Out of curiosity, what kind of markets are those two companies in and how much competition exist.

Using open source libraries is, among other things, a cost saving measure. It allows a company to focus their expertise on what they are good at, without having to spend time and resources on reinventing wheels. Banning tools that enable a company to produce products faster, cheaper and (sometimes) more stable and secure can have a major impact when the competition does not limit themselves in the same way. However if the market is dominated by a monopoly or is very slow, then increased costs and delays might not have much of an impact.

As an example of such company, Google's revenue would not be impacted by a single percent if they suddenly needed to hire 200 more programmers for android. Delay next version with 2 months and the impact for android market share would unlikely be statistically verifiable.
And the winner is Exxon.
Well I’m having fun with this post, your objections are completely warranted.

If you’d like to email me the address in my profile I will post a serious response in my blog. Long story short, I think an attractive, credible looking webpage helps enormously in user acceptance.
God there's a name I haven't heard for a decade or so.
You get it. Making lots of money cannot be a result of open source. But open source can be a result of making lots of money.

The ultimate fate of the wave of companies switching to AGPL and similar licenses now will be the proof (or disproof!) of this.
Yep, I think it's the first step to a world without it.
While yes, that is one possible way to reach herd immunity. At what human cost?

I'll echo the other comments about the iPad being the better choice in this case (though you may as well get the Air rather than the Pro - you can get the same Magic Keyboard as the 11-inch Pro for typing).

As well as being more familiar right away because it will mostly feel like a bigger iPhone, it's a better device for reading (put the Kindle app on there with a Kindle Unlimited subscription for a bajillion books and some free magazine subscriptions), it's got a better camera for FaceTime, if she's at all artistically minded there are a ton of excellent drawing apps to go with the Apple Pencil, etc.

The one big caveat I would point out is that the gesture controls have really poor discovery, so you may want to print out and laminate a cheat sheet (like the illustrated versions on https://ipadpilotnews.com/2020/04/all-the-gestures-ipad-pilo...) for easy reference.

These wood-burning ranges are not uncommon in the UK

I don't think we will see an M2 chip before next year. It's rumoured to be on 4nm and yeilds will be highly problematic to push a 4nm product out that soon.

I think Apple will try to stick to a proper one year cadence for the M1, M2, M3 line, just like they have successfully done for years with their A series.

But we might still see an "M1X" this year. An M1 with 6 or 8 big firestorm cores.

Hard to tell. Apple might be planning to skip over the larger M1 in favor of putting the remaining products directly onto the M2 generation.
The UK's production capabilities are more or less irrelevant. Why not just ignore it? It's not like they're going to suddenly become some massive economic force.
I use ctags+vim every day with rather large C++ codebases (but then again I'm a dinosaur).

Derek Chauvin found guilty of all 3 charges in George Floyd's death
If those hours were redeployed in such a way that people still had decent jobs, sure... but a lot of what we programmers do has a much less positive impact on other people and their jobs.
I'm a little surprised that they didn't do an M2 chip for the iMac. However, perhaps they'll roll that out later this year with a 27" iMac refresh. In any case, the M1 is insanely fast and will be more than fantastic for most people.
This is pretty exciting. There's a lot of cruft there that nobody dealt with - often because nobody really saw it as their job to do so.
Ooh, and there's an official darwin-arm64 binary too :) https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.0.0/
I guess you'll have to stay disappointed, because "wormhole" is a very bad name for a new point-to-point file transfer system, browser-mediated cryptography is almost never really "end-to-end", and AES-GCM is not an ideal choice for an AEAD, though it is, as I said earlier, "imperfectly fine".

There's no larger issue I'm here to comment on!
>you remove non-work distractions from their free time

I don't think the narrative is usually "you can't work on anything else"; it's that you can't claim to have two jobs.

>you reduce their job market value by preventing them from having a portfolio or any public profile

It's not clear to me that "setr@gmail.com" vs "setr@ibm.com" changes the equation on portfolio lookup by any significant degree.

>you get to vacuum up any IP they generate outside of work hours

This seems to me the only real significant part of the equation, and by far the dangerous one -- a benevolent company will generally not care if your side projects are unrelated to you main project, but ultimately the decision is entirely their's, leaving a gaping hole of largely unnecessary risk.

The justification however is really that it becomes murky really quickly -- your generated IP is usually in the same vein as what you do at work (you work at what you're good at, and you presumably need to be good at X to produce new IP in it). So it quickly becomes questionable how much of that IP was really just you pulling on resources/knowledge/equipment from your working environment.
Standard tools or specialty tools?

I suppose if you can't lift 80lbs out of an awkward spot, it's also not user replaceable? The line has to be drawn somewhere.
What's losing my interest more and more is that their music recommendations are terrible, rarely match my taste...

The really aggravating thing is that we know they have the tech to do better. There was that demo of a 2D embedding of genre-space that actually did a pretty decent job of grouping similar-sounding songs together, but their recommendations all seem to be based off of what was popular at the same time, or what came from the same label.

E.g. when I ask for recommendations for a song like "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," I should get "Avril 14th," not "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."
yes but afaict SSPL was kiiinda becoming a de facto "f off AWS" license that was generally becoming standard. thats all any of these vendors want, they're not coming up with new licenses just for shits and giggles.

standards evolve over time, it was entirely possible that Grafana could have thrown its weight behind SSPL and helped legitimize it more.

I always wonder what makes YouTube/Twitter, in particular its so-called reviewers or fact-checkers, think that they are on the right side of the history? They are not necessarily better informed, they are not necessarily better educated, and they are not necessarily better at research, they are not necessarily better at interpreting stats. In fact, I question if many of them understand scientific research at all. Yet they had no problem banning a person for citing a research from Stanford that questions the effectiveness of masks. Yet they had no problem declaring Florida's governor was spreading misinformation in a round-table discussion. Yet they had no problem shutting down anyone a year ago who supported wearing mask or staying at home, and shutting down anyone now who claims the opposite now.

In fact, YouTube, according to BBC, bans any coronavirus-related content that directly contradicts World Health Organization (WHO) advice. Yet isn't it true that WHO gave really bad advice in the early days of Covid-19? Isn't true that Taiwan ignored WHO's advice and implemented strict containment policy to a great success? Isn't Thailand representative harshly criticized WHO for their dubious corroboration with Chinese government? What makes YouTube think that they possess moral superiority over other people?
I have always treated my professional work with software as very serious business.

We aren't developing anything with direct life-safety consequences, but we are dealing with PII and other people's money. I see no reason to relax due diligence on anywhere along this spectrum. It's either correct or its not, and the consequences for getting something wrong are universally bad for all involved.

Now, I also strongly believe in the idea that software development is inherently an art form. The nuance is that within this art form, there are still very rigid conceptual frameworks you need to work with. For instance, designing the UI for any application is more-or-less a pure art form. Developing the SQL schema backing that UI is arguably something that is 100% deterministic and can have mathematical proofs established which prove its correctness one way or another.

The key to the success of any software project is blending these two worlds together in a sustainable and responsible way.
Perhaps Google can give themselves an "Ethics in AI" award, while they're at it.
It is so frustrating how many brilliant minds on either side are just wasted fighting this bullshit war and countless others like it for someone else's bonus check. There are so many hard engineering problems that need to be solved, and it's depressing how we as a society reward who can sell the most widgets instead of who can help the most people.
I view the AGPL as a nonfree license; I think more permissive licenses are better, because I believe in software freedom. Companies are right to avoid the AGPL.
Please consider that on HN you not only get to vent, but other people have to read it. Scrolling onto your comment felt like coming across a dog poo on a walk in the park. Nothing good about it. I looked at a few pages of your comment history, and too many of them are like that. I'm sorry you have so much anger... Thanks.
Is there a mail-based solution out there?

Kind of like a public mailbox that you send comments to, and articles get recompiled with the comments on a static blog.

Plus, it would be naturally threaded if your mailto: link includes a thread ID.
Open source is a business tool. There are many business models where open source can be useful. PG has such a vibrant user _and_ developer community that it pays to be a freelancer in that community and there's room for lots to play. SQLite3 is very much the opposite: it has _no_ developer community outside the core team, but the business model is the SQLite Consortium, which pays for the core team, and the closed-source test suite whose existence prevents hard forks.

It makes sense to use attractive-to-end-users licensing at first and later switch to a license that helps lock in support bucks. Call it bait-n-switch if you like, but even the SQLite folks did it, only they didn't do it with the _license_ but with the _test suite_ -- either way they made it really difficult to play in their space and/or fork.

The average age of a nurse (in the UK) is about 45.

Taking the average weight and height of an average woman (in the UK), and assuming the person is otherwise healthy, the risk of COVID hospitalization is 1 in 3000, and risk of death 1 in 66,000

This is from the UK's own data: https://www.qcovid.org/Calculation

There are 670,000 nurses in the UK, so if all of them got COVID, 223 of them would need hospitalisation, and 10 would die.

Admittedly this is a simple extrapolation and doesn't account for the risk to older nurses.

By contrast with a general population of 670,000 women in their 40-50s, about 1600 will die each year from any cause: http://www.bandolier.org.uk/booth/Risk/dyingage.html

I think it's even more amazing that Apple can get away with charging $1,300 in 2021 for a desktop with only 8GB RAM.

The desktop I built in 2013 had 32GB RAM and that entire thing cost me $500 or $600.
Rules? I'm sure, if you want to break some Guinness Book record, they have rules for ya, but I'd think most world travelers just want to see a lot of it or partake in cultural exchange. Those don't need rules to pick their destination or mode of transportation.

I've worked worked developers that have a hardline against ORMs. I see lot of their points, especially around the performance of raw SQL. But I cannot get past how much boilerplate code that has be written over and over again. And then you have to test that boilerplate code. I find that most people are far more productive using an ORMs. To me this makes sense because it's less things to type. Less is often more.

We have services that don't ORMs and I have to wonder if it's worth the cost.

I have an X3 and I find it unusable. No way to queue up a track to play next. No way to even find a track unless you already know the artist or album. Navigation way too slow, it can take 12 seconds between a button press and reaction from the device. This M3K gets good reviews but I am reluctant to buy another FiiO.

Very poorly polished stuff, to be honest. Before, they always seemed to take great care in making their core product (and the API for it) great. The only thing I can think of that was similarly unpolished was GitHub Enterprise.

Define your cloud infrastructure in code (python, typescript, other languages) and deploy it with ease. I think it beats other formats.
AGPL uses the wording "all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network".
When I discovered Linux, I bought a few Linux magazines - and realised that Linux Format (a monthly in the UK) seemed to carry over much of the same staff from Amiga Format. I had a weird sense of losing the party for a while and somehow chancing upon it again. That website is great, and weirdly the Amiga has come up a couple of times this week. One was marcan mentioning an X1000 driver which he's using for his asahilinux project, and another was re-discovering some Amiga games tunes that the author has commented on 25 years later on YouTube.

I feel that the AGPL actually reduces the software freedom in a misguided attempt to close the ASP "loophole", as if offering an API from a private fork is something to be prevented.

I am a proponent of software freedom, and resultantly I view the AGPL as nonfree.
I did not mean to say that open-source software (broadly, MIT-licensed) and free software (broadly, GPL-licensed) don't do well! They do, and I'm happy about it. Some have commercial entities around them, but most don't.

What I was trying to say is that FOSS was never about capturing commercial value, and always about capturing the value of the freedom to inspect, share, and tweak.

In this regard, going AGPL is preferable to what Mongo or Elastic did. They basically turned to commercial "source-available" offerings, much like mainframe software from 1970s.

There is one: a free market. Private schools don't have the luxury of doing studies forever; if their teaching is not effective, they go out of business. The ones who stay in business have a direct, quantitative measure of the effectiveness of their teachers: profit.

Unless they were making money based on their proprietary modifications to Grafana, Loki, or Tempo, they aren't affected much beyond being required to publish links to the source code.

If, however, they _were_ making money off of proprietary modifications, and they wanted to keep such modifications proprietary, they now have the choice to fork Grafana (and Loki and Tempo respectively) as of a pre-AGPL version.

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

If you have an iOS device you can control your AppleTV from the TV Remote. I didn't notice this until recently and I never use the physical remote now. When you are prompted to type you can use your iOS device to type in text. Very handy.

You can also control your AppleTV via Siri, but that's a bit more hit/miss depending on what you ask of course.
At that point, the only real advantage to 96khz is that it pushes any potential distortion out of the audible range.

But going above 96khz or DSD is silly outside of the recording studio.
Actually it goes straight back to the Apple TV remote without having to unlock. Not sure what the time limit is but it works after the device has gone to sleep and otherwise locked itself.
