Agree. For those not familiar with Rich's famous use of etymology, see his 2011 presentation "Simple made Easy" as a good example:
https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/

Side question: Rich seems to use etymology as a tool for original thinking and clear explanations. Are there other people who do this as well as he does?

IMHO many of these US and EU comparisons don't pan out due to scale.

Switzerland is a small, wealthy and densely populated country compared to the US.

Utah alone is five times the size of Switzerland. Swiss GDP per capita is ~20% higher and most importantly, the population density of Switzerland is 213 people per sq km versus 34 in the US (and undoubtedly that number is even lower in Utah which has one of the lowest population densities in the US).

And those studies suggest that melatonin plays a critical part in your circadian rhythm, which kind of implies that adding it to your food would also screw with your circadian rhythm. That alone seems like a good enough reason to caution against adding it into the food supply.

Additionally, there are receptors for melatonin in a number of systems in the body, and we don't have much knowledge on what those receptors do.
I wouldn't be surprised, they were plain OTC 10mg pills but as I read in an article posted fairly recently on HN I learned that the required dose is often much, much smaller than that. My foray with melatonin was a few years ago and I'm not having trouble sleeping now so I haven't dipped my toes into it again.

Yeah. Another thing that changed during that period where Utah was deliberately sabotaging iProvo was a bunch of states made it illegal for a municipality to use debt financing for buildouts.

In another instance of politicians intentionally harming rural broadband, over in Tennessee, EPB was extending their fiber network to neighboring communities outside their electrical footprint that wanted it, and they made that illegal, too.
You can't possibly be from the Southwestern US. We're used to particularly brutal summers here, but this year has just been insane, unlike anything I've ever experienced (and, of course, we've had many "record breaking years" over the past 10-20 years). I already have plans to move north. Phoenix has been one of the fastest growing cities in the US - I definitely believe a lot of people are going to think twice about moving there now.

There are parts of the world that are already hitting wet-bulb temperatures that are lethal to humans. And this is all just the beginning.

The idea is that cancer cells have this mutant DNA clamp[0], which rallies DNA repair mechanisms in cells. The molecule targets the mutant clamp, disabling repair mechanisms for tumor cells but not healthy cells.

We all should hope that it has high specificity for the mutant PCNA, and doesn't affect healthy cells... clinical trials will investigate this.

>>Would the GPL prevent that employee from being fired and/or sued for violation of NDA?

That is not even close to being an analogy. In that case the Code, copyright, was not transferred to the employee, They are not operating under the conditions of the GPL at all. As an employee I am not given a "license" to the code as I would be as a customer or licensee of the code.

As such violation of the NDA would have nothing to do with the GPL at all.
> One could argue that implementing a first draft is a way of designing it. Which, I cannot imagine making sense unless you don't know what it is you want to end up with. Maybe if you're making computer games or other creative endeavors?

It's when the problem itself has some ambiguity. Like, I design systems that other people and systems use within a large company. I try to figure out how they'll use them, but even they can't tell me exactly. New business requirements come in mid-design, etc. They might even cancel the whole project if something more important comes along. In that situation, it's best to get some MVP as quickly as possible then iterate on it. Later iterations might totally scrap and rewrite the internals, which is fine if the API sticks.

and, the largest and most-profitable companies on Earth today have also enjoyed a luxury beyond the actual license obligations.

To "pile on" .. it is not that "the well is running dry".. rather it is an explicit business objective to restrict the distribution of SECURITY UPDATES and in a parallel move, require those security updates to continue to operate with money doing X-y-z. Its not secret.

Sure, and most miracle drugs don't pan out. Yet there is some reason to at least hope this is a little better than arsenic - it didn't kill the mice nor dogs, and there are various plausible sounding claims about toxicity made (to a non-expert, I just googled the various methods and showed the paper to cancer-researching friend that didn't immediately cry foul).

I mean, the track record of such drugs still suggests it'll likely not live up to the hype of the title here, but that's the point of further research, which does appear to be happening. It's quite likely there's some unforeseen limitation, but hey, we can always hope.
> However, that code ran the business for 12 years with almost 0 modifications

We have code like that, and it requires everything around it to twist and contort to comply with the beast of unmaintainable at the center of it all, simply because at this point it has so poor test coverage and is so incredibly mission critical now.
Don't cut yourself on that edge, bro.
I think it is exactly as intended. As a developer of an open source project, you are not required to give your source code and _any other derivative of that code_ to _all users_. You are only required to give _each_ user the source code for what has been distributed to them.

Any user is free to turn around and _redistribute_ or modify anything that has already been distributed to them. The user is not required to distribute modified derivative source back to the original developer, unless the user has distributed a running copy of the derivative.

The license says nothing about not being able to _charge_ users for the original executable software. It says nothing about guaranteeing delivery of executable derivatives made by the original author in perpetuity.

In this way, the incentives are aligned to:

1. Produce useful running software that is of the same scale of usefulness and complexity of things such as Chrome and Windows, because these complex software packages have enormous value and cost time and money to make and should be profitable for the maker.
2. Also produce useful running software that the user is allowed to fix or build new, useful derivatives upon through receiving the source. For which they can then charge. Doing so, the original author may decide to not deliver any further derivative executables to the user, meaning that the user is no longer entitled to source code. The user now bears the maintenance burden for their entire product -- which, when distributed, must come with a copy of the source.

I think this allows for users to generate their own commercial value streams from the originator while protecting the originator's ability to make money, and I think it is a good thing. Open source work need not be volunteer work. You want updates, you comply with the terms of the license. You want to make a derivative work for your own profit and redistribute it, fine, but you'll have to renegotiate the price for the originator's updates to get the updates and the corresponding source updates.

Sounds like an excellent way for open-source devs to actually get paid for maintenance work, IMHO. It need not be free as in beer to provide value, and freedom, to users.
I think Rocky's Linux propose solution of using AWS Instances is probably the best path. Unless RHEL wants to stop allowing RHEL Licensed Instances from being spun up by AWS Customers and instead having to have people "bring their own license" to AWS which would likely hurt their revenue far more than anything Rock or Alma would have
You are legally allowed to redistribute it but RedHat is not compelled to continue to have you as a customer.
Elevated CO2 concentration induces photosynthetic down-regulation ,,, [2019 ]
Disagree. Some people will run stuff in the cloud, yeah. Apple doesn't care about that topic afaict and it was just name-dropping. After the big fuck up of security quite recently, this will take another hit. And they will fuck it up again, because Microsoft isn't good with security (hi AD). So this won't stick. It also doesn't make any sense with computers getting better and better.
the people reading this are not the people making those decisions. Management uses this product as a required element in business contracts, those requirements include security updates. The security updates are not going to be available the day management stops paying. It is explicit.
The line between employed game developer and slave mod developer is becoming too thin

No, that's not a relevant concern. In the same way, Unicode sees no problem with assigning LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I (U+0049) and LATIN SMALL LETTER I (U+0069) to the glyphs of the Turkish alphabet that have those appearances, despite the fact that in Turkish they are two different letters. (And therefore capitalization has to be done by an algorithm that is aware of what language you want to do capitalization in.)

By contrast, GREEK CAPITAL LETTER A is U+0391, separate from LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A. There is no principled reason for this.

This might be handled via a secondary market in abandoned Red Hat licenses. Offer a nominal amount every few months for a Red Hat customer that's leaving Red Hat. Have them obtain the source, release it, and let their license expire. Talk to someone who liquidates the IP of failed startups. "Localliquidators.com" is in that business. They probably have some license rights available.

Somebody should do this at least once.
OpenWall is a highly-respected security research and hacking project from the early 2000s. This group was responsible for revealing numerous 0days during the chaotic days of the early Web, as well as developing exploit mitigation techniques. These days it's mainly known for hosting security-related mailing lists such as oss-security and kernel-hardening, widely read by security researchers and kernel developers.

The name is more than appropriate. It's not the developer of Mozilla VPN.

> I was curious how one gamifies the printed page, and it turns out this article isn't so much about books as it is social media.

I've a little exposure to gamified reading: Last year my girlfriend got sucked in to some reading app (from an ad on fb or ig), the gist being that it serves up chapters of (apparently) never ending romance novels, specifically crafted to drag the reader in and end each chapter on cliffhangers of one form or another to entice them to get the next chapter and continue. Naturally, it functions on in-app currency and gives you a certain number of tokens up front before you have to start paying in. And yes, she shoveled a good amount of money into it to gobble down chapter after chapter.

> And more importantly, what guarantees about rights and quality of life do unfrozen people think they’re going to have? The correct answer should be: none.

As if you were advocating that - the "should be" threw me off. If we're just asking "what rights do we expect people to have" idk, I wouldn't speculate.
Depends on who, I've seen an aquihire for around 7 engs with pedigree go for around 30 million. Now that company had taken on around 20m in VC and had developed a product... but that product was immediately thrown away by the acquiring company and the devs assigned to existing work.
The psychology of knowing ahead of time you'll delete all the code is interesting. Devs would be in hack-hack-hack mode and not worry about design - the goal is just explore all the territory to find the hilly parts and landmines. Move as quickly as possible and report back.

In general I think developers value their code too much and should be willing to scrap and rewrite, especially whenever requirements are changing. I chalk it up to everyone's desire to conserve mental energies due to not understanding what their energy peak/limits are.

No, you can redistribute it. RedHat can't stop you.

But you might only be able to do this once. Because what RedHat can do is cancel your contract, and stop you from using RedHat services, and you won't have access to future versions or updates.

Most of AWS is "pointless" in the sense that all you need to be able to do is define VPCs and rent EC2 instances and deploy open source software on those instances to accomplish the same thing.

The cost that Amazon charges for all the extraneous services is priced exactly at the point where someone would rather pay those costs rather than pay developers to go implement them on EC2s.

How we inadvertently made the fastest Internet access [video]
I basically never use the F keys as F keys: when I am using an Apple keyboard they default to media keys and similar stuff, which I do use. On my new keyboard I have bound (for example) fn+plus and fn+minus to adjust the volume - plus and minus are directly under the volume keys on my laptop.

The delete key deletes left when pressed by itself, or right when pressed with fn, same as Apple keyboards. Or use ctrl-d, which works in bash and emacs and all over macOS.

I have configured the macro keys to move windows to predetermined places, which is something I need far more frequently than the 39 extra keys on a full-sized keyboard.
Anyone know the subtext? What is the $44 billion dollar mistake the author is referring to?
I feel it's also because programming has this quality to it, which is similar to some other creative arts, where it is deceptively hard. On the surface it's just knowing some rules and then writing some code, but as you gain more experience new paradigms expand and reveal the infinite potential of information processing. It's like knowing how to use Photoshop and thinking you can be a designer, but then after trying it out, realize there are so many subtle layers that build up to the final product, and each layer is its own universe to be explored.
What customers have bought is a support contract, which includes distribution of software under the GPL.

What Red Hat is threatening to do is to stop allowing customers to renew the support contract, and stop allowing customers from buying a new support contract.

The GPL does not (outside of a couple of small details for how to get access to the source) require a software distributor to provide continuing services.

Otherwise you get into all sorts of strange cases, like Alice and Bob are friends working on a GPL project, Bob sends a copy to Eve, who collaborates with Bob. But Alice hates Eve, so stops working with Bob on the project.

The GPL does not prevent that sort of retaliation for redistributing software. If it does, where? Why should forcing continued collaboration be part of freedoms of the GPL?

Switching away from the analogy, where does the GPL say there's a difference if money is involved?
This is nothing new and it's perfectly compliant with GPLv2.

In many RAMs, if you read and write to the same address on the same edge, the read returns the old RAM contents, not the new one. So you have to bypass the RAM- you add a mux and a register to use the new data instead of the old if the addresses happened to be the same. In FPGAs, this bypass logic is sometimes automatically generated, depending on the coding style you used for inferred RAM.

This is in addition to bypassing the ALU stage.

So the computer architecture question is whether or not massive amounts of bypassing (with resulting slower fMAX) is worth it, vs. stalling. You need a representative test suite to answer this.
