 and its suppor for h.265 is limited to FaceTime only for some reason.

>Indeed, the presence of emergency brakes could very well reduce the number of accidents, while at the same time making people rather lazy and eventually _causing_ some.

Is there a psychological term for this thought process?

The thought process: People killing people is "okay" but people killing (overall) fewer people because they are relying on "emergency auto-brake systems" is "not okay".

For me, it is a no brainer to reduce human casualties as much as possible. But it seems others disagree with that if some automated system is responsible for deaths instead of a human. Is it because blame is harder to place?
Driving such a vehicle is not entirely fun. My first was a Kaiser 1967 Jeep CJ-5, the short wheel base version, before they started the safety etc. updates with the CJ-7 (the -6 was a contemporary with of the -5 a longer wheel base).

Note also this was a light vehicle; turning the wheels was quite hard unless you were moving a bit, and the brakes required a tremendous amount of force, it took me a long while to not hit contemporary '70s power brakes too hard.

What else: the windshield wipers were powered by engine vacuum, and slowed down when you accelerated (this one had a V6, so it was pretty powerful, and pretty zippy 0-30 MPH, only 3 gears forward so it lagged after that). Oh, yeah, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11919653 cars thought that era had electro-mechanical turn signals. In the case of this Jeep, the turn signal control was kludged onto the steering wheel, there was a little rubber wheel which contacted the steering wheel shaft to disengage it after you'd turned.

And not entirely reliable, 10-12 years old when I drove it, it had a towing hitch on the front, which was used more than once.

That's why I still drive my 2000 Integra. It's not without a computer, but it's mostly mechanical. I can fix nearly everything myself, and I do. It still gets decent mileage, it's incredibly reliable, and parts are relatively cheap and plentiful.
Not really. For instance, in my profile [1] I started two somewhat popular projects, however since I started them as independent "organizations" (as should be the case in this situation) they were in "projects I help with". It totally made it look like it was a one-time off contribution, while it's not the case.

Having had two touch screens in two different cars, and having my first car plow into a tree because I was trying to use one, I can agree. They are highly distracting.

My 2002 Nissan has physical buttons and also little feeler dots to enable completely blind operation, and the information is displayed high on the dash so you don't have to look far.

But by far the best experience I have had with in car entertainment was a simple bluetooth link to my phone and a physical volume knob on the head unit.

Hop in, start driving and the music is automatically playing what I was listening to wherever I was before. Volume up or down as appropriate, eyes never leaving the road.
Daniel Patrick Moynhan[1] chaired the Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy[2] and wrote a book called Secrecy: The American Experience[3]. His main thesis (IIRC, I read it awhile ago) was that information is an important asset in government. People in government naturally seek to obtain it, hoard it, and only trade it at a price. He argued that much of government secrecy serves that dynamic rather than national interests.

He also asserts that ideas suffer from being developed in secret, often in insular echo chambers, where they are not exposed to the light of day of public debate and of outside ideas and points of view - a sort of cathedral vs. bazaar perspective. (Again, IIRC.)

Probably everyone here would like something like this. But the decisions aren't going to be made by the sort of people who read this, they're going to be made by auto marketing executives. Then they're going to operate in an environment regulated according to lobbying by automakers. We're going to get auto electronics with software that becomes obsolete about as fast as a typical Android smart phone. I realistically think that when the major legacy automakers ship something vaguely similar to a Tesla dashboard, the best a buyer can hope for is that it remains vaguely updated for a year or two, and then only critical vehicle safety changes might be made forever thereafter.

But you can also look at this and the point of view of carmakers. What an amazing boon to sales. This is a way to finally solve the ultimate problem of selling cars today. A car you make today has to compete with the extremely good car you made five years ago that still works great, still looks great, and is much much cheaper.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, an exception for me would be a smart thermostat I think - but that's largely it.

> > The CDDL has a provision that if any part is held unenforcible it will be modified to make it enforceable. As a matter of licensing, that's incredibly devious and bad. There's other super dodgy parts of the CDDL that make it a bad license purely from a license point of view, let alone from "freedoms given to users" perspective.

> Wait until you discover the BSD license, which lets you do whatever you want with the code... you might get a stroke (:-D)

Including someone taking my software, making it proprietary and mistreating users. I would prefer that less people use my code than someone doing that.

> GPL gave me no freedoms, it gave me the GNU userland tools and GNU/Linux (illumos / SmartOS and AT&T SVR4 tools are just fine, thank you, do not want GNU!)

Wow, so much vitriol for a license that actually created the world we live in today. I'm slightly impressed by how much you hate a license that gives users perpetual freedom. Also, why do you think that CDDL's weak copyleft is better than GPL? I understand, but don't agree with, people who hate copyleft altogether -- but you only hate the GPL.

> Luckily I don't have to license anything under the GPL, GPL cannot take that away from me as long as I don't link with the kernel code licensed under it, or derive code / work from it.

You can dual-license modifications to GPL code. I think doing that is dumb, but you can do it.

> And I'll be extra careful I don't ever land myself in a position where I would have to license something under the GPL. Any other FOSS license is better than the GPL, I have no problem with open sourcing, and cannot wait to clean up my code in order to set it free.

It's so sad that you don't ever want to make contributions to a large body of free software.

> Finally, CDDL is both FSF and OSI approved: the open source initiative looked over the CDDL license and deemed it to be in compliance with open source. I will take what is in my view their expert finding over your position, but thank you for sharing your opinion.

I know its a free software license. I'm just saying it's a bad free software license. The original BSD license was also a bad free software license (requiring you to add a line to all advertising about the source project).

The first thing you should do, if you want Silicon Valley to help fight cyberterrorism, is not talk to it via the RAND Corporation. Politically, Silicon Valley is an uneasy truce between liberals and libertarians, and while they don't agree on everything, I think one thing they share is a negative attitude towards the RAND Corporation; perceiving it as the face of the unaccountable military-industrial complex and its close friend, the panopticon surveillance state.
