Many distros (I’d guess almost all of them) bundle proprietary software. The Nvidia graphics drivers are the first example I can think of. (This could be out of date since I haven’t dealt with it in several years)
Agree. There's a place for a commercial open-source license that can hold up in court, and OSI should consider it. Ignoring the economic realities (cloud providers making all the money, and projects starving off, or getting pittances) is hardly a solution.
> Not my fault the pope can't be more clear. It's ridiculous that their official beliefs are open for interpretation at all.

If you want a more official source, then quote more official material.

You weren't quoting the pope, or really any pope, on the matter. You were quoting some random webpage. As I explained earlier: a more official source you could have quoted was the Catechism.

The Catechism was ordered by Pope John Paul II and made official by the congregation of Bishops and Cardinals. Its about as official as you can get. Its the thing you're supposed to quote when you're nitpicking at Catholic's faith.

> 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.

But it wouldn't be incompatible with your belief in Evolution (I'm presuming??). So I'm not entirely sure why you'd be worried about this.

Do you have a reason why you find the answer to be insufficient? As I said earlier, different people believe in different ideas of what God is. That Catholics have a different interpretation compared to other denominations shouldn't be a surprise.

Look, Catholics have a compatible viewpoint on Evolution. They're more or less your allies with regards to Young Earth Creationism, reason, science, etc. etc.

WTFPL is acceptable to IBM, though.

I bet that this new license isn't. It's radioactive.
A well set equaliser (for your specific speakers/headphones) goes a long way towards reversing this problem. Or at least it feels like it to me.

I've started using eqMac2 [1] on my Macbook for equalising my headphones. The difference between non-eq sound and my profile is night and day. Without the equaliser it sounds like I'm listening to music through a swimming pool.

I have to say though, nothing beats music with proper dynamic range being pumped through a >$10,000 speaker system in a room that's been properly fitted for the acoustics. There's a new nightclub that's opened in my city, where the owner has spent a lot of time and money getting the sound system set up properly. He has an absolute banging Funktion One system [2], with properly designed room with all the correct dampening and stuff. The difference between that and a generic setup with no design is absolutely night and day. You can stand in the middle of the dance floor with the music absolutely cranking and still hold a conversation. As much as I do love techno, I really want to see them put some Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd through the system.

With proper sound systems like a Funktion One and high quality music, you don't just hear the music, you can feel the music. It's absolutely phenomenal.

Probably you don't have to. If one writes code and the other takes the money, there won't be no Redis software to use in the future.

When Salvatore was sponsored by Redis Labs back in 2015 I contacted them to ask them about their RLEC (Enterprise Cluster) software for my employer, a public multinational.

Had I wanted to use Redis in AWS I would have simply paid for EC2 AWS and paid for Redis Enterprise licenses. This way BOTH companies would make money, survive, and allow me to utilize what I need for my company to make profit.

Paying AWS for Redis service, knowing NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING goes into Salvatore's pocket is, for me, plain stupid.

I want Salvatore, and the rest core contributors whichever they are, to be healthy, happy, motivated, has his financial problems solved and be focused on his amazing software.

I love Redis and I want it to be there forever.

Paying AWS (for Redis service) instead of Salvatore is as smart as being a parent and voting for Herod "for the prosperity of your newly born children".

A few reasons:

* License cost
* HDD / SSD storage space
* OS performance
* They might not agree with the EULA
* Or simply because they just don't don't like Windows.

The real question is now that the web has gotten everyone used to the idea of applications being platform agnostic, why would anyone want to go back to a Windows lock in?

Is there a vim with support for large files, i.e. only reading a chunk/window of data at a time as I browse?

My use case is that I sometimes need to inspect large CSV files and vim will take a long time and then abort saying that it couldn't complete loading the file.

I guess I could use

head -n 100 data.CSV | vim

but it would be nice if I could scroll through the file in vim.
I can confirm that!

Quite a capitalist view you have there
Hyperbole for hyperbole: When an institution can't respond to urgent needs, or privileges one side of a balance over the other until it tips, there is nothing you can do for it.

I've read messages on OSI's mailing list that if you have to ask how your're going to make money making open source, you're the wrong person to make open source, and ought to make proprietary software, instead.
If money is the only measure of usefulness, sure. Don't you think that's a bit stupid though?
> Just think what kind of culture, music, science, ideas might result if all those people were liberated to do things they actually thought were important.

Is there really any reason to believe that this would amount to anything? Sure, there might be some people out there who would do useful or important work. But isn't there also the possibility that the majority of people would just feed their pleasure side all day long? Without any constraints, maybe we would just consume, have fun and go to the beach all day long?

Maybe a rather unintended purpose of some of these bullshit jobs is to put a strain on the endless desires some of us might have.

This could be intentional, as it incentivizes developers to support the Proton version, which makes native Linux support a much smaller leap.

Excited as I am about a big player pushing Linux, we mustn't forget that the intent is almost certainly just to chip away at Windows and the threat it poses to Valve's own monopoly (as a PC game distributor).

This is reminiscent of Gobekli Tepe. It was also abruptly covered up with an insane amount of manual effort. Wonder if that practice might be related.

I get what you're saying but Redis found popularity way before clouds started offering it.

Clouds later further contribute (and profit) to the ecosystem, but make no mistake they didn't help create or spend any resources for that ecosystem.

Redis is probably the number one kv store atm, not sure what the number two is, and for sure no clouds are offering it right now; but if this licensing thing goes sour with the community - you can be sure that

a) a fork will happen or the number two will gain popularity
b) that replacement once enough customers ask for it will get added to the clouds
c) the clouds again - with no initial investment will derive value

Basically the moral of the story is, be a cloud provider.
That's optimistic...

Google exerts a lot of power over Android.

The EU did recently punish Google for that, so theoretically Google now has to stop with it, but up until this point, they forced manufacturers to only ever preinstall the Google version of Android (or permanently lose their license to preinstall the Google Apps) and also forced manufacturers to always install the whole Google app bundle, not just the Play Store.

To put their power into perspective, just remember that Amazon has been in the game of distributing an Android fork and alternative app store for a while now. And Amazon is magnitudes bigger than Valve.
> It’s worth noting that this is a voulenteer program and that for every day you work you get 1 day off your sentence. So you can effectively halve your time in prison. This actually seems like a pretty good deal, what would you pay to get a day off your sentence?

Maybe the sentence was too long to begin with that suggests? If releasing that person in exchange for some simple work is ok (e.g. does not make us less safe, keeps victim whole etc ), why the sentence could not be like that to begin with?

I dont mean to make it general rule, I see why you want shorten sentences in exchange of good behavior to motivate prisoners. But, sentences are very long in America to begin with.

The practical difference between "if you dont work for 80cents an hour you get twice as much sentence" and "your sentence gets halved if you do" is rather small given that the number we are halving/doubling is arbitrary.
I'm not sure what you're saying here -- evolution is a theory, specifically it has a huge amount of accumulated evidence that indicates that the theory is correct, and makes meaningful falsifiable predictions which have also been validated, and numerous long term experiments that agree entirely with the theory.

Religion is defined by faith in something/anything explicitly in the absence of evidence, hence "faith".

Conspiracy "theories" often use the absence of evidence as de facto evidence. Which is not remotely logically sound.

The latest release has a package manager for plugins, so hopefully we'll see more support for remote stuff through that route.

Do you mean Android the open source project that pretty much everyone agrees is mostly useless on its own? Or Android as in Google Play, the proprietary software that Google controls fully?

It was easy. They just started using the same name, “Android”, for loads of proprietary stuff, and the geeks didn't care because they were too busying sucking up to Google for not being Microsoft.

Why All the Excitement About Artificial Intelligence?
It's not that hard to setup these days honestly, I think the requirement of having 2 GPUs is a turnoff for a lot of people though.

And I think it's been catching on a lot more now that both Intel offers VT-d standard in most of it's chips. So does AMD with its SVM equivalent.

I like this approach Valve is taking better than resorting to VMs though. I'll probably continue to use my GPU passthrough setup for now but when the game compatibility on this gets better I'll likely switch.

My point is killing off windows is not going to hurt everybody. And yes, I'm not the only person in the world. There are many others who don't need or use windows. So I just thought that was a bizarre statement to make.
As addressed in the FAQ, AGPL doesn't satisfy many requirements -- one of which is that it's often too restrictive in the wrong ways. If not the Commons Clause, a very viable "v2" is just to draft a more cohesive source-available license, or in the worst case move the project to closed source.
Interesting, though I doubt that there are real-world examples of purely centralized and purely decentralized corruption. Also, is centralized corruption a subset of decentralized?

I'm from Bulgaria and it looks like we have plenty of both types here. Come to think of it, the whole Balkan region looks like decentralized corruption on a large scale - there is no central authority that can take your bribe and let you get on with your business in peace.

I don't agree with this kind of "just to say" trivialization. Storytelling is an art many enjoy writing and reading. I actually learnt some new things I didn't know before. I had assumed all digital cameras have always been using YUV or variants. It's also helpful that the author reported his conversation with the original author of OpenCV - that kind of authentication is rare and valuable.

I can imagine the comments here if the blog was actually a one line article stating "BGR was used a lot back then".
More likely, this will enable existing titles to run on Linux, making it easier to sell Linux machines like Valve's Steam boxes. Meanwhile, Valve can incentivize native ports on their platforms through many means, so I don't think an OS/2 situation is likely. Also, having a good DirectX 12 implementation on top of Vulkan will likely be useful the same way that Vulkan on top of Metal is useful for macOS ports.

Of course... it's still a long and difficult road for Valve here, given how well emulation will need to work to accomplish this.
That's true, but Redis is not closed source. This only applies to a few enterprise modules.

Here is the data re. the claim that bullshit jobs are on the rise:

Notice its only ~800 adults, in one country (UK), and 50% said their job was meaningful.

But crucially there was never any research to track this trend over time so there was never any quantitative study to see if this has changed or even gotten better over time. Instead it just assumes things are getting "worse" based on anecdotes.
Whose interests does OSI want to represent? Those of developers, or those who want to use other's work? What's gained by advocating Free and Open Source as if it were a goal in itself, and dismiss other licenses as not "OSI- approved"?

I'm sure it depends on the examples you pick. I'm totally happy if people use my MITed code in a commerical product without reciprocating. I'm not writing it for them. I'm mostly writing it for myself. The payback is the joy I feel when others find it useful. I also feel joy by being part of the larger collection of people and companies that have given me so much free stuff.

License terms and business models intertwine. Choose Apache 2.0, you're going to have a hard time dual licensing. Choose something stronger, like AGPLv3, you'll have an easier time. Choose something even stronger, you may get locked in long Internet debates about whether it's still "open source".
My guess it's the standard caveat: if you don't pay for the service, you and your stuff is the commodity.

I think it would be useful to divide that between jobs that are 'zero-sum', jobs that are useless for the people who do it because they don't understand what they are doing and jobs that are really just accidents. The root cause of the increase of all these is the complexity of our lives: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17263041

Some more on the 'zero-sum jobs' (a metaphor) - jobs that are useful to the direct employer but are useless to the bigger organism. This can happen on many levels: a manager employing someone just to have bigger department (manager is the employer the biggger organism is the company), army (the employer is the particular state the bigger organism is the whole civilization). There are also cases where something is useless only partially - like advertising which does a useful job of informing customers, but that job is kind of the least important for it. There are also cases where there is like a pair of jobs to it: like police and thieves.
Yeah but those exceptions are pretty big. The hiring pipelines at FAANG are so over-tuned for false negatives that there are plenty of engineers who are good enough to work at a FAANG for FAANG-level compensation yet are not actually getting offers from FAANG companies. They're on the market for (market minus FAANG)-rate compensation.

Then you have to remember that FAANG companies are large enterprises, by definition, and that comes with a lot of overhead - design by committee, politicking between middle-management fiefdoms, not being a part of the conversation when irrefutable directives are issued by executives four levels above you, varying levels of paperwork and documentation that are necessary in large organizations. That's soul-sucking for a lot of people, and those people will exclude themselves from FAANG-level compensation, and are on the market for (market minus FAANG)-rate compensation.

The real reason why a lot of founders can't hire at market rate compensation is that any early employee, even if you're paying them market rate, needs to buy into your vision just as much as you do. The upside for early employees, even more than potential compensation, is in being a strong influence, including at relatively senior levels, as the company grows. If, as an IC, you find yourself being recruited by somebody who you think is a strong and experienced leader, selling a product that you personally think is important, then you grab the bull by the horns and get on. If somebody who rambles and can't make eye contact asks you to join to build out Uber-for-pidgeons, it doesn't really matter how much compensation is being offered; you're going to walk away.

Aside from the obvious difference USA <> Norway, saying "everyone copy Norway" is a huge generalization without much consideration for the situational and confounding variables present in different countries/societies/cultures.

Norway has ~5M people while the US has ~325M people. The US has a 5.35/100k murder rate compared to .51/100k murder rate for Norway [1]. In 2014, Chicago alone had 14x the number of murders the entire country of Norway had [2][3]. Pretty much across the board, the US has a ton more crime than Norway [4]. The scale and expanse of the problem is so vastly different between Norway and the US that is would take nothing short of a societal shift to begin to approach overhauling such a massive problem. Norway is basically sample size data when planning a criminal justice system for countries with 100M+ people that are already more socioeconomically strained.

Politics is a part of the problem, but fixing criminal justice is immensely more complicated than a 2-step solution of fix politics and copy Norway.

An important bit of context to this comment is that the official name of Taiwan is "the Republic of China", as opposed to "The People's Republic of China".
