I agree. For days I thought perhaps hundreds had been protesting. I was blown away to hear it was thousands, and immediately realized that the media was latching onto perhaps dozens of bad apples, so to speak.

I think it’s plain to see that most Americans don’t want to murder politicians. The Republican voters who feel disenfranchised aren’t all sharpening their axes right now.

I think it’s insane what happened. It just isn’t representative of republicans.

Not sure what to do with that. I’m Canadian so I suppose it doesn’t matter much. I only see what the media gives me and I don’t personally know a lot of Americans, let alone republicans.
Wasn’t the issue that the whole industry did a joint venture, but Intel decided to go it alone?

I worked at a site (in a unrelated industry) where there was a lot of collaborative semiconductor stuff going on, and the only logo “missing” was Intel.
Yes, but they are close source. So I don't know yet how they did it. They have a windows driver obviously. Deskreen needs 3 display drivers so the technical task is even more challenging.
This is a press release, with little context on how their innovation compare against other upcoming technologies and how fast they could get to market.

As far as I know AWS's version *is* open source.
This source would need to serve as a proxy to the real source (if it exists) in law that claims these rules are in fact, actual law. That is what is being asked. This is not law, it appears rather a organization on a plight to attempt to make it law. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have never heard of a software engineer requiring a licence to do their work. How many titles out there have sales engineer? I'm not one to flaunt laws, but it's hard to imagine a large portion of companies, some very reputable, are illegally employing boatloads of engineers in Canada. On a lighter note, it's also hard not to imagine that this organization is the personified Karen of engineering gatekeeping. Is there anything, anywhere that actually sources Canadian Law?

I have never in any software engineering position I've ever applied for seen any form of "Applicant must show an engineering licence to be considered". Why is that not ever seen? Shouldn't all these companies be abiding by the law?

I'm simply leaving all doors open to prove it wrong with an open mind, but the evidence has to be clear. Is it part of law or is it not? And if so, from an official source, where?
The damage has already been done. Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras were pushed out. The Intercept has shown their true colors at this point.
Thanks, this makes sense.

What confuses me is the overloading of "free market" to mean something opposed to government intervention.

My recollection (from discussion with an engineer on that project) was that they were using Itanium there. They used Itanium in preference to amd64 because amd64 had one fewer address pin than they memory they wanted to put on needed.

Haha! thanks :)
Please don't confuse trademarks and Copyrights - they are entirely separate things. Using a trademark is not infringing Copyright. It may or may not be infringing the trademark, but that's a whole different thing.

In general, anyone can use your trademark as long as they are using it about you or your product. I can say "I like Coca Cola, it tastes great" or even "Coca Cola is disgusting" but if I put Coca Cola on the menu but give you Pepsi, that's infringing.

This is why some projects have generic names and brand names for the commercial version. PhoneGap and Cordova, RedHat and Centos, etc. Amazon can offer a machine and say "This is Centos, it's mostly the same as RedHat", but they can't say "This is RedHat" unless they pay for actual RedHat.
Nope, but he is a well known Open Source developer and he is good with words.

To give the story a bit more context, I always felt that Elastic built on Lucene without giving much back.

And, while Lucene is not the standard for clarity itself, the open source code of Elastic is very hard to understand and it has very few comments, AFAIR. It did not feel like the core team was proudly sharing.
Many people do code against some sort of VM, but there are still people writing code in C/C++/Rust/Go/&c that gets compiled to machine code and run directly.

Also, even if you're running against a VM, your VM is running on an ISA, so performance differences between them are still relevant to your code's performance.
That’s why I don’t like „retweets are not endorsements“. Spreading a message is endorsement, one way or another. They have the choice to retweet or not and when they choose to spread the message, they become co-responsible for its consequences.
I don't think of it that way at all. Nothing is free. The servers cost money. It costs money (resources) to manage servers. The cloud offerings appeal to us because we do not want to manage servers. AWS ES appeals to us because it is hard for us to sign contracts to buy software outside AWS. The trajectory of the software is definitely something we factor into the decision, but it is very often outweighed by the other factors. To me it is AWS Elastic vs Elastic Cloud vs hosting our own Elastic. Or use something else entirely.
I'm a WFH veteran, 2 years at the current gig before quarantine and 4+ before the current gig.

Work is going even better as a WFH person now that I don't go out or have to take my kids anywhere.

It’s a condition of licensed transmission on amateur radio frequencies that the operators are identifiable (give their official call sign as often as is practical) and that what is said is plainly understandable to anyone listening.

You can’t do ‘anonymous code talk’ even if you do happen to have a licence. You can’t broadcast music, or do one-to-many messages except to setup one-to-one conversations (ie CQ or during club “nets”) - it’s not free, in fact it’s quite regulated.
Thank you for the kind words!

That's a good point on the avatars idea. We'll need to create a version of the notes app, where there's a public aspect of it. So maybe being able to publish it.

I am in germany, so, a few things are different. But the stores, restaurants etc. are closed and until recently, the place where i live had an curfew after 21:00.

The first few weeks of the lockdown were good: After work i have written on a story i wanted to publish for a few years now, learned Rust, build an analog computer and worked on some side projects... but now my wife (who is lucky to work full time) and i are moving slowly to the funny farm. Dark and rainy weather, a complete lack of normal social interaction with people outside of work and not many distractions are taking its toll...

2. Source Code

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

Turns out there is a Wiki entry [1] on it

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storey
In a way it's hinting at the need for anti-trust barriers similar to how India barred Amazon from both running a product marketplace and offering it's own products in the same marketplace.

I can see both sides of it though. If there are an anti-trust barrier between running AWS and offering major services on top of it, there would be a better overall segregation and likely more innovation overall. On the other hand, putting up a barrier there would be both complex and leaky, and cause missing out on sorts of efficiencies from close integration of cloud platform + services.
Clearly, we've gotta change. Something needs to be done. But I think we should very carefully weigh our options, lest we become that which we seek to destroy.

SemiAccurate has written a lot about the reasons, for me the essence from that was: complacency, unrealistic goals, they didn't have a plan B in case schedule slips.

That is so not true. When are doctors supposed to perform research or their required continuing education? When seeing clients? No. It’s on their own time.

WFH made me and my coworkers work later since it bleeds easily into daily life. It feels harder to setup boundaries. I took a vacation to get work done. I needed to get out of meetings and not have to check slack so much.
Your quick trip through the etymology triggered an opsec thought:

It may be worth a suggestive talk to expand how people take words.

A pop culture reference would be Daniel Jackson from the series, "SG-1"

We may often be constrained in our ability to understand and assess by our own preconceptions relating to language.

"Ultrasonic" was interpreted very differently by any number of us having this watermarking discussion. How often do we make assumptions about the possible field of play based on language basics?

How often do those fail to be sufficiently inclusive?

I bet it happens more than we realize.

Seems like a good basis for a DEFCON talk. "Where is Daniel Jackson when your team needs him?"

Well, if we can have speculative execution, why not speculative decode? You could decode the stream as if the next instruction started at $CURRENT_PC+1, $CURRENT_PC+2, etc. When you know how many bytes the instruction at $CURRENT_PC takes, you could keep the right decode and throw the rest away.

Sure, it would mean multiple duplicate decoders, which eats up transistors. On the other hand, we've got to find something useful for all those transistors to do, and this looks useful...
My wife has been 100% WFH since the start of the pandemic and the biggest thing I can do for her is encourage her to get out of the house. It is so easy to stay inside the house and basically never leave. Going for a walk, driving around and seeing people out and about, sitting alone in the park for a bit... things like that really help get her back into a better headspace.

FWIW, I'm forced to work in the office and I'm also feeling incredibly burnt out and unproductive.
It's interesting that if you step back and look at what Amazon has been most willing to just blow up and destroy, it is the idea of intellectual property of any kind. It comes out clearly in their business practices. This muscle memory may make it hard for ARM to have a long term stable relationship with a company like ARM.
It's the same deal with cloudant and IBM cloud. Rebranding couchDB as their own. Putting on a web UI on top of it and rebranding it entirely.

Radio was a natural monopoly, but thanks to federation, social media need not be. (Note federation means one app, multiple echo chambers, should be easy.)
I don't know if open-source _businesses_ are healthy for open-source. It seems to fit much better with community volunteer projects without the pressure of trying to develop a business model around them: which feels like the root of the problem. Sponsoring developers with Patreon and donation runs has worked in the past and given us great projects.
The determinant inherently involves a basis (or at the very least a choice of unit n-vector). Or if you like you can think of the determinant as a function of a square matrix (grid of numbers), rather than a function of a collection of vectors.

When you take the basis out, that's the wedge product, which inherently includes the orientation. Conveniently, there is only one degree of freedom for n-vectors in n-dimensional space. When we take the quotient of two n-vectors in n-dimensional space we therefore get a scalar.

Thermally modulated lithium iron phosphate batteries for mass-market electric vehicles

The pursuit of energy density has driven electric vehicle (EV) batteries from using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathodes in early days to ternary layered oxides increasingly rich in nickel; however, it is impossible to forgo the LFP battery due to its unsurpassed safety, as well as its low cost and cobalt-free nature. Here we demonstrate a thermally modulated LFP battery to offer an adequate cruise range per charge that is extendable by 10 min recharge in all climates, essentially guaranteeing EVs that are free of range anxiety. Such a thermally modulated LFP battery designed to operate at a working temperature around 60 °C in any ambient condition promises to be a well-rounded powertrain for mass-market EVs. Furthermore, we reveal that the limited working time at the high temperature presents an opportunity to use graphite of low surface areas, thereby prospectively prolonging the EV lifespan to greater than two million miles.
Doesn't matter, because Shay's argument is that they own the trademark for Elasticsearch, which is absolutely correct: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4802:y6y...

Doesn't matter who has contributed to the project - whoever they are they own rights to keep the code base open and licensed open, but they don't own the name or the trademark rights. It would be well within Elastic's rights to change the name on the repo.

Remember the whole Docker/Moby thing?
I don't have a feeling for how big that is, but I work from home in a small flat. I have found that I can get this separation from only using my desk for work. I don't sit in my office chair or at my desk in my own time, if I'm writing code in my free time I do it on my sofa or at my coffee table.

Alternatives I've heard from others are things like dressing up for work. I had a colleague that wore a suit to work every day (at a tech startup) so that when he got home he could change into something else. That helped him define a boundary.

Find what works for you, it doesn't have to be physical space.
If you're working on a shared project where people might care, I usually have the [PSScriptAnalyzer][1] just auto-correct any aliases dynamically for me in my IDE.

> Android devices allow side loading

Possibly not for long, though. There has been speculation that Google will push to have its "Advanced Protection" model extended to mass-market phones. This would make it impossible to side-load apps, except for that tiny minority of nerds like us who know how to enable ADB and push the app to the device over the command line.
There are plenty closed-source (or rather not-open-source) source-available licenses and software.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Source-available_software

> Any license which restricts a user's ability to use the software how they wish is no open source license.

Then is AGPL not open source? It has requirments/restrictions on modified privative usage/distribution.
It's like the 60's all over again!
Interesting point. Monarchies are obviously not great, but it's good to remember that they aren't evil or something, and that there can still be a balance of power.

I've been thinking that, in a liberal democracy, there's not much of a national identity. It's like a football club where anyone can drop in, and vote to play chess instead.

I generally think that's fine, except that it seems like having no identity at all is a vacuum, and gets filled by something. That could easily end up being the opposite of liberal democracy, so lack of identity can be self-defeating.
I use seed.run and it is absolutely outstanding. The UI is incredibly easy to use and I have so much more confidence in my deployments.

These guys have done an outstanding job, definitely take a look. It's an indispensable tool.
If you ask me, these license changes are bait and switch. If they had started with this license it wouldn't have the same adoption, now they are pulling it.
That's pretty ironic considering MariaDB's history.
Amazon came in and took a bunch of that money while not giving anything back.

Amazon is giving a lot back to the community, though. They are providing a really valuable service when they provide open source software as a service. They aren't giving back to Elastic the company, but it's important to note the difference, because Amazon isn't being a bad actor here. I think it's reasonable for both Amazon and Elastic to act the way they do, and I think the competition between their respective business models will end up in a better set of products available to developers.
Parler is rolling, zuck's friends hating
The only conditions I can see causing WFH burnout are:

* small children without other childcare (daycare)

* never experienced a long drive to the office before working from home

* social people who have never had children

Why WFH is great:

* I save 10+ hours per week by not driving. I am also saving tons on money from: gas, lunches, road tolls.

* Not spending a business day on the road each week dodging maniacs means I am less tired and distracted at work time.

* I can spend more time with my kids.

* My house is quiet during the day. I can focus on doing work. If there is no work assigned then work on a personal project or complete maintenance on the house.
Cherry picking. Not a system feature. Good luck with that in general.
Continual Medical Education (CMEs) are definitely during normal work days. They're also often at fancy destinations with hotels and mai tais. My father and other family have done them for years. They never had to take vacation days.
> We have differentiated with proprietary features, and now we see these feature designs serving as "inspiration" for Amazon

I am sympathetic to many of Elastic's complaints, but not this one. If you make an open-core product, you have to expect that others will attempt to make competing, possibly open source, alternatives to your proprietary components.
SAML vs. OAuth
I wouldn't exactly call that "competition" though.
spot on. The lesson for would-be companies formed around open source is pretty stark: if your stuff is any good, then assume the clould vendors will offer it. If they do, it's going to be really hard for you to compete with a separate commercial offering.

Not only has the cloud vendor already gone through the hoops of getting an enterprise agreement in place. They're also big, and recognised, and know how to deal with Procurement. And Risk. And Compliance. And Legal.

Not saying I like that situation. It does seem unjust that the big guys can just cherry-pick good products and monetise them without giving anything back. It offends my sense of fairness. But that's commercial reality, at least in today's markets.
Parliament can pass any law it wants. That's central to the system the UK has.

The BBC is dependent on a fee collected by the government, as regulated by laws the government has passed and the government enforces. Insisting it's not government funded is trying to invent a distinction where none exists.
> If semiconductors are the key to winning a war, why hasn't the U.S. won one lately?

Semiconductors aren’t going to help change people’s cultures or religion or tribal affiliations without decades of heavy investment in education and infrastructure, or other large scale wealth transfers.

But if “winning a war” means killing the opposing members while minimizing your own losses, surely electronic superiority will help.
However, since NovelWriter is GPLv3 licensed, they could in theory incorporate code from Pandoc, which is GPLv2 licensed, directly into NovelWriter.
That sounds like what's being said, though I don't know how practical it will be to try and monitor/triangulate/whatever a bunch of short range, low-power FRS walkie-talkies. Maybe it just means if you get arrested and have one on your person, you get more charges.
I switched back from coffee to tea.

Partly because we have "real coffee" here in Portugal (expresso, a cultural import from the Italians via the Cimbalino series of coffee shop hardware, IIRC), partly because a long mug is better suited to winter, and partly because I am back working 90% with British folk, to the extent where we can compare blends...

But, overall, it suits me better. Takes longer to drink, does not mess with my stomach in the mornings, and smells great.

(Mind you, we do not consider American-style coffee to be "coffee" in the strictest sense of the word, because it's too processed/diluted/mixed).
So much of the ocean is unexplored. I love to see stuff like this
