On the one hand this is true, however there's another side to this that makes it quite compelling.

IT sign-off and buying new IT services is hard in many large businesses. This means that it's almost always worth using a built-in feature of software you already have, than going for external software. Add to this the fact that companies almost never have one company account, each team re-buys the same software because services are hard, and the fact that most companies already use DocuSign matters a bit less.

Much of Slack's growth has been built on this[^1]. You can sign up for a free account and start inviting your immediate team. Paying for a small team is well under the typical auto-approved expenses limit, and when you've sunk your cost, got a bunch of people onboard, and proved the value, only then do you go to IT to get it rolled out across the business.

Individuals using this sort of thing, termed "shadow IT", is a good way to grow usage. This feature of docs seems well positioned to grow that way even if DocuSign is available.

[^1]: I worked on a team that was required by the business to use MS Teams. While we waited for the Teams workspace to be provisioned and all the authentication crap to be sorted out we signed up for Slack, invited everyone, and got work done for the 6 months it took to get a working Teams workspace.
That's fair, I'm not saying it's their daily persona. It is what happens when family try to intervene. I agree it may not be the same for every individual

I wonder how this affects Pulumi
I take it a relative risk of 1 is a null result?

If so a confidence interval of 1.02 to 2.2 after arbitrarily excluding some data is not exactly ground breaking.
Off topic but your comment makes me think of Nick Drake. He died at 26, before even knowing he'd achieved anything, his music barely listened to, probably feeling a failure. Posthumously he's one of the world's most acclaimed recording artists.

how this works from the point of view of current license? They can't just take MPL code and modify license terms in my reading of FAQ (Q9 in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/)?..

> Like, has anyone of any significance used a Hashicorp product to meaningfully compete with Hashicorp?

Just because nobody has tried yet doesn’t mean that it won’t ever happen. Companies are doing this precisely because companies like Amazon abuse FOSS licenses to stand up their own hosted versions of open source projects.
Dunno about others, but I always ask myself where these companies would be if their software was under non free license from the start.

This is hostile to end users, small people an companies, not just big megacorps wanting the "steal" the code and run it as a service. Be successful in running and using Hashicorp's software, and they decide to shut you down if you are deemed a competitor.

Abusing the spirit of open source, what? If somebody doesn't want any competitors they should have read the licenses and understood them, and not simply used open source as a buzzword for marketing purposes.

It's hyperbolic for humor, the main point is after the <hr/>

"On a more serious note, I think we should stop loving the tools and start loving the act of slaying problems. In any profitable monetized project, there is a very human customer pain that is worth addressing. We should care about the bigger human pain, and work towards reducing it.

I'm not a fan of blindly updating; I'd rather read the changelogs and decide if I need to update or not, but I sort of understand the utility of it. Most testing happens against the latest release version or HEAD in version control. If the version you're running has different behavior than those two versions and the change wasn't well documented, and the behavior in your version is problematic, it's not likely that other people will discuss it and call your attention to it. Even if people run into that bug, they may just update and move on, rather than post about it being broken.

Depending on the project, and the changes involved, sometimes it's beneficial to upgrade frequently and make required integration changes in small increments rather than say once a year with a big change. Sometimes, it's much worse to follow the changes; some projects churn a lot and integration changes are kind of fixed per release, letting releases pile up means less overall work in that case.

Also, if you get support from upstream (which IMHO is a big if), they'll tend to prefer for you to be working on a current version. You tend not to get much support when you're running older versions. OTOH, I'm not used to having a support workflow. It's often too hard to engage with external developers, so either the external software works, or you make changes so it works, without discussing with upstream.
I also work on open source full time. I personally am happy to give my work away unconditionally to both freeloaders and contributors and fortunately my employer feels the same way (I am often a freeloader myself on unrelated projects).

Ideally your moneymaker can compete on its own without being dependent upon gatekeeping how the open source part is used. But with project ownership means you can change the rules for your competitors, but it's also a sign that you fear your offering is not competitive enough without the rule change.
Honestly I'd just ask if they'd like to talk about whatever "small talk" topic I'd want to know more about. To me it seems like a fair way to ask if they're open to conversation and then ask specifically about what I'd like to know. If they'd rather not talk I wouldn't be offended (though I'd probably be a bit disappointed for a little bit).

Assuming this is re: the article about the Finns you posted. I understand the logic behind not wanting to bother people as I do that myself, so I wouldn't want to force someone to chat if they don't want to.
> As soon as I read "programmable", I'm off. I just prefer fixed-function editor that suits my taste

I never have to "program" Vim apart from set nocompatible, set ruler, backspace, indentation and maybe pick another colorscheme from the defaults (usually torte).

On neovim I installed lightline and pathogen, monokai colorscheme and something else I forgot about, maybe syntax highlighting for some more exotic language.

The point is Vim is a fixed function editor until you start loading it up like a xmas tree.
All that I get from this is that HashiCorp is no longer an open source company.

> However, there are other vendors who take advantage of pure OSS models, and the community work on OSS projects, for their own commercial goals, without providing material contributions back. We don’t believe this is in the spirit of open source.

This is 100% in the spirit of open source. If this is a problem for them, why not adopt an open source license that compels developers to open source their code instead, like the AGPL?

This is purely a way for HashiCorp to ensure they are the only ones who can commercialize these formerly open source projects. Which is fine. But just go closed source, then, and own that, instead of trying to have it both ways.

I haven't looked to see what licenses are involved, but Pulumi makes liberal use of Terraform providers[1]. And I would definitely consider them to be a Hashicorp competitor.

The article was pretty sparse on how it was done technically and the video completely skips over it. It just shows slow motion of it working but (and I skipped around a tiny bit but I think I got all the actual talking, there is only so much slow motion of the same thing over and over I can stand) never actually explains the mechanism.

Sidenote, I'm sure they took all the needed safety precautions but it sure seemed like they were standing in front of the gun barrel in a few shots which made me super anxious. I knew nothing was going to happen (since it was posted on YouTube) but it just felt felt dangerous.
In most cases the average temperature is a bit lower than what your comfortable swimming temperature is. Sure it gets hotter than that some days, but pools are very slow to heat up/cool down and so they generally track the average temperature not the peak temperature. (you are probably swimming when it is peak temperature, and not at night when it is colder outside)

it seems like making building an electronic braille display is an interesting side project.

This already fell off the front page but I am actually working on exactly that project right now. The inspiration was standing around with my kid, seeing some braille and decoding it.

The cost of the current systems is associated with the volume of hard tooling and assembly work necessary to create the precision lever assemblies based on 1970s piezo technology.

Therefore, the initial R&D goal is to determine whether it may now be possible to achieve similar outcomes using alternate approaches to the actuation problem. Many people have tried but it seems all have failed to achieve the necessary combination of alternate actuation, spatial density and manufacturability within a low cost design goal.
Not sure why something that happened when they were 8 years old means that current undergrads aren't allowed to have fun, buy okay.

I can think of a handful of things that it might be nice or convenient for someone to be able to access (subscription services and whatnot), but I agree that it seems legally unwise to encourage anyone to try to log into my financial accounts and move money around after I die.

But they don't out-compete them in any shape or form. I'd call it healthy competition.

Pulumi made Hashicorp build Terraform CDK. Which is a great result.

And the only reason Hashicorp was able to build CDK quickly is because they built it on top of Amazon's open source Amazon CDK. Another competitor.
Is there a “realistic upper bound” in things that should be memorized verbatim?
Ancient greeks probably memorized the Iliad and other poems (rhyming and metre might work as a substitute for data compression, in this case), and many medieval preachers apparently memorized the whole Bible…
Pulumi is the product that comes to mind immediately. Then things like env0, SpaceLift etc at the service end.
Hydrogen powered vehicles will approach 100% of all transportation. That is because it is the only that scales across all sectors, as well as being the only one that is really sustainable. Even things like methanol or syn-fuels will be made from it, making them part of hydrogen infrastructure. Also, the people who make claims like yours are basically suggesting that standardization will die. That every transportation sector will use its own separate infrastructure. That is a massive waste of money, and one that ignores history. One common standard, or at most a few closely-related standards, will displace a mishmash of disparate solutions.
From https://www.couchbase.com/blog/couchbase-adopts-bsl-license/ it says:

> BSL provides a Change Date usually between one to four years in which the BSL license converts to a Change License that is open source, which can be GNU General Public License (GPL), GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), Apache, etc.

So to me the most important question is what is the change license and how long does it take? If it's 1 year then it goes MPS 2.0: okay that's fine. But if it's much longer and more restrictive than it's a real about face and means the opensource version is really not workable as it's too far behind the head.

4 years is basically "of historical interest" only especially when security is involved.
I wish I could say my dad's thymus is saving his life, quite the opposite. He was discharged from the ICU/hospital yesterday after he nearly died from a "myasthenic crisis"—an event that most people with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) will experience. From what I understand, his thymus produces antibodies that destroys receptors connecting the nerves and muscles. He can't keep his head up, eyelids up, can't swallow and during the crisis could not breathe.

Interestingly, a small portion of MG patients have an enlarged/tumorous thymus and end up getting it removed, though there aren't necessarily clear benefits. It's also a quite invasive procedure they wouldn't perform on older folks like my dad (he shows no signs of it anyway).

Overall I agree with you though—this article is not saying anything new. As a concerned son who's spent more than his fair share of time trying to understand what's going on here, I wish it did. I also wish there were some treatments for my dad that worked. For now, exercising, eating healthy, lowering stress, and a healthy dose of steroids are currently keeping him with us. If anyone has advice, I'm all ears.

Yes, absolutely. The US Census has a report on vacancy rates here:

https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf

Table 3 has a section called "Vacant - Held Off Market" which shows the number that are held off market for whatever reason. It's a relatively small number, but it does comprise tens if not hundreds of thousands of units across the country.

Here's another report from Berkeley that has some graphs that describe "rented or sold but not yet occupied" rates, as well, which would be emblematic of the renovations and such.

It is important to understand that there are two kinds of open-source software:

- Software made by startups that are precious to HN. In this case, building a business on top of them is "freeloading" and it's deeply immoral. Examples: Elastic, HashiCorp, Mongo

- "Public good software", there's nothing wrong with profiting from it, in fact, it's encouraged. Examples: Linux, Postgres, Nginx, Apache

Any statement which is not logically valid (read: always true) is unprovable. The statement ∃x∃y(x>y)
is not provable from the theory of linear orders, since it is false in the singleton order. On the other hand, it is not disprovable since any other order type would satisfy it.

The statement ∃x(x2−2=0)
is not provable from the axioms of the field, since Q
thinks this is false, and C
thinks it is true.

Interesting, I didn't know that either. If I was hiring I would have assumed the candidate completed additional studies especially if the date of graduation was what appears to be 3 years after graduation (btw matriculation is start date not graduation).

I love the intention and at the same time I have many questions about this. Let me think out loud for a minute:
I think loneliness is a symptom and the cause could be many things. Some of the causes require clinical attention. Thinking about depression for example: it is a delicate matter how to talk to someone with depression, what to say or what not to say, and helping someone with depression requires some sort of training. How to make sure people who want to support and join this website will not unintentionally do harm?
One thing that comes in mind is to remind the support members about certain things, have them to read few articles, maybe even point them to some online training sessions (which can be hosted on this app as well)
The other thing is lonely people. This app might need a way to connect the group that might need clinical help to right people.

Also I think HN is good to get technical advice from but in this case getting advice from mental health experts is definitely needed.

Wish you the best :)

There is a lot of speculation here on what this means, so I looked it up. The median center is the point through which a north-south and an east-west line each divides the total population of the country in half. This is different from the "center of population", which is the balance point if you took an imaginary flat surface and put an identical weight on it for each person. These are both different from the geometric median.
