The impression this thread gives me is that most commenters are shills hiding behind a concern for "open source values", which are not being touched in any sense.

Actually, moves like what elastic is doing are necessary to preserve the FOSS ecosystem.

Regardless, Id like to see this with other events as well, even casual events.
Does this even work? ES was considered 'one work' at some point, right? It's developed together, not file-by-file. How is it possible then to license it file-by-file? Wouldn't most of those files be derivative works of the old 'one work' anyway? (Meaning they have to keep the original license, meaning "the default license, Apache License 2.0"?)

Sure, at some point someone started to create a plugin for ES (let's say the security/ACL thing in x-pack, used to be called Shield or something like that), they used the ES API and they used runtime linking. (I have no idea if that's okay or not, has been tested in court or not. I know the US Supreme Court will say something about that in June.) But when developing any feature in that plugin nobody thinks of just that plugin. Folks think about ES as a whole, indexes, shards, documents, terms, maybe even in terms of low-level Lucene primitives.

I think it's practically impossible to wear the OSS and the proprietary hat at the same time. (Or separately but on the same project.)
> but because they correctly realized selling an OS isn’t a profit generator anymore

This may be true. It may also be that they recognised that they can reduce fragmentation of their userbase, and increase control, by making updates free, and the value of that to the business may exceed the dollar value made from charging for software updates.

Thailand has been technically a constitutional monarchy like the UK since 1932. But the constitutional role of a monarch is a lot bigger in a country which has had more coups than most countries have had elections in the time period since, and everyone involved has tried to claim their legitimacy comes from the monarch

Apparently some people don't have enough naturally-produced suffering? They feel the need to manufacture it by (over)doing something that should be enjoyable.
Open Distro is not a fork but simply a repackaging of ES with some additional modules.

However there doesn't seem to be many options left now but for Open Distro to become a complete fork of ES.
> We've got more than enough resources to ensure a good and happy baseline existence for a large number of people but we don't have the systems to distribute it fairly or effectively.

FWIW: this seems like a poor explanation for the current situation in the US, given that the people most angry with the direction of society are disproportionately wealthy, and the subjects about which they choose to fight are generally not related to personal wealth or resource distribution.
It sounds like everything outside of the x-pack directory is Apache or compatible with Apache, so the -oss binaries are Apache
It is a difficult pill to swallow because convincing someone they are going down the wrong path where free speech reigns requires nuance, knowledge of subject, listening, empathy, and tact. All things people are too lazy to do now, especially politicians, teachers, media, and media gatekeepers, who are the worst offenders of this, and simply wish to drive eyeballs, create a monopoly for their crappy ideas, and rile up their bases. Simply banning something never actually makes it go away, especially ideas.

It’s easier to declare them as an enemy of the state, communists, nazi’s, right wing, left wing, formenting insurrection, compelling violence, or whatever other set of buzzwords that sound dangerous enough and catchy.

Then you feel morally justified in silencing them, although you really haven’t silenced them, now they simply go into the dark recesses of society and simmer for years or decades, sometimes a generation or two, until it spills out in actually violent and chaotic ways.

I just wish people would actually sit down and talk again in real life. I wish online forums would stop driving engagement with votes and likes, and would stop downvoting and silencing for actual opinion or thought and drove real healthy engagement that cut this sort of behavior off at the knees.

I feel like a dinosaur at this point watching the comet come in.
There are Western countries where militant factions are calling to take up arms against both their own government and the party that recently won the elections for all branches of government, going as far as breaking into a government building with tie wraps, intending to kidnap politicians.
Only a a subset of our volume measurements are base-2. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup, 2 cups to a pint, 2 pints to a quart, and 4 quarts to a gallon, plus a few lesser used units in between (for example, a "gill" is apparently a half-cup) which is all well and good. But then there are 3 teaspoons to a tablespoon, and an assortment of units larger than a gallon: 63 gallons in a hogshead; a barrel, or half-hogshead, with 31.5 gallons; alternatively 42 gallons in an oil barrel.

Personally I think the "best" US unit is Fahrenheit, though only when used for human purposes. Going from 0-100 takes you from very cold to very hot, roughly the range of reasonable temperatures for a human to live in. A bit outside that range is also survivable with a bit more careful preparation. A place which experiences temperatures from 0-100 across a year isn't outrageous. Compare to Celsius where 0-100 ranges from only somewhat cold to far beyond what humans can reasonable exist in. Fahrenheit temperatures are just a bit more friendly to work with in my biased opinion.
Love the editor! Wish it were usable on mobile, too, but I don't know if that's useful or needed by most people.

What else do people use your editor to build, aside from landing pages (and forms)?
I don't think it takes "exact" hardware. It takes ARM64, which M1 delivers. I already have a test M1 machine with Linux running in a Parallels (tech preview) VM and it works great.
Autolanding systems already do that, they incorporate 'dithering' so that they spread landing wear randomly over the runway surface
A great book on the topic: Overcriminalization: The Limits of the Criminal Law by Douglas Husak

One important take away for me was that the way things are set up now is you often can't just commit one crime. For example, a simple burglary ends up with "breaking and entering", "trespassing", "theft", etc. This way, the prosecutor "throws the book at you" and if all the crimes apply, you are facing 50+ years in jail. You are then pressured to skip the court system and accept a plea bargain without facing a jury of your peers. This is a perversion of the judicial system.

You can disable 'write cache' on your linux system.

to see wether or not write cache is active

cat /sys/block/[your block device]/queue/write_cache

write back means the write operation is completed as soon as it hits the linux write cache
you can set it to write through to make it wait untill the controller responds, this has obvious performance implications depending on the workload. note that alot of hdd's and all ssd's have their own caches and you'll need to disable those as well.

that would at least give alot of performance back from the read cache.

check nvme controller write cache [1]

sudo nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0|grep vwc

disable nvme write cache

sudo nvme set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 0x6 -v 0

I have not tested anything and I do not recommend this in the slightest, dont expect to be protected against sudden power failure data loss. it will also destroy your ssd and amplify writes considerably.

I think it depends on whether Amazon wants to start funding development of their fork. I think under this new license, Amazon can’t just bring over changes from elastic any more.

If Amazon commits to dev work then their project might be the one that survives since it’s actually OSS and more capable of being used in more products.

But if they don’t then it will drift and not be very useful any longer.

In this case, it could be reasonably argued that the CSS/X11 definition of “coral” is just as wrong, and a quick image search provides all the proof we need. ;)

This site is an image search query tool, not a CSS color reference. We knew that before querying. It would be reasonable, and a great idea even, to return multiple results, and include the CSS color if the query matches that name. But maybe I really do want to query for pictures of coral and not the CSS color names. The CSS “coral” was someone’s arbitrary choice, and not the only right answer. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that CSS color names should be considered the authority on color names- to the exclusion of any other use of the word - outside of HTML or X11 contexts, or even within those contexts.

I bought a big old mill for $200. Where can I find even one cat-50 tool holder and cutter for $100? I have room for such a massive machine, most people don't which is why I got it so cheap. (or a way to move - the typical fork lift won't budge it)

I actually got two for that price, but on closer inspection one has a fatal break in the casting and so it is scrap - I expect to make $2500 once I get all the valuable parts off of it

I thought so. IANAL, but it looks like a blatant copyright violation to me. This indicates that the SSPL may not have been written by a lawyer.
The substitution might work better, you're right, but that's also effectively admitting that most jobs aren't creative. There is a qualitative difference between working close to the limit of one's abilities in a flow state, and having one's own ideas, following through the implications, and executing it using one's own wits. That's creative, and in my experience a lot more gratifying than just being engrossed in work.

In any case I think it's a mistake to become too transfixed by what features of work are most conducive to happiness. Yes, happiness is important. Perhaps it's the single most important criteria for choosing a line of work. But there are other, larger objectives - e.g., helping humankind, producing great things, being authentic to oneself, and leading a good life.
One of Google's largest PR mistakes has been not distancing itself more aggressively from Facebook. Everywhere I look I see criticisms of these 2 companies together being poor stewards of user data but almost all the articles focus on Facebook's track record.

I'm not saying Google is completely clean in this regard but it has never had breaches of data or trust that even compares to Facebook's. In this article for example, they can point to Cambridge Analytica for Facebook (which was bad IMO) and can point to Google Photos charging for high quality photos (uh... what?)

Even when it comes to government surveillance, Google was the first to release the transparency reports and from my understanding, even when requested to keep requests from data for law enforcement they'll often push back and notify the owners of the accounts when their data was requested and delivered to their government (according to a few lawyers I've spoken to which have had experience with Google provided data).

In general, yes, it can be tricky to determine what will and won't be confusing to people, since different people see things differently.

In this specific case, it doesn't seem tricky to me. When you have concrete examples of people getting confused, no speculation is needed.
Somewhat. However, their manuscript → markdown export has issues. I have seen people struggling with the flavor of its markdown a bit as well.

> Go ask Neil Gaiman or Stephen King if they know markdown and after explaining what it is ask if they need it? And I'd be willing to put money on them just stating "why not just make my italic text italic, why do I really need to put special characters around it?"

Gaiman has at least in the past stated he prefers to write his first drafts with a fountain pen in a physical notebook, to the point where there's various lists of the specific brands of pens he uses.

Stephen King prefers a Waterman fountain pen, though he's also been known to use typewriters, and may very well also use word processors. He's known to use Word for some work, certainly.

But because of the tools a lot of novelists use, a lot are used to using special marks to indicate the (very limited) formatting they do. Many people use multiple tools, including pens, text editors, smartphones, typewriters, or whatever is to hand. For some picking tools depending on what they work on is part of the process.

You may be right that most professional writers today use Word, but novelists makes up a very specific subset of professional writers and have very much idiosyncratic ideas about their preferred writing environment, ranging from the aforementioned fountain pens on anything from loose-leaf paper to very specific notebook choices, to old typewriters (some insisting on specific models of manual typewriters), via long outdated word processors, to modern word processors or editors written specifically for novelists (like Scrivener etc.). Or tools like the one linked here.

The point remains that in terms for formatting, Markdown is sufficient and simple. That does not mean it will be what everyone will prefer, like or even tolerate. But it has all the functionality needed to represent the formatting done in a typical novel, with minimal interference in the writing.
> > a wide range of human experience is lost

> What is the most important human experience that is lost by markets?

This is still the wrong way to look at it IMO. It's not that markets lose or destroy human experience, it's that it gets lost when we organize our society only via markets.

It's also a bit of a silly question because everybody will have a different answer depending on their personal moral and value system, but generally it will be things that are not easily priced.

Sticking with the theme of literacy of the overall discussion here, poetry comes to mind.

Poetry has notoriously low market value, and really poems are almost inherently not a good to be traded on a market. They are rooted in an oral tradition of poems being shared in social settings. At least in my personal experience, this is still largely the case. And yet many (obviously not all) people value poetry to some extent, perhaps because there are some poems they find beautiful, or they tickle the brain in just the right way.

But again, poetry is just one example and I'm not even saying that it's the most important one, it's just that they fit particularly well into the larger discussion here.

A Strong Mind over a Weak Bladder
If you have overactive bladder (OAB), you realize that it’s an undeniable actual issue. Yet, despite the fact that the issue is physical, some tried and true strategies for overseeing it are mental.
Good explanation here: https://perens.com/2017/02/14/bsl-1-1/

It’s from the day that the code is released under the license and the four years is the max under BSL (so that people know roughly what the “worst case scenario” it a BSL licensed software would be) but can be specified to be shorter by the one releasing code under it.
I agree that the licence fee is an anachronism and the BBC should have alternative funding instead, perhaps a ring-fenced budget paid from general taxation, but not because everyone has a TV.

Some people don't watch broadcast TV, and the BBC and its agents have been infamous for getting heavy-handed and harassing those who choose not to and who perfectly legitimately and legally do not have a TV licence. This is backed by a controversial law that criminalises the failure to have a licence if you do need one, which under any normal circumstances would only be a minor civil matter.

Meanwhile, today the BBC is very much a multimedia institution, but the licence fee remains tied specifically to broadcast television, a historical anomaly that could be fixed.

A different funding model that broke that link and removed the need for a separate licence fee could fix all of the problems with licence evasion and heavy-handed enforcement that have been a black mark on the BBC's history, as well as providing a fairer system where the public service is funded from public funds rather than singling out a particular group.
I run Apache licensed storage library. It is not big, but consulting fees cover my living.

Some time ago I changed development model. Public facing version is still Apache 2 licensed. But now there are no unit tests and no integration tests, those are proprietary now. And I extensively use code generator which is also not public.

It is still possible to fork/modify code. Merging pull request is bit more difficult for me (backport stuff to code generator). But it works great and nobody noticed anything.

Practically any serious use of my library has to go through me now. And I am the hero because my code is virtually without bugs. Magic!!! :)

I become disillusioned long time ago. Also people told me several times unit tests do not matter... but in reality they are most valuable part of know how.
Another view, they opened/maintained a lawn wherein you can come have picnic and may buy some drinks from the store, which covers the cost. Now a super chain opens next to them and uses park as free seating for its customer. So they are adding rule against that.
Open-source and free software licenses don't imply that the source must remain served on some site, and it doesn't imply that the license for the code cannot change for future versions of that code necessarily- as it depends on the license and/or other factors.

But if you have a copy of the license and the code and it permitted use of it perpetually, then it can continue to be used. That's my understanding.
I think you are grossly over estimating the contributions that the general community has to open source. Theres a company behind this project and they do most of the maintenance work.
It's often as simple as "does it affect your form?". If you tweak your ankle, and spend the next bunch of miles favoring it, you're moving stress and load from the part of your body that was trained to support that stress and load to some other part of your body. This can lead to cascading failures and more injury.

Also "the wall" just means you didn't fuel correctly and now feel really tired/weak/etc. It completely sucks to be sure, but it's a "body" feeling, and not a "knee" or "hamstring" feeling at a specific part of your body.
Amazon’s version of sherlocking
Well, I imagine he wouldn't have stabbed 435 of them as over one hundred were doing exactly what he wanted -- not certifying the election. And you're right, murdering a few members of Congress isn't likely to just completely overturn the government. It'll certainly continue to destabilize things though, I don't think I'll have to try and explain why murdering members of Congress while they move to certify an election would be destabilizing to political processes but maybe I will judging by how this conversation is going.

I'm also not inventing the whole thing out of thin cloth. People were arrested with caches of firearms near the Capitol. There is video evidence of gallows being constructed out front. You're ignoring reality to suggest these things never happened. These aren't fake reports, these are some of the few indictments which have so far been unsealed. I don't watch cable news, I don't get all my news from blogs. I read court documents. I read actual statistics. Go read the real, raw data.

As for the cop, it seems like you'd also argue car accidents don't kill people its the internal hemorrhaging that happens from completely unknown causes. Clearly the people beating the cop didn't intend to cause him harm, that's just how they say hello! You seriously think the protesters beating him with metal pipes didn't intend to cause him harm and potentially kill him? Do you go around being friendly and start hitting people in the head with metal pipes?
