Do you mean I could install this software on a box physically located in a building owned by my employer, but not on a virtual host?

I think you are trying to mean not that. Like, if I install it myself, it's okay, but if the "cloud vendor" installs it for me, that violates the license?

I think I understand the sorts of entities you have in mind to allow or not allow; I'm not sure it's clear how you'd write a license like that.

"The cloud" is in the end just hardware somewhere else. I think you are maybe fantasizing about a license that would be more about _what sorts of businesses_ are allowed to use it, than it is about _how_ it's run. The OSI open source definition does not allow licenses that "restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research." You could think that's an inappropriate restriction I guess. https://opensource.org/osd-annotated
NM doesn't always change resolv.conf. This entirely depends on the dns backend. If it's set to use dnsmasq, systemd-resolved or unbound as a dns backend, it never touches the file, instead passing nameservers in to the stub resolver dynamically.

You have me convinced.
The worst thing Oracle can do is deliver a bad feature. Java Gererics turn 15 this year. It's better to delay such a radical change than being stuck with it for the next few decades. Oracle is no hurry to do that. Maybe they get it together in time for the next LTS release (Java 14).
One of the problems is that people will give different answers depending on their expertise and there are very few people who have deep knowledge of database development and backend development and supporting large production systems because in the larger enterprise organizations people tend to specialise. I have around 20 years experience using Oracle database and can kind of translate that to other database servers e.g. postgres, sql server etc. I have a bit of knowledge of writing services in c#, ruby or java. Previously I would have advocated putting all the logic into the database but I'm starting to realise some of the compromises involved.

Reading the Oracle or postgres documentation gives a lot of information about the internals, tuning, acid etc although it can be a bit dry...
Never been a CTO, but, don't be afraid to give some of your responsibilities to other people. Not sure how else to describe it, what I mean is just don't expect yourself to do everything, you have dev team for coding, etc.

Make sure your developers have everything they need to do their job: like tools, specs, docs, designs, etc.

And don't be afraid to ask questions to your developers, there is no way you will know the product 100%.

That's a message from a regular dev.

Thanks, this is a really useful overview, and also explains why I always seem to get so many different explanations as to what graal is.
As the world around Java advances, people need libraries for different things. The question is, of all those libraries, how many of them do I actually need, which ones are maintained, and is it worth the cost of Java. Many languages, like Go, have first class seat in cross platform cloud and containerization that is hard to beat.
I don't understand giving a keynote like this and then not launching the product for months. Apple figured it out long ago - way more power in "it's available now" than the alternative of forcing customers to wait an indefinite amount of time.

Yep, saw a 4chan thread about how "the govt took down the video because they made a mistake that reveals it's a false flag!" However, it was a very weak argument, and even most of the usually-conspiracy-loving people on 4chan weren't buying it.
Do you know anything about Java? I'm not trying to be insulting. Java has its problems, but your points are so far off the mark. Applets haven't been a thing for 20 years and I'm not sure they were a thing then either. Do you know people make web apps in Java and there's a ton of quality open source libraries out there?
actually this licensing source system will just harm OSS. We should be trying to get companies to use GNU licensing wherever possible, so we can continue to reap the rewards of truly FOSS software.
I believe underdeliver is the word you want in this case.

"See the steep after-the-fact penalties for getting some types of things wrong (as opposed to simply just preventing them in the first place), as well as the prohibitive fees associated with "private letter rulings"."

Fees for private letter rulings don't seem like a problem to me, because people always have the option of arranging their affairs in a simple and straightforward manner. In order to deter gamesmanship, there needs to be a substantial cost to running close to the edge.

Google tried exactly this with Google+, and it failed. Facebook is optimized for network effects, and every feature / acquisition is decided upon that 1 criteria whether it increases network effects or not.
Yes and no. For many use cases, this might be justified.

* You are hosting an internal enterprise application and you are forcing all of your employee desktops to use Chrome any case.

* You are not serving a web site, but a business web app, which only works on a modern browser - because it is a business oriented app people are willing to switch the browser to use it. E.g. 3d modeler.
Absolutely not. I have large-ish hands (can play chords on a bass guitar) and find the iPhone 7+ chassis to be too big. I wish they had kept the SE size and split the difference between the two bigger sizes they introduced, like a 5.1” instead of a 4.7” and 5.5”.
All of which make good money selling support services and/or cloud infrastructure, and have decided to donate the fruits of the labor they are buying because doing so helps drive those businesses.

So, again, the developer labor is donated, by parties that are not blind to the market impacts. Where is the problem?

Tell HN: Steal idea for product to automate reporting of barking dogs complaints
Barking dogs are one of the most common noise complaints everywhere.

Reporting that to the owner or the city council, with proofs, may be complicated and time-consuming: it requires listening to barks through all the day, for days, recording them and keeping track of start time, end time, intensity... It's even more complicated if there's not one barking dog, but many spread across a neighborhood.

I think that a product to automate these reports would be very useful to control this nuisance, thus improving quality of living, for humans and dogs, in many places.

This product may be an app, or a special-purpose device, or a feature of an air quality measurement device or security camera. It could use "acoustic location", which would be especially useful to report barking spread across a neighborhood.

I want this. Please steal it, build it. (I could help if you want.)
Yes, it's really quite a vile racket they have going on there, making people do a BS that is 60% to 80% useless filler gunk.

I could understand stating that instructors will not slow down for unprepared students, and that people with a low or missing GPA don't get to sign up for classes until after other students have done so. That makes sense. Denying admission is improper.
Honestly, if you need real performance when writing a game, there's no reason not use the language that's most popular for your engine of choice. Mostly that's gong to be C++ with python scripting.
In VR your budget is 11 ms and you can't miss it or the entire frame is thrown away and you introduce a frame of latency to compensate. So for VR these kind of effects of GC are even worse.
But if you can walk anywhere, what is the point of the megacities that seem to be fetishized in this discussion? I think you're basically suggesting that it is possible to have a good, high-quality life within a certain geographic closure that is small enough to walk in.

That may be true. In some ways, it is suggesting a return to the past. But that also means we could just as well have a web of smaller cities that are interconnected (for example by high speed rail) instead of packing everyone tightly into a concrete and steel jungle.
That's why I said "retroactively declared illegal".
Yeah, that kinda makes it impossible to become a successor to Swing. But the situation actually got more sane because JavaFX can be included now as a Maven dependency, like any other framework.
Great reply, thanks! I did wonder if this would be useful for integration with things like cloud storage, so good to hear that it was one of your primary driving factors.
It's not Linux that's broken, it's arrogant developers of system daemons that are broken.
This is a great example, thank you.

The good people who operate the postal service, courier services and telephone networks also deploy very capable security tools to ensure their services aren't used to create mayhem.

It's not perfect, as occasionally FedEx will deliver a bomb, or the post office will deliver an envelope with anthrax powder, or a threat will be delivered by telephone.

But you can tell that the security tools are operating effectively because these events are rare and isolated. When was the last time 50 people died because of DHL or Verizon?

In contrast, Facebook released their creation on the world without the tools needed to keep it safe. Now they've lost control and are trying to deflect blame on "the industry".

We cannot allow Facebook to escape accountability. It's their responsibility, not "the community" or "the industry".

If they cannot fix it, and fast, then they must be rigorously regulated to disable features that cause more harm than good.

Zuckerberg's latest strategy is to encrypt everything so even Facebook can't read it. This is one more cynical attempt to force others to bear the negative externalities of the monster he created.
Both the government forces and terrorist forces (al-shabab, etc) of lower Somalia live-stream/broadcast/record their executions on Twitter from time to time. Though I've not seen it done on Twitch, I'd be very surprised if that hasn't been done yet. Typically this is by firing squad.

Look, I'm not going to get into the issues around the death penalty, but the fact remains that a lot of governments and semi-governments use SV tech just as they would use any radio/TV station/newspaper that is under their jurisdiction. Death is horrible, no question. But it's not like these events are being hidden away on sketchy websites that you have to hunt for. In many parts of the world, such types of death are celebrated and proudly posted to as many 'legitimate' news sites as possible by 'official' semi/governmental agencies.

A friend of mine who was also working at my previous workplace and also burned out took a job at the post office for a year. They didn’t understand why he was applying there with his qualifications. He told them he was sick of intellectual work and just wanted to move boxes from point A to point B all day long. He was hired. It may sound stupid but it helped him and he’s better now. I’m not saying you should take a silly job, but doing something simple that keeps you busy while putting your thoughts in order may help.

San Jose was explicitly listed as an acceptable starting point by the great grandparent, and I was responding accepting that framing since HSR would do exactly what was asked for, including operating from one of the enumerated endpoints, and yet was described as misdirected and solving the wrong problem.

Also, San Jose would be a connection point between HSR and Caltrain.
Simply because I wanted to. I prefer VHDL because that's what I was taught at university, but I don't do any HDL work professionally so don't take it as a particularly informed decision.

The video went “viral” because of news coverage. This idea that no one would have seen this video without Facebook is laughable. The only real “solutions” are the ones presented in parent post, that is total censorship beyond what even China’s doing. The scary thing is about half the people in this thread would actually welcome it.

I really don’t worry about mass shootings, because statistically they’re still utterly insignificant. You can take a step back and see the sky’s not (objectively) falling. But every time something like this happens and people race to give up hard-won rights and invite, even demand more control and censorship, it’s hard not to be cynical…

See, that's part of the problem. As an end-user, to me all those sound kinda samey and fill the same niche, but technically are different products.

As for others, I personally stopped using non-essential google products (i.e., the ones I believe that Google is unlikely to screw up without completely destroying faith in the company, like GMail or Maps), so I can't come up with anything. If you are curious, you can check out https://killedbygoogle.com/ and see if there is anything there that might fit the bill.

Disclaimer: I have zero affiliation with that website. I found it by trying to look up a list of killed off Google products, hoping it would bring up some memories. Then I realized that there are way too many products on the list for me to parse through, and the website has a nice and clean UI/UX that I am not ashamed to share here.
Ask HN: Seeking/have summer opportunities for undergraduate engineers?
I was recently asked about suggestions for summer experiences for an undergraduate CS/Applied math student.

I'd like to see something that informs and encourages the engineering path, amps up her enthusiasm, and that provides some real world (industry or academic) experience.

I have some ideas: internship programs at large companies in my industry (biotech-ish); summer of code projects; and generally the kind of things I can find via my personal network and a search engine. I'm sure that I'm missing more than I'm digging up.

I suspect that there are probably:

- other folks in my situation who would love to hear about nerdy opportunities, perhaps with different emphases (e.g. contributing to a peer reviewed paper, or ...); and

- folks with opportunities who would love to get the word out.

If you have actionable ideas or opportunities to promote, please share them. Tell us what you're looking for, what you have to offer, if you're focusing on particular communities, if you offer support, and anything else that seems relevant.

It could be a 12V AC adapter. Not too common, but they do exist. Four of the myriad diodes would be connected in a bridge rectifier to convert the AC to DC. (I don't see any smoothing capacitors though....)

Depending on how creative you wanted to get, a clock might be designed to run directly on a pulsating rectified DC supply. That would give you a sort of baseband embedded clock signal at 120 Hz. Or use two half-wave rectifiers and design the whole clock based on trinary logic, +12V/0/-12V.

Realistically, since the mains connection is hidden behind the frame, it would be easy to tap off internally a connection to the 12V AC signal from the secondary of the transformer, before it gets rectified and filtered to DC.
I was in no way denegrating your work. Apologies if sounded that way.

Sugary drinks linked to 31 percent higher risk of early death, study finds
But it's not interfering with a "transfer of the reins". The "next generation" that you're referring to has options - they can certainly make a life in numerous other locations. Instead they are coveting one of the most desirable places in the world, and want that location and its people to change in significant ways to accommodate them. I don't think that's the prior generation interfering as much as the next generation exhibiting entitlement - the entitlement of wanting scarce, highly-valued things, without creating the necessary value to earn it (that is, possessing the necessary wealth).

Moreover, I don't know that your perspective is uniform across any generation.
Some of my peers have thrown around the idea of team hires. Interviewing as a team and working as a team. The team is hired and quits together and is generally a collective that works within itself.

Google is a bitch to deal with, and that they put up layers and layers of barriers to actually talking with a human being is infuriating and a massive risk to anyone doing business through them...

...however, let's consider the other possibility: Google is in a perpetual game of whack-a-mole with nefarious actors who are the ones putting the scams, malware filled trash, etc, on the Android store. They get knocked down and pop up again under a new account, $25 later. These people are never going to admit their actions when telling the tale, however, so I'm always a little skeptical.

That was one thing I appreciated about Apple's process, at least for a company account -- I had to provide various business documents, get a business search done, etc. If I get knocked down, I can't simply make up a new name and appear again. Clearly it isn't perfect, but it does seem to reduce the scum churn.
I hope this service will not be shut down like google reader or google+ after google fails to capture high large chunk of the market.

> It’s unfortunate that you forgot to mention that these indie oss developers are highly sought after for independent contract work or direct hire positions.

For the most part, any developer who is good enough to create e.g. Redis and be hired could easily have skipped the "create Redis" part and just get hired in the first place, for far greater return on investment.

That's not even getting into the fact that leading a popular open source project is no guarantee of even being hired by those big companies, due to their interview processes. For example, Google rejected the creator of Homebrew, despite getting a lot of value out of the software, because of problems with whiteboard coding.
