> Just being the old version is not the right kind of difference.

In a purely commercial context this worked for some time for products like PagePlus: you would get an older version from on magazine cover disks. For many the older version was good enough to do what they needed, for others the upgrade path to get the extra features was obvious and they would often buy the newer version of what they'd already played with without even looking for alternatives.

Depending on the product I'm not sure I would trust an older version these days though. A desktop only DTP app like PP maybe, but anything online, at all security related, or just that I might put credentials into; I would have security concerns unless there was some sort of guarantee that security updates were getting back-ported. That and in a lot of cases there may well be a Free+free option as good as the 18+ month old version of [whatever].

As you and others have already stated, the straight dual-licensing model makes more sense from the user PoV (and maybe form the developer PoV too, though I expect opinion to differ more widely there).

Regular is actually incredibly useful because it allows you to confidently parse or validate (large amounts of) untrusted data without having to worry about DoS attacks.

I'd argue that this is useful, even if you use it as part of a parser that doesn't just parse regular languages, as you'll have a slightly easier time reasoning about the time and space complexity of the construction.

Law is ideally not different to morality. The same ethic measures should apply to both. The law is supposed to codify morality.

Law is also negotiable, that's why parliament literally means discussion.

Okey guys there has been some additions in what you need to do nowadays because of some problem regarding encryption libraries.

What you do on mac is:

brew update
brew install openssl
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

Then download the .net core installer for mac and it will work. Also make sure you download the C# extension in VS Code.

I'm sorry too, I kind of threw that in there without much thought. If I had to be more specific, I'd say that what you've done is really more like enshrining what you in particular have done at your company, without too much thought about what might be generally applicable.

For instance, the way you recommend a hyper-specific style of elevator pitching I think has basically no impact on success. Success with pitching is (according to my dumbass) way more about identifying who your actual audience is and why they care than about getting this perfect "pitch" correct. The discovery process around that is much harder and ambiguous than defining a pitch on paper.

Also, you have really specific stuff in there like "blast your contact list". I mean, okay, I think that might work for some people in some industries, but I don't think it's great advice for the median new founder. Neither is doing a CAC/LTV for a business when you haven't even figured out potential distribution much use, either.

Anyway, my longwinded point is that this is kind of culty. What makes cults what they are? I think it boils down to their unshakable conviction that their specific rituals are correct and their motivation to convince others of that. I don't think that "follow these specific actions and you will have a business" is advice that you can give in good conscience.
Obviously what the kid did was illegal and morally wrong, and contacting his family was certainly effective. But I believe that contacting his family probably violated most state and federal debt collection laws. After all, essentially what happened is that he was late on a $380 debt payment.

Imagine if you were a few days late on a credit card payment, and they started calling your relatives telling them that if they weren't paid, they would be going to the cops. That is very illegal, and in that scenario the credit card company could be sued for damages. These two scenarios have some legal equivalence - someone that is owed a debt contacts family and uses embarrassment as leverage to collect. There have been many cases where criminals have successfully sued their victims and this may be a good candidate. This blog post, which this kid's lawyer would paint as a public celebration of the damage done to his client's life, doesn't help matters.

So what he did in this case was logical, and probably even cut the kid a break, but it probably exposed him to legal liability. He should have just gone to the cops and let it play out if that was his actual intention after not being paid.

I was in Capitol Hill a couple of weeks ago. Nice place. How do you factor cost into your argument? It seems the only way you could afford to house a family in Capitol Hill is either by building low cost apartments or by striking it rich at a company like Amazon or Microsoft (which leads to an undesirable monoculture as found in SF). I would have thought you would favor microhousing, as increasing density would lower the cost of land, making family sized housing more affordable.

Update: the more I think about this, the more it doesn't make sense to me. I don't think Amazon tech workers, earning, say, $8K a month, are the target for microhousing. I really don't see how pushing down price will do anything other than increase diversity.
I agree. If you use something like SourceTree, you can also see the git command, in case you end up needing to know what it is. Best of both worlds.

> Why is "like $X but under a permissive license" something that people champion for? Are we not all in the same boat, trying to replace proprietary software so users can live in freedom? Permissive licenses simply do not help achieve this goal as effectively as copyleft licenses do.

In general, the people who champion for permissive licenses are not the same people who care at all about replacing proprietary software or "users living in freedom." The purpose of using a permissive license is indeed to aid proprietary software development, not hinder it - and I believe Apache OO was relicensed in this manner for the explicit purpose of being an upstream for proprietary end-user applications, rather than as an end-user application itself.
Can these just be designed so you can later combine small units into a larger one later on if needed?

More likely result, if there ends up being a dearth of young single people, is people who commute in from the burbs will buy these units to use during the week and airbnb them on weekends.

And I question that only young people will want these units. I'm in my 50s and would love to have a tiny affordable place in the city, even if I only used it on weekends and airbnb'd it the rest of the time.

Do I want to buy an expensive 2 bedroom with garage in the city? Not really.
Has any one dealt with DDoS attack on a static hosting (S3 + Couldfront) set up?

I sometimes fear that if something like this happens the bandwidth bill will be too much to handle for small personal projects. Also it's a pain that AWS doesn't allow one to set hard limits on cloud spending. Yes, they allow to set up some billing alarms, but no hard limits. No guarantee that no matter what, the month's hosting bill will not exceed $10 for this project.

For small personal projects a tiny VPS seems to be safer from this angle. At max a DDoS will cripple the VPS but the hosting bill will stay the same.

If you have been through this, did you get any discounts from AWS for resources being used during DDoS attack or you had to pay the full amount.
A nice property of the model is that it is easy to compute exact log-likelihoods for both training data and unseen data, so one can actually measure the degree of overfitting (which is not true for many other types of generative models). Another nice property of the model is that it seems to be extremely resilient to overfitting, based on these measurements.

Surprised he finds git to be complicated. It probably is deep down, but for day-to-day use, compare it to SVN.

My point was that I've never had to care if a jar contained C libraries or not. Some do, many don't, but I've never had to care. Maybe I've just been lucky.

I suppose it could have been a fat-jar thing: if the jar contains its non-java dependencies for my platform, then everything just works. If the native libs are separate, then sure, its a similar issue as described elsewhere here.

Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with you. Just adding my own anecdote.
The bulk of these buildings tend to be purpose-built rental stacks. Towers built under these conditions tend to have very low strata fees, poor maintenance, and can easily fall in to slum style living. The ownership can extract high rents for little space, and people can sublet to even more people to make for bunk housing. Why not just go Hong Kong style?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_home

There is a slide towards smaller and smaller apartments. Two bedroom units in major city centers are clocking in at 600 sq.ft. at times. Then put two parents and two kids in to one, maybe operate a day care or two out of them. Again, these are rental units, so the owners care about low fees and no phone calls. Renters don't want to lose their place, so the calls don't come. Fools that are owner/residents find themselves trapped.

Buildings with low owner/renter ratio may have programs with mortgages:

http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Selling/What_are_the_curre...

Plus, you never know if a single organization might buy up a massive number of units in the building and throw their weight around the strata to unduly benefit them.

One should also consider the source of the article. The author is a developer who would stand to make significant amounts of money on lower quality, rental focused apartments with more units per block. The hosting site has a huge focus on micro homes as a solution to everyone's needs or desires as well. Look at the list of articles under that section.

So you're effectively saying that these would become unlicensed hotels. That's not very attractive to local residents.

(I actually agree that small apartments would be attractive as pied-a-terres. But that's not really the sort of housing that city planners prioritize or should prioritize.)

Some folks do combine excellent programming skills with excellent business skills, but that's not necessarily what everyone should aim for.

I find that you can score someone on a whole range of skills, much as you can on computer games. The more overall skills you have, the more you will cost. If a job requires excellent programming skills but doesn't need any business skills, then paying for someone that has excellent business sills would probably be a waste of money.

In terms of your parent point about whether all business analysts should learn some programming, I think that programming skills are definitely helpful for business analysts, but they are neither necessary nor sufficient. Different skills help in different situations.

You can't port fixes and new features unless you have a license to do so. That's true in all cases. If you only license you have is GPL, it doesn't allow you to use those in a non-Free way, which I think is the point you are making, and I agree that's how it works.

But that's a feature of GPL, not a bug.

If you are a company producing code and trying to make a living from it, it's risky to release code as BSD/MIT unless you can afford to have someone clone it, close it and sell an improved version, passing it off as their own without giving you anything (like Microsoft did with the BSD TCP stack, and with NCSA mosaic for example). If you release as GPL however, that can't happen. It's much safer in that regard, and more socially considerate too, which is why it's the license of choice for most Linux distro vendors and other major open source vendors such as MySQL.
Any good lawyer would say that the two weren't necessarily connected. All the author knew when he contacted this kid's family was that he was owed $380. He was attempting to collect on that debt by using embarrassment and threats of police involvement.

> The meaning of what a DDL script does is that it asserts/ensures the (non-)existence of database objects in the database.

The DDL also defines what database objects mean. It's the programmer's job to make sure database objects actually mean what the specification says they should mean. Calling it a “customer” isn't enough: it has to have the same attributes, as well as obey the same constraints, as a customer in your problem domain. If your DBMS can't enforce this, it's not a customer, no matter what you call it.

> This has absolutely nothing to do with the intended interpretation that the designer attaches to those of the database objects that are base tables/relations/relvars and derived ones in his design.

If your DBMS's DDL is sufficiently expressive, you can arrange things so that the behavior of your database objects matches your intended interpretation. (And, if it isn't sufficiently expressive, you should switch DBMSes.) This is the whole point to studying database models.
I think your use of the term "understanding" is very unhelpful here. It's better to think about what you need to condition on to predict correctly.

In fact most intonation decisions are pretty local, within a sentence or two. The most important thing are given/new contrasts, i.e. the information structure. This is largely determined by the syntax, which we're doing pretty well at predicting, and which latent representations in a neural network can be expected to capture adequately.

How does it do that without users? I was taught, anyone with any interest in the operation is a stakeholder. If easy dispersion of information is their offer to users, they should be liable for that. If they aren't, the user should either seek support from the government to hold the debtor (facebook) accountable in an anti-trust issue, or consequently reevaluate the offer, if the original intent can not be expected anymore.

Since FB uses advertisement, which is controversial, this is not a clear cut case to me. Because of multiple share holders, facebook has to arbitrate the interests in their own interest. This is also controversial in the question of delivering the best experience regardless of the advertisement. The advertisement just makes it so much more complicated, because it often times borders on deception, if not fraud.
