Yes, but as a customer of RH, you are not allowed to distribute RH's binaries, or they will terminate your contract. That is also against the spirit of the GPL, although not necessarily the letter. You can take the source, remove the branding, recompile, and redistribute, which is similar to what CentOS does/used to. However, the GPL allows the former too. i.e., You can straight up distribute the binaries under GPL.
If the new MongoDB licence is non-free, the chances that Debian will include that software in their repos are nil.

>A more productive venting for your frustration may be asking more insightful questions. Asking what the idea of "absurd" in "absurd life" derives from is a good start, but only as long as you seek to hear the answer, rather than have it disproven.

I didn't feel upset or frustrated, I regret giving that impression. Your 'tone' seems to me extremely arrogant, and it makes me want to not engage a moment longer with you. It sounds like you think already have all the answers. I'll let you talk with more 'insightful' people.
The US and the EU really aren't comparable, as much as people like to model them as analogous.

In Europe you have tens of countries that speak different languages and have cultures that go back 1000-2000 years. That, along with a bunch of political baggage and that each nation has its own fiscal policy, and the starting points between EU and US are very very different.

I would instead extend your concession that given the single currency already exhibits creaks in the US, imagine how hard it would be to manage in the EU.
It's a matter of scaling. If your job is "I want to run MongoDB," then it makes sense to track MongoDB's repo. If your job is "I want to run 100 different applications," then tracking 100 upstream repos (and dealing with their usually 80%-competent jobs of handling library dependencies, etc.) is no fun.

I happen to be in the latter position. Developers at both my employer and my previous employers generally cannot just install whatever they want, mostly for longevity/support reasons (at my current employer there's a way for developers to import outside code into the monorepo, which means just this week I'm cleaning up Node 0.10 and Go 1.3 from the monorepo...). They go through a team that builds them a system they can use. And that team strongly prefers to get software from our Linux distro than from third parties, because every single team has their own preferred third parties to get software from.

I do agree that for a shop that's running a single big web application with Mongo as the backend, they're probably installing it from upstream (and happier with that), but that's not the only use case.
Are you sure? Surely the company itself owns the properties, which is very very different from a controlling family owning the properties.

Sure, it can do that - but in CRA's setup, it doesn't; Babel handles that for you. Babel's TypeScript support allows CRA to re-use its Babel pipeline, and the linter metaphor was meant to help people understand that.

Like most metaphors, it's not a one-on-one match.

I expect most DDG users would stop using it. Apple may be the "least bad" of the big players when it comes to privacy, but I have no trust in them and no interest in using their services.

It would probably make a lot of sense for Apple though, and I'm sure they'd convince more Apple loyalists to switch to DDG from Google by putting their name on it.
Changing things to be more modular in order to make it more manageable is a great idea.

But the problem is still that you cannot make any such change to existing large Javascript codebase, because you don't have the kind of tools that you need in order to do so with any confidence that you won't have an enormous amount of uncaught runtime errors when you're done. This is what a static type system gives you.

> FTTH has unfortunately not been rolled out enough.

Much of the effort driving the rollout of fiber was done by a company called ReggeFiber. KPN saw it as a threat, bought a majority stake in ReggeFiber and killed most fiber investments. It's classic monopolistic behavior by an incumbent and it's a major failure of telecom regulators that they allowed KPN to buy ReggeFiber.

It's also extremely short sighted given how KPN is totally losing the speed battle against cable. It's like they want to go to shit.

EDIT: just found read comment (from an account created to write that single comment‽): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18920213 - looks like someone at KPN had a change of heart.

As somebody mentioned, if you own a building as a shareholder in new company, and you have more shareholders (not one shareholder), you can buy rent from it as long as price is in market.

Company rents office from other company, you can have as many companies as you want.
“The fact that we are no longer offering behavioral targeting options in Europe does not seem to be in the way of what advertisers want to do with us,” he said. “The desirability of a brand may be stronger than the targeting capabilities. We have not been impacted from a revenue standpoint, and, on the contrary, our digital advertising business continues to grow nicely.”

I wonder if smaller sites could do the same thing or this is only working so well because they're the NYT?
I'm a car nut and love cars. I like the idea of a new Supra, but I don't think it'll last long. The days of the sports coupe are gone. (i.e. the Accord Coupe was a great car, but nobody wanted one.) 'Muscle cars' are an exception, but these differ from sporty coupes.

I predict a short run.

Edit: Others are correctly pointing out that the BRZ/86 twins sell well, but these are small cars, not bigger semi-luxury couples ala the BMW 8.
But precisely, you are voting on laws, not on an abstract "would you rather leave or remain" question.

The referendum should have been held now: "We have this deal prepared, would you leave with this deal, leave with no deal, or remain?"
Unnecessary, no one is being duped into investing in a business in which they have no say. If they deem it's worth the additional agency risk, then they should be able to afford it, if not, they and others will learn going forward.
This is pretty cool. I could see Apple or someone taking this idea and running with it. Like Face ID, they could use the front-facing camera with a NN to determine the location of nearby light sources, then provide an API to render 3D and reflective surfaces in a environmentally consistent way. Perhaps not just reflective highlights, but actual reflected and refracted images from the camera.
So you’re going to “move to the cloud” and just host a bunch of VMs.

Congratulations, you now have the worse of all worlds. You’re spending more than baremetal, you’re spending just as much on maintenance and management instead of letting someone else do the “undifferentiated heavy lifting” and your developers are moving slower than they would have if they took advantage of your cloud vendors offerings.

Taking the "they voted to leave regardless of deal" concept to the absurd: technically pointing all the british nukes at ourselves and literally wiping ourselves off the face of the earth would remove us from the EU. But no-one voted for that.

On the other end of the spectrum, leaving the EU, but remaining under all EU regulations, staying in the free trade / free movement / etc laws, being in a similar position as now, paying massive divorce bills and paying essentially membership fees / EU taxes with no return EU investment into the UK and with no voice or representation in the EU politics at all, the whole 'vassal state' thing, could be technically "leaving the EU" as well. But that's also not what anyone voting to leave meant either.

"Out at any price / In at any price" is as absurd a polarisation as the above examples.

People have been trying to paint this as a binary issue - ever since the referrendum put it in such a YES/NO terminology. But we're not binary creatures, life is messy and complex.
It does, but that's "not a problem" as long as it doesn't use this function to implement something that's executed during this function.
It does not look like something what would be suitable for surveillance. Quality is only good to catch that something is happening on the ground but I doubt that this is suitable to be reliable source of truth and I don't even speak about this being used as evidence in the court.
I prefer just setting coverage requirements to 100%, and give developers the freedom to mark code as ignored for coverage (e.g. /* istanbul ignore next */ for many Javascript applications). That way, the annotation is something that can be brought up during code reviews in case the reviewer does not agree with that not being covered, and it doesn't depend on the reviewer having to remember to run or look at a separate coverage report.

A company is not an organization of people who come together to exercise their free speech. This is especially true of large corporations. Large corporations are controlled by a few individuals and those individuals have at their disposal large sums of money. They have an outsized influence on the political process in a system that does not cap their ability to spend on political purposes. A company ought not have any free speech rights. It’s not a person and indeed is not a single individual. The free speech rights of employees and directors of a company are not in any way curtailed by limiting the ability of a company to influence the political process of a country.

As I stated in my previous post the amount of money at a large corporation’s disposal far exceeds that of any other organization of people who come together to advocate on their behalf. Professional societies of doctors can’t come close to the amount of money that Apple or Google have at their disposal. The difference in money between the dishwashers and doctors is dwarfed by the difference between doctors and Apple.

Countries like France and Germany are generally considered free and yet their corporations don’t have free speech rights and are limited in what they can do in terms of political spending. Before Citizens United most Americans considered America a free country and yet corporations weren’t considered to have the same free speech rights as humans. It’s been recognized by most people that money greatly influences elections and policy. Hence societies concerned about becoming oligarchies tend to have strict controls on political spending by a single individual and corporation.

A corporation is not at all like a professional society of doctors or of any other group of people. It’s a matter of magnitudes of scale and differing purpose. We used to have laws against one company owning too much media and yet we felt free at the time. I’m not going to convince you to change your mind on whether or not corporations should have free speech. I’m just pointing out that corporations are, indeed, not like a professional society of doctors.

A professional society of doctors is free to have a rule that members must pledge to be of a particular religion. Can a company have that rule? A company is not a group of people coming together for the purpose of influencing policy or expressing their free speech.

I almost forgot to mention another thing to consider. Apple is owned in part by people living in other countries. Most people of a given country don’t want their politics unduly influenced by people who don’t live there.
I had a look at wikipedia on the Good Friday Agreement and it doesn't seem to say much about trade and customs. Already NI has some different laws to the mainland (gay marriage) and some trade restrictions (cattle). If brexit just "violates their idea of the spirit of"... then I think we can maybe live with that.

Companies are made up of people, and the people are liable for any laws they violate while conducting the business of the company. Furthermore if companies aren't persons, do they therefore not have any of the obligations or responsibilities of a person, to obey the law, to answer to the courts, to be held to contracts or be the subject of law suits? The argument against corporate personhood is, frankly, utterly incoherent. Clearly they are entities which can have rights and obligations, many of which are similar to and derive from those of the people of which they are composed.

What Apple is doing is more like visiting a country and being told you either have to participate in stoning someone or pay a fine, and they are paying the fine. That's why they won't operate iCloud services in China, which will instead be run by a Chinese company which Apple will have to pay for the service.
I once taught[1] the building blocks of git (basically bullet time view of a commit) and people found it a bit too theoretical - even though it contained all the elements, that helped me to understand and appreciate the simplicity.

There is a point, where you go from memorization (add, push, commit) to deduction (graph, objects and refs) but when this point is reached, depends on many individual factors.

The FTP team is the body that ordinarily makes binding policy decisions about licenses in Debian. It's not typically the project leader's job, so I read this statement as saying "despite the .signature, I'm speaking in my role as a member of the FTP team, not the project leader overruling the FTP team."
They were bought in 1998 and managed to keep their unique way of doing things for 20 years afterwards? Sounds like the founders negotiated a seriously good outcome.

I really don't understand how you can call anyone a sellout with a spectacular outcome like that. Most acquisitions go like "nothing will change, pinky promise!" and then 6 weeks later "oh btw we're discontinuing $WHY_YOU_LOVED_US".
Negotiations for a trade deal take years and the country will greatly suffer in the mean time as it is not prepared for a no deal scenario. The recent events with the traffic jam simulation or the ferry company without ferries are great examples of that. And that’s assuming that the trade deal negotiated with the EU after the departure would be more favourable than the one proposed today; the four freedoms come together, and it’s unlikely to change.

I would be curious to know about why the EU is in trouble; in my opinion the UK is, and massively. Brexiters have sold leaving the EU as the solution to a wide range of issues (housing, health, immigration, etc) and when people will realise all of this was extraordinarily optimistic (not to say, a lie), there will be a certain uprising and it won’t be pretty. We could also mention that the union is also at risk, from the non respect of the Belfast agreement to the fact that Scotland and Northern Ireland did not vote for Brexit: independence desires could loom again, and it could become very real very soon.

Every sensible organisation in this country have warned against a no deal and the catastrophic effect it would have. -8% GDP according to the government’s analysis. But yeah bloody remainers, the source of all misery...

Ask HN: Stop drinking coffee
I want to know if there is anyone in the HN crowd that is in my position and has done it? I drink about 0.7-0.9 l per day and has done so for decades. While I haven't noticed any harmful effects (well.. except for being a night owl but I have always ascribed that to my personality type), it costs money and I'm dependent on it. Without having any in the morning, I can't think straight, get irritable and so on.

Has anyone been in my position and experimented with going cold turkey for a month or so? What effects did you notice? Did you return to coffee?

The UK doesn't have much to export in terms of natural resources (excepting Ireland), or hard-to-move industry. That leaves services, which can go away easily. So the situation was already bad in terms of overt influence, compared to, say, Germany.

Behind the scenes however, the British seem to stay important. The safekeeping of the Gladio operatives' names, Steele's involvement against Trump, the UK national who started the White Helmets, ... I have the vague feeling that les rosbifs seem to pop up a lot where the action is, just not too obviously.

Okay, yeah you make a good point. Strictly speaking a logarithmic function does not imply a convergent series. To be more precise, what I'm talking about are slowly varying functions.
