I found it interesting that they revealed an electric truck in Manhattan, I would have thought that would not be a great place for using trucks. I suppose I would not really know though.

I really like the fact that the creators investigated and addressed the issue that all-electric trucks will always have - they are used fundamentally different from sedans and coupes. You will not get very far on a 100 mile charge if you are trying to tow 15,000lbs.

It was also interesting to read that the company targeted a company like UPS as their customer instead of everyday folks. Neat!

I've found that behavior that isn't quite a ritual, but unique to that activity can be highly motivating and beneficial to focus as well. Whenever I want to get deeply focused on code writing, I'll start speaking to myself under my breath. A bit like the intention behind vocalizing your thoughts during a coding interview, it's been very helpful for keeping my mind on track.

It was clear to me from a careful reading that the page did not refer to Redis, but it also seemed deliberately designed to suggest that it did. It seemed pretty scummy.

And the name itself of "Commons Clause" is practically a tiny version of fake news, since it tries to give an "open source" feeling to what is essentially a proprietary license.

As a practical/PR matter, I think Redis Labs have likely shot themselves in the foot. I've been in a low-key debate advocating for Redis Labs over AWS elasticache on an upcoming project; my argument probably just got about 1000% harder, given the anti-RL sentiment I saw on our Slack last night.

(Finally, if you'll forgive me a bit of personal advice, I think for better or worse Redis + your personal brand + RedisLabs are now all somewhat tied together -- I'm not sure how much sense it makes for you to just pay attention to the OSS side of the house...)
It is repetitive information because earlier in the sentence it already says "each costing them..."

Probably poor writing on their part.

I think that this clears up questions about redis itself, but doesn't address the concern than future development will be focused on new modules rather than the core - akin to Google Play Services vs. Android.
This is a big one for me. When someone listens to recent pop on the car radio I want to rail against how cheesy and annoying it is. Then I'll be the one driving and flipping stations and I'll land on some 70s or 80s pop tune and happily sing along.

I realize that it's no less cheesy or annoying but it's familiar enough yet I've not heard it in a couple of years. I can get down with a lot of music but hearing the same damn mediocre song every week, it goes from "eh, whatever" to "dear god why is this still around??"
I interpreted your post as saying we are at full employment.

It's a term used by both the left and the right. By politicians and the media.

You shouldn't have. Who cares if it is political. You are the author and you should express yourself the way you want.
Reminds me of Databricks, the company founded by the Apache Spark creators. More and more of what they do is fully proprietary and at least one their previously OSS module is now proprietary (Redshift integration). They also boast of how much faster their cloud offering (running on top of AWS) is than other Spark cloud versions (running on top of AWS) which makes me suspect there's performance improvements that they're not open sourcing.
I’ve had a deposit in for this since CES, so I think I’m one of the first non fleet customers. Seems like a perfect vehicle for Puerto Rico, my only concern being maintenance of the custom components. (It gets around the 40% import duty..)
Invoking an atheist like RMS doesn't help matters, even if he may have a lot of wisdom and experience in the licensing wars. Conflating an argument over a particular licensing debate in 2018 with deeply-held religious beliefs that may have existed for thousands of years and even inspired actual religious wars (where thousands of people, or even millions -- might as well loop Godwin's law into this debate -- actually died in horrific ways) would certainly appear to be insulting to those who are religious (and many who are not) and might take your irreverence more seriously than it was intended.
Too little, too late. We need a Redis fork and we need it now, because antirez is no longer reliable.

Moving Redis towards an Nginx-like model where new features are exclusively commercial is nothing less than a bait-and-switch - one that affects those small-time developers who advocated for Redis in the first place, making it into what it is today.

That Redis has been tainted by a greedy bastard's attempt at becoming a millionaire through licensing tricks. Long live a new Redis fork - by the community, for the community. Just like MySQL was replaced with MariaDB in most setups, Redis (and everything else touched by Salvatore Sanfilippo) needs to be replaced.
This is not about "trying to save a couple lines of code" at all. Sometimes you want to gives the customer the ability to customize the app however they want and sometimes this is needed in order to do that. E.g. custom profile fields, building custom forms themselves (like Google Forms), etc.
>Then I got moved to the SF office. My commute turned into a 20m bike or subway.

I did the Boston version of this. My wife and I lived downtown and moved to a suburb when our son was 7 months old. My one-way commute went from a 15 minute subway ride to a 1-1.5 hour trip depending on buses and such.

Five years later, we sold our house and moved back into the city and my commute shifted to a 20 minute walk. At one point, due an office move, I could see my office from my living room (I lived in a high rise). I literally gained 40-80 extra minutes a day and lost 15 pounds. I was also able to coach my son's sports teams since leaving at 4:30pm for a 5pm practice was much easier to do than leaving at 3:30pm and wondering if I'll make it in time the entire way.

And now, 5 years after that, I've moved out of the city again. ADHD and a need for space and room to roam have forced the change. I'm back to a 40-60 minute commute and counting the days (approx 2800) until my son is off to college/out of the house and I can move back.

> To join the Church of Emacs, you need only pronounce the Confession of the Faith: There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.
You know, if only Emacs had a decent text editor then it would be universally accepted. It's a great OS otherwise.
I don’t usually post here (more interested in the articles than the discourse over them), but this is something that really resonated with me. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, the suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of engineering. We don’t know beforehand where fundamental insights will arise from about our disciplines. The history of the study of engineering shows us clearly that accepted and conventional ideas are often insufficient for the changing future, and that fundamental insights into new possibilities can arise from the most unexpected sources.

All of us are entitled to our opinions on the healthiness of the Commons Clause, but if history has taught us anything, censoring the mere _idea_ of it for being in conflict with one’s personal ideology is the greater injustice, and will accomplish nothing in the long run. Might its adoption hurt some people? Maybe. Might it help some people? Also maybe. But shooting it down before it has the chance to do either feels wrong.

That's why sysadmins don't need a union. You'd have to pay programmers and DBAs a premium to get them to do sysadmin work. There's literally no one to replace sysadmins except sysadmins and more expensive less well trained (in sysadmin work) employees.
"Ritual" is a word with a variety of connotations. Note that a marriage ceremony is a ritual. That's an everyday use of the word that I don't think you would have objected to or called magical.

Thanks - are there examples you can point me to for commercial sites built from Ghost that advertise products (through affiliate links)?
"Redis is an example of this paradigm. Today, most cloud providers offer Redis as a managed service over their infrastructure and enjoy huge income from software that was not developed by them. Redis’ permissive BSD open source license allows them to do so legally, but this must be changed"

Crying fake news (which has been co-opted to mean "real news that I don't like or that you shouldn't pay attention to") completely undermined your statement. Yes, the original announcement wasn't just unclear, it is very clearly drawing a line that "this must be changed".
If the commercial side can change the license without your knowledge then it is not a good thing at all.
This is not about generating code instead of writing it at all. It is about making customizations possible.

I speak okayish german. Can definitely understand and work with it, but I think that writing a essay in German for me might be too much. So I've been delaying my MsC until I learn better German, but this will take forever.
Thanks for sharing your anecdotes, it seems Apple's online store is a lot trickier to deal with that I originally thought. Given the fact that there are almost none posts about having troubles with ordering US gift cards in the Chinese social media, I wonder if they are offering Chinese people some special care(like lowering credit card validation standards? We don't apply for a CC to make domestic payments). Life is strange, without ever been to the US, I have the account you've always wanted for years.
> People need to stop using the term "fake news" it is more a meme at this point than constructive English.

Just yesterday the most powerful politician from my country (a EU and NATO member) said during a live interview on prime-time TV that George Soros had sent 4 men in order to assassinate him last year (spoiler alert: they didn't succeed, even though they had been checked-in at the local Hilton hotel). His right-hand man had an interview the day before that saying that the KGB (yes, the Russian KGB) had tried to recruit him (spoiler alert: apparently the Russians didn't succeed). All I want to say is that "fake news" is indeed a live and active concept, just trying to hide it under the rug won't bring back the former, saner times.

Running Effective Meetings: An Engineer’s Guide
Fascinating to see Vorticism spring up here of all places, even among most of the artists I interact with it's a minor footnote if even known at all. But Vorticism holds a special place in my heart with it's call to action simply for changes sake, emphasis on harsh polarisation and focus on the tensions of the past coming to fruition. Hell, the first 10 pages or so of BLAST is the group cursing the wrongs of various things with a focus on the humdrum British lifestyle and loving that snazzy new dazzle camoflauge.

I'm just going to transcribe the first of the seven part portion of the manifesto here.

"[1] Beyond Action and Reaction we would establish ourselves.

[2] We start from opposite statements of a chosen world. Set up violent structure of adolescent clearness between two extremes.

[3] We discharge ourselves on both sides.

[4] We fight first on one side, then on the other, but always for the SAME cause, which is neither side or both sides and ours.

[5] Mercenaries were always the best troops.

[6] We are Primitive Mercenaries in the Modern World

[7] Our Cause is NO-MANS.

[8] We set Humour at Humour's throat. Stir up Civil War among peaceful apes.

[9] We only want Humour if it has fought like Tragedy.

[10] We only want Tragedy if it can clench its side-muscles like hands on it's belly, and bring to the surface a laugh like a bomb."

Even as the war dragged on Lewis' work as a war painter would inform his works. Take a look at earlier Vorticist works and compared it to "A Battery Shelled", they're less abstract once the concrete reality of the trenches had affected the artists. It's an interesting shift that others involved or near the movement would mirror, a brief expenditure of energy followed by a burning out and attempt to return to normalcy. It's a shame Vorticism was such a small and short lived movement, but what can you do when a good number of your artists were jumping to join the fight and promptly got themselves killed like Brezeska? At least we can still get high on Pounds work and whatever was scrounged together to be documented (and not left in the back of a taxicab).

If you're looking for a good read please give BLAST and BLAST: War Number a read, they are truly amazing and underappreciated works and you may find something to take away from it. I'm extremely grateful to have picked up this particular dusty book from the middle of the stacks in Canada.

What's wrong with using a JSONField with a different Cerberus validator for each client, and then using a Django form (and possibly some custom admin template code) to make it possible for the client to perform CRUD operations in the admin?

I personally would still just build a React front end and do the CRUD operations via REST endpoints, but if you really want to use the Django Admin then that's a much better way to do it than monkey patching the migrations system.
Love the headline of the article. Hard to imagine a pickup truck taking New York City by storm tho.
I wish there were more publications on how open source is really funded. Earlier Linux and BSD kernels were made by a combination of researchers, people with spare time, volunteers as well as big companies who paid people full time. We see much more of the latter. Intel has an entire OSS division in Portland, OR that writes most of the drives, works on Linux kernel patches, etc. Nintendo and Sony both use big parts of the BSD TCP stack in their operating systems and have an interest in contributing and keeping it up to date.

But open source didn't depend on these funding models in the 90s/2000s did it? I did a whole post on the philosophy of open source a while back:

https://penguindreams.org/blog/the-philosophy-of-open-source...

..but one of the things I didn't find enough sources on where a lot of funding came from (And percentage of volunteer contributors).

This recent Redis things reminds me of the Caddy controversy, and maybe even more recently, how Win/Mac Docker binaries are behind a login wall.

What changed? Do developers no longer have the time to volunteer to work on this stuff? The desire? Is the demand for tech in The Valley/West Cost changing the dynamics of how much time people have to contribute. Were the earlier efforts way less commercial and new efforts moving much faster and requirement more maintenance/resources?
The advice I've heard for driving cars through water includes "Rev the engine fast, do not change gear, do not stop the engine, if you stall do not restart the engine" and explains that advice as stopping water getting into the engine from the exhaust pipe.

It looks like they were using AGPL before, but now they are switching to Commons Clause. See the history of the RedisSearch license, for example.

And in removing the reference, he removed any association to "sides" in US politics.. don't really need that especially when dealing with a PR issue such as this.
Ok, good reason to avoid this term. Indeed here it's happening as well... instead of understanding that the point is always to verify the information and their sources, "fake news" is becoming a quick way to dismiss what other people are saying, without actually bringing any more source.
You are right, I had only quickly skimmed the article on my phone earlier. Its kind of similar, but moving it from the SQL layer to the Django layer in my opinion, but it does actually create database tables. The models are dynamic and in memory, (rather than in a file) which is at least as bad an idea as EAV in my opinion. But cool as a blog post.
Pure passion for software.

I remember going to Barnes & Noble when I was 10 years old. I saw a "Teach Yourself PHP 4 in 24 hours" book. I didn't know what PHP was, but the book cover said I could make dynamic websites, and that was enough for me! I begged my mom to buy it for me and she did.

I didn't have a computer to write the code on, and wouldn't for years afterward. I imagined what the code was doing in my head, based on what the book said the output would be.

Back then the Internet was still young; Internet consultants didn't exist. I never thought I could make money from it. It just turned out that it was a valuable skill as the economy moved online - lucky me.

I still have the crazy passion for software I did back then. Perhaps more jaded, but it's there :-)
Pop music isn't nearly as important now. As music is cheaper to make and produce, and more and more artists and fans live in niches and subcultures, the only people who listen to pop are the people who don't care enough to discern their more specific tastes. Why would it be any surprise then that pop trends towards a boring inoffensive middle?
Yep, now finally this is updated to specify exactly what changes license. Incidentally: nothing I ever worked to directly. It would be way cooler if also things like RediSearch or RediGraph could still be totally open source, but it's apparently very hard, Common Clause at least will allow it to be free-as-beer and with the source code available.

Maybe I overestimate how much I use the keyboard but I still see hours on straight where I would not want to move my hands away from the keyboard. You don't need to reach for the keyboard due to supports, you are resting on the home row.

Yes, movement is important and one should take breaks but that is something one should do regardless of posture. I see how lifting hands can improve that but it has to be balanced against the negatives.

If moving a hand to use the mouse is seen as a big pain point I have a hard time to see how one would rest unused hands on the legs? Underneath the table?
Obviously I can’t prove a negative, but:

> This made a substantial difference in my comfort level; it's amazing how tense you are under normal conditions and how much you can relax if you know how.

That’s exactly the biggest benefit I got from fixing my posture. Being able to relax. Also fixing my deviated septum, but posture alone can compromise your breathing to that degree as well.

> As soon as I would get up out of my chair and do other activities, the symptoms would go away again.

Bingo.
Nice. Reminds me of Buddhabrot images http://erleuchtet.org/2010/07/ridiculously-large-buddhabrot....
It was pretty clear to me on reading the RedisLabs page that Redis itself would be BSD licensed.

And, FWIW, I totally sympathize with the motivations behind their decision. I suspect we'll see variations of this in a variety of projects (if not module licensing, then enterprise-only features, reduced work in the open-source version, etc.)
I don't know. I briefly used IPsec when I stopped using OpenVPN and I was looking for alternatives. The setup for IPsec on the server was slightly annoying. I used a Github project that sets up everything for me but the script didn't do everything.

And I have observed(from just using IPsec and wireguard on my phone) that wireguard is quite good(maybe even better) than IPsec at not annihilating internet bandwidth.
I understand your meaning. The problem is that the phrase "fake news" in the United States at least is associated with a specific political party. Your message will be less well-received by part of your audience as a result. Perhaps you are fine with that, though.

EDIT: antirez updated the post, so this is no longer relevant.

This is paternalism, and philosophically I think it’s best to let the individual decide what’s best for them rather than society telling people what to buy. You are essentially saying that the poor cannot be trusted to know what they need, whereas I think the poor are intelligent, rational people who will allocate their resources best.

I don't thinks its value is in it's picture-taking capabilities which are quite crude by modern standards. Any value it may have is based upon it collectability and rareness. Based on that valuation, it doesn't seem to be either collectable nor rare. In that case, its probably more of a nostalgia item.
