I’m surprised it’s only two orders of magnitude. Compared to today, it was insanely expensive to record music professionally more than 20 years ago, especially when the recoding is more than a single microphone (or stereo pair) capturing a complete live performance in a single take.

There would be orders of magnitude more music published today because the tools are so cheap and available.

What you can do today with $2,000 of equipment is better in every single metric than what you could do in 1990 with $20,000 of equipment. (I’m excluding the costs of studio space here for simplicity, as that can be highly genre dependent: on one hand the cost of concert halls for a symphony orchestra probably hasn’t changed much; on the other hand new electronic music doesn’t need a physical studio at all.)

I don’t know about the economics of recording back in 1960 but I can say with confidence that even the absolute best equipment found in the top studios would be technically inferior to today’s $2,000 electronics. (Though they did use their genius to innovate sounds which we still love to emulate today, so those old studios may well be creatively superior. But we have all that creativity in the form of plugins and effects today.)
I actually don't care about anyone else's opinion of what I may do to manage my chronic, lifelong, slog of a disease. This is merely my chosen alternative to doing math and jabbing myself with a needle manually, which any reasonable person can conclude is perfectly capable of killing me within minutes. This is already delegated to all T1Ds in the normal state.

Your scary hypothetical is not possible. As if to agree, my pump just beeped at 10PM, announcing that the temporary basal (which can't kill me at maximum setting) expired and a new one was chosen. It's best choice is actually to suspend basal entirely when it knows I've dosed too much, which makes it a very legit safety improvement.

Oh, and a company created the example, which waters down your point - what convinced you that the very capable hands of people affected by the disease directly with a strong desire for data to back every thing up is anything like an accident waiting to happen? There's no profit motive here! (PS: it runs a direct test suite on install, and has cloud CI)

> I disagree with the interpretation of your source.

Not my fault the pope can't be more clear. It's ridiculous that their official beliefs are open for interpretation at all.

> A quote straight out of your source. Pretty clear that Natural Selection could be a mechanism designed by God.

A mechanism designed by god would still be intelligent design, as an all knowing god it was still done with the knowledge that humans would arise and he would give them a soul. And given other beliefs that have god interacting with the universe directly and recently why would such an elaborate process be needed for humans to arise? It's like they're using a very different definition of god than the usual one.
This limits not just huge cloud providers bit also little startups. In fact, Redis Labs would've probably never been founded if Redis had come with this clause from the beginning.
It looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle. That's a violation of the site guidelines and we ban accounts that do it. We have to, because it destroys what this site exists for.

Use Wireguard. It is wonderful and the community is friendly. `wg-quick` is easy to use but if you need it, I believe Streisand supports automatically provisioning a wireguard setup.

Rust specifies that both signed and unsigned integer overflow will wrap as two’s complement. The Rust developers want to discourage overflow because it is a common source of logic bugs, but the behavior is not unsafe.

Sorry for spamming this all over the post, but I think it's important enough for everyone to see this:

Redis itself IS NOT changing licenses, and if you only use the core Redis product you are unaffected. This license change only applies (or _will_ apply, I guess) to some source-available addon Redis modules. (I'm not sure if any existing open-source modules developed by Redis Labs will have their license changed, or if this will only apply to modules published after the announcement.)

The bulk because of soap is sort of irrelevant unless you are in a really slow connection where the size of every packet counts.

I have more serious griefs against powershell remoting.

For instance it is set up as a delayed start service which means you often have to wait more than a minute after a VM rebooted before you can log into it.

Windows Update is accessible by remoting through a COM API that doesn’t allow remote connections, so you can’t do the equivalent of a simple apt-get update remotely. There are horrible hacks around it, like setting up a scheduled task to trigger or collect the update and run that task from remoting and collecting the result some random way like reading a text file.

It really feels half baked, barely usable, and an ugly reminder that CLI has been added to windows as an after thought.

[edit] also I believe it is unencrypted by default. You have to enable https, which isn't straightforward. And you can't change the default ports.
Why would valve want to replace an OS where MS controls the app store with one where google controls it?

That’s not how quality assessment works. You don’t assess something as having a high observed defect rate and then conclude that the likely situation is that non-observed defects are rare or dismiss the implication as “well maybe not.”

Is clearly intended to address the problem of how to build a viable business around open source software. Something open source doesn't address. Having a profitable company driving the development of an open source project is not a hard requirement, but it almost is. The difference is night and day in results. Any puritan approach that considers only the open source ideals, is quite frankly out of touch with reality. So I wish good luck to these guys.
For what it's worth, this seems reminiscent of other wine distributions like crossover office (for office) or cedega (for games)

This is far from true in the case of Redis. Salvatore worked for VMware from 2010-2013 and Pivotal from 2013-2015. It was funded by these "large companies" that you speak of.
Talking about Taiwan, they're trying really hard to attract foreign talents. If you're interested, check their Golden Card Permit. It's a visa+redisent card allowing you to stay and work for anyone there up to 3years. The only requirement is to justify of a salary of 160k NTD/month(~USD 5210/month), anywhere in the world, if you don't earn that, try the skills application[1].

And about the article, they are now requesting feedbacks from the public for the next immigration bill [2], that will make even easier to apply fo the visa.

I don't tend to hold onto email as I don't really care for or value them; especially not emails saying my account has been terminated. Those are more of a delete and move on with my life kind of notice. I ended up getting an email from a rep. asking how my experience was and either two or three (I think it was two) calls to speak with me. A funny left-hand not speaking to the right-hand scenario where customer reps tried to salvage a client even though the client had been terminated by the service.

Thanks for extending a hand. I'll look for the email tomorrow - and if found - I'll open an issue. Though if you don't hear from me, it's because the email in all likelihood was deleted shortly after getting it. My use wasn't critical need, so I didn't particularly care to deal with the headache of getting things sorted.

For me too. I had some experience of FP and was also a PHP programmer. It's one of the funniest programming books I've ever read, references to Avril Lavigne amongst category theory appeals to my sort, but clearly it's not a book for everyone.

So I found it fun to learn and the concept of Applicative Functors in between Monoids and Monads has stuck. As well as the examples of monads, such as walking on a tight rope with birds landing either side.

I'm still not doing pure FP and so I forget much of the content, but its a pleasure to pick up and re-read.
Pushing to a Git remote
The point is rather that Rust has a bunch of methods on integer for dealing with overflows in a variety of ways, like saturating, wrapping or returning an Option with a None value on overflow (there's also one that returns a tuple with the carry).
These are all work-arounds: the permanent fix is to expose the processor’s carry and zero flags in C.
My take on this is that it has nothing to do with the housing market collapse of 2008. It smells of money laundering.
I concur. LYAH may be seen as an intuitive and easy read for getting started but I felt I was incapable of understanding real Haskell code with just that background. I finally got my hands dirty by hacking around on existing Haskell code which is when things started making sense.

Negotiations and communication can help resolve these kinds of problems. (in my experience)

The core motivator to start the discussion can be simply profit margin. I've hit points where it's not profitable, and therefore gets cut from our offerings. But if someone wants to pay extra, we can accommodate.

Is it possible that by changing the requirements/costs of the product you would lose the account/business?

The way I started this discussion is with the phrase "web standards", and these are cheaper to build towards. So "non-standard" systems cost extra to support now. But this also meant I could lower my costs on some other work, so it wasn't smoke and mirrors, it was legitimately easier and less time consuming. (also, makes everyone happier to work on standards instead of spending most of our time with hacks and debugging because reasons)

If you don't want others to exploit your code without contributing back, don't use BSD/MIT/Apache; use (A)GPL.

Any idea why there’s a fairly specific special category for neutron physics?
Different spectrums, indeed.

I only meant to clarify that aircraft redundant systems exist because failure mode consequences would be catastrophic with unacceptably high probability otherwise; not simply because things in general fail all the time, as was asserted.

It's a subtle yet significant difference that other readers in passing may not recognize.
I found a much more interesting measure is simply to take the Billboard Top 40, wind it to an arbitrary date and see how many songs you know.

By that measure, older music was much better. Sure, the chart has flashes in the pan and bubblegum garbage in every age, but the difference in memorability between the Top 40 now and the Top 40 even 15 years ago is quite staggering.
I agree. There's the reflex (here and elsewhere) to dismiss reciprocal licenses such as GPL, AGPL as "uncool", pretentious, and show-stopping. Maybe it's time to reconsider in times of cloud oligopoles. Because why would you want your software become part of the lock-in strategy of a cloud provider.

Looks like they are a thing...maybe just outside of tech. Or:

> Something like 37-40% of workers according to surveys say their jobs make no difference.

The whole idea of bullshit jobs is based on people's own assessment of their work? You should really ask the people paying their salary whether the job is useful or not since they are the ones paying for it.

Labor productivity is constantly increasing, if you measure it in a systematic, rather than anecdotal way. Here is an article about some trends in US labor productivity, notice that even though growth has slowed it is still steadily increasing:

I want Windows dead because it's a proprietary surveillance machine that has stayed alive thanks to really strong lock-in and network effects. I don't trust Google and Valve either, but even if they go full evil empire after after killing Windows, a monopoly built on Linux and Vulkan is a much better place than where we are now.

Google already has a near-monopoly in the smartphone space and it's much better than the Windows monopoly on the desktop. Android being built on tons of GPL software means they have to contribute changes back to the benefit of the FOSS ecosystem. It also means you can easily make/use a custom Android ROM without any proprietary components.
It should be noted that if you've setup Algo already that it now supports WireGuard. The WireGuard Android app (which would be great to verify that it is indeed published by www.wireguard.com) is stupid easy to setup and enable on your device.
You can also just disconnect solar panels if large swaths of generation is not required.

As real world application of open source licenses is rather complex (I would say: A nightmare) you definitely should consult a lawyer if you want to put sth. Open Source. Btw. it gets even more complex if you think about application under local laws of multiple countries.

In practical terms, AGPL would do it because far fewer people are willing to touch AGPL'd code.

I'm by no means an expert, but Taiwan has a very interesting political scene due to the relationship with China. The dominant party is Taiwanese nationalistic and for Taiwanese independence, whereas the biggest opposition is Chinese nationalistic.

The Sunflower Student Movement, mentioned a throughout this article, lead to the formation of the progressive nationalistic New Power Party in 2015. This party was co-founded by lead singer of the political metal band Chthonic, Freddy Lim, who is now one of 5 members of the party in the Taiwanese legislature (out of a total of 113 seats).
The dynamics, which are not just the rigid body dynamics plus the aerodynamics of the vehicle but also include many structural modes of the rotorhead and blades, are not scale invariant. An RC helicopter is proportionally stiffer in certain degrees of freedom by an order of magnitude (in rotor angular velocity and thrust:weight ratio e.g.), and so can ignore dynamical factors that dominate the control and structural sizing for manned helicopters.
Not by a lot, the divide by constant can be optimized to a multiplication, if you're doing it in a loop (why would you care if you do it only once), you can reach a throughput of one multiplication per cycle, so (x*3)/3 would take 2 cycles on average.
They are stingy with equity because it's easy to make a bad hire and then be unable to fix the cap table. I do think there should be a better balance, though, and agree that they can be quite stingy even with those who turn out to be good hires.

I feel being first engineer at a startup gave me the skills to found my own company and make a living on my own terms, which is ultimately what I want from life. Being super rich isn't too important to me as long as I feel I have broken out of the mold and am on a path to greater personal and creative freedom. I honestly wanted to kill myself after a few years at a well-liked, growing 1000 person company. It was too confining and I was too distant from the real world. I can't imagine ever being happy at a FAANG Corp, even if the work is initially interesting. The weight of layers of managers above always becomes unbearably heavy for me, especially since I naturally struggle against authority.

That’s okay, but I think there’s two parts you might be missing. 1/ the Commons Clause doesnt apply to retroactive versions and in this case is not applied to Redis core. 2/ The Commons Clause isn’t meant for everyone. In the world of open source, sometimes projects can stay open, and sometimes they can’t. For projects that can’t, sometimes it’s because people do bad things that are disguised as Services but in reality add little value other than resell.
IANAL, but my understanding is that as long as you only provide the knowledge but not the actual software you're fine. e.g.: conducting paid training sessions, even ones where the attendants are required to download the software from the official site and install it on their machines for practical exercises, should be okay. If someone wants to pay you to install licensed software on their production machines and configure it... Eh, probably not.

Also to reiterate that Redis itself is still BSD, so if you're not using add-on modules licensed with this clause you're unaffected.

Full disclosure: Am a Redis Labs employee, although not here in any official capacity.
Please take a look at https://github.com/taigaio, in our team we have been using it for 3 years. It works great and serve as a very good example of a beautiful written, well tested AngularJS single page app with Python Django powering the backend API. Also look at event notification part and good quality responsive app, works great even on mobile phones. You can find a respiratory of designs where you can even see the svg source of design files for UI. Only small subset of open source Project have such level of work available publicly.
Open source has no place addressing the question of business model, as open source is about what people can do with the SOFTWARE. It removes the barriers to creating a business around that software, and that's where its concerns with business stop (and always have). It's up to the owners of that business to learn how to RUN a business.

In summary: "Open source" is not a business model and is not concerned with them. For information and guidance on business models, check with Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan, and other reputable business publications.

> Downvotes are effectively censorship,

I don't mind downvotes much, as they help me figure out what people care about. HN downvotes would be much more meaningful if I knew how many total votes a comment received. For example, my original comment is currently at "2 points", but it was at -1 earlier today, which indicates at least 5 people thought it worth voting on (2 down, 3 up). If I knew that 99 people actually voted on that comment, I'd probably develop the line of thinking some more.

Thanks for your feedback.
