Most important part is: its a great game. Strongly recommended.
So the technical founders of both Redis and Hashicorp managed to step down before their respective businesses take on a shitstorm by steering away from FOSS. Unless I have my timelines wrong.

I wonder if they knew that was coming and disagreed. Or knew it was coming and didn't want to take the hit to their reputation. Agree or not with the move, there is a reputation hit. Or was it them leaving that enabled the change to be pushed through?

This is entirely speculation and just something I noticed with Hashi and now see repeat with Redis.
I'd pay a one time cost of 20-30 dollars just to get rid of the ads.
Grisly murder case shocks China and shines a light on 'left behind' children
There’s an elephant in the room here. The pandemic pushed WFH over the Rubicon. Now the only way to put that genie back in the bottle is when the majority of companies force RTO. When the they don’t, RTO companies are deliberately and knowingly sabotaging their own companies by paying higher salaries and relocation for talent that is not geographically local. Remote companies are competing on a completely different playing field now they have reached that mass effect. So RTO company CEO’s should now be deeply questioned on their policies by shareholders since it is deliberately damaging to their companies to forcibly restrict talent and to pay more for it.
I suspect that ChatGPT would be quite challenged trying to write code in any language that wasn't part of its training data. So a DSL that was just released would be a challenge.

Worth trying out though. Perhaps rule creation can be turned into function calls so it wouldn't need to understand new syntax.
The poster above you is incorrect in many respects, but your statement that "cancer doesn't grow in muscle cells" is also misguided.

There are numerous muscle and muscle adjacent tumors that arise at various levels of differentiation, ranging from those that literally mean "muscle cancer" such as myosarcomas or leiomyosarcoma (smooth muscle), to those affecting adnexa such as fibrosarcomas or chondrosarcomas, or less differentiated mesenchymal neoplasms, depending on how far you want to zoom out on a whole realm of oncology. Even fat cells can become cancerous (liposarcoma).

In essence any cell type you can stick in a burger has a cancerous correlate, but again the idea of cultured cells being equivalent to eating tumors is incorrect as much as it is amusing.
Even more unbelievable to me is that the idea of wearing a helmet to protect your head while cycling wasn’t invented until 1970
"The worst part about radio is the DJ saying nonsense between songs, and they added AI to say nonsense between songs"

Yup, sounds exactly like what a DJ does. I was driving, waiting at a traffic light, watching the minutes go by. 8 minutes. DJ still kept blabbing. Every radio station I turned to, there was a DJ saying nonsense. There's more DJ nonsense than music. That's the point I downloaded Joox, which I later switched to Spotify, and then later to YouTube Music.

I guess at some point, people listen to so much music that they want to hear a commentary or alternate view on that music. Spotify is probably at that maturity level where its listeners don't even want music anymore.
I agree it's more the apps than the medium, but it's still ALSO about the medium. The medium enables the apps because of (1) being in your pocket (2) having notifications (3) this one isn't talked about enough -- the wonderful tactile feedback feeling of seemingly zero latency when scrolling, pinching, etc on the touch screen

Of course, the addictive apps work on a chromebook too, but at least they're less portable and less pleasingly tactile, clunkier

1000% the current state of Islamo-Judaic relations is because of Israel. I really cannot fathom what alternate reality is otherwise.

How you want to decide who to blame for what is a different story, but the fact is what it is. History didn't begin in 1948, but the formation of Israel (which began before WWII) is what kicked off the current colder than ice relations between the two religions.
Actually the intuitive human reactions on a bike are often the exact opposite of what you need to do to balance the bike. F.ex. if you look at kids learning to bike their intuitive reaction to the bike falling to one side is to lean to the opposite side, but that has the exact opposite effect of what they want to achieve. When you lean to one side you exert force force on the bike the other side and the bike will fall quicker. What you need to do is to use the handlebars to turn a little bit to the same side the bike is falling to re-balance it. Ehm, at least I think so? The more I think about it the more uncertain I become.

I'm not sure if it's different for Nvidia, but the Gamer Nexus video about Intel drivers suggest a lot of the work getting good performance is done on the driver side for all GPU vendors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp3BGu3vixk
Doesn't seem true. Or at the very least unverified.

I’ll admit to not having looked at the details at all, but a possible explanation is that almost all the time is spent on inter process communication overhead, so if that also happens before the timer starts (eg, the data has been transferred, just waiting to be read from a local buffer) then the measured time will be significantly lower.
> You could say the same thing about any specification that involved multiple features.

You could, which is why I find APIs like Discord's easier to program for.

> So is HTML.

Web dev had a certain reputation, partially because of that.

> Is the same not true for Discord?

Discord sure has a bunch of weird format options, but the core messaging API hasn't changed significantly in years as far as I can tell. You have text messages, sometimes with attachments, and that's about it. Even the base structure of usernames changing has been backwards compatible without API changes.

> Destructuring incoming data is probably the easiest part of writing a messaging client.

That depends on the structure of the data, really.

> I use unencrypted 1:1 chats as well

That does make things easier. But I don't. A fancy GTK version of Cinny would he completely useless to me without basic encryption support. I still run into encryption bugs from time to time using multiple types of client.

> And I can choose my homeserver or run my own. Can you run your own Discord server (actual server)?

So do I! And I can't, obviously. But realistically, who cares? The Venn diagram between "people who want to be able to run their own server" and "people I know who know how to install Arch" is pretty much a single circle.

I want Matrix/XMPP/the Fediverse to succeed, but nobody but technology enthusiasts seems to care about any of this. A chat service I can use to talk to developers and fellow server admins is great in its own right, but it's not a replacement for Discord where the normal people hang out.

From what I can tell, dissent is built in a way that shouldn't make it too hard to convert into a Matrix client. You'll need to fight with Spaces to get the "Discord server" concept across, though. For the people who don't want to use Discord, most of the work is there. All you need is to grab a Matrix library for go (gomatrix died a month ago so you'd need to fork/vendor that I guess?) and rework the data store.

I think my biggest issue with Matrix is mostly the status of most existing libraries. Many of them are outdated, partially cover the stack, and there's not a lot of info on how to use them. Libraries get partially developed, and then abandoned for various reasons.

Another thing that's rather annoying to work with is the way Matrix deals with things like emoji reactions and state. Everything is one big additive list of messages that needs to be read completely to get a proper view of the room.

Whatever the exact reasons may be, I had an easier experience writing a small Discord client than I had writing a small Matrix client. Matrix can be as easy as Discord, but only if you don't try to do anything more complex than an IRC client.
Show HN: Devika – Open-source alternative to Devin
Let me guess, he wants to build it in rust.
It would also help that many developers would acknowledge that we are no different from other professionals, expecting to be paid for our own work, while not wanting to give a dime for the work tools doesn't scale.

Those producing work tools also have bills to pay.

In a way, developers themselves are to blame for the failure of the FOSS dream.

Slowly we are back to the public domain/shareware days.

> Maybe such is the destiny of foundational open source server software... If it's "cloudable" no profitable business will come out of it.

I really hope it's not true, but many clues suggest it might be.

I like the concept of open core with a very liberal license. Perhaps there should be a special "MIT-X" (an example, it would be certainly not compatible) license with a clause borrowed from that of Llama2 for large organizations, as Additional Commercial Terms [0].

What is gameplay/control like on mobile? Is the crawling and combat engaging?
> I think the difference is in whether we can accept (or tolerate) externally-imposed structure, especially when we disagree with it. If not, the best coping mechanism is to build your own from the inside.

Yes. You're being more precise than me here. This is spot on. The way I build and manage my own structure is to combat exactly this. For me it's a combination of habits and tools evolved over many years, and it will continue to do so.

I see this as a failure of the legislation and entirely foreseeable. That’s why I blame the EU because “evil capitalists” existed back then too.

I use that example because if the EU wanted to encourage websites to not abuse user data, their legislation didn’t mandate that and the result we have today was entirely expected. Instead they should have legislated for that consumer protection directly.

My point here is that the EU acted naively when they wrote that legislation and I see a repeat of this unwillingness to truly address the problem with the DMA - currently EU politicians are promoting the potential fringe benefits of the DMA while ignoring the much larger, much more probable consumer harms. Noting the FTC fine against Epic Games and Fortnite, certain EU politicians are even promoting one of those “evil capitalists”.

It is plainly foreseeable how the DMA will directly hinder small developers and harm consumers, the only true winner from the DMA are large developers of well known software such as Microsoft and Spotify, whereby the DMA significantly tilts balance in their favour.
Oh man, this makes me sad.

I remember reading A Fire Upon the Deep based on a Usenet recommendation, and then immediately wanting to read everything else he wrote. A Deepness in the Sky is a worthy sequel.

He wasn’t prolific, but what he wrote was gold. He had a Tolkienesque ability to build world depth not by lengthy exposition, but by expert omission.

A true name in sci-fi.
Dunno if you noticed who you are debating with here... :-D
This guy was one of the greats. A deepness in the sky (the sequel) is one of my favourite sci fi books of all time, and even better than Fire upon the deep imo.

TimescaleDB has an open core style license that seems to prevent the cloud services from repackaging their DB.

It's not technically fully open source, but it's pretty close to it.

Actually, I just took another look and they now market their "open core" as the apache edition (or perhaps have diverged from the "community edition" now)
Could you help me understand your comment? What’s a 4H auction? What do little girls have to do with factory farming? It sounds interesting, but it’s easier to ask you than to research it at 3am after feeding my own little girl.
The new FSD is fantastic. It's not perfect but 12.3 is a massive upgrade over 11.x. Very natural. The end is within sight, really.
It was also just two guys with a moderate paycheck doing what they loved.

They only hit it big when they got the game prettified and on Steam.

You never rode on dirt roads before? Sure, it's not as efficient as on pavement and you can't use road tires, but it's still much more efficient than walking.
> Rust lowers the bar for contributing and also increases the pool of programmers who can.

It reduces the amount of help that current experienced kernel developers can give to newer developers who want to write in rust.
Microsoft Garnet, licensed under MIT. Uses the same protocol meaning Redis client licenses still work.
I think the GP is talking about AWT, which is indeed terrible. JetBrains uses Swing, which is... still not really the best, but IIRC they've done a lot of work to write their own abstractions and helpers and whatnot on top of it to make it more bearable.
Now that Nvidia is the leader in AI, there is more of a business case for them to work properly in Linux.
I get the FOMO, But I have the original steam deck too and it's still great. Yes two years later something slightly better came out. No its nowhere nearly different enough for me to bother or be bothered. Technology changes but steam decks selling point was never that it would be bleeding edge technology (in fact there are many devices out with far higher specs) . It's a well thought out ergonomic device with great ecosystem. And the killer feature for many is the flawless sleep system which is there in our og unit :). Hopefully you don't end up too bummed out for too long that something slightly better came out two years later.
> "this definition would include hosting or embedding Redis as part of a solution that is sold competitively"

I interpret this as "You can't sell Redis as a Service".

You can make any number of applications that use Redis and host the instances yourself, you just can't package Redis and sell/rent a miraculixx-branded version of it.
You are saying a regular app on non jailbroken ios can choose to bypass the profile & custom CA when working with TLS?
Great to see we have alternatives. I think Redis management doesn't understand how people choose software these days.
What you say makes some sense, but I can think of some situations that would invalidate it, and there are probably others, but this is what I can think of right now:

(1) What if China were to believe the war was "winnable" eg, they could take over so quickly due to overwhelming military power or due to being welcomed by some of the population or something, as to avoid huge damage. Then it wouldn't matter. BTW, this is what is meant by "deterrence", and in US domestic policy, the china-related fearmongering is clearly aimed at increasing deterrence.... which could only possibly decrease the chance of conflict even more, so what's the problem?

(2) What if China's leadership were to believe a distraction is necessary from domestic politics? Then, also, these mutual investments wouldn't matter.
Alternative title: Redis is no longer open source but rather source available.
And this is why it is a bad idea for open source contributors to transfer their copyright.

If hundreds of commits are baked into a software - under an open source license but without the full copyright transferred to a central legal entity - then it becomes impossible to change the license post-hoc.

Is "red meat" categorically bad for us, or is it merely bad for us in the corrupt, bastardized form that it usually takes in modern diets?

I'm no nutritionist, but intuition would suggest that it's actually quite healthy to eat the same animals that humans have been chomping on since the dawn of time. Maybe the problem isn't that we eat cows, it's that we eat mutant freak factory-farmed cows that have been pumped full of hormones, raised on diets of toxic garbage and tortured for most of their short lives? I'm only guessing.

With that being said, the thing that concerns me most about lab-grown meat isn't whether it's healthy, it's that if it ever gets popular then it's going to be controlled by a tiny handful of multinational megacorps who'll use it to crush independent food producers worldwide and enforce a brutal centralized control of something as basic to human survival our everyday protein consumption. They're the last people on earth we should trust to keep us healthy and satiated, and their claims that they're doing it for our or the environment's benefit (and not just their own greedy empowerment and profiteering) should be treated with extreme scepticism.
As one of eleven, I think it's a couple things.

One is Utah was a rural state until fairly recently, so big families and farming kind of go together.

Another is a bit more 'soft' doctrinal. The general teaching in the 60s/70s as other groups were losing their big families, the LDS/Mormon idea of the pre-existence of human spirits and the importance of the instruction to Adam and Eve to:

"Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it"

was taken as a literal instruction for members, with general counsel to avoid birth control and a prohibition on abortion.

My parents never tried anything beyond the rhythm method to control their family size.

Current generations still refrain from abortion (generally) but otherwise aren't too concerned about using artificial methods in limiting the size of their families, especially as the expense of big families has multiplied.

Still bigger than average, but the gap is much smaller, and shrinking.
> 2. This will eventually get them sued in international court when one of their projects affects surrounding countries. The ocean is filled with butterfly effects.

That's bizarre. Do you really think the Dutch will at some point get sued because of the dikes they have built to keep out the water? Maybe somebody should warn them, I can assure you that nobody in the Netherlands has ever considered that possibility ..
You means this?

One of my most favorite details from the article is the use of Polaroid in professional portrait photography:

> I put a Polaroid back on the Hasselblad camera to start with some test shots.”

> In the old days of film, a kind of early “chimping” was still prevalent, especially on 120 film shoots. Many Hasselblad shooters, including Anderson, would knock off Polaroids to see or show the client 21/4x21/4 proofs.

Another fun fact: Ansel Adams shot President Carter’s portrait of office with a large format Polaroid.
I'm assuming people are forking this as we speak. Kind of sad to see companies cut themselves off from their own developer communities.

I understand why they do it. I just don't agree it works long term.

Most Redis users have never paid the company behind it even a single cent. Me included. So, I can appreciate them doing this in order to make some money. Except it won't change my behavior; I'll just use the fork. Just like the vast majority of other Redis users, external Redis contributors, all of the cloud providers currently offering Redis commercially, and by the time this runs it course probably a fair bit of current Redis employees.

Given the large amount of commercial users and cloud providers offering Redis, I don't think it will take long for them to get organized even. They pretty much have to given that they have lots of users paying them for this.

There are some precedents with Terraform, Elasticsearch, Red Hat, and a few other big players now dealing with a lot of their target users and potential customers depending on open source forks. As a business strategy alienating future users like that seems misguided.

When Oracle took ownership of Sun's open source projects (including such things as mysql, hudson, openoffice, etc.), they quickly lost control of most of that. Oracle's attempts to convince the world to use their closed source offerings never amounted to much. Even with Java, they more or less gave in and openjdk is where the action is these days. Except for a few banks, very few people use the Oracle JDK. There's no need, Oracle has long ago stopped pretending there's any advantage to that. All the development happens on OpenJDK. There are half a dozen different companies offering certified builds.

Anecdotically, I consult on Elasticsearch and Opensearch. Most of my recent clients default to Opensearch. It's just the way it is. They all go for the free and open source option.

The point here is that this can only end in one way: the creation of a Redis fork that will be used by the vast majority of current Redis users.
What if I'm willing to forgo my privacy in exchange for money? There's no real difference between saving $10 and getting paid $10, so "privacy should be a right, and not a premium tier" is fundamentally incompatible with "people should be allowed to voluntarily sell their data".

Java is forever stuck in my head as a bad language because it's UI library performance were so bad. I grew up being annoyed with anything written in Java because of its poor performance on Mac OS X. Notable was the persistent UI lag with anything written in Java.
The "few sources" here being tiny mom & pop shops like AWS and GCP.

I think they can manage.
Developers are entirely to blame - the fraction of developers meaningfully contributing to FOSS or advocating for supporting it is tiny. Just ‘import foo’ and holy smokes - free shit, yes please!
Garnet was released a few days ago, how exactly is it making Redis lose its edge in performance?
