I would say copyleft licenses can even be better for a business, since they make sure, that competitors cannot grab and run, but need to contribute back. Businesses just need to understand, that copyleft also applies to the competition, when they use copyleft licensed projects.

I use NixOS so it's feasible for me to use these as true drop-in replacements when they're done. And the reason I'd want to do that is for hardening, as the sibling commenter suggests.

The fact it's released under MIT instead of Apache (or GPL) does worry me though.

It's a DAO; it doesn't necessarily have a bank account.

I'm so relieved to find the top comment here is about the licence. The trend towards MIT-style licences and away from the GPL is a worrying one.

I don't understand the problem people have with the GPL. The GPL is there to ensure free software stays free forever. In a world with copyright this is the only way to do it. Permissive licences and public domain do not work.

Companies like Microsoft hate the GPL. This alone should tell you that you, an individual enthusiast, should probably love it.

Indeed, just maintaining it isn't very complicated, but finding features for which users would be willing to pay $10/month seems complicated to me, as the play store is very competitive.
The vast majority of Linux users are indifferent to lots of important things, operating systems are complex and there are too many parts to keep abreast of.

However, the foundations are largely GPL-licensed because the GPL is superior in the long term. If people want to donate their time to companies then good luck to them, but it is a stupid strategy to donate free time to companies. If a company is paying good money for someone to write BSD-licensed software then sure, but otherwise the developer is playing a mug's game. Not a universal rule, I can see why some crypto or standard reference libraries might want to be BSD licenced. But by and large it is an invitation for parasites to attach.
This practice is referred to as Mithridatism. Snake venom injections will help develop an increased metabolic tolerance, but this not quite the same as developing a vaccine.

Ask HN: Why does Amazon not remove fake reviews using AI?
Amazon india is a cesspool of fake reviews.

I’ve seen reviews for shoes on shoe polish products.

The reviewer profiles are obviously bots, they copy-paste the same text with minor variations.

How hard is it for Amazon to use some AI to flag and delete these reviews?

Or do they have some ulterior motive to keep them? Because reviews are useless if they are not trustworthy.

Great to hear that other people see it that way.
I mostly agree with you and that’s why I use a single page with the eight or so apps that I actually use daily. All the rest are in the App Library and I launch them with search. For me, it’s much faster than scrolling and looking for the icon. Typically I only have to type one or two characters to find the app I need.
This is a disingenious comment, imo. The payment you are referring to payed in the early 1800:s.

>France demanded payment from Haiti for recognition of its independence in the early 19th century. The demand for reparations was made shortly after Haiti declared independence in 1804 following a successful revolt against French colonial rule. The negotiations and the subsequent agreement for reparations occurred between 1825 and 1838.

I may be missing some subtlety but it seems like this is computationally O(N) on insertion, since the eviction will have to visit and mark every node in the pathological case where all existing entries are already visited?

That does not sound accurate at all. I've rarely seen a PC gamer use a controller. In fact for many types of games mice are preferable. There's a few genres where controllers are always better but I find that's not the bulk of what PC gamers play anyway.
The largest demographic of readers, who have the ability to make or break a book is middle class white women. If you can convince them to read your book, you have made it.
I think a broad bias against copyleft has existed because people felt that it got in the way of just "getting things done" and felt that significant efforts contributed to BSD-style licenses would just "get rewarded" through patronage from the larger entities in silicon valley; leading to jobs, or donations, etc.

I think that worked for many while the job market was pumping, VC was flowing, and the BigCorps were hiring and spending money like crazy. So people didn't feel particularly exploited.

But I'm expecting the bias in the community will shift back to copyleft as the BigCorps show their true nature with the rounds of layoffs, mandatory RTO, cutbacks in perks, etc.

Why spend a single moment of your time doing unpaid hours doing free work for these people?

I've personally gone back to putting my (modest and used by nobody, to be fair) projects under GPLv3.
Constrained devices should rather stick to the existing key exchange methods, until more certainty exists about the threat of quantum computers.

The current methods have much lower overhead than any of the post-quantum methods.

Constrained devices that must be quantum-resistant while not affording the cost of hybrid algorithms, which are only slightly less expensive than pure post-quantum algorithms, should better use key-exchange methods based on pre-shared authentication keys, which have much lower overhead than the public-key methods.

They could still use hybrid key exchange methods, but very infrequently, only for updating the pre-shared authentication keys, in which case the slowness of the hybrid key exchange method would not matter.
Please elaborate on the "extinguish" part from GNU/GPL.

Edit: Doesnt the existence of uutils already contradict that?
1. The majority of Cantonese speakers belong to the Han ethnic group.

2. "Mandarin" is not synonymous with "汉语." Standard Mandarin (普通话/现代标准汉语/國語 in Taiwan) and Standard Cantonese (粤语/广东话) represent two main varieties of the Chinese language, or "汉语". [1]

3. It's unsurprising that the Mandarin speakers you spoke with refer to their language as "Chinese", considering they were addressing a foreigner and Standard Mandarin is the official language of China. However, in interactions between Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, it's common to ask, "Do you speak Cantonese/Mandarin?"

Packt’s business model is so transparent and so cynical. I hate it.
This sounds like a simple enough problem that one could work out a provably optimal algorithm in less time than it takes to get even a non-optimal ML solution working.

But both approaches would be an interesting exercise in their respective domain!

Come to think of it, it might even be an interesting toy problem for a SAT solver! Overkill in the same way as an ML approach, of course.
> so it feels like a "compatibility" project for MacOS and Windows

I get a similar feeling. This is more attractive than ports like cygwin as a solution because if you have this in every place you can be more sure your environments match. With ports there will be more delay getting changes/fixes in different environments, at least in theory, than with a solution that is cross-platform as a core goal. The other main options, running Linux in a VM (directly or via WSL2) adds an extra layer of friction.

A cross-platform solution is more likely to match bug-for-bug in different environments, which can be as important as matching feature-for-feature: if something is going to fail out there it will fail the same way in your dev/test environments.

Also some will want to use it from a licensing PoV. Many¹ find GPL related licences bothersome and use the GNU coreutils because there isn't (until this matches their requirements) an alternative. Similarly, the language might be an attraction to some, either ideologically or because they might want to dig into the source, though this is more of a factor for projects developing new features rather than trying to be drop-in replacements.

I expect the attraction to be relatively niche though, people won't start using it as a drop-in for the GNU tools en-mass until, for instance, popular distributions use it (or a niche distribution using it becomes more popular for some other reason).

[1] I am not one of that many, but they are many so this is a notable consideration.
Agree, tho worth pointing out that GPL licensed software is still subject to parasitical behaviour from SaaS companies. While the AGPL can plug that, it is very unpopular.
> Authors apparently earn cents of royalties for every physical book purchased. That seems crazy.

Agreed, but it is (somewhat) justified by the sheer length of the chain (printing house, distributors, bookstores etc.)

FWIW, I wrote and self-published a book on a 99% automated platform (e-book only), and I get 80% royalties.

Another (anec)datapoint: I published a book (this time not written by me) in a more "traditional" way (i.e., on paper). The book is pretty niche, had 0 marketing expenses (we basically only relied on word-of-mouth). We kept the costs low, but not too low (we paid a bit for nice typesetting, illustrations, good paper etc.). We did not even try to put it in bookstores and only sold it via Internet (using an ebay-style platform, not even a custom e-commerce solution; we didn't even had a landing page with a our own domain!). This allowed us to break even after a few months, which I think is insane comparing to the "big book" (aka publishing industry).
Nothin' wrong with recreating one's favorite feature of paid software as well.

The collective naivete of artists continues to astound me.

If a human can look at your art and learn from it, replicate it, and sell it, then so can an AI. If the human doesn’t pay for it, then neither should the AI.

Of course you are not allowed to use the exact same (or close enough) piece of art, but that’s no different for a human.

Is it even legal to take a GPL-licensed code, translating to Rust ensuring it is exactly compatible, and then releasing under non-GPL? I thought you would need to extract a clean-room specification from it first, and ideally have separate people extracting the specification and writing the new code.

The most noble reason one might offer is that it measures popular new tools against a widely used legacy of work in C, exposing the subtle corner cases that lurk in Rust and its ecosystem.

More likely it's enthusiasm and surplus energy finding an outlet.

Licensing is cited often. For coreutils? Whose lucrative commercial scheme has a custom tail(1) as its secret sauce? Doesn't make sense to me. Looking at the top contributors it's some Rust enthusiasts and a Debian project Director. I'd expect to see hardware manufacturer employees or similar if this were about licensing.
Just to clarify, this means hype cache algorithms are basically not replaceable with common cache algorithms such as LRU or ARC.
I would say it depends on the book. I don't have such data for my Elisp textbook (which fared pretty well), but I'm not sure it would confirm your claim.
Agreed, and as a friend pointed out to me years ago, there's nothing stopping people who author GPLd code from making it clear that if a corporation wants a different licensing arrangement for something that's under GPL, they're perfectly capable of negotiating that with the author and paying for it.

That this doesn't happen often shows the motivation of most companies using open source is ultimately ... just looking for free work.
Yes, but the source is available and anyone can fix the bugs.

What is not factored in, however, is that nuclear reactors can work for much longer than 40 years (which is a time span used by LCOE). Not to mention storage and grid extension.

Of course I would comment that xxd output heavily in my editor, and that seems the best moment to use Hiew and clones.)

Mozilla's objective is not to actually develop a good browser - that's not only an unnecessary expense but would also bite the hand that feeds.

I suspect a younger generation of authors coming up now will almost exclusively self publish.

In the niches of fantasy I read there are no traditionally published authors any more, they all monetise via patreon, kindle unlimited and audible. From what I've gleaned no traditional publisher can compete with this.

I think probably we reach a point where hardbacks become "collectors editions" for successful works only, while paperbacks are print on demand. The vast majority of consumption will be ebook or audible.
