The project is lovely and exactly what I'd need. If only it was possible to buy a raspberry Pi with everything configured and 32 GB of memory for music...
Yes. They are not doing a very heavy computational workload. Typical heavy-duty servers these days can do 100k's or millions of TPS. 40 TPS is a really, really, really light load.

Further, I was looking at those new server specs. There's an error I think? The server config on the Dell site shows 2x 8 GB DRIMMs, for 16 GB RAM per sever, whereas the article says 2 TB!

With only 16GB of RAM, but 153.6 TB of NVMe storage, the real issue here is memory limitation for a general-purpose SQL database or a typical high-availability NoSQL database.

Check my math: 153600 GB storage / 16 GB memory = 9600:1 ratio

Consider, by comparison that a high data volume AWS i3en.24xlarge has 60TB of NVMe storage but 768 GB of RAM. A 78:1 ratio.

If the article is correct, and the error is in the config on the Dell page (not the blog), and this server is actually 2 TB RAM, then that's another story. That'd make it a ratio of 153600 / 2000 = ~77:1.

Quite in line with the AWS I3en.

But then it would baffle me why you would only get 40 TPS out of such a beast.

Check my logic. Did I miss something?
Keep a copy in there if you want for convenience, I argue you’ll still want a paper backup somewhere. Opsec is hard, people are fallible.

“What was the password?”, “Where’s the Yubikey?”, etc. These are not the failure scenarios you want to encounter during a tragedy (speaking from experience).
To be fair, it was actually extremely difficult for me to find the license text after Elastic's announcements too. All the announcements and FAQ's etc. seemed to omit a link to the actual text.
It depends on the weight, seat count and type of operation. Very generally speaking small jets with 9 seats or less and not being too heavy are CS-23 certified while larger (transport category) aircraft are CS-25.

So the small jet in my example indeed has less regulations than a larger airliner. And would probably not be allowed to be used for commercial air transport, only charter flights.

The system has just about as much capacity for transactions as batch-driven ACH clearing houses today. Until very recently, the expectation for ACH was that a transaction would clear after days (sometimes weeks). The end user of that product (at scale) is banks, not individuals. Bitcoin/crypto solves the problem of being able to essentially do a "briefcase full of cash" transaction over the internet, a use case that obviously only matters to a tiny sliver of people. The remaining majority would simply use more trust-based institutions (like the Lightning network) to facilitate convenient/instant transactions. The fact that you can run an hour long transaction in a trust-less way on the blockchain is just an option, but realistically not the use-case for most people.

Elastic reaped a lot of benefits from open-source software. It's unfortunate that this is happening, but their decision was self-serving for much of the company's life.
Interpreting your point to be "If it's legal, it's automatically acceptable", I can offer you clarity on why some people are coming down on AWS here:

They feel that Amazon's decision is unacceptable for whatever reasons, regardless that it is permitted by law.

This brings up memories for me also. I was under the impression that Tucows was founded in Canada though, because their headquarters is in Toronto. Although most people know them for their download site, they have also always been a pretty big domain registrar. According to wikipedia, they are the second biggest at the moment.

Because the insurrection on capitol hill provides the cover of legitimacy for people to act in a manner that also may be very inconsistent and politicized.

Jeff Bezos owns news publications, he has a worldview and likes to flaunt it to some extent, moreover, these systems are prone to the possibility of arbitrary, and often political decisions.

Note that historically, rich dudes bought newspapers to attack their political and business rivals. Though I don't think it's entirely like that today, we can't say there isn't some of that going on.

Literally Emamnuel Macron and Angela Merkel have spoken out about the arbitrary 'banning' of groups and individuals, and because there is an 'imminent consideration over here in the US' doesn't abnegate our broader concerns about arbitrary banning.

The EU will likely be acting on it.

Banning the KKK is not something anyone is worried about.

Banning some app because we don't like the extent to which they have moderated their discussions, is a much more slippery slope. Especially in light of other institutions that don't moderate very well either.

If the case could rationally be made that FB and Twitter are in the end, equally problematic in their moderation ... then it's likely they would not get banned from various places - they have money, power, influence and possibly friendly relations with other platforms.

It's a dangerous precedent and the EU leaders are essentially correct to speak out and even more so to act.
> Just the other day I found a case someone had rolled their own priority queue with a sorted array instead of a heap.

I feel like this story needs an ending? Did somebody re-implement it using a heap and found significant performance wins? Or was the sorted array used on purpose to take advantage of some specific cache constraints and actually end up being a huge win?

I found his work on gravity (I think it was the Principia but I’m not 100%) to be a difficult read and did not finish it. It did not seem to cover every point he made comprehensively and I had to fill in some gaps as I went. Some of his terminology was prone to having multiple meanings and the intended one wasn’t always immediately apparent. It still was fun in a nerdy way to have given it a shot.

Have one email account on your domain (example.com) and use that for everything important. Use a long random password for the account and don't 2FA it. Share that with your family. That's probably all they need to gain access and reset your other accounts.

If you 2FA the email account, you risk locking you and them out permanently for many services. I've written some about this. If you care to read it:

https://www.go350.com/posts/now-they-have-2fa-problems/

Also, if you 2FA other things and aren't really careful, you may lock them out even if they know the password and/or are able to reset it. That is by design.

This problem is growing larger every year as more sites enable or mandate 2FA. It's impossible for humans to manage this at scale.
What counts as leverage depends on the time and place. Not too long ago you might have blackmailed someone for smoking weed back in the day. Or for being born out of wedlock. Or for being gay (well, that one is still potent in a lot of places). Kids being stupid is normal, and something tells me that if this happened in, e.g., Amsterdam, the kid would have gone straight to his parents and the blackmailer would have gone to jail.
Very few drivers have been written, beyond handling low-level SoC stuff. The ones that have been are explicitly mentioned in the linked article, stuff like USB which leverages existing Linux code.

No keyboard, no trackpad, no GPU drivers (besides an unaccelerated framebuffer, setup and left by iBoot). There's some indication of Wi-Fi support, as it's a Broadcom FullMAC device (brcmfmac on Linux). But yeah, I'd say unusable without a USB hub and a myriad of external devices. Again, said as much in the article.

What complicated it is that usually when you were coming to Debian you were coming from Slackware or a BSD, so everything you knew about init systems and software distribution went out the window. Where's rc.local? Why did ./configure && make && make install destroy my system? Also: we're talking about 20 years ago: everything was harder then.
Obviously Amazon has the legal right to make a fork, but I think it's understandable why people would still prefer that the people who actually did the innovation and the majority of the work get their cut of the insane profits AWS is making.

Woah! Can you imagine what the cars today would look like if they hadn't and became a huge hit following the movie's status!?

Truly iconic.
Their concern seems (to me) to stem mostly from how the rest of their family will be able to use the household services if they pass.

Should the family have to setup new netflix accounts with new watch history tracking because the primary account holder passed away? Given how long it would take for the cc's to get cancelled and netflix to notice, would it be smart for your kids or partner to get that kind of gut wrenching reminder of what was lost months after your death?

No, you've got things reversed - as do most in this thread.

Elastic's original announcement was disingenuous, they titled their blog post "Doubling Down on Open" when they were making Elasticsearch and Kibana no longer open source. Furthermore, Elastic promised in the past that ALL FUTURE VERSIONS of the open core of Elasticsearch would remind Apache 2.0. They broke that promise when they switched to proprietary licenses only with 7.1.1.

BTW, while the reasoning from Elastic is that they did it because of Amazon, the actual effect is just to make organizations like the one I work for (a non-profit that refuses to run proprietary software in prod) have to use one of these Apache 2.0 forks, while not stopping Amazon from operating their Elasticsearch service at all (since Amazon is always free to operate an Apache 2.0 service and indeed that's the whole damn point of the license)

Title: Immorality or immortality?
Great to see that air quality and the health impacts of fine dust getting more and more attention.

Talking about "smarter kids", we should not forget the impact of CO2 on cognitive performance.

In order to run air purifiers effectively you need to block outside air. This in turn will lead to a substantial increase in CO2. Last year we measured the CO2 development in a classroom and detected extremely high CO2 levels [1].

I am living in an area of high air pollution, and more and more people are starting to move away from standard air purifiers and install positive pressure fresh air systems [2] that take outside air, filter it and release it inside the house. Thereby keeping CO2 low and presenting dirty air from entering.

One of the reasons why many people install these systems is because they are getting more aware of the cognitive impacts of bad air.

I don't think they were disingenuous here: I think they probably chose a license somewhat randomly (acknowledging it wasn't copy left probably?), then got developing. Down the road, they saw someone using the software in a way they didn't like and decided that as they were now bigger, they could afford to get a license drawn up with their values in mind. I doubt there was a nefarious plan to use a licence for it's reputation.

Now, I do think we are missing a standard license in this space - everyone seems to be writing their own, which limits those that can use them to larger projects.
You were just the "proof" they needed that there were no domestic engineers with the right skillset for the job they had so they could hire a H1B replacement for that salary.
But the whole point is that it does implicitly make that assumption. The fermi paradox is a paradox if and only if we would actually expect to see evidence of aliens. We would only expect to see evidence of aliens if they are actively trying to communicate with us. All other scenarios would require us to be extremely lucky (in which case there is no conflict with our lack of observation and thus no paradox).

If we assume that humans are fascinating, the fermi paradox is valid, if there is no interest in interacting with humans than the fermi paradox is invalid. The discussion is not a non-sequitur, it is the crux of the issue.
It feel like live by the sword, die by the sword to me.

Elastic because a highly successful business off the product being open source and then leveraging that into funding and enterprise licensing and maintenence.

To turn around after and go 'we love open source... No not like that' is disingenuous at best. The license choice was always yours to make, you took the one that gave you the best growth model that got you here.

> Elastic are alleging that Amazon abused the Elasticsearch trademark and stole code from the proprietary (not open-source) part of their product.

Sure, but that allegation has absolutely nothing to do with Elastic breaking its earlier promise to the community and making Elasticsearch/Kibana no longer open source. Indeed, the license change will have no effect on Amazon except to make Amazon's fork more successful because it's now been made necessary.
they should be paying all sites they steal from.

The sentiment you're trying to express here is empathy. There is more empathy for people protesting racial injustice and the murder of minority groups than there is for people waving hate group symbols and trying to kill political leaders. I don't see a need to demand a system void of empathy.

It's not a one side issue. It's not right vs. left. In the case of parler, it's largly Nazi vs. not Nazi, and that's a particularly easy case to judge. Parler does not represent conservative America, even if the extremists at the rally claim otherwise. It represents a mix of violent hate groups and conspiracy theorists. The small proportion of BLM activists that were actively violent do not represent liberal America.

Everyone has a choice. Everyone identifying as conservative can point at the white supremacists in DC and say "Those are my people" or "Those are not my people".
Some combination of job availability, industry usage, and likelihood of being around in 5-10 years.
And this is the core of the issue I think: people use Apache and MIT licenses by default without thinking two seconds about the consequences. It's just the default on GitHub.
My wife and I recently had to settle an estate (pre-covid), and most subscription services are quite easy to work with. The estate we were dealing with was a bit of a mess, so we basically had nothing to go on except some bank/credit card statements. We were able to contact the banks, deactivate all the credit cards, and contact some services to request refunds for several months of service. We didn't have any trouble getting those refunds after providing the death certificate.

Obviously, it would have been much less of a hassle if we'd had the account information from the beginning, but there were much more annoying problems to deal with than deactivating Netflix.

If you're really concerned about this, make sure you have a will in place and beneficiaries defined on your financial accounts. That is probably just as important as making sure your dependents have immediate access to your money.

AWS are the good guys here. Elastic built a popular product off the work of countless open source contributors. That's how they became a market leader in this product space. It's how open source works. The people who contributed to the product did so with no expectation of reward except that their efforts would remain open source.

Elasticsearch got popular, and now Elastic wants to reap all the rewards and make money off the product. They're free to do that, and create restricted-license or closed-source versions for future enhancements. But the community doesn't have to buy into that and continue to contribute to what is no longer truly an open source product. AWS is forking it and continuing with the original, truly open source license.

This is pretty much exactly what happened to MySQL, and now we have MariaDB, which is a better and truly open source product.

AWS does plenty of things worth criticizing, and one can even criticize them in this particular instance for not working with Elastic to provide more support to whatever it was they were asking for. And Elastic may very well have a legitimate gripe about trademarks. But yanking the Apache license out and moving to a more-restrictive license is not the right solution, and is not what everyone who contributed to building the product signed up for.

You can't create an open source project, wait for it to gain market dominance, decide to be less open source, and expect the community to continue contributing.

Elastic shot themselves in the foot and now they can either revert their decision or get left behind as the community moves on to what will ultimately end up being the better product.
The trademark side absolutely kills any credibility or goodwill they could hope to have.
> Can you imagine what the cars today would look like if they hadn't and became a huge hit following the movie's status!?

What cars today are you talking about?
Yes, but there needs to be a more complete solution to this. For this to happen, somebody should start funding one (relatively) professional developer per research group. Or, at least, there should be a way to fund "methodology/development" researchers/PhD students that have some domain knowledge, but mainly focus on aspects of publishing code, data, stats methodology, maintaining it, and ensuring that others can use it.
Unfortunately, in many fields there does not seem to be a niche for that.
But clearly this is a very important problem, possibly more important than funding a larger number of research ideas?

The 'binary mode' of FTP just meant not to translate line endings or potentially character set, in opposition to 'text mode'.

The advantage with HTTP wasn't efficiency, it was that resuming interrupted downloads was typically possible with FTP but not HTTP (because ranged GET took a long while to get support in both servers and clients).
If money was the way forward AMD wouldn't be kicking Intel's behind. It is more about the right people and the right culture. IMO Intel doesn't have either and haven't in quote a bit of years.

Amazon are the masters of theivery. The hypocrisy is not going unnoticed. Amazon contributed nothing of value to open source, then they basically stole the hard work of others and again contributed nothing back and now they're going so far as to preach about open source. Please. The sad part is, users won't care and customers won't care because at the end of the day ease of use wins. Elastic are taking drastic measures which will in the short term impact then but hopefully in the long term everyone will give more thought to what licenses they choose. Open source is no longer just about the freedom of choice but now a marketing and commercial strategy for big tech. Just keep that in mind if you ever want to build something of value in the open.
what aws does is more oss than that what elastic does. elastic also did it because of $$. so neither of them wins.
Well, I hope you are right.
