There still isn't a simple, sustainable and uncomplicated model for developers to earn a full-time living selling their open source product.

The Patreon approach is not sustainable in the long-term, neither is the company sponsorship route.

Charging for support as the principal source of your income is probably one of the least appealing options for most developers.

Open-core is one option - GitLab wouldn't be a financial success without it. Dual-license is another option.

What does the FSF (Free Software Foundation) have to say on the matter? Charge for distribution [1]. Yet, no-one can realistically charge for distribution today - not least when so many projects are hosted for free on GitHub.

If you want to make source code available and still be paid for your product - consider something like the Fair Source License. It's neither closed source or open source. It will appear blasphemous to some open source advocates, but it feels like a reasonable compromise between closed source and permissive open source licences: https://fair.io/

Agreed. Junk food should be avoided and making people aware of this should be a priority, as the health costs are just too high. Junk food should have labels on them - just like cigarette packets have in Europe. But of course that's not going to happen.

If the impossible burger and the likes is not for you, why not try other meat free recipes that are equally tasty, if it means not oppressing and inflicting pain and suffering on to other sentient beings?
SD card wear-levelling is usually supposed to be handled on the controller inside the SD card. SD cards aren't like having raw access to flash, you basically write over SPI and the controller in the SD card decides where to actually put it.

This talk about SD cards is really great and explains some of this:

Contrary to other comments, there are responses from Muslim countries. For instance, the situation has not gone unnoticed in Turkey because the Uighurs are Muslims who speak a Turkic language. In the past Turkish nationalist groups have supported Uighar separatist movements. However, official responses are muted since China is a major investor.

Linux is general is not a real-time system, in that you cannot get deterministic response time from it.

For example I'm guessing it doesn't matter if one of your timers are a second late due to Linux deciding to swap a process out or prioritise some upgrade check but imagine if your time constraints were a lot tighter.

Similarly if you're attempting to track food on a conveyor belt and Linux decides to prioritise the file indexer on your filesystem... oops, a lettuce has been thrown on the floor.

Real-time operating systems exist for a reason.

We all understand now that Google will do everything the Chinese dictatorship tells them to, in order to deploy their ad-driven products in China. There is no elevated morality involved. Maybe a few current Google employees will leave.

Who in China will remember Tiananmen'89 a decade or two from now? Almost nobody, if Google can help -- by building a search engine that erases history and bad-think.

I've worked in a fast food restaurant and one of the key pieces of information we used was something called a "drop chart".

This was basically a printed out excel sheet with predicted amounts of food to keep ready to serve.

i.e. between 5pm-6pm have 12 chicken breasts already cooked. People follow these charts to know how much stock to pre-cook before the hour basically.

These predictions are usually based on previous years sales for that same day/time + growth + whatever other inputs to the sheet.

It sounds like what they're trying to do is run ML models and make really fast predictions in real time to react to surges of customers. To me this sounds a lot smarter than the approach I worked with.

From my experience when the numbers were off you either generate a lot of waste product or you make customers wait really long.

I imagine the inputs to the ML model are probably something like real time sales data + whatever else.

I think you'd want edge compute here not just for latency but for availability.

You'd want to both run these models fast and make sure even if the crappy internet connection of the restaurant dies you can keep providing these numbers.

Is very easy to say that, if you already "rich".

That is not universal across all the developer community. Here, in Colombia, open source is something you do on the sidelines.

Pretend you can live of it? That is non-sense.
I think you took it literally (which is surprising for a place like HN). Still, I meant major browsers, all was a typo.

The major browsers in marketshare.. being Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft are all on board with wasm.

Is there another thing you can find they agreed on to this degree relative to market share?

The wording of your comment makes me wonder if you know a bit more about wasm, particularly with smaller browsers (I am a fan of Opera too), so please feel free to share the smaller browser perspective.
No, there is some hand-waving about "kitchen equipment" and "low latency".

No business case for avoiding more traditional architecture.
I'm genuinely confused why there is so much backlash against the Commons Clause. Ignoring for a second the confusion around RedisLabs and its relationship with Redis core, the Commons Clause is setting out to solve the following problem with open source:

- A person or company creates an open-source library, at great cost of time and effort.
- A big company adds that library to their cloud offerings, at arguably far lesser cost, and monetizes it.
- The library author receives no compensation.

This article seems to argue against the Commons Clause because it's not 'true open source,' but this seems like a purely ideological argument that sidesteps the true problem that CC is trying to solve: open source creators not getting a cut of the profit they are generating for big companies. Am I missing something here?
The Anatomy of Peace

Crucial Conversations
It would be weird for happiness to increase with prosperity. Think how much more stuff we have than people in the stone age. We should all be delirious with joy, all the time, if we expected happiness to increase with material wealth.

Any description of happiness that makes sense would have to say that it's some sort of local comparison, across various axes: how am I doing compared to previously/expectations/other people?

This is why when you acquire some new gadget, you say you're happy. You can now mow your lawn, which you couldn't before. Going forward, you expect to be able to mow your lawn. If your lawnmower breaks, you're sad. If it doesn't, a working lawnmower was already priced in.

This is why billionaires like Elon can be unhappy, too. Otherwise they would be bouncing off the walls giddy with joy all the time.

1) They're the LPs, they're not leading the initiative.

2) They're explicitly working with cultural leaders. Maybe you could count someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson, but the list is pretty short. We haven't really had scientists as legitimate cultural leaders since the days of Timothy Leary.
Valve has competitors in the PC games storefront market. On iOS, there is (for all practical reasons) no other storefront. People would be stuck on the App Store even if they were to charge something ridiculous like 50%, because there's no where else to go.
This has gotten piles better in the last 3 months at Schipol at least. US passports now go through the automated EU lanes and at the end you are diverted over to a little booth to get a stamp. It's wildly faster than it used to be (and I always felt that Schipol was pretty on their game already).

I'm not so sure there's a raw end of the deal here so much as that there's a whole ecosystem of things related to trade shows that no one wants to end even though it's arguably not an especially efficient use of dollars at the end of the day. But it's been a thing for decades in many industries and no one really wants to end it, whether vendors, attendees, or the vast number of companies, venues, and unions that support it.

Without going into too much detail, the initial product was for the B2B market with buyers and sellers where the buyers could also be sellers. They had near total penetration on the seller’s side but they wanted to make a similar product that was buyer focused.

The lesson, for new markers that aren’t heavily regulated and the cost of bugs isn’t high (like healthcare and banking) is speed at all cost, and then once you have penetration, then start worrying about technical debt.

> I don't have a problem with people criticizing Commons Clause

Okay, but...

> You wanna have a discussion on Commons Clause, there's a perfectly respectable thread two posts over

... you do, evidently, have a problem with discussing the Commons Cause: you want to sequester this discussion into its own thread despite the Commons Clause very much on-topic here. You are attempting to smear critics of Redis's use of the Commons Clause by claiming that criticism amounts to treating CC's proponents like "the worst people on earth". This tactic does not lead to the kind of discussion that enlightens or convinces. It lacks tact and has no place here.
> Can they even know that it happened?

This is exactly the most chilling aspect of such regimes: They can carry out any atrocities they want, then erase all records of it from their history within a single generation.

In China apparently you can't even search for certain numbers, like 1989 or even "workarounds" like 535! (May 35th = June 4th)

> Apache Common Clause license

As other's have pointed out, but it bears repeating, this is not a thing.

There is actually nothing particularly shocking about what Redis is doing here; it's been done by many open source companies in the past and present and nobody cares. Yes, it can be considered a somewhat less tasteful way to make money from an open source platform but not enough to get a big thread on HN.

What they did to stir this debate is confusingly and unnecessarily tie this move to open source licensing and "commons" naming. This is what brought all this attention to something that is otherwise not very controversial.
re: "Developers free time is where it often starts..."

Words matter. We need to stop calling it free time. It's not free. Nothing is free, and certainly not a limited resource such a time.

Personally I'd like to see one of the major OSS code hosts (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, etc.) incorporate payments (read: donations) into their system. If I could load say $25.00 in credits to my account I could make a donation with a click. The receiver - or anyone for that matter - could keep the "cash" or put a bounty on a bug or new feature.

This is good news.

You wouldn't know it from reading this article. The orthodoxy on environmental research and reporting is that everything must be bad news. Humans are destroying the planet and we're all doomed. The rotten thing is about this orthodox attitude is that it has created tremendous apathy. If nothing we humans do can possibly be good and doom is inevitable, why even try?

Here we have a great example of nature's self-rectifying mechanisms in action. Raise global temperatures and CO2 levels and trees grow bigger in more places than before, lowering CO2 levels. It is a fundamentally good thing to see this in action and we really ought to recognize it as such. It means there's hope. If we change a little nature may pitch in too. i.e. If we can cut down on deforestation in the places where it's the worst we'll be in a situation where a significant number of new trees are growing and soaking up CO2 for several decades.

Good environmental news is possible, and it doesn't have to be interpreted as meaning everything is okay and we need not do anything, as many clearly fear. The "everything is bad" orthodoxy has proven far more crippling.
Maybe it's also time to realise for OSS developers that they cannot win with the cloud in the long term, so maybe it would be better to work with it.

The reality in a few years time will be a multi-cloud environment where it's the cloud itself that will be commoditized. So let's make great open source projects work well with that:

1. Provide X options for deployment on many clouds/orchestrators - k8s, terraform, serverless, etc.

2. Work on top of clouds and easily integrate with them, e.g. use existing permission systems of AWS, GCloud, Azure, service discovery systems, secret management systems, parameter systems, log aggregators and many others. So in this approach, pricing would still be controlled by the OSS company, by paying for machine time or per-request.
I wonder how many of the people who complain about the Redis license situation are making their living writing proprietary software.

Could go one step further (out of the Oracle playbook) and include a copyrighted poem in the wire protocol itself so that any clean room build automatically violates that copyright too.
ML implies lots of training data. That gets done centrally as it would need to be done in aggregate.

You don't have low-latency training of a model and use that same model in real-time.

And in your example (admittedly small scale) 12 items of data an hour is not exactly high-data-rate, not enough to justify racks of machines.
IIRC you're just not allowed to programmatically open a web browser; you have to tell the user to do it themselves.
> which will prohibit them from being used freely by hosting and cloud providers and other software makers that profit directly from them

All the pro-"Common Clause" reporting I've seen has focused exclusively on cloud providers, omitting the prohibition on even "consulting/ support services related to the Software". This reaches further than most license agreements for fully-proprietary software, to the point where I'm stunned that it's even legal.

Thought experiment: is a paid employee of a company working with one of these Redis modules considered to be providing support "for a fee or other consideration"---and thus in violation of its license? Is it illegal now to teach a class on how to use RediSearch?
How to run smooth user testing sessions
> I disagree. If you really look at the problem space, it turns out that "classic cron" is just a "batch scheduling system" that is poorly implemented.

I'm a bit confused. It still sounds like you're describing a batch scheduling system and that cron isn't one (because it only implements a narrow function of such a system).

What features does PBS (not cron) lack that any of the re-inventions do have?

> Unfortunately, cron leaves all the actual hard challenges unsolved

> the Unix philosophy wisely encourages us to separate out concerns into complementary tools that fit together.

I'm also having trouble reconciling these two positions. Cron does one thing, which is forking on a schedule. To leave something like "dogpiling" for another utility (e.g. dotlockfile) to solve seems consistent with the Unix philosophy.

> Not "everyone just uses Yarn" at all. For the projects I work on, we use distributed cronjobs on Kubernetes

That doesn't quite refute my point, as you can feel free to consider "Yarn" as merely a metaphor for the currently most-popular inbuilt scheduler of a currently popular distributed computing platform.
We've been told to keep passports handy when going from Copenhagen (Denmark) to Malmö (Sweden) by train since there are checks, but police got bored halfway and left the train. Maybe it's because of time pressure, but they don't necessarily control every person moving between Schengen countries.
There is roughly a 0% chance that any of the pro-flat Earth or unsure answers in that YouGov survey weren't people just messing around. Pretending to believe the Earth is flat has been a common troll tactic online for years now.
Certainly, the networking and prestige of being involved in that deal has value. But personally I'd still be disappointed having to stay up preparing a deck until 4am that ultimately led nowhere.

But, again, I'm still a little confused why we're bending over backwards to try to relate this back to crypto somehow? Are there not enough crypto discussions on HN already?
Why is it that surprising that blacks who have succeeded would head up diversity measures to help other blacks succeed?

My guess is definitely Why, then, are younger people more likely to be uncertain or ambivalent? Perhaps they are more likely to offer frivolous or ironic responses, as Earther’s Brian Kahn suggests...

I think the concept of honestly answering pollsters was in decline before the Millenials came around. The idea that a statistically singifcant fraction reacted along the lines of, “why are you asking me such a stupid question, yeah sure, I have doubts, hehehehe...” seems plausible.

I never said Disney's partner was Wang. I said that Wang said he was going to chase Disney from China with his own parks.

Yum and MCD were forced into partnering locally and giving up total ownership of those businesses.

If you're a German company you can freely set up a US version of your business and own it outright. Nintendo doesn't have to give up eg 70% of its stake in Nintendo of America. That's not the case if you're MCD trying to operate in China.

You are (typically) being checked by an airline staffer for the simple reason that if they fly you somewhere where you are denied entry, they may be obligated to fly you back on their next flight. It's a fair bit of behind-covering for the carrier, but doesn't have the authority of the inbound country's border controls.

(I also have my passport on file with Delta. It's rare that my passport is checked carefully before boarding an outbound flight to Europe.)
The survey question asked was not whether people currently believe the earth is flat. They asked, "Have you always believed it is round?" Those are not the same question, and people could be answering based on childhood/pre-school beliefs. Unless they dig deeper, it is hard to say why people gave a negative answer.
But again, latency of what?

Requirement for low-latency implies a use of data that is time-sensitive.

As mentioned by others, it's because of compliance headaches with payroll in foreign countries. Next time this happens, I would recommend suggesting to them that you work as a contractor on 1099. In that case, it's a way more straightforward process for the employer because they just need to send you money, and you handle all the compliance paperwork on your side. In fact it's even easier for them than hiring a US employee.
