Thanks. The question was meant more rhetorically, since lawyers (I also studied law) usually have a hard time with OSS licenses, and many developers make assumptions that often don't match reality. A seemingly "well accepted" assumption often turns out to be a costly mistake. I therefore share your recommendation: tread cautiously.
Well, it's at least a controversial opinion even if it also maintains popularity. People seem to rag on Electron apps all the time on HN due to their inefficient usage of computing resources. However, they are an optimal use of developer resources, which are far more constrained for the average project.
Mixing an mRNA vaccine with a booster like J&J seems to give much better, lasting T cell protection.

That’s not been my experience, and I’ve lived with dozens of cats. Currently we have three cats, siblings. They were found orphaned, a few days old, and raised bottle-fed by humans. They never had a cat mother. All three of them regularly delivery rodents to the house as gifts.
Stop being a Luddite. That’s how technology works. First it’s available to only the super rich because it is expensive, then over time with advances and improvement or production it becomes more widely available. It’s cell therapy, it will inevitable end up becoming cheap.
Actually the most recent comment is dated 02/07/2020 -- which I think is pretty good for an operating system that is 40 years old about.
The honest answer is: it does not matter. Great products have been built on very diverse tech stacks. Million dollar businesses have been built on a single VPS running PHP, without version control.

It's about finding a problem to properly solve, not about the tech stack.

> Nearly all of the early open-source software that made the internet possible was produced in universities.

Well... BSD unix was. Unix itself was Bell Labs, the original TCP/IP spec was done by DARPA contractors (mostly BBN). HTTP was CERN but the breakthrough "browser" product was venture funded. GNU was a private organization, though RMS's office was provided by MIT for years and years. Linux obviously was an established community effort long before anyone with deep pockets showed up. Post-90's "corporate" open source has emerged basically everywhere, with Google and Intel being big early players (Facebook and Microsoft have been late to the game but done very well for themselves too).

I think if anything what this proves is that "Open Source" is going to pop up basically anywhere it's allowed to, and that any pronouncements about where it "really" came from are probably not informative.

This implies that the issue is due to being open source. The majority of closed source software, especially in house software, has minimal or nonexistent documentation. If there is any, it was likely done once at the start of the project and never updated since.

I've been a consultant for over 10 years. I always make sure to ask for access to any documentation for systems I'll be working on. I think I've gotten significant (out of date) documentation maybe once. This isn't an issue stemming from being open source.

The reason inflation isn’t applied equally everywhere is called the Cantillon Effect. Here are the details https://azizonomics.com/2012/08/07/the-cantillon-effect/

For a given level of money velocity, what other factors cause inflation - other than money printing? Clearly money printing is the most obvious cause of artificial manipulation of the money supply and in my understanding the primary cause of inflation. What am I missing?

If you genuinely thought they were driving dangerously, then isn't it better to report it than to not? It's not really your fault that Uber's internal culture is so toxic. On the other hand, your choice to use Uber supports them. On the third hand, traditional taxi services often deliver exceptionally worse service, so what is someone to do?

Regarding the driver's livelihood, it seems to me like you should not worry so much about the choice of clicking a button in an app on your phone. For one thing, the driver probably isn't actually on the edge of ruin, and if they are it was due to a sequence of events that started long before you got into their car. If that's not the case, and Uber's in-app rating system is indeed a life destroyer, then at the very least maybe you should uninstall that app immediately, give the app itself a 1 star rating, and not associate yourself with Uber in the future, even at the cost of your own personal inconvenience? Would you ride in a taxi cab that included a loaded revolver in the back seat next to a sign that read, "satisfaction guaranteed, no questions asked"?
Given that so much of building anything new and delivering it in a timeframe that is useful is risk management, I think that's the right place to start. Especially at a company where the risks of Python are mostly known and the risks of lisp are mostly not.
I suppose it's better than strychnine in that there is a chance for antidote. But that presumes there is the time/knowledge to apply the antidote for the pet. And of course that won't help with wild animals or "utility pets" like barn cats.

I'm not sure why the metal phosphide class isn't more popular in America. They hydrolyze in the stomach to produce toxic phosphine gas, which doesn't persist. Seems to be used in conjunction with SGARs but not as a first-line.

Alex Jones was right again.
For getting the business off the ground - there's often a build vs buy question.

My rule of thumb is buy for generic build for core.

For SaaS/web app aspects? For me, probably a flavor of the PETAL stack i.e. Postgres/MySQL + Phoenix + Liveview + Tailwind. My core is usually some kind of state machine modeled in boring structs and functions. No frameworks - no libraries if I can help it. Pure as possible when possible for core components.

Buy over build (No code / Low code / SaaS / Spreadsheets / CRMS / etc) if its generic and not a core concern. Lead management, a lot of Sales, marketing and case/customer service ticketing concerns in a lot of businesses are often good candidates for buying over building.

Never buy if the software is a core business capability - write that code yourself if you can. You can avoid a lot of maintenance risk over time this way.

The worst case scenario is you ship quickly and don't find a product market fit, so ship quickly for that feedback.

The next worst case scenario is you found a fit but your core business capability is tied to a third party tool you don't control and it starts getting in the way.

No API? Don't buy. No real-time API in 2021? Probably don't buy. There's good low-code tools but there are also predatory SaaS tools out there that can enact suffering and delays to your business, so weigh that decision carefully.
This is a reason why many companies still avoid using OSS altogether.

Not sure about browser vendors and their stack. I almost never hear of anyone who develops on a browser vendor's stack, they use 3rd party tools in JS and CSS and webasm etc ... After Node wrapped up the DOM and put a bow on it, it seems that people move on (up? down? sideways?) from webdev at that level (except the people developing alternatives to Node).

Its not. Its major disaster.

What else could it be, when you punish regular payers because some of the people use hacked version (and without it, they wouldn't pay it nevertheless, so hack is net positive for the company).

If I pay $60 for the game, I don't expect all kind of semi-malware shit installed on my computer, slowing it down even when I don't play the game, making it buggy and yet still having next to 0 effect on hacking groups. Its just madness.

To prevent theft from "regular people" because its easy, you have different much better and 0 intrusion methods to achieve that.

A neighbor-kid found our cat, Ziggy, in the grass early in the morning. Ziggy was in a terrible state. Soaked (it was raining), shaking, full on hypothermia, foam on his mouth and terrified - apparently he was conscious of his surroundings still, but could not move.

Brought him to the emergency vet. Made it. But barely. Vet thought he wasn't, but we asked to try anyway. They give the cat loads of greasy puree. Rat and mouse-poison binds to that. Cost us an arm and a leg; something I thought I'd never do for an animal. But stress and full on "sunken cost fallacy - we already drove all the way, might as wel...". He made it, which makes it worth it in the end though.

Emailed all neighbors not to do this. We live in a nature-reserve, so with all the hawks, storks, buzzards, badgers and minks, it really is unacceptable. Two neighbors confined that they got some poison illegally (this is The Netherlands where no such poisons may be sold to consumers) on the internet, unaware of the risks, and harm to animals.

Me: "you were unaware of the harm that a poison for animals, does to animals?"

In general, society has problems with monetization of valuable things. It's not only the case with FOSS, it's also holds true with science and a long term not quarterly counted products development. Sadly vile entertainment and advertising is perfectly monetized.

Thermoelectric generators convert heat to electricity, but heat is generally the point of these stoves. In the end it’s almost guaranteed to burn more wood either because you get less heat or because you want more electricity. “b)” is therefore cleaner because of thermodynamics Aka a lack of free energy

“environmental impact” is just one of many impacts. If burning wood means you die 20 years sooner that’s likely more relevant to you than just about anything else. Of course other people you don’t know dying 20 years sooner is rarely a concern, thus different priorities.
> In recent decades, this question has been settled so thoroughly that an anti-incorporation stance is a radical reinterpretation of the relationship between the federal and state governments.

And here we are.

Many of the things we see as status quo were originally radical changes. If this tendency toward decentralization persists over the next 50 years a move back toward centrality will be considered radical too.

There's a natural predator in cities whose habitat is "your couch."

But people say that allowing cats to be "outdoor cats" is a bad thing.

(Cats do hunt a bunch of species that aren't going to try to enter your house, and may in fact be endangered. But then... so would owls, hawks, and snakes living in the same areas. My point isn't so much that having cats outdoors is good; but rather that we should apply the same standard to having any of these other predatory species in our neighbourhoods that we do for cats.)
> Feynman's fascination with basically everything is always so fun. Here is another, where he is talking about trying to figure out why ice is slippery...

As a result of previous leaders of California teachers’ unions choosing to risk receiving higher benefits from the state of California (which cannot print USD, exposing benefit recipients to more risk) rather than the benefits that come from the federal government (which can print USD and always make good on its promise, minimizing benefit recipients’ risk).

In this scheme, earlier generations of California teachers will make out great. Latter generations of California teachers will suffer. The typical result of DB pension schemes.

If I may ask, what company pays you to develop D, and is it a good place to work? I just had a look at the D language jobs page, and although a couple of the entries looked promising (like the one investment company), the majority (same as for any other programming language) were completely uninteresting, or were the usual toxic, woke companies using horrible software stacks that I prefer to stay far away from. Frankly, the idea of even looking for a programming job in this day and age, or any job at all, having to put in hundreds of applications to fake job listings, going through dozens of interviews only to be rejected, leetcode, being harshly judged on every little thing, fills me with despair. It's a terrible time to be alive.

They wrote code essentially willing to run exec on any string passed to it, enabled this feature by default, and then didn't loudly warn people that any string passed to log4j must be trusted. None of this is competent work.
This sort of thing should be required reading by everyone who interacts with open source software.

So many folks come in with a chip on their shoulder, missing the forest for the trees. If every developer modeled themselves after Tatham's attitude, we probably wouldn't be having most of these conversations around open source right now. And issue trackers might be a more peaceful place.
