I'm not going to analyze if this is illegal or not (I don't think it is). It has been discussed elsewhere already.

But even if it where illegal, the only people in a position to sue would be the contributors of the upstream projects that get packaged into RHEL. And I don't see anyone having the appetite for that.

I contribute a lot to QEMU and there I'm practically working side-by-side with redhat devs. They contribute so much (maintainership, code review, testing infrastructure and much more), suing them wouldn't occur to me in the slightest.
If you are worried that a pedestrian might step in front of your car, then the onus is upon you to drive even slower than you already are. The speed limit is a maximum in urban environments. You're free to go slower, if that's what's required, and by your own admission it seems to be.

The sign was specifically for the cleaner, explaining the problem, plus instructing them not to clean the area. It also told them how to mute the alarm sound if it was annoying.

In hind sight it would have been better to pre-contact the cleaning company and make sure the cleaner in question understood the situation.

But that's only from knowing after the fact that the cleaner was hmmm... a friggin idiot. ;)

That's because if a bad actor was given the opportunity to make a lot of money doing the worst possible thing they could do with something someone will do that thing eventually 100% of the time, no exceptions. This isn't even an "Only siths deal in absolutes" scenario either.

There are plenty of people in the world who will do anything in this world for money, power, wealth, and control over people and they don't care who they hurt in the process of achieving that goal.
> and apparently (for a reason I don't fully understand) landlords felt it better to have spaces remain vacant than to lower rents.

As I understand it (but I'm not sure how applicable this is to any specific place), landlords can write down a loss set by either the last rent they received or the market rate in the neighborhood. If those losses are offset by gains elsewhere, they can zero their tax bill -- which, for landlords with diversified holdings, may be very large.
> People liked the idea of citing in their car and letting someone else do the work.

I like that idea too. But I don't like the idea of forcing a human to do the work. I like the idea of legislating for standardized interfaces between gas pumps and gas doors on cars, such that it becomes possible to build "full service" robot gas stations.

I think the only reason this hasn't been pushed for, is that the automotive-sector companies with the robotics expertise are all electric-car companies. (Or hydrogen-fuel-cell car companies — lotta robotics people in that space.)
Also looks like the perceived risk is too low. In other countries, ignoring a stop sign (or red traffic light) can cost you your drivers licence fairly quickly, if the police notices it. So there are lots of cameras that 24/7 get the reckless drivers. And driving without readable plates is also not a small thing that gets handwaived.

But the rules only help you so far, you need the execution (iE: police on the streets that actually performs their duties). Might not be as glorious as stopping a shooter, but ensuring smooth traffic literally also saves lives.
For the enterprise saas business we built, vc duedil was talking to customers, both directly via our introductions and backchanneled via their network.

For the technical aspects, our vcs didn't / don't care. That's our job to figure out, and if we don't, they fire founders.

I'm honestly not sure how you would seriously audit chat app numbers, and I suspect and hope Abraham Shafi is going to prison. For most businesses, if you have to seriously audit things like that, you probably shouldn't be investing. A company inflating their numbers by 20x will be pretty hard to detect, and our safeguard as an industry is that's fraud, and people go to prison for committing fraud.
They turned off a circuit breaker, that sounds like there is definitely room for backup battery there.

I havent seen a single server or workstation running rhel in the data science field, the most used distro in ds already was ubuntu and with the launch of pro covering the universe repository for security updates, I cant understand why redhat is making this move, cant see the endgame.
exactly. now the university and the insurance companies will spend more on lawyers than purported damages just to find out that they are fault for being just as negligent and that the actual value of the samples was only in $10K - $100K range - you can't just claim what you think they were "worth" to you. everybody looses, except the lawyers in this one.

you don't plug cryo-freezer with a tiny valid temp. range into the standard outlet with no UPS, put up a bunch of signs ("please don't unplug") and no monitoring.

sounds like the samples were worth exactly the same value as the contents of that shared fridge at work, which is also apparently a 20 year science project, and uses the exact same security system.
Virgin Galactic announces date, crew for first commercial SpaceShipTwo flight
We had a longstanding regime and precedent for how bank defaults would be handled. Anyone with treasury experience knows about insurance limits and accordant risks.

Then the venture capital industry and startups decided to ignore these risks and put massive amounts in one bank.

Then they were made whole at 100 cents on the dollar, when it probably would have ended up at 85 cents on the dollar on the amount over $250k the other way. This is pretty much the definition of moral hazard: why diversify banking now?

(Of course, I've always thought that the government should have come in with a dividend of 70 cents of deposits really quickly, to allow everyone to keep operating and reduce uncertainty).

My employer (a nonprofit that I care about) banked with SVB; so my personal interests are not aligned with what I believe and what I'm arguing.
Two thoughts:

> The process of replicating RHEL is so much easier today than ever before.

Doing so bug-for-bug requires more effort than it did a few weeks ago. And they're basically doing that work in parallel with Red Hat itself (duplication of effort).

Also, making a change like this (forcing Rocky and AlmaLinux to change in the middle of the 9.x release cycle), when the previous change (killing CentOS) was _also_ in the middle of the 8.x release cycle, with not even 24 hours warning... makes me feel this change was not _only_ made "to make CentOS and RHEL development better."

If that were the case, the changes would be announced with at _least_ weeks (if not months) of warning, so the community could plan for it instead of getting blind-sided... now twice in a row.

I agree, I think another part of it is accessibility to tools and content. Same thing happens with gaming to an extent, when tools became more accessible, so did the content, but the quality dropped significantly, even among AAA games.

I think music suffers even more so because we're all so tuned into having the best at our fingertips that if a single moment in a song isn't to our liking we can skip and forget about it completely - i think this fuels the fast-short song market, easier to saturate with many short songs and get listens rather than to work/slave on a longer more intricate piece.

Back in the day, mixtapes with songs were slaved on and cherished, today slaving over something is seen as a negative quality.
Yep. And C and C++ now have a hexfloat format that lets you write a float exactly in terms of the mantissa and exponent. For the value `8.0`, you can write it as `0x1p3`. (It's kind of weird in that the unbiased exponent is in decimal while the mantissa is in hex, so `1024.0` could be written `0x1p10`.)

The printf/scanf specifier, by the way, is `%a`.
If you don't mind, what makes more niche hardware drivers work / build better against RHEL?

I suppose RHEL uses basically the same kernel, with patches that don't alter its interface too substantially. So I presume that a driver in source form, or even partly in binary blob form, should build and work approximately equally well with any stock kernel.

Beside the driver developers apparently using RHEL / CentOS (so on them the drivers are known to work), what am I missing?

It'd be interesting to know why they failed. I have to admit I got burnt a bit because we started to integrate with Koncrete and then they were out (and we've had to move away).

> Oh jeez. Most people in Oregon live in Portland, across the river from Washington, and have pumped their own gas many times.

I've never compared gas prices in Portland and Washington, but I'd expect them to be higher in Washington.

1. Washington has sales tax. Oregon does not. Washington will return that tax if the Oregonian keeps their receipt and files for a refund with the Washington Department of Revenue (it used to be that they could show Oregon ID at the time of purchase and the retailer would not collect the tax, but that changed in 2020.

2. Washington gas taxes are $0.11/gallon higher than Oregon gas taxes.

I'd thus expect Oregonians to try to avoid gassing up in Washington, and generally only do so when they are going to be going somewhere in Washington far enough from Oregon that they have to gas up there.
It’s crazy that this is unreasonable. The Louisiana law just brings cyberspace and meatspace into alignment. You already need to verify your age to access adult spaces in the real world. If the porn industry actually made any good faith attempts to prevent access to their materials by children, like any topless bar would for fear of getting shut down, the law wouldn’t be necessary. But instead they take the opposite approach. And the content in the former is vastly more extreme.
Let me preface this by saying, Jeff owes Red Hat nothing and he's free to stop "supporting" RHEL for any or no reason at all.

That said, "grab a copy of Linux" seriously, gloriously, hilariously handwaves away so many things that Red Hat does to create a RHEL release.

Red Hat pulls together hundreds or thousands of upstreams to create RHEL, participates in many of them, tests all that together, helps partners certify software against it, etc. etc. etc.

It's true, Red Hat doesn't "own" the Linux kernel, but it's done a ton to help develop it over the years. But RHEL is not merely the kernel nor any single upstream. RHEL is a product that comprises thousands of packages all tested together and then released as a supported product.

What Red Hat is trying to guard is not the source code to any single or even groups of projects. It's trying to preserve and capture the value it created from all those parts. Coincidentally, that value is what businesses, competitors, and the community are clamoring for and not the source code alone.

They want that single point-in-time snapshot that everybody agrees on as a de facto standard because the overall community has never been able to agree on another workable standard that would allow targeting applications across the board. And that standard has a name, and it's RHEL. And it belongs to Red Hat.

You can have all the pieces and assemble them yourselves if you like. But nobody is entitled to certify it as (officially or unofficially) RHEL except Red Hat.

If that angers you, I heartily encourage folks to build Debian up as the standard we all certify against. Or start your own business that overtakes Red Hat and earns the place RHEL has today.

Mark Shuttleworth took potshots at Red Hat's business model with RHEL for years, and it seems to me that they're doing a very similar thing now with Ubuntu Pro by holding back updates to packages after 5 years and charging for updates to the Universe and Main repos.
The Echo Nest was really cool... they got bought my Spotify and some of the Echo Nest APIs made it into Spotify I believe: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/referenc...
And then you no longer have control over the fonts you are using, and it’s worse if you want to write cross platform code. Web and iOS (as far as I can tell), don’t have any way of querying which fonts actually end up getting used to lay out text either, which makes rendering some entered text very difficult.

I will probably end up having to ship entire text layout, font handling, and itemization stack in my wok just to do this correctly. It’s pretty frustrating down in the weeds of it.

FWIW, I think you're mixing eggs up with source distributions ("sdists"): eggs are much closer to wheels in that they're a "built" copy of the package rather than a collection of source that requires dynamic code execution for metadata generation.

The main reason they're being removed is because, unlike wheels, they were never really standardized and have effectively been a vestige of the packaging ecosystem since ~2016.
The README on GitHub says:

> If your company is creating a closed source OAuth provider, it is strongly suggested that your company purchasing a commercial license.

And the text in the LICENSE file is a bog-standard BSD license, which doesn't say anything about not being able to use it for commercial purposes.

So it looks like they're relying on companies paying for support, or out of goodwill (or confusion), rather than because of any legal obligation.

This is a thing I saw a lot when growing up in Toronto. It's bizarre to go to something like a BBQ at your friend's house and they'll introduce you to someone like their grandma who only speaks Portuguese or Mandarin but your friend only speaks English. Often times it's the middle generation that is bilingual because they were raised in their native language at home but they aren't confident enough to do the same with their own children, or they married outside of their culture so only one of the parents knows the language and it doesn't get passed on.

Just about every sysadmin I worked with thought in /24s. A lot of people are used to deploying the Linksys home routers and can't think about subnets or supernets. It used to blow peoples minds when they would get a .0 or .255 address because I had them on a /22 or /23. Even the last network engineer I replaced had multiple /24s all over the place across our WAN. I couldn't summarize routes because he didn't use sequential subnets, just random ones all over the place. Drove me nuts.

Not only is this unfairly flagged, but I can't vouch for it for some reason.

Is this because I vouched for an article last week?
That's just a return to the status-quo, which led to where we are. Giving advice of "don't be an asshole" didn't work because people made it their identity. Switching the advice to "don't make being an asshole part of your identity" is at least an attempt to change tack and address the weakness of only targeting behavior.

Drugs like haloperidol don’t have a story as good as the SSRI or NSRI antidepressants but they can be life saving for many people. Some of the people who are completely out of sorts and in the streets would have an easier time getting housed if they got the right medication.

I had an aunt who suffered from bipolar disorder who struggled to find the right medication and finally did, when she would quit taking medication her mind would start racing and she’d threaten to commit suicide.

I also know a teen who came from a troubled family. His dad committed suicide and his mom died of complications of COVID-19 and Type I diabetes. Fortunately he was taken in by his grandparents and gotten a lot of help from a youth group affiliated with his church, the school system, etc. Still it has taken expert psychiatric help to find meds that stabilize his condition and stop him from harming himself.

People generally don’t like antipsychotic drugs. It may take quite a few visits to the psychiatrist to find something that really works and has minimal side effects, but my first take is a depot injection of a typical antipsychotic is the right thing for many people in a mental health crisis.
From my original comment, "cross-platform UI toolkit that is easy to use, has all the accessibility features of the browser built in, and has a UI control toolkit as rich as say mui.com ... Support SVG as well as stylized layout similar to html+css"

IME, azure has higher adoption once there is a CIO in the company.

However, in the Argonaut context, that only limits the overall infra management piece where we don't have a seamless integration using IAM roles and can't provision infra like dbs and queues.
The app deployments to Azure kubernetes (or any k8s cluster) work seamlessly though, and some of our customers deploy to AKS in this manner.
