> but the word "free" is loosely defined in open source world

The word "free" is well-defined in this context (I carefully used it in the phrase "free software"). A free software respects the 4 freedoms given in the free software definition [1]. You can run it for all purpose, study it, redistribute it, distribute your modified version.

Within the law, of course. Always. Licenses are restricted by the law.

> RHEL is open source, yet it is also proprietary

That's not possible because proprietary means "not open source" (as defined by the Open source Definition [2]). Or "not free" (as defined by the Free Software Definition).

Moreover, something is open source if and only if it's free software.

(save some anecdotal licenses that are considered open source by the OSI but not free by the FSF, but that's anecdotal and that's not relevant to RHEL).

It's exactly because RHEL is free software, or, said differently, open source, or said differently, not proprietary, that open source / free alternatives like AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux, their friends and formerly CentOS can exist, legally.

Note, open source ≠ source available (which is a necessary condition to open source but not sufficient).

> you have to strip out all references to Red Hat (trademark / copyright infringement)

Sure. That's trademark, and not related to copyright. Open source / free software licenses are related to copyright only. The licenses do offer you all the rights guaranteed by the definition of free software, of course you still have to respect the law by using those rights, including trademark.

Respecting licenses (based on copyright) and respecting brands / trademarks are two orthogonal dimensions of the matter.

You could tell me that see, you can't redistribute RHEL verbatim because of trademark so it's not free software. Wrong. It's right that you can't redistribute RHEL verbatim because of trademark, but that's not enforced by its FLOSS licenses. It's enforced by law (hence my mention of the "within the law" restriction earlier). It's subtle but important nonetheless.

Firefox has similar restrictions. Mozilla allows you to redistribute it under the Mozilla Firefox brand only if you don't patch it too much. Formerly, it was stricter than that, you could not redistribute it under the the Mozilla Firefox brand if you changed anything. GNU/Linux distributions could redistribute it as Firefox even though they patched it because Mozilla explicitly allowed them to do so. That's why Debian redistributed it as Iceweasel at some point, and now as Firefox again. They first decided that they didn't like needing an express authorization, and then Mozilla requirements were relaxed, ways of doing things changed, and using the trademark was fine again [3].

> RHEL is not free

It's not free as in gratis.

It is free as in libre / free software. It's certainly not proprietary. Except for proprietary software it has in its non-free repositories.

While a great achievement and very interesting article, the same can be said from many RTOS that offer POSIX compatibility.
Curious, do you tell him about your own struggles with it? It seems like that the both of you are learning it together, so what kind of reflections have you made with yourself, when you look at your son figuring it out?
There is no "public domain" in the EU. Did he cross-license it with CC0 or similar? Otherwise his works are still protected in the EU and he or his estate can still sue for copyright infringement.
So a minor inconvenience is a good reason to eliminate a method to combat what our media calls "settled science" of a phenomenon that is an existential threat to humanity?

Interesting.
> blindly dogmatic adherence

So then what's with the insistence (and multiple reminders) of self-labelling as "anarchist"? Why not pragmatist, or harm-reducer, or just not labelling or categorizing yourself at all?
> Definitely not "close to useless".

It lowers the risk a minimum amount (which makes it not useless, but close to it.) Your resources are limited, so you want to prioritize actions that have good cost:benefit ratio.

Re-encrypting disks is a significant effort (cost), effort that could be spent on something with better benefit. Should you spend a day encrypting a database or should you spend it on looking over publicly exposed S3 buckets? Ideally both, but resources are limited. Doing one action always means you're putting off something else.

I keep seeing this, and I'm confused every time I see it, because speech on a private platform isn't protected by the first amendment.

Ummm… yes it is when the speech is being suppressed by the government?

That’s kinda the entire point of the 1st amendment.

The courts have ruled that the government asking a private party to censor is no different than the government censoring itself.
I remember running some very large reports over multiple years of inventory movement. Disk access on the server was totally saturated for a good 20-30 minutes.

Thinking about it now, it had to have read out the entire database multiple times.

Oh yeah, these reports weren't processed on the server, either. The network link on the terminal I used would be pegged at the max rate the server could read from the disk. I never really figured out what that's about.

I guess it's trying to stream large chunks of the DB to the terminal and running the query locally? No clue.
It’s clearly not intended to compete with a smartphone. It’s 50 times the size and mains powered. It’s intended to be an always-on device with a wide camera and large screen that makes it easy for a few people to talk on video. Like video conferencing.

My family uses them so my parents can see my kids and they are great. We plop down on the floor in front of it and everyone has a chat, sees the kids, etc. propping up phones and straining to hear/see things is much inferior.

From the party's view, although e-commerce helped in driving down consumer prices despite sky-high inequality and property speculation (much to the party's plan and advantage), he should remain manageble and of use.

The principle is simple for any entity (and a wild west capitalism stint too), when the party need you, you give them your best, and when they don't, according to their grand plan, you must sacrifice without a word.

Nothing is more important than the safety of the party and the ruling class.
content homie
Precisely.

There is no issue with the FBI investigating crimes using the Twitter platform. I would hope that Twitter tells the FBI to “come back with a warrant” if they want non-public information.

But the FBI flagging content for removal. Including “disinformation”?

That goes well beyond the remit of the FBI and violates numerous norms of law enforcement influence over public speech.

A good analogy would be a debate club being held in a private bar and the police coming by and saying "yeah, that guy you invited to debate, you think you can "handle" that for us?".

It’s frankly shocking how many people on HN are like “meh…what’s the big deal?”
The tolerances are impressive. Not perfect. I had electric Lego parts as a kid, bought new in the late 80s, that had trouble fitting together. It was annoying at the time.

My kids have a lot of old Duplo. Unlike the Lego it has not aged well. The fit between parts is all over the place.
My home came with a solar panel and even before the change it's hard to see from a purely financial perspective why you'd do it. At least for what my house is set up with, unless I want to pay a huge sum to buy out my contract (and no longer get service if it breaks), I have to pay them by how much I generate and the savings seem pretty miniscule. It seems like it would take forever to make back your installation fee.
Come to Georgia. Quite a few people have 10-15 dogs. Even in suburban neighborhoods. I've subjectively seen more "pack of dogs" type people than "cat ladies".

Should never have joined the dumpster fire that is facebook. Dispicable company.
Totally different usecase. My elderly parents LOVE theirs - it's simple to make calls, the camera quality is great, the automatic pan and zoom was top notch (especially for following toddlers around the room, which was crucial to them to see their grandchildren during lockdown).

The story mode was much loved as well - my mother (an ex kindergarten teacher) would read the stories to my niece and nephew and they loved the AR effects and filters it applied to her, in tandem with the story.
Well, these rates were "reasonable" enough before that they were apparently not violating some superlegal principle.
> But the thing with anarchism is, that there is not really a authorative definition accepted and in use ..

Sure there is:

anarchism (n.)
"political doctrine advocating leaderlessness," 1640s; see anarchy + -ism.

anarchy (n.)
1530s, "absence of government," from French anarchie or directly from Medieval Latin anarchia, from Greek anarkhia "lack of a leader, the state of people without a government" (in Athens, used of the Year of Thirty Tyrants, 404 B.C., when there was no archon), abstract noun from anarkhos "rulerless," from an- "without" (see an- (1)) + arkhos "leader" (see archon).
There's also the ios to Android usecase.

> Based on the emails he posts, the agencies give links to review based on tips they receive or their own intel and twitter then decides if it violates ToS or not (and they sometimes did not act or simply temporarily suspended). But it's presented as a "deep state"-like collusion where the agencies control if twitter act on them or not.

This is an extension of the whole “Three Felonies a Day” idea: it’s likely any prolific account will violate Twitter Terms of Service at some point, so you can target almost anyone by looking hard enough.

And Twitter is likely to look harder at reports from the FBI than your average user, therefore the FBI has more influence over who they can silence. Maybe they’re abusing it, maybe they’re not, either way it feels improper at best.

We already have a large fusion reactor that wirelessly broadcasts across the planet on the order of 10,000x our global energy consumption.

We need a better distribution and storage network for the reactor we already have and we need to get a move on with that so any future smaller fusion reactors can be added to that network when such things arrive.
What case did they rule that? It seems pretty routine that they get in contact with newspapers for this purpose so I'd be at least a little surprised to learn that it's been ruled unconstitutional but they're just flagrantly doing it anyway.
For real. exactly why the govt is supposed to stay out of censorship.
Taiwanese local elections from 2022 [1] are an indications that there won't be any need for a full-scale Chinese invasion. China is patient and they'll keep on influencing politicians and citizens of Taiwan until they acquiesce to Chinese rule. America's hegemony is on its last legs and being a massive thorn in China's side will not that advantageous anymore to Taiwan. The odds are pretty high that Taiwan will avoid the faith of becoming another Ukraine.

> And that's not even assuming that the "waste" was recycled into usable fuel again creating a mostly closed loop fuel cycle

This is scifi. MOX has the fuel reused once to provide a small boost in efficiency after being reprocessed in an incredibly polluting weapons facility that needs an excuse to stay open and then the Pu240 still needs dealing with. And the "leftover uranium" is U238 not U235. There is no closed or "mostly closed" fuel cycle, it's just a shell game.

And your 40 grams doesn't include the 400 grams of non-radioactive heavy metal enrichment tailings, the 4kg of low level and non-radioactive waste and the 40kg of milling or leaching slurry that would come out of any new mine or half of the existing mines.

Then multiply that all by 5 for full decarbonization rather than just electricity.
The man is a product of his country. If you'd like to show me where Chinese workers make as much as they made working for Jack Ma, and for shorter hours, I'd be interested to see it. It doesn't exist.

The government in China, while marginalizing figures like Ma, have done nothing but encourage the status quo. At least Ma challenged it.

If the CCP had not liberalized 30-ish years ago, sure, we'd have no Jack Ma. But we'd have no modern China either, would we?

Clearly, we have a long way to go towards life being livable in a place like China for the average person.
Just because it's about a political figure doesn't make something not hate speech.

If someone drops an n-word at a state rep, does it become not hate speech? The answer is (obviously) that hate speech is still hate speech.
Don't worry: All corporate taxes are rolled onto the consumers. Inflation of the monetary supply is not the only government policy artificially inflating your cost of living.

Do such statutes even exist? I suspect the answer is no, and that the FBI is just engaging in extralegal, extrajudicial monkeyshines.

> If this information was never leaked then the people effected by the FBI’s secret speech suppression may never have known and would never had a chance to contest it in court.

From a certain point of view (which seems distressingly popular on HN lately) that’s considered a feature and not a bug.
It's not Informix-4GL, is it? If it is, the DB should be available via `dbaccess`. If you don't have that executable to verify, I imagine the binary files are probably of extensions `.4ge` and `.frm`. Then, the DB is likely a directory with the extension `.dbs`, that has a pair of files per table with the extensions `.dat` and `.idx`.

One of the fun things you can do is using the set of places API methods.

flickr.places.findByLatLon returns a placesId based on a supplied lat/long of somewhere you might be interested in.

You can then use that placeId to get photos around that location with a call to flickr.places.getChildrenWithPhotosPublic

Even more amusing is that you can get the actual shape co-ordinates for that place (for example the shape values or the polyline values of your local suburb or city).

I can tell you that I didn't expect to be able to access the shapefiles, bounding boxes and polylines for essentially every suburb I needed for a location based app I was building 10 years ago from a photo app API.
Yeah, but I’m sure most of those businesses would have done their due diligence on WeWorks financials before moving in.

Changing offices is an expensive exercise so they wouldn’t want to risk renting space from somewhere that is likely to go under in the next year or two.
Heartwarming, thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. :)
Certainly when you walk the street of San Fran today (while you are stepping over the junkies and dodging piles of human feces) the first thing that comes to mind is how great it worked out.

Not a very good refutation there sorry.

Also being a vegan is a luxury as far as I'm concerned. I've tried being a vegetarian and ultimately I just ate a bunch of cheese, eggs and whey protein so I stopped feeling hungry. I'm also a naughty boy for eating eggs, cheese and whey according to most vegans.

During my time as a vegetarian I ended up insanely depressed and had a lot of digestion issues, for the first time in my life, I don't know why but once I started consuming animal protein again, I felt like I had more energy and happier.

In the end I just realized this isn't my problem alone to solve. I didn't ask to be a person who really (IMO) needs to eat some meat to survive and be happy, nor did I ask to be born into a planet with 7+ billion people, who want to eat meat so factory farming was born.

The only way I can feel ok about eating meat is hunting it myself, or fishing however, I live in a country where having guns is naughty, and rivers are polluted near me so fishing is also dangerous.

I obviously tried to be a vegan because I want to be a more moral person but it didn't work out for me, I can't feel guilty for it anymore. So I just try to do the best with the energy I receive from eating meat, try to cook it and enjoy it as best I can, for now that's all I can do.

I think being be a v*<whatever> works for a slim segment of the population, and Californians (because it's one of the only places I know of where it's pretty easy to be a vegan, if you're rich) unfortunately.

Honestly, people who care about animals would be better off to lobby for livestock to have nicer lives rather than just telling people to stop eating meat, because it's not going away anytime soon.
I also used Ublock Origin to remove the "Bob is typing..." bit from underneath the text input box. I hate typing indicators.
I’m not sure if cheering an oppressive billionaire who got rich off being a borderline slave driver is a thing to do. A man who has more wealth than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes expects people to work 12 hours a day, six days a week to barely make a living so they can provide a more extravagant lifestyle for himself.

It's probably isn't actually helping him to be a slavedriver. It's unlikely you're getting your money worth making people work 12 hours six days a week.

Stronger labor laws will likely increase wealth generation and create a more powerful economic engine.

For all the bad things happening in China, attempting to crack down on a borderline comic book villain and spread a little of his wealth isn’t one of the things I can criticize them for.

Just because he's getting cracked down doesn't mean that the CCP is a good guy either. To me, it looked more like a consolidation of power, likely making inequality worse not better.
The South Koreans, and their "miracle", would like a word.
Its amazing that we have reached this point. Time was when grifting/scamming were condemned but now people glorify these grifters/scammers so much. Seems like all it matters in the end is how much they made and not the means nor the ethics.
That makes sense, paying for maintenance would be cheaper than rewriting everything then dumping it out five years (or even 10 years) later. Just make sure that everything can be pulled out before 2038 or else you'll need to rewrite everything.
Those don't apply as heavily to F# and OCaml as heavily though. F# and OCaml are much more practical than Haskell and much more strict than Lisp/Scheme/Racket, and so they sit in a very nice sweet spot of programming language design. The MLs, despite their influence on other languages, are the most overlooked and underused languages.

In F#, even for some DSLs, there's not much funny business at all. You have types and functions. I'm not as familiar with OCaml, but in F#, the only really confusing thing along the lines of DSLs or macros are computation expressions. But for the most part, you don't need them aside from the built-in `async` one.

"Kill Dash Nine" by Monzy is a rap song in which the artist compares himself to a computer programmer. The lyrics tell a story of a battle of words between the artist and a "fool" who is challenging him and boasting about his own skills. In computer lingo, kill dash nine is a shorthand way of saying "Kill Process 9" - a command that is used by a system administrator to end a task or process that is causing a problem on the system. In the song, Monzy is using this analogy to warn his audience that if they challenge him, they will be shut down. He is using his intelligence and technical knowledge as a way to prove his superiority, constantly reminding the other challenger that he is the one in control, and that if they step out of line, he will not hesitate to "kill dash nine" them.
