There's a difference between "extended features for commercial versions" and "adware". Usually the open source version includes core features that solve a basic set of problems, and the commercial versions add additional features to solve other and/or larger problems. At no point is there an explicit crippling of the open source.

What's particularly frustrating is the burying of the lede here. The summary of the page intentionally omits the fact that you can build from source and use it in commercial contexts. And the section discussing the Apache license is factually incorrect: "Remember that building Caddy from source is still subject to the Apache 2.0 license which requires attribution and stating changes." -- that is only true if you are selling on-prem software that ships with the program. If you are using it in the normal course of your SaaS, no attribution is required.
We like startups here, so we pretend they didn't leverage ejabberd.
We no longer have a free market. Central banks print and buy stocks, bonds, and mortgage backed securities. China prints and their citizens buy homes in foreign countries.
I am not fan of replacing classic pricing model with recurring payments but instead of forcing recurring payment, allow that option for extra feature. Make the base app as it is now and add something on top of that for small fee. Like I suggested earlier, make small cloud service for syncing configs, addons and projects between installations. It's not a big thing, not deal breaking, it can be even done using rsync by user but I would happily pay couple dollars for that functionality and I would support devs. Development is recurring cost. Without aggressive marketing, like for example Microsoft, it's very hard to pay developers from selling not recurring licences every 3 or 4 years.
Please come to Vancouver, BC. We have bidding wars on houses and many have sold WAY over the asking price. Here's a fine example: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-tea...
""Pedantry: excessive concern with minor details and rules."

The article could do without the (almost) personal attacks, but it (also) discredits the results and the logic in the paper that leads to the results. I don't think the details it focuses on (most importantly that the skeletons may have been mixed up and that we don't know what burial items mean) to do the discrediting are minor, nor do I think the concern with it is excessive.

Sadly, you're probably correct. Although we should never underestimate the incompetence of government, but this is too crazy to be incompetence.
See Iran Contra. Congress made it illegal to use tax payer $ to fund Nicaraguan terrorists, so the MIC created a clandestine workaround.

When I can, they are paid before I send them because I stipulate a retainer in the contract and further stipulate that the retainer is to be applied against final invoice. Likewise, my default terms include payment is due upon receipt and failure to pay is grounds for stopping work.

The only one that really matters is the retainer, because that's the one about who owes who what and it means I owe work instead of the client owing me money. It prevents clients from using me as a bank.

That's not to say that some clients have well defined invoicing processes and that I wont' work with some of those. I say 'some' because some other client side well defined payment processes include partial payment or slow payment or no payment. And those are clients I generally want to avoid.

One of the things a retainer does is that it demonstrates how the client really views the idea of paying me. If they struggle with the idea of writing me a check during the honeymoon, it probably ain't going to get any easier for the client as the project proceeds and when it snags in the middle or when the client has what they want. And deeper down, the basis of good client relations is less contracts and more mutual trust. Clients who default to not trusting professionals tend not to be worth the effort of trying to earn their trust.

Good luck.
That is the definition of providing monetary value to someone, not actual value to society. The two are correlated, but weakly.
> some projects embedding SpiderMonkey

yea, I remember the woes of building CouchDB from source....about half the issues generally seemed to be SpiderMonkey related.
I have nothing but good to say about Sublime Text. I love it. I bought a license for it. It's great.

But.

Its slow progress over the last few years reminded me of the risks of trusting proprietary software for my main work tools - especially when that software has a very low bus factor. That doesn't mean I won't use closed software or that I dislike the authors or anything, but that if I'm going to invest hundreds of hours into solidly learning and customizing something, I want to have faith that it's not going anywhere. That's why I waved a sad goodbye to the otherwise excellent Sublime Text and went back to [open source editor].

Packaging Python software with pbr
It is so subpar compared to native, both in terms of time needed to reach the result (6 weeks 4 engineers) and fps (30 fps, no low pass filter, lots of noise and drop in the result...) that it confirms me that wasm is not ready for primetime. Overall, the web techonologies are loosing ground.

I wouldn't build any company around this technology.

Aside: I don't think it should be legal to not accept the asking price for a home. With any other thing I want to buy, if I agree to pay the list price I get the item. Sometimes I can haggle the price down but the listed price is always accepted.

This system of listing a price to 'get people in the door' and then igniting a bidding war makes it impossible for anyone to shop for a house except for realtors who are 'in the know' and can tell you the real price based on listing.

Assad is also Russia, that's a pretty big deal.
Its worth noting how this conflict also draws in people linked to Hamas and Hezbollah. Its suspected that part of ISIS's emergence was due to Turkey as they expanded towards the Kurds (a key demographic that Turkey is keen on subduing) so it really is a clusterfuck before we even start to consider US/Russian involvement.
I imagine the calculation is more like risking $1 million out of several million of assets.

There is always the potential for a crash in the housing market, but it can also end up that the $2.5 million is a winning investment (as compared to being spent).
Maybe but probably not. In my experience, amazon clearly distinguishes between the "business side" and the "engineering side". All the MBAs end up on the business side.

They will, however, have a manager whose promotion path depends on how many MBAs can be persuaded to like them.
> The authors are also wasting no time in going after forks[1] to complain about trademark infringement, so if you want to distribute your own patched Caddy builds you can expect to hear from their lawyers. Absolutely devoid of class.

This in particular doesn't seem fair. Trademark really requires trademark holders to make active efforts to preserve their trademarks as soon as they're aware of potential breaches, or they invite risk. And this is a simple request in the fork's issues page - no lawyers are involved yet, as far as I can tell.
Yes South Bay is so overpriced right now it’s ridiculous. Keep in mind that 5 years ago that same house would have sold for 650k and even then people would have been complaining that’s it was way overpriced.

One things certain, east bay across the 84 is still under a million at the moment. I suspect that will change soon.

> It assumes you understand the Apache 2.0 license and makes no attempt to clarify that businesses can use the open source version.

The authors are absolutely operating in bad faith here. The summary at the top completely omits the case of commercial users building from source, and the language confusion between "use Caddy" vs "use or distribute official Caddy binaries" intentionally tries to confuse the matter.

> Remember that building Caddy from source is still subject to the Apache 2.0 license which requires attribution and stating changes.

This is incorrect. Building Caddy from source and using it in your infrastructure requires no disclosure according to Apache 2. It is only when you decide to embed it in an on-premises version that you sell to customers (who run it on their infrastructure) does the disclosure requirement kick in.
Requiem for a Scream
People warned us. They told us so. Instead of building decentralized tools that protected and empowered user data we've spent the last 20 15 years uploading our entire lives to Google and Facebook.
As an enthusiastic Emacs user I can say that Sublime Text is one of the best text editors out there, together with Emacs and Vi-family. I've only sporadically used it but it's really nice. If I was using my "text editor" only for text-editing (I use Emacs apps like Gnus, Elfeed and Org-mode, and really enjoy Elisp and the programmable environment it provides), I'd definitely use it.

One thing that I don't understand is though, when I buy ST, what do I buy? I've only seen others use full versions but as far as I can tell it's only the [UNREGISTERED] bit in the titlebar and the random "please buy me" popup. It's understandable that one would pay merely to sustain its development but is there any actual differences?
It seems like it would be far less controversial if they took the cute machine learning tech and ran a b2b company that helped existing mom-and-pop stores service their communities.
Can someone write an article about this??
That just shifts things to everybody listing their house for far more than it is worth.

The response to that is to either not worry about it or to have some entity fixing prices...
One issue I see is: houses aren't like any other item, there are exactly only one of each house. If you miss out on the house you want, you can't go across town and get another one just like.

Edit to add: Also, it occurs to me, if you go to ebay.com you can bid at auction for general consumer goods. So there's that.

You've more or less described Microsoft's Continuum [1]. Even down to the "handful of apps." Continuum as it exists today runs UWP applications only.

Rumors have been circulating for years about some future Microsoft mobile device. The latest rumors suggest a Windows 10 ARM device with x86 emulation and their new CShell "responsive" UI. If that rumor pans out, it's possible Windows 10 ARM may also include the Windows Linux subsystem, getting you closer to your ideal.

It's fine if they just want to do something different, but leaving isn't only seen as a reflection of their opinion of the post-accusation company. It still represents a brain drain regardless of motivation.
The iTunes app is a notorious example.
To be realistic, Whatsapp is massive and popular, but totally incomparable to Microsoft or Google as a company. Whatsapp is a chat app, Microsoft is the operating system and office software of 1.25 billion computers around the world.
Everything is soaked in historical context, including how things are today. If what we see now is biological, then that implies we've somehow just arrived at a point where we eliminated external factors, which doesn't make sense to me.

And I don't buy this explanation about the war. Women were significantly more present in computing as late as the 1980s. For example, the percentage of women majoring in computer science was over 35% in 1985, versus under 20% today.
Have a look here at their MBA landing page.

https://www.amazon.jobs/team/university-mba-graduate

I know that some people love to hate on MBA's but a couple of things:

- Amazon is a pretty data driven company, if MBA's provided no value, or negative value as some HN's readers seem to think, they wouldn't be hiring them.

- Jeff Bezos worked for a well known hedge fund before amazon, he's no stranger to having MBA's around.

- Most of these MBA's seem to be in operations, which makes alot of sense as one of the largest portions of an MBA degree is how to runa company:)

Amazon is also not alone in vacuuming up new MBA grads.

http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-google-amazon-hiring-mb...

Whether you want to admit it or not, MBA's provide a lot of value to larger organizations, tech or not.

At this point, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple have all hired alot of MBA's in the past few years. These companies voted with their cash and made it very clear, MBA's provide alot of value.
> Aside: I don't think it should be legal to not accept the asking price for a home.

You're attacking basic supply and demand here. Let's say I set a list price and then figure out I could have asked for more...you want to legally bind me to sell for less than what the free market is willing to offer? Where does this stop? Should we ban speculative investments as a whole?
If you do build it yourself, you don't fall under the commercial license, so it's correct if those are not detected.
To work off of what saosebastiao said, most developers at Amazon are going to report to a team lead or engineering manager. Both of these are going to be technical people, whether they have an MBA or not (unlikely). So obviously if you move up high enough in the company you'll eventually report to someone non-technical, but the folks writing code for 80% of their day are almost certainly reporting to another developer.
Sorry, wouldn't it be $1/7 = 14cents per follower?
The linked article raises four concerns:

1. It's not clear whether the skeleton goes with the grave -- The excavation was in the 19th century and there are various methodological concerns.

2. It's not clear that the graveyard was for "warriors" -- The number of bodies with serious injuries is low.

3. It's not clear that the grave was for someone of "high rank", particularly in as much as "high rank" modifies "warrior".

4. The paper gives short shrift to the work of language/text specialists. Notable in light of (2) and (3) above.

How much each of these things is a problem is going to depend on deep factual information, but they are not indicative of "excessive concern with minor details and rules".
$7? I think you mean $.14?
Avoiding unnecessary costs is a solid business decision.
peronally, while totally leaving my life unaffected, it'd be one of those thoughts in the back of my head, both knowing that there is some random text being output (need to optimize everything!), and that there is something intentionally uncontrollable there, and to a lesser degree, something there to intentionally bother me.

Can I ask who came up with the idea, and what other alternatives were discussed? Was this requested by the sponsors?

edit: as a further question, if this results in a fork (well, I guess thats a bit late but) or an increase in the number of from-source builds, would you seek to make those two options more difficult? (e.g. legal pressure, or mangling the codebase in some way with hard to acquire dependencies)
All software has hardware requirements.
In France, there's no such thing as paying over the ask price. You are forced to sell to the first buyer who offers to pay the ask price. I suspect that this is done to prevent prices from rising too quickly.
What problem does that really solve? Most people shop on Redfin anyway, which gives a fairly accurate estimate for what the house will sell for.
The other way round: 100k/700k = 0.14$ per follower.
The sand boxing requirements plus STs plugins may make that a non starter.
There are two services that are gateways for small, independent (but prominent / notorious) internet sites:

CloudFlare and Google Project Shield.

These are the two only services that provide affordable DDoS protection, even for 100++Gbps, for $200/month or free.

Tell me another provider like CloudFlare that will protect a blog against a 100Gbps DDoS for $200 a month.

---

By the way, regulating CloudFlare by limiting its ability to choose customers would be unconstitutional under the 1st amendment, would it not? There are a very specific number of protected classes that private individuals or companies can't discriminate against.

"Do not discriminate against hate speech" is not a class.

There's not even a registered trademark, as they stated. And simply distributing a modified version of an open source project under that project's name is absolutely fine and pushing against it is definitely in bad faith.

It has worked in the past, for example: I would consider the recent FontAwesome 5 kickstarter campaign a huge success both from a funding point of view and the backers getting what they wanted. This was only really possible in my opinion due to the reputation Dave Gandy built up by releasing the open source version of FA prior. One needs only to look at the myriad of failed software kickstarters for examples of what happens when a unknown person who hasn't proven they are capable of delivering what people want tries the same thing.
> Do FOSS folks lament this dramatic irony a lot?

Not so dramatic as linux and FOSS have brought us so much more. FreeBSD too.
> Could you share which version of NGINX you found the issue with the reloads? Which version the fix was released?

I'm using 0.9.0-beta.13. I first reported this issue in a NGINX ingress PR[1], so the last couple of releases are not suffering from the bug I reported in the blog post.

> I find it interesting/brave that you use a single cluster for several environments.

I'm not working for a big corporation, so dev/staging/prod "environments" are just three deployment pipelines to the same infrastructure.

As of now, things are running smoothly as they are, but I might as well use different clusters for each environment in the future.

At this point, they are trying to support a secular and a relatively liberal (relative to an alternative) regime against ISIS and other jihadis, yes. To see an alternative, take a look at Libya after Gaddafi where there are literally slave markets in 2017.

I bought ST2 in 2013, and I'm a littled bummed they pushed the "your license works for ST3" back that far. They deserve more; I might buy another copy anyway.

(My favorite editor is an Emacs clone called Epsilon. It hasn't been updated in a decade, but it still works great. On the other hand, it hasn't been updated in a decade and I think the writing is on the walls, and I'll have to move to something else. 25 years of muscle memory are hard to deal with, though. I'd definitely throw some money the author's way if he ever decided to do a new release).
People won't agree on what is "inflammatory", so the tagging system kind of falls apart.

Or perhaps I'm a student with no income trying to write a thesis at the same time as bootstrap a startup, and can't afford to spend $100/month on a reverse proxy? The new EULA states I'm not allowed to use the personal build, so I have little choice in that matter.

This is a modern phenomenon wholly reliant on the predictable cost of industrially-produced goods. Houses are different. Your proposal would lead to: most people (a) listing at $100 billion, (b) giving no listing price, or (c) becoming reliant on third-party pricing consultants, since you only get one chance to get it right.
