Yes, well, that may be so but in some cases those family members are disconnected for a reason. FWIW I have a pretty good reason to be as disconnected from some of my family members as is possible and I find it presumptuous of you that you would feel that your research (which you do for yourself, not for me) would trump my personal interests. After all it would be my name, not yours out there. You are entirely free to do as much research about your genealogy as you wish, but there is absolutely no need to do such a thing publicly.

BSD or MIT are more liberal??

The reality is that there is nothing called 'absolute freedom or liberty.' Freedom may be defined as the terms that are acceptable to the whole community, not as an individual.

Say for example, GNU GPL Freedom translated to real life: I can't kill you, so you shouldn't kill others.

and the same terms for MIT/BSD: I'm letting you alive, but it is Okay for you to kill others (including me).

Which one (GPL vs others) do you now think is more liberal?
Yes, and the person you are replying to is pointing out there are videos on iTunes that aren't on YouTube. So if someone wants to fully archive the content, then the iTunes videos also need to be archived.
Indian Homestay Startup Founder Arrested for Wrong Reasons
Oddly enough developers at my last company who were self-taught were consistently better than those that had formal CS education...
Copyleft is an interesting invention. It isn't in any way necessary for that freedom thing. It never was. I can't speak to RS's original motivations, but I know well how the licenses were originally perceived, sold, and even argued against. If your argument means that RS et al will cheerfully drop the patent and tivoization clauses as extraneous; great. So far, I have seen no hint of this. The best way to summarize your argument is that RS got wildly distracted from his original goals, and that's my argument.
How did it stay red during bulb replacement? Article is totally misleading!

Germany does not usually have "right turn only"s, at all. That’s the simple answer – this traffic light is the only "right turn only" on a normal intersection in Germany. (which is why it has its own wikipedia entry, and website).

I don't think I've ever seen a single flashing red light that wasn't accompanied by a stop sign.
Awesome!! I knew I couldn't be the only one with that idea.
In California, I've seen single-socket traffic lights in all three colors. So it wouldn't have to be custom-made. The green ones usually have a directional arrow forward (amber and red usually blink) so they could probably accomplish the same effect with stock parts: red arrow pointing right in a single socket.

Thanks for the clarification. It's a bit odd in that it already has the right turn only sign but they decided to also install a traffic light --maybe the solid striped median line and the right turn only were not enough to signal people and there were enough accidents that the DoT decided to make it really obvious that vehicles should not cross.
Javadoc-like comments ("Haddocks") are pretty widely used, and Hackage (the Haskell library index) let's you browse them and so on.

See [0] for a good example of well-commented but idiomatic Haskell (a snippet from the popular Megaparsec parser library), which includes things like:

data ParsecT e s m a

ParsecT e s m a is a parser with
custom data component of error e,
stream type s, underlying monad m
and return type a.

Admitted, that is a monad transformer, but one-character type variables with human-readable docs are both good for newcomers as well as low-friction for people who are used to the library in question.

(Strawman alert.) It is significantly more work to parse (ha) something like

ExceptT fooException (StateT fooWorldState underlyingMonad) a

when compared to

ExceptT e (StateT s m) a

No no, just 'attributed' where the attributes are things like 'bold', it's not a thing that really focuses on structure like LaTeX. There's nothing particularly magical about Wordstar, it's just an early and popular word processor from the 80s. The fact that there are fiction writers still using it probably says less about Wordstar itself and more about the role of tools in creative writing.
The best version of this I've ever heard was something along the lines of: "Dont try to beat Mark Zuckerberg at being Mark Zuckerberg, he'll always win." What I take from that is that the way to compete is to build a successful business, not to be someone in particular. When we compete, we each have our own set of strengths and weaknesses. I have mine and Mark Zuckerberg has his. What that means is that I have strengths where he has weakness. Why would I not apply that strength? Just to be more like him? A simple example is that I understand that people (for better or worse) judge you for how you look. Therefore, I dont go into professional meeting with people I dont know wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
Barcode Integration with SSRS 2014 and Barcode Text Generation Process for PDF417
It isn't surprising, it's dispositive - freeloading actually seems worse with the GPL, since contributions trigger some nasty legal consequences, such as the patent grabs. Please read the darn license. If you use, but don't distribute or contribute to the code, many clauses do not apply to you.

BSD gets a lot of contributions back, including many from corporations that forbid use of GPLed code. Of course, as with other open source projects, there are non-contributors, and the scale of that (cough, Apple) can indeed be galling. But over time, a lot of the sting has been taken out of that, as corporations have seen the long-term advantages to open source in helping them avoid another firm's lock-in and network effects. So nowadays, you can fork a lot of code, take it proprietary.. but then fail to sell it, since what you've mostly added is adverse lock-in, etc.

The real solution is governmental - code isn't art. It should have a four or seven year "copyright" and then go into the public domain. But that copyright doesn't go on executables unless the code is revealed first. Two recent court cases that have, astonishingly, treated copyrights to code as something more like patents of ideas or methods have really underlined this for me. One is the Facebook/Oculus case (yes it's Texas, but really!) The other is the Facebook/Nearby Places case.

You keep repeating this sentiment, but you haven't brought forward any argument why GPL doesn't achieve its goals, even if, eventually, some of the software gets reinvented with a different license.

I could take your argument and use it the same way vs proprietary software - why even bother writing it, if some of it is going to end up being remade(or even just relicensed!) under an MIT license?

In both cases, the developer extracted some value from the licensing.
Facebook vs. Data Portability: Who Owns an Individual’s Data? SCOTUS to Decide
Most folks on HN are part of the startup crowd, and what that crowd misses is that while GCP is technically superior in every way, they have no idea how to sell to an enterprise.

Google's sales method is, "There's the docs, good luck". Enterprises don't like that. They like to be hand held, they like lots of humans taking them out for lunches and dinners.

So far Google has not shown any inclination that they know how to enterprise, and in fact it's fairly counter-cultural for them.

If they learn to sell to the enterprise, I agree with you.

But right now, almost all the money in cloud is with the enterprise, and right now Google has no idea how to address that market.

Hilarious Developer iMessage Stickers
I came across a light like this once and noted it. After some thought though I realized that it actually makes perfect sense. The goal of the light is to never let people go straight and people can only turn on a green arrow. It is the only logical output for this goal as far as I can tell. If it were just a red arrow and a green arrow, without a full red people may think they can go straight, because there is no light preventing them explicitly. It's pretty funny.
It also varies a lot depending on what one considers interesting. In my own experience, 90% of meetup.com (like 90% of everything) is crap.

I think "be your best self" is far more uplifting and positive than the ambiguous "be yourself". The latter leaves open that it is OK to succumb to any negative or bad thoughts, impulses or actions, instead of rejecting or controlling them.

Perhaps we should just aspire to smile, don't judge others, do what is good and right, say only good things of others, and don't remain silent or inactive in the face of injustice or cruelty. Or is it OK to not do this if it is at odds with just "be yourself"?
Erm, weren't the contributors angry because they weren't getting compensation for their GPL-contributed work?

No, they can't take them back. BSD and MIT aren't revokable. Anyone can fork them, but the BSD code remains available.

ok, just to start let me acknowledge that sexism is pervasive in tech as well as elsewhere.

but maybe Silicon Valley is awful to everyone. the reality distortion field that sustains the notion that these people are special, in fact gods among men, twists the normal social contract into something unrecognizable.

put that in the context of a fairly sexist society, add a healthy dose of people who are in tech because they couldn't hack it in the normal world, and voila
This sounds interesting but as someone outside this community, I would appreciate a little more background information. I have no idea what exactly the GraphQL API lets you do, what Apollo or Relay are, or even what language this is all in (guessing Javascript from the npm mention).

Speaking of Apple, you know the only reason webkit and chromium are open source? It's because it was built off the (L)GPL. If it was BSD/MIT then webkit would have been completely closed. That means no Chrome and no electron (well maybe that's a good thing).

> But over time, a lot of the sting has been taken out of that, as corporations have seen the long-term advantages to open source in helping them avoid another firm's lock-in and network effects.

And what about when you can sell it, like with a closed sourced android that is locked in to google?
It's a good story.

I know many people who studied life science subjects like Chemistry or Physics and got jobs in top cs companies. Most of them were self taught(physics dudes use some level of programming )

To be a programmer, you need to have a solid problem-solving skill. Pick up a language(invest money in books in any one programming language, DS and Algo, OOPS) and invest time in websites like hackerrank.

You can easily build anything on the above skills. No matter how well you studied basic database and os stuffs, you will always need a google search before using in real life.
If you just pick up a math book, you'll learn lots of stuff that you don't need to know. That's fine, but it strikes me as a good way to avoid actually doing anything and gaining practical experience.

If you hit a wall in practice because you don't understand the math, you'll usually have enough of an idea of the problem to ask more intelligent questions about what kind of math you need. That will, incidentally, help you understand the math better because you're coming to it out of an actual need rather than just seeing it mixed into a bunch of chapters.

Unless you're going to write a machine learning framework or be a researcher, the required math isn't too bad and it sounds like you might have enough of a background already. So don't be afraid to dive into something practical (like a kaggle competition).

FWIW this is a really good blog for insight into the math and intuition behind deep learning: http://colah.github.io/ (i'm not sure if it's quite what you're looking for though)

> The reason the FCC needs to regulate public airspace is because transmissions interfere with each other.

It's the exact same situation with net neutrality. If an ISP decides to give traffic from some hosts higher priority than my traffic, then that other traffic is interfering with my communications in the exact same way as an antenna that transmits a 50 GW signal on nearly all frequencies.

> By your logic, the FCC should regulate a conversation two people were having in person just by virtue of them being on public land. Yet the FCC does not. The FCC also does not regulate the signs on the sides of buildings, even though light is reflected from them to public airspace.

It's not that the government must regulate everything that happens in the public sphere. The government should regulate things if it's for the good of everyone (or most everyone), and if those things happen in the public sphere, then it has legitimacy to do it.

So, to address your examples, the FCC should regulate that conversation if those people are so loud that no one else in the city can speak, and it should regulate a sign on the side of a building if it emits such intense light that things in its path catch fire.
I have a love-hate relationship with the crappy smartphone i do have. Like you, i often read HN in dead moments but don't have FB, but find the smartphone useful for directions or quick picture snapping. I'm however still strongly considering going back to a dumb phone (although i've been saying that for about the full 1.5 years i've owned this smartphone) and to hell with the random pictures. Our grandparents seemed perfectly happy and could only capture a 24 roll of family photos every now and then (unless they were journalists or whatever, but you get my drift). I don't know. Part of me does fear i'd miss out on social events or get lost or not be able to take that one picture or...

Probably i should just have more self-control...

That first visualization using d3 is a classic example of a bad visualization isn't it? It's extremely difficult to get a sense of the difference in off-diagonal transition rates, and impossible to get an accurate sense of them or any sense at all of the on-diagonals. And yet, the transition rates could have been conveyed perfectly well by writing them in a 10 by 10 table! Maybe shading the cells of the table somehow to show the rate -- I'm no expert in data visualization -- just not the one chosen!

I think d3 is wonderful, but I worry that this sort of thing will make some people shake their heads and say "fancy JavaScript nonsense just causes people to make bad visualizations nowadays".
I don't think switching will be the answer, but rather federation. We are currently deploying new services on Kubernetes and we can run isolated Kubernetes clusters on either GCP (not just GKE), or on AWS.

While we aren't to the point of using cluster federation for production yet, this is the next logical step. I see a, not to distant, future where we have cluster federation across on premise, GCP, and AWS clusters.

If, like us, your all in on the container Kool-Aid, then I believe the future looks a lot like policy based Kubernetes scheduling across federated clusters. Policy factors like geolocation, spot pricing, resource requirements, SLOs, etc... are all configureable to the app developer and transparently effected by pluggable Kubernetes schedulers.
Except, If I see a red light, I expect it to turn green eventually. On the other hand, If I see a sign telling me I'm only allowed to turn right, I know exactly what's going on. Explicit is better than implicit.
GPL wastes enormous, precious resources. That's not a sentiment, I've specified at least three large, replaced codebases in these comments. Whether, inside the bubble, GPLers are still happy with GPL, doesn't change that.
Indeed, in many areas, it is already true that there's no point writing proprietary code, since open source code will be preferred by your customers - other companies that have been locked-in one time to many.
re developers extracting dollars - some developers have used GPL as a poison-pill, to "encourage" purchase of a separate proprietary license that's modifiable, say. That's hardly evidence of GPL's attractiveness or utility! Much the reverse.

What I like is you can have health insurance for years, lose your job get sick and then end up bankrupt despite paying in for decades.

I had to pay about $600/m for meds for a several years as I was contracting to get back into the industry. $600/mo after tax is kinda painful when you're earning $2000-3000 month and have to pay $900/mo rent.

After I got insurance through my employer it was a copay of $50/mo. After the ACA $10 copay. Kicker though the drugs I take have been 're-patented' otherwise they'd have been a few $ a month all along.

I try to be a funny guy, this isn't funny.
I used to think like you do re: SO. I used to hate it actually, I felt like it detracted from the learning environment prioritizing form over substance. But now I approach it differently: I just create a new dummy account for every new question I have and ask a question following the strict guidelines. I tend to get a response within seconds. And its usually correct.

You may say I'm gaming the system, but SO is broken that way. I had a "permanent" account, but it said I had to wait SIX MONTHS before I could ask another question, because my questions were "bad."

Interestingly, I have one dead dummy account that had 50 points on it. I had an amazing question about time in C++. I can't transfer those points onto my permanent account, so it was a worthless exercise. But I don't really care. A new dummy account will solve all my problems. Why should I invest in getting better and asking better questions if SO won't reward me for doing so? It just rewards God-tier enterprise code-junkies looking to pad their resumes. I'm just a chum in the ocean looking for my meal. I have no qualms in being a dick to the system.

Stack Overflow is terrible because the gamification is terribly implemented. On the one hand you get instantaneous correct responses. On the other hand, if it doesn't have a cherry on top when you ask it, it gets downvoted to oblivion and closed because it's a duplicate (I mean...is it a duplicate if someone can't understand the duplicate?).

I don't even know what I think about it anymore. I think Stack Overflow sucks, but I can't live without it.
