It doesn't seem squishy to me insofar as you can't offer Mongo as a service and then swap Mongo out for a different product, while leaving your offering unchanged.

Any app using Mongo simply as a datastore on the backend can swap it out without altering their offering.
zappa (for example!) lets you produce a more or less normal flask app that you can run locally, or deploy to lambda / apigw with one command. another command let’s you stream the output of the code as it runs on lambda.

pretty sure similar tools exist for some of the other supported languages.

Could you be a bit more specific about what makes Haskell the language for this? I'm not sure it's going to be more comprehensible than Perl, for those who don't write Haskell full-time. I'm not sure it's going to be easier to read through the lines of an input file than it is in Perl, and I'm not sure it's going to be easier to apply regexes to lines than it is in Perl.

Is one of those assumptions wrong? Can you state why it's wrong?

Or do I need to adjust my sarcasm detector?
An amazing story, so rare to see the effort put into finding the human behind what would otherwise be a nameless tragedy. There's a good interview with the Dan Barry, the lead reporter, about why he was interested in investigating this story:

https://www.poynter.org/news/interview-dan-barry-writer-nyts...

> I had finished a long-form piece last November called “The Lost Children of Tuam,” and was looking for the next thing to do. A few days after Thanksgiving, I was reading the New York Daily News, and came across a very short story with the headline: “Prostie Death Jump As She Flees Police.” [0]

> I don’t know how else to put this except to say: This really pissed me off.

> I didn’t like — or even know — the term “prostie,” and I really didn’t like how a woman’s life and death was summarized so crassly. At that point I felt almost obliged to tell the story of this woman, who wasn’t identified in the Daily News piece. I wanted to explain who she was, where she came from, what her massage-parlor world was like, and how, if possible she came to this tragic end.

I currently use https://uptimerobot.com/ (free plan) and I'm happy with it. The free plan seems to offer more than yours (50 alert delivery targets & sites watched, same cadence, same metrics, public status pages included in free tier, including RSS, log exporting etc.). To upgrade to pro would also be 10x cheaper for a similar service-level[1,2]. Why should I switch?

They could be replaced, but the question becomes which one would be better (or worse). Additionally there are other ways to tackle this problem.

We'll end up banning everything. The concerns are valid, raising awareness is always good, but a solid plan is needed before we change the way we do agriculture.

> if major eyeball / gamer ISPs won't peer initially

Almost all the major retail ISPs in South Africa openly peer at NAPAfrica (https://www.napafrica.net/), mainly to pick up Akamai, Google, and more recently CloudFront, but also to bypass expensive local transit costs from the local 'carriers' (Telkom/Openserve, MTN, Vodacom, Internet Solutions etc.).

As far as I know, only the mobile networks (some of whom are building out FTTH networks, but with relatively limited market share) don't openly peer there:
- Vodacom
- MTN

https://www.napafrica.net/traffic/
NAPAfrica currently does ~500Gbps of traffic. Approx 4 years ago it was ~10Gbps.

Of course they’re entitled, but I’m also entitled to say I think this move was either idiotic or malevolent.

I’m unsympathetic to the “oh no the cloud” mindset. I’ve worked at companies that have made on-premise patches to FOSS since the 90s. Can you imagine if Linux required you to make the source available of all software you ran on it? Or MySQL? Or Perl/PHP? I can vaguely see the point of the AGPL for things like web front end stuff where there’s a blurry line between you visitor merely visiting your site and you distributing the software to them. But that’s just madness for infrastructure code.

And I’ll bet that the MongoDB team has used lots of FOSS that they didn’t financially support, so I see it as whining when they complain about others doing the same.
Don’t be appalled. This is not a failure. There are limited funds. Hypothesis driven work is thought to be more probably productive.

If you were handing out the funding, assuming equally good teams, do you choose the work that targets Parkinson’s mechanisms or the functional map of a less-explored bit of CNS?

We are doing basic exploration as well. We are just prioritizing targeted work in a resource constrained environment.
Unhelpful how? I'm providing an alternative NoSQL option (Postgres supports JSON - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/datatype-json.html) and you don't have to deal with this MongoDB licensing nonsense.

Good questions. I should add some of these to our FAQ.

Relica does file backup, not disk imaging -- for various reasons. So you'll install Relica and restore the files either on your new computer, or just log into the website (without needing to install Relica) and download a restore file --- that web restore feature is coming soon; we just got it working in dev last week. :)

You can back up all the files your user has access to with Relica. You can actually run it as root (on Linux) but we need to write a how-to for that, since it unfortunately requires disabling automatic upgrades for now. We'll work on making it more flexible for these use cases once we've got the basics more covered.
I understand that but your assuming you never replace the robot, no downtime, no amortization, no maintenance costs. Which is not reasonable either.

The difference is that a highly mechanically modified car is a fairly understandable system.

I write embedded firmware for robots for a living. I've got a fairly good grasp of the complexities of a system like this. These modifications terrify me.

How does he know that one system isn't talking the n-1 protocol which is incompatible in subtle and weird ways from the current one?
How does he know that there isn't calibration data hiding inside one of the systems he installed which assumes a different dynamic response?

Systems engineering for a system of this complexity is really really complicated. Bugs develop in the interactions between systems even when every part is working fine. If you start glueing stuff together which isn't designed to work together and is relying on unpublished unversioned APIs for communication, you're going to get all sorts of problems.
Maybe. If there's more lines of code in the Mongo part than the other part, is the value "primarily" Mongo? What if I made a file upload/download site? Mongo might constitute the bulk of the value/lines of code/whatever.

Words like "primarily" and "including, without limitation" make lawyers nervous.
Why exactly can't you explain that you're male? Why would you be defined by other people? I don't see how these points follow from mine in the slightest. And how did bodily autonomy enter into the conversation?

EDIT: At least one of my comments about this was regarding strategy rather than rights. Think about the scenarios like this: If someone misgenders you as a mistake, then a polite correction is appropriate. But if they do it as an insult, than a correction is probably not the best response.

If they do it because they don't even believe you're the gender that you claim to be, then a correction is a terrible tool for changing their mind. Both sides will only dig their heels in and come away feeling hostility for each other.
I think the more common use case would be having a work station at home and at your work, each with a screen, keyboard and mouse.

Then you could just plug your phone into the workstation you want to use, and switching between them would just be moving your phone. Staying home? Just plug in your phone. Decide to go to the office in the afternoon? Just bring your phone and you're set.

MongoDB made some very sketchy, undocumented (or poorly documented) technical decisions in its early years that placed data at great risk.

It's better now, but very few things worry technical people more than a database that loses data. It's hard to get past that early impression.

Snaps work on at least 40 different distros last time I looked. They remove a significant chunk of that 'library compatibility' because they ship the necessary dependencies in the package. While Ubuntu dominates the Linux desktop market, by a couple of orders of magnitude, we made snaps with the express intention of them working on all the major leading distros. The goal being to ensure you don't need to test on all those different distros. One snap to rule them all ;)

I believe the general idea is to provide drinking water where there is no pre-existing "residential tap water" infrastructure.
Just google “water from thin air”. This has been done quite often the past 15 years. It’s an overpriced dehumidifier that is working outdoors.

1. They’re in Hawaii. It’s a little humid there. So... yea. Dehumidifiers will collect quite a bit of water in a water abundant area.

2. The places that need clean water typically have low humidity as well. To pull water from air, there needs to be water in it.

Think of this as all those folks that claim they can run their car on water as a fuel. The thing they fail to mention was they were using a battery to split out the hydrogen from the water to use that as fuel. Which is not more efficient than just using the straight up battery.

This is a publicity stunt scam. A real shame too. That money would have been better spent on education or better water infrastructure in places of need.
All the DLC mechs they released periodically, wrecked the balance. A few were neat, but if you had all of them took away the fun for me. But, it was definitely a neat concept back then.
Of course not. hash table iteration should assume random order, otherwise it's a security risk or performance nightmare.
So do you proxy your calls from S3 to a serverless service? And do you handle cross origin calls via CORS? Just curious because I've never used serverless before.
Performance is pretty damn good too compared to MongoDB: https://www.percona.com/live/e17/sites/default/files/slides/...

In the article one of the scholars posits that the restorers tend to go for the most vivid and saturated versions of whichever colors they detect.

We should also note that many of these statues were placed outdoors. Colors might seem bright and garish in gallery lighting against muted white backgrounds but wouldn't pop quite so much under bright sunlight in the middle of a public square, especially once they develop a patina of dust and the sun starts bleaching them out (which would take no time at all under the Greek sun).
Yeah, that throws off huge “what would Oracle do” red flags.
#1 - A VPS that you can run multiple services on is 5 quid a month.

I spent more than that on a single train in to the city today.

Or you can just run from a residential connection for effectively free if your service is _that_ small.

#2 - "Serverless" paradigms change often enough that it's essentially another form of patching.

It's also obviously not true, any system you write code on needs to be patched because it has auth to this system.

#3 seems to be buzzwords with no substance?

As far as I can tell, the only "problem" that "serverless" (i.e. Our Servers) solves is Amazon not monetizing everything ever.
Mobile phone battery breakthroughs to watch
The implicit subtitle of this article is: In Smartphone Cameras.

The modern smartphone certainly adds computational strength that likely exceeds the image processing sophistication of even pro-level DSLRs. After all the performance gap between desktop and mobile CPUs is quite narrow at this point. The author rightly implies that the form factor of the phone creates an inherent set of limitations.

Outside the phone realm there are fewer and somewhat different limitations to deal with and that is where really interesting things are happening in photography today. Modern sensors have made great strides towards closing the gap between film and digital in terms of dynamic range. Full frame sensors with a large number of pixels allow for far greater resolution in images. Looking on DXO mark on how far sensors have come in the last decade is amazing. When I look at images created on my Nikon D200s they were very good and acceptable for a broad range of applications. Compared to the images from my D850, however, there is a quantum difference. Shooting RAW files gives me unprecedented creative control over the final image using a laptop instead of expansive requirements of a full darkroom. While, I shoot Nikon other companies like Sony, and Canon are more or less in the same place. We have reached the point where output from a DSLR sized body compares very favorably to a medium format sensor.

While computational adjuncts to image acquisition, whether in the form of phone software or Adobe like products, will play an increasingly important role in photography, there are still areas where hardware such as sensors, lenses, and physical stabilizers will improve.

ML is not magic, it's just statistics.
Maybe the GP is a natural early riser. I'm not but have managed to orient earlier. If left to my own devices 4am or 5am bed times are the norm but as I work I am up before 8am feeling fully rested and on an 8:15am call every morning. I must get 7-8 hours every night. That is the main differentiator.
I'm sure that there are tasks for which non-relational stores might be better suited, but pretty much anything MongoDB does, Postgres does it better and in a more performant way (esp after the optimizations to the JSONB data type in the last few major releases).
Don't believe so, have preferred dark themes and worn glasses for twenty years.

The bigger factor seems to be environment you are currently in:

- Fluorescent operating room/accountant's office/Initech --> white backgrounds needed.

- Darkened lab/color-correct studio/night-time --> dark backgrounds.

And of course this has gotten worse over the years as control over the gui theme has been lost.
I wonder if this would be a good candidate for the basis of a persistent ("functional") data structure?

O(1) pointer changes for insert/remove is a good sign, since pointer changes tend to become space overhead in a persistent data structure.
As a non-lawyer who's tried to understand copyright law, this analysis confuses me; my understanding was that in the realm of source code "by default" you only have rights to use that source code through a license or contract, so it seems odd that any restriction on the terms would be misuse or detrimental to competition, when the option always exists to not use MongoDB.

This isn't me trying to argue against the article; I'm trying to understand the law as it applies to my profession.

Python code doesn't have to be OOP to be idiomatic. That said, functional code that uses lambdas, map, etc. is generally not idiomatic Python. I've seen a lot get done just with functions, list comprehensions, and Python-specific magic without using OOP, though. Guess that's mostly just imperative on steroids, though.
I'd be interested in seeing a license that better accomplishes the goals cited as motivation for moving to this license, that would hopefully also avoid the flaws mentioned in this article and throughout the comments.

Is there an example of such a license?

Could this type of license even be created in an enforceable way?
Serverless (to me) means userland code is just functions. It is very simple. It may actually reduce lockin, because simple functions can port to any platform, even servers! (You just call the function)
