Where are you getting that the BSD license isn't Free Software?

Look at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ISC

"This license is sometimes also known as the OpenBSD License. It is a free software license"

You can also find the "BSD" licenses on there but they are frowned on because BSD license (to Stallman) is an ambiguous term.

The Free Software Definition gives you the 4 freedoms[1]:

"The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this."

Since the BSD, ISC, MIT, X11 licenses all give you the 4 freedoms, they are, by the FSF's definition a Free Software License. The GPL is also by the FSF's definition a Free Software License.

Since the BSD, ISC, MIT, and X11 all meet the Open Source Definition[2] they are Open Source licenses according to the OSI. Since the GPL also meets the Open Source definition, the OSI consider it an Open Source license.

If you read https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.... Stallman states that Free Software doesn't have to do with copyleft vs permissive:
"Another misunderstanding of “open source” is the idea that it means “not using the GNU GPL.” This tends to accompany another misunderstanding that “free software” means “GPL-covered software.” These are both mistaken, since the GNU GPL qualifies as an open source license and most of the open source licenses qualify as free software licenses. There are many free software licenses aside from the GNU GPL."

The complexity lies in the ecosystem (GHC, extensions) rather than the language itself.

But yeah, I agree, comparing the haskell you learn at your first programming course, and the production haskell, it's like 2 different worlds
From reports, Google Translate has effectively created its own internal (AI GD ML) metalanguage, which can interpolate between languages it's not been specifically trained on. E.g., with Japanese <-> English and Korean <-> English, Google Translate can manage Japanese <-> Korean, without being specifically trained to do so.

So yes, there's an intermediary language. But it's not English.

Don't worry about it. It could have been a mistake or a bot randomly voting. Either way complaining about down votes is against community guidelines.
Example : My brother recently fell off a roof and broke his back. Paralyzed now from the waist down. Can't work. Insurance is now gone because he cant work to pay premiums. That first year was great... insurance covered everything. Now... his long term care will end up being medicare disability which means he loses everything he owns.
Defense in depth is important in organizations for exactly this reason. It only takes one admin falling for a well crafted phishing email to get an insider in your network, which is why you need to design it in a way where they find a whole new set of roadblocks once they're inside.

Sure they might eventually break those too, but it's time and effort and opportunity to be caught.

Do you think optimism and hope should be outlawed? I know it's an odd question.

If a placebo "works" for some people - doesn't harm them, is relatively inexpensive, is a free choice for them to make - should it be prevented?
How long before the Salesforce acquisition now?
Yep, used them for inbound/outbound processing and they are pretty flawless.
Everything Is Alive
You're honestly not wrong; I've spent a lot of time working in the industry and consulting companies (specifically McKinsey, but all the audit firms are involved too) are the back channel for much of the high-level corruption in the world.
That's surprising since it's fairly straightforward.

The type of `3` gets inferred as `Num a => a` because there's nothing to constrain it further.

The type of `div 6 2` gets inferred as `Integral a => a` because the type of `div` is `Integral a => a -> a -> a`.

The type of `3 + 1.0` gets inferred as `Fractional a => a` because of the decimal point.

Then the same thing happens in the last statement so the type of the subexpression `(div 6 2)` (still) gets inferred to `Integral a => a` and the type of `1.0` (still) gets inferred to `Fractional a => a` because of the decimal point.

So at that point you have an expression that's trying to add something constrained to being a whole number to something constrained to being a fractional number and that is ill typed because there is no type you could choose for the overall expression that would meet both sets of constraints.

Edit: When I first replied there was text at the bottom of the message saying that no one could explain why this happens. My comment was addressing that portion of the original message. The behavior itself is not surprising for the same reasons.
Are you referring to a modern clean diesel with DPF/SCR or the old mechanical smoke belching rattlers? My friends Passat was a 2009 model I believe.
Are you guys not into reading the actual article?

"The Noah’s Flood theory claimed that as Earth’s last ice age ended, melting polar ice caps caused the Mediterranean waters to rise, which pushed a channel through the mountains to form what is now the Bosporus, resulting in a catastrophic seawater deluge 200 times stronger than Niagara Falls. In months, it estimated, the Black Sea inundated a land mass the size of Ireland, flooding a mile a day."

"With more data to be analysed, it supports the idea that the waters rose unnoticeably, by metres over centuries, even millennia."

This is not about disproving the Bible story, but the theory that the Bible story is based on an actual catastrophic event that inspired the Bible story.

It seems there was no such catastrophic event.
Hi everybody. As the author of original Phantom OS idea I'd like to thank you for the discussion.

I am here to answer any question, please ask.

If you have some collaboration or experiment with Phantom in mind, I'll be happy to discuss. I'm looking for practical but simple use case for Phantom OS.
It may be worth looking into postmarketOS, although chances are your device won't be well supported from the start.

Admission exams tied to expected educational profile work better, but because they are not standardized among universities, they have been destroyed.

They don't test merit either (perhaps some students would do better after a remedial programme) and are still prone to corruption.
So, the footnotes for the "admin" "admin" (46. Id. ¶ 225 (emphasis omitted) points at footnote 1. Am. Compl. ¶ 3.) claim refer to the amended complaint, paragraph 3? Any idea where this amended complaint is, which most of the early footnotes are referring to?
Similar experience with Estonia. It is way overhyped to what it is in practice. It is quite tiny and poor country, and understandably they try to attract foreign business and investors. However just some e-residency card which is not that useful in practice doesn't solve that. The general operating environment feels like that old fusty soviet union, and that is just not that easy problem to solve.
Yes, software that runs on the instance can learn instance metadata. No, that is not a problem. Running e.g. user-supplied scripts on the instance would be "pretty damn dumb", but no one is that dumb. Any widely distributed software that did something shady with instance metadata would get busted PDQ. Just like any widely distributed software that did something shady with e.g. root credentials, which is about the same threat scenario.
Reimbursement compression along with EHR/EMR requirements has seen a lot of practices acquired by large health systems.
I wonder if the Equifax case can be used a precedent to 'dismiss' other cases where a breach was made using "admin"/"admin".

Dismiss as in the same penalty Equifax had to pay per breached user.
Was the founder just using the company as a front to collect dubiously legal artifacts perhaps? Basically as a way to insulate himself behind his company in case some irate government came looking for them.

What the heck? The article clearly says: Every round of DU ammunition leaves a residue of uranium dust on everything it hits.

We talk about semi-desert environment where dust flies all around, and it doesn't become easily locked in soil like in more humid environment. If you live a kilometer downwind from place where an A-10 smashed some iraqi tanks with DU ammunition, you have clear source of exposure.
This is a great idea, thank you for creating it. Could I suggest 2 things?

1) Can you group the projects according to the language or framework (e.g. Python, JavaScript, Node, Arduino, C++, Java, etc).

2) Can you carve out a separate section for projects that currently have no maintainers? I had to scroll through the entire list to see if there was something that I could help with.

(I'm on my phone, so if these sections already exist on desktop, I didn't see them.)
Nobody looks at logs anymore? Strange, those are very useful.

Google Analytics isn't the only analytics tool and as blockers have become more prevalent relying on GA as your sole source of truth is becoming increasingly desperate to worship Google. Ideally you run a simple analytics tool alongside that is lightweight and doesn't get blocked (ie, privacy friendly) as well as running a log analyzer on your apache/webserver logs.
I like Stallman and I think every software developer owes him credit. But no way he wouldn't include a manifesto about why open source isn't enough.
Severance isnt required by law?
I think Brave is fine, but the important difference between the two is that Brave is Chromium, and ultimately dependent on Chromium development. Firefox is 100% independent, and a true "third party" browser implementation. With Microsoft/Edge switching to Chromium I think that's more important than ever.

Breakthrough gene-editing tool can find and replace DNA better than CRISPR
Over time I learned to prefer European B2B tech companies, because they strive to be profitable from the beginning, take less VC money, are more stable, predictable, cost-conscious, engineering-focused, and, therefore, often much less likely to be acquired: Adyen, MessageBird, KeyCDN, OVH, Hetzner, INWX, Mailbox. It's a bit sad to take Mailjet out of this list, even if it's considered a success for the company.
You can use it. You have a right to your god. And I have a right not to worship it.

Good for you! But don’t criticize the majority of the world who are principled about not worshipping deities they don’t believe in.
Firefox unless you want to continue to support Google's development of a privacy hostile browser (Brave is after all a Chromium browser).
My Microsoft Ignite 2019 Interview with Mary-Jo Foley
That's based on Son having a paper net worth of ~$85-$90 billion at the peak of the dotcom bubble and seeing all but about $3 billion of it vanish, peak to trough. You can move the numbers a bit (eg debate over the peak figure), however it still comes out in a similar way... he plausibly lost the most wealth - on paper - of any person that has ever lived.

Yasumitsu Shigeta, another Japanese dotcom super billionaire, lost around $41 billion on paper during the crash. He recovered somewhat and remains a billionaire.
They cooked the books like they cooked the Earth.
Yes. I remember people (including me) being a bit amazed by the web version of Outlook that first made use of it. Technically MS introduced this functionality in IE5 in 1999, as an ActiveX control.

It was a Microsoft-only thing for a while though, until Mozilla/Safari/Opera implemented their own versions. That took a few years IIRC.

At any rate, Gmail was what made the world really take notice of what AJAX could do.

Back when I had an ISP in the mid 90s, I felt like I was king of the world as I had a T1 going to my place (as I only had to pay for the local loop, bandwidth was “free” by owning the ISP). My dream back then was to have those speeds everywhere I went. Fast forward 25 years and my watch can get 20x that speed even in a random rural area.

No - they don't want to keep paying thousands for training every time someone leaves.

And it's a lot of thousands - don't merely count the cost of training. Count the salary they are being paid while they learn.

Hi HN! I made this.

How it works:

a) Subscribe on the homepage [1]

b) Choose your interests and skills [2]

c) The system will now crawl various job boards or social posts and send you weekly summary with the best picks based on your preferences from previous step

d) You can upvote/downvote each pick allowing the system to learn from you for the next round (week)

Disadvantages:

Clearly the weekly interval which can cause some positions to be already filled when you get the email.

Final note:

The ideal persona for this product is not actively looking for a job. He/she already has a job, but is thinking about going remote for some reason (traveling, commuting, family).

Appreciate any feedback!

WeWork Accepts SoftBank Takeover Offer
Just a quick gut-check: are we sure this is working well with accounting firms?

They're all merging again post-Arthur-Anderson scandal with their services consulting businesses and while there may be controls and training and they're all pretty serious about it (I worked for such a company at one point) it doesn't seem like many folks are getting dinged on violations of late.

I agree that it is worth the cost (as a citizen whose data is being lost) but in the current landscape the companies may argue that it is not, and might be right.
Imagine being able to list all the software projects written in C, C++, Java, or C# on one short blog post!

At my last real job, the entire IT staff was getting laid off when the new CIO came in. One team after another and replaced with contractors. We knew in November of 2016 things weren't going to last. I was on the last IT team still employed.

My manager was fighting tooth and nail to try and save at least some of us. But come February (3 months longer than other IT teams) the fight was over and he lost. We were all laid off. I was given 6 months severance + insurance if I would stay around for 1 month and do a knowledge transfer to the new team, one of the easiest decision of my life. The majority of the team were escorted off premises that day.

Manager's boss helped everyone secure a new job (except 1 who just disappeared never to be heard from again), I got a contract gig for double the pay of that job.

I still talk to everyone, and we are all in better positions today than we were there.

I wonder where is a deep hate for other brutal dictatorships du jour like Saudi Arabia, a great friend of US no matter how many atrocities they do internally or externally.

China deserves all the bashing it gets (and some more), but news of past weeks are very biased only and precisely against it. Like it would be, I dunno, orchestrated or something.

edit: I should mention that this a paid feature ($9 a month).

To the person / people down voting, can you share your ideas for how you can go about providing at-scale management of large estates of physical machines? I've never seen anything else that's both as practical and as affordable as IPMI / IDRAC / ILO systems that ship with servers, that doesn't introduce weird new failure conditions that can impact significantly more than a single host.
In addition to the physical ID card, Estonian system also has MobileID, that uses the SIM toolkit. So there is no hassle with the physical card reader.

And also the newest is SmartID(used by banks), also based on mobile devices, but without requiring a special SIM card.

I wouldn't put any money on that. There are too many things that just don't add up, and I don't think they have the numbers.

I think the impeachment process is a two-pronged attack: damage Trump (always a plus from the Democrat standpoint), and damage Biden enough that he's not a factor in the primaries.

It was my mistake to link to the summary, I was actually referring to the full report in the comments before.

As for your quote, it needs to be read in the context of the full paragraph. Its written sloppily, but a better phrasing would be: "We don't see the worldwide acceleration observed by Nerem et al. (2018) in the Netherlands' coast area, within the 1993-2017 record". I.e. they are saying the global trend is not the same as the local (Dutch) trend. Perfectly reasonable.

> I must say I'm currently on the fence about the role of CO2 in global warming.

Well, I could imagine your doubts about sea level rise because they are difficult and uncertain. But there is absolutely no scientific doubt about the role of CO2 in global warming. In fact, CO2 as a control knob of the climate is the only way to explain climatic variations observed in (at least) the past 500 million years. What is uncertain is the predictions because they are influenced by action taken to curb emissions etc.

There is a great video series on YouTube by "potholer54" that shows the scientific evidence for it better than I can. The first video is only 10 minutes and addresses the general points rather well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52KLGqDSAjo&list=PL82yk73N8e...
