Aurora MySQL was released October 2014.

Aurora Postgres hit general availability October 2017. (Sorry, betas and early release offerings don't count.)

Quick math… carry the two… compute the partial differential equation…

Looks like 3 YEARS between the release of Aurora MySQL and Aurora Postgres.

You might be thinking of the "obviousness test" for patents. If an invention is a combination of two things which are established prior art, and there is a suggestion, teaching, or motivation which any person could discover through straightforward analysis of the existing prior art, then it's not a patentable innovation.

There being one right way to solve a problem, doesn't really change whether a bit is copied or not. If you have a bug and there's one right way to solve the issue, then you don't need to copy the original. You can reproduce the bug and solve the issue, and any similarity between the independent solutions is coincidental.

If you take the source code and accept the new license terms, I think you'll be bound by the terms. I am not a lawyer and I haven't read the full text of the BUSL-1.1 but I will now, since that's probably the best way to understand what the license does or does not do.

Here in Maryland, passing on the right is permitted:

> On a highway with unobstructed pavement not occupied by parked vehicles and wide enough for two or more lines of vehicles moving lawfully in the same direction as the overtaking vehicle;

Otherwise known as what everyone calls a highway. All the rules about keeping to the right to allow passing do not apply when passing on the right is allowed.

Of course, someone who is licensed to drive in MD is allowed to drive in all 50 states, even without being trained on their laws.

It's tempting to blame the inexperienced first officers, their training, or the CRM failures on this flight, but the blame for this crash has to land squarely on the atrociously bad UX of the Airbus cockpit.

Sensory overload and no clear readout of what is actually broken (pitot tube icing in this case) is bad but the fly-by-wire joystick configuration is what really doomed this flight. In Boeing airliners and many other types of aircraft the control sticks are mechanically linked together: you can physically feel if the other pilot is fighting your inputs:

> “Controls to the left,” Robert said, still worried about their bank angle. Pressing the priority button on his side stick, he took control and locked out Bonin, but Bonin immediately pressed his own priority button and assumed control again.

If the controls were mechanically linked Robert would have recognized his inputs were being overridden and would have been able to save the plane.
I'm going to share a, probably, controversial opinion. That opinion is: I can't stand an outage title like "Websites and APIs on Render are unavailable due to Cloudflare network errors". Its passing blame. I run an app or two on Render. I don't pay Cloudflare; I pay Render. Take responsibility for the infrastructure decisions that you make, for your customers; don't pass blame to your infrastructure providers.

When an entity buys a business (majority ownership) it can do whatever it pleases to do. Outcries and discussions about fees they charge and other things they allegedly do is completely illogical. This article is unbelievable hopeless.

People have to understand that a 'PE' fund and also other alternatives like a 'hedge fund' is simply a private partnership / specific legal vehicle. The term 'Private Equity' and 'Hedge fund' does not even exist in legal terms, it is market jargon. Not only will there never be any regulation but there can't be any. You can't just regulate a certain field of activity that operates solely in the legal world. The private partnership has an agreement to acquire companies, but it could also be about anything else! Giving the fund enough freedom to buy companies, buy land, buy art etc.

A PE fund and a hedge fund are NOT REGULATED by the SEC, they are REGISTERED with the SEC. Their filings are also never checked for correctness, thus only accredited investors (wealthy - e.g. income above 200K) are allowed under law to invest in such private entities if the fund markets itself!

You can not regulate a private investment vehicle in a country takes certain economic and free-market principles and incentives halfway serious. And if the public goes on the nerve of these management companies they just rebrand 'Private equity' to something else.

And don't forget, they OWN the portfolio company. There is no serious argument for regulation that prohibits a legit owner of a company to do a certain activity.
Because most startups can’t use AGPL. I had to provide audits of our licenses of libraries we use in our code base to investors and attest we didn’t have AGPL code in our code/software in our stack. This was at an e-commerce company and not a company that directly monetized software. Companies are free to choose whatever license but it will limit who can use their software.
>Somehow the people at Apple thought an error code and a brief description would be scary, so they opted for this absolutely terrifying icon instead

This is why interfaces made by programmers tend to be impossible to use. Our minds simply work differently than normal people. In the 99% case, that icon will tell a user precisely the same information as any kind of detailed error log, which is "Oh no, something is broken, I should go to the Apple store."
Certainly something that applies more to cubesats and similar projects. "Normal" satellites typically carry at least an authentication unit that performs some kind of HMAC checking. You can find some of that stuff here: https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/352x0b2.pdf

Somewhat relatedly: I've been using Uberspace for years now to host some personal stuff (e.g. my Nextcloud instance). It's really cheap (you can start for as low as 5€/month), and I don't know any other shared hoster that allows so much flexibility in what you run on your account. The docs are also superb. I can only recommend it.

It is crazy how much money the PE folks have made by making a company worse off. In far too many cases, it's been like the anti-thesis of business: Instead of getting paid by improving a business, and thus delivering better service/products to the customer, the businesses have been optimized for debt - which in turn has been funneled back via dividends.

In the end the business is worse off, and the customers are paying more for less (or exactly the same before PE stepped in).

Luckily the days of cheap/free debt are over, but some few earned billions.

There's a middleground that many developers have trouble finding :

You can design your code so that it'll be easier to evolve into the most likely path. However, you don't actually implement the future cases.

Example: it doesn't take a lot more effort to create a configuration struct instead of hardcoding a value. However, you don't want to implement handling of any other values that the one you planned on using. You can easily throw a "value not supported" error if the configuration has anything else.

However, this will greatly help any newcomer on the codebase to understand what possibilities your component potentially offers and how it can evolve.

It's unhelpful to link to Google searches as sources; the first page of results is usually just news or blog articles very thin on facts.

The risks to health of natural gas stoves (basically, just the production of NO2 and particulate matter) are almost all due to insufficient ventilation. Houses will need more and better (active) ventilation going forward anyway, as increasing insulation standards for homes mean they don't "breath" as much as they used to. So there's other ways to mitigate those health risks that don't involve banning something that many people enjoy using.

Poor people as a whole indeed do have overall worth health than rich people, but switching to electric stoves won't move the needle almost at all. Gas stoves are most linked to pediatric asthma[0], but in terms of stuff that affect poor people more than rich people, that's hypertension, arthritis, smoking, and obesity[1], none of which care what kind of stove you cook with at home.

New York Times: Don't use our content to train AI systems
The entitlement and blatant hypocrisy of Mozilla haters is insane. "Mozilla does weird things to try and diversify their income so that Google cannot shut them down one day randomly if they're finally competitive, but that's not the one blessed thing of committing code to the single blessed repository of Firefox, so instead I'm going to use the browser built by a company that makes all of its money through advertising, explicitly sends pretty much everything you do in their browser to their advertising apparatus, repeatedly pushed unnecessary "standards" that would make it easier to fingerprint users, and is now trying to tee-up a standard that will make it possible to cryptographically prevent users from blocking ads in the future."

Case in point: when Zwicky discovered that galaxies were rotating faster than could be explained in terms of what we know, that was an advance - an increase in our scientific knowledge. when we come up with a satisfactory explanation of why that is the case, then we will also have an advance - an increase in our scientific understanding. You can't get to the latter until you have advanced to the former, and we will probably need further advances of our scientific knowledge before we can understand the phenomenon Zwicky identified.

What makes it "fluff" to you? My definition of "fluff" is that it doesn't answer my question, and that I walk away from it with no idea what the product even is. This is mostly concrete and I can tell you roughly what Narrowlink is and isn't after reading their (misspelled) page.

Something like:

"Introducing NarrowLink, the world's most advanced and secure VPN solution! With our cutting-edge technology, you'll experience unparalleled speed, reliability, and security. Our military-grade encryption ensures that your data stays private and safe from prying eyes. Enjoy unlimited access to all your favorite content, no matter where you are in the world. Say goodbye to restrictions and hello to a new era of internet freedom. Join millions of satisfied customers and take control of your online experience with NarrowLink today!"

would be fluff.
> ...similar products popping up in the market. It's both exciting and scary because it confirms a demand...

Does it? Or does it confirm that other people also think there might be a demand? Do those other product have customers? Who are they?

If I were you, I'd take your 2 resellers / 14 customers and ask them specifically what made your solution the right answer for them. Hopefully their answers are similar, and then you have confirmation of what problem your product solves. Then your marketing can adjust to focusing on the problem and who has that problem, instead of promoting a product to an overly broad market.
I don't know much about therapy, but

> A company removing itself from the market creates room for competition.

Not always.

Let's say, just for the sake of the argument, that people are lazy and social (so far so good), so much so that they spend all their free time on social media (that's the excessive part for the argument).

Don't allow links of category XYZ on social media? Well, now people won't be sharing them. Opportunity has ceased to exist.

You only get competition if there's a new social network that does allow XYZ. If the old social network is dominant, this may not be reasonable or effective — if FB pulls out of Canada, some other random university student can pull off what Zuckerberg did at university, but Canadabook still won't (except by luck) get the international cachet.

> And good riddance, too-- you shouldn't be getting your news from social media, anyway.

Yup, agreed.

Im fact, go further and get rid of FB and all the rest — I'd be happy for us to go back to e-mail and IRC (and I'm only 70% sure that's because I'm pining for my lost youth when everything was simple and I didn't have any important things to worry about).

I do computational physics and I use Snakemake.
On HPCs, we only have user-level access. We are not allowed to perform long-running processes on login nodes, could be killed at any time due to a violation of rules.
That said, anything that depends on Docker is a no-go; anything that uses a server-client structure we will try to avoid (although it might be possible for us to host a daemon elsewhere that we as students pay out of our own pocket).
We also deal with a lot of tools that are not well-written in Python or modern languages, you wouldn't want to build any CFFI onto it.

So Snakemake, and similarly, Nextflow, suits our needs well. It is a user-space CLI tool that does not require any privileges, it optimizes for running bash command / any CLI-based tools. A bonus for Snakemake is that it uses Python and our other scripts use Python too.

So I guess DevOps tooling, which heavily bias towards docker or whatever container-based execution, is really a different space.
I loved how the scanning could be controlled in ways other than just the the back and forth sweeping of a boring TV picture. I loved some of the old arcade games to did this too. The nature of the scanning meant the graphics were not as "impressive", but for some reason, I enjoyed the game play over the side scrollers.
> Narrowlink and Tailscale are two open source solutions with different architectures that enable secure remote access and connectivity across networks.

A nitpick, but ironically I think they're being generous to Tailscale there. Tailscale isn't really "open source" - or at least not without heavy qualification. I'm not an open source zealot by any means but that line just seems a little misleading.

The clients are partially open source [0], but the server isn't at all.

There is an open-source implementation of the Tailscale server called Headscale, but Headscale is not Tailscale. This distinction is important because a significant part of the value proposition of Tailscale compared to other overlay/mesh networks is their very well designed web UI which makes managing their Wireguard based networks very user friendly. Headscale has no UI (edit: there are some third-party "unofficial" Headscale UIs [2]).

In fact the Headscale repo still says explicitly "This project is not associated with Tailscale Inc." [1] even though I understand that it is (unofficially?) supported by Tailscale these days.

Exactly, there is a big difference between multi-million dollar communications/observation satellites and cubesats, which can now be built and flown for under $100k. There is no reason or budget to use radhard chips with that sort of budget, when the thing will probably fail or re-enter the atmosphere before radiation damage matters.

The satellite I'm working on will be LEO, but fairly large, to do earth observation (SAR). The subsystem I'm working on uses a radiation hardened SPARC chip from Gaisler (Leon4). It's a fairly popular choice nowadays. We do use an RTOS, although I've largely been writing bare-metal boot loader code and drivers so it's not my area of expertise. Pretty much all of our buses/interconnects/CPUs/FPGAs are space-grade, with ECC/EDAC memory and nonvolatile storage.

When I was 16 I lived with my sister for a few months, which were among the best of my life. She was in university and I'd moved in to help her take care of her infant so she wouldn't have to drop out.

Anyway, at her university library she got me a book on Cicero. I remember at one point, Cicero in the book travels around asia minor or somewhere trying to collect evidence to make the case for a client. However, he comes to the conclusion later on that facts and evidence don't really matter so much, as creating a compelling narrative.

5xx means the server messed up, if the user should've done something different you'd see a 4xx error.

A good web server validates the user input, throws a 4xx error if the input is bad for the current state, and if something still goes wrong (which is a server bug) the 5xx range becomes appropriate.
Time and time again we learn that people do stupid things under stress. Consider Transair flight 810 [1], in which a simple engine failure during takeoff results in a complete loss of the aircraft when both pilots mistakenly identify the _wrong_ engine as malfunctioning, despite identifying the failure correctly only minutes earlier. OP has an article on that crash too, actually [2].

> I wanted to constantly run and rerun the smaller parts to get each one just right.

One one hand, as you alluded too, I've found unit tests are a great solution to this. Kill two birds with one stone - rapidly iterate on a chunk of code and come out of it with solid test coverage.

It's too bad that's not very feasible in gamedev most of the time with so much going on in the world, but over time I think that environment improved my skills to where it's less of a problem.
...and there should be a guid assigned to the problem, in the logs, and possibly visible to the end user.
I think you have to be pretty realistic about the costs of LLM products, there is a reason no one has a non-gated product -- It would be an absolutely ridiculous and uncontrollable cost.

Ask HN: Micro investment capital (~$50k) for a solo bootstrapped SaaS?
I'm a bootstrapped solo founder in Kyiv, Ukraine running a profitable SaaS that is about 2 years old and shows solid steady (slow) growth. I need a small capital injection for equipment upgrades (still using an old iPhone 7!) and moving expenses. $50k would be a life changing sum of money for me, enabling me to move to a safer area (e.g. rural Western Ukraine) and set up a productive work environment. Any idea where I can find a small investment? Happy to trade some equity or something.

Incorporated as a Delaware C-Corp using Stripe Atlas. Business loans (Pipe, TinySeed, etc.) aren't an option for a business of my size and location, and YC isn't interested in a solo founder in a warzone, I guess.
