To me, the pitch is take whatever you wanted to do with traditional technology and run a distributed lottery game for cash and prizes on top of it.

A database with a game show component for cash and prizes.

People want exactly this coupled with a bunch of hand waiving to obfuscate this reality so it has more emotional impact when you win the lottery. The traditional lottery is too obviously random with such poor odds. People want a more distributed lottery payout and crypto has delivered.

There is nothing wrong with this. No one pretends though that the state lottery is some mathematical investigation into the dynamics of a stochastic process. Playing the state lottery is not doing research in stochastic calculus. I suspect if the state lottery had started for the first time today though that is exactly how it would be marketed.

I think it is a bit odd that they ranted about SSPL without mentioning the AGPL for people that want to maintain users’ freedom without the complication of being (almost?) impossible to comply with. It’s almost as if they really just want to use free software without giving back.
Astro is more simple than NextJS in my opinion, though even that feels like overkill for an SSG that's only needed to keep the header/footer consistent.
Because you know it better? Same reason as for most technical decisions tbh.

Besides that, there are still some points where the MySQL and/or the tooling around it simply performs better than Postgres. Anything to do with replication and big table migrations comes to mind.

It will stay free and you can read the source code and change it.

BUT: Amazon, Google and Microsoft (et al) will have to pay if they offer Redis as part of their cloud.

Seems fair and any article not giving a voice to those being reported on is trash. Here you go, though:
Under the new license, CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDERS hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge.

But does the layer 2 coin have a stable exchange rate with the layer 1 coin?

And again, we are talking about just to pay to play the game. Today an arcade that uses dollars may charge you 50 cents for a life. Or the equivalent in tokens (layer 2). If suddenly the value of 50 cents could pay for 10 lives, do I need to now charge customers more tokens to play? How do I plan long term with hiring or my utilities if the price I could be paying month to month can fluctuate as much as cryptocurrency does?
You can skip chapters you already understand.

I don't know what textbooks you are reading, but almost every single one I have read tried very hard to present the content in a matter which focuses on understanding, unlike papers which focus on pure information.

I am afraid if you find either cryptic you have a serious lack in the prerequisite knowledge and that is what you need to focus on if you want to understand the subject. From first hand experience I can tell you that I have passed exams on a lot of things I have very little knowledge of right now. Textbooks are essentially the only way to reliable self study academic materials.

SSPL is not really comparable IMO. Check my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39862916 :

> SSPL includes most of the AGPLv3 ... but modifies its provisions for software that is conveyed over a network—requiring that anyone who offers the functionality of SSPL-licensed software to third-parties as a service must release the entirety of their source code, including all software, APIs, and other software that would be required for a user to run an instance of the service themselves, under the SSPL. In contrast, the AGPL v3's equivalent provision covers only the licensed work itself.

This just goes beyond anything reasonable IMO, they set terms that no-one could comply with so you need to negotiate to have it under a different license.

Beside the fact that it seems more like a "entertainment" use case rather than "functional", is it really ethical to use someone's voice without asking/having rights to use it?

Small concern, granted, but parent seems to have specifically asked for ethical use cases.
I met Simon once ages ago when I was due to speak at a PostgreSQL conference. It was my first time speaking at a conference and he was a nice bloke and gave me a bit of advice afterwards. He said not to worry about having to be entertaining, it's enough just to get the points across, that's what people were there for. I found that very reassuring!

That was the comment I replied to. If you thought OpenSource was pre-V1 public beta software I'm not sure why you're even opining on this.

I use GNU make and obsidian. Write content in markdown, feed it to https://github.com/commonmark/cmark to create html. I intended to splice files together using xslt but echo and cat written in the makefile sufficed.

Plumbing is a bit obfuscated, not sure I've written it down anywhere. I write/edit files in obsidian or emacs. The obsidian sync feature copies those to a pi5 which also runs obsidian. That stashes whatever is in the directory into a fossil repo as a backup / sync to other machines mechanism. Something runs make periodically to rebuild the site which gets copied back into obsidian and thus ends up back on whatever device I'm using to edit the files.

A simpler setup would involve committing markdown to a github repo and having a cron/make somewhere pull from that, rebuild the site, commit to the same or a different github repo.

Named parameters and nothing new and I like them. To this day I don’t understand why swift/objc have two names. I get that one is external, one internal so changing external breaks APIs. So is the only advantage that you can rename the parameter name for function implementation? So what? You can do that by a variable at the top of the function. Those two names make function signatures hard to read (which one is which etc)
I do scaling and performance work, mostly with Rails apps, but a significant amount of the work is database level and not language specific. I've used both postgres and MySQL (and a few other databases) going back to 2000.

The best thing I can hear from a company when I start is "We use Postgres". If they're using postgres then I know there's likely a far smoother path to performance than with MySQL. It has better tooling, better features, better metadata.
I think animals having conscious experience seems a reasonable opinion. Many animals display a lot of behaviours we have in common with them, they have similar senses, similar emotional responses, similar social behaviours, even similar reasoning abilities in a lot of contexts. Tye brain regions with activity associated with these behaviours correspond to equivalent regions in our brains.

Its true we have additional brain structures responsible for higher reasoning and linguistic abilities that other animals don’t share, but it seems likely that these features are layered on top of those other capabilities we inherited from our common ancestors with other mammals.

In support of this, there are some behaviours we share with other animals that are not conscious, or at least that are so automatic that we are essentially mere observers of our own behaviour. This includes many instinctive behaviours, and these are often shared with lower order animals that do not display sophisticated awareness of their own existence and that of others. It seems reasonable that we inherited those behaviours from common ancestors with such animals (lizards, frogs, etc) before self consciousness evolved.

Everyone that proposes MongoDB, Elasticsearch, or Graylog products directly to its customers is not allowed to do it. You have an API that exposes a route to a MongoDB change stream? BEEP! You are not allowed!

Is this right? I may have an overly good faith interpretation of the SSPL, but the word 'directly' implies to me that a Redis or MongoDB host/platform would be affected but not, say, a regular webapp that merely uses Redis as a background component.

Is a route in a webapp that uses a MongoDB change stream (to use the site's example) behind the scenes 'directly' providing MongoDB? I'd generously say no, but it feels like the sort of thing that lawyers would love to scrap over and I guess is part of why people are worried.
It's mostly interesting to me for artistic applications, like voicing NPC or video dialog, or maybe as a digital assistant voice. Being able to clone existing voices would be useful for parody or fanworks, but I suspect that it is also possible to mix aspects of multiple voices to synthesize new ones to taste.

We were very self-sufficient, autarchic, you could say, the only actual money that we were daily exchanging was for bread and stuff that was difficult to grow locally (this was a mountain village), such as tomatoes or melons, but those only during tomatoes/melons season and they were more like a "delicacy". Some money spent on clothes here and there, plus the monthly electricity bill and my grandpa's newspaper subscription.

Ah, and my grandma was also selling home-made tuica [1] on the side, so that was some other money that was getting exchanged, but not daily.

When my grandparents needed help during harvesting season they were also "hiring" some local people, but in many of those cases there wasn't actual money involved, people were keeping tabs on "I've worked this number of days for you to help you out with the harvesting which means you owe me this number of days in return to help me out with my harvesting in return", or there was tuica bartering involved, see the above point.

Charlie Bird, a very well know Irish journalist and broadcaster who recently passed away from motor neuron disease went through the process of getting a digitized version of his voice done as part of a TV program as he was losing his voice rapidly at the time. The result was very good as they had a large body of his news reports to train the model on. Most Irish people would be very familiar with his voice and the digitized version was very convincing. I would imagine something like this would be great for people who wouldn't have a huge volume of recordings to work off. A short video by the company that provided the tablet with his voice is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGjJHVUyi0M

One thing I’ve learned in all my years is that it’s ok to not be a zealot. You don’t need to pick a side. We should look at these things on a case by case basis. Sweeping dismissal of an approach discards the reasons behind such actions. SSPL is probably good for some companies that are trying to survive against cloud behemoths. It’s also bad when some companies want to take advantage of their contributors.
Not an expert, but briefly looking into this, MySQL is

1. easier to configure and manage

2. faster for read-heavy workloads

3. has pluggable storage engine (though, if you care about this, then 1. likely doesn't matter anymore)
Thank you, that was a great reply!

The copies that were created under BSD still are. Go fork and multiply. You can even make your contributions GPL or commercially licensed.
It wasn’t mentioned. I think they are referring to how the Jonathan’s bus is more similar to S-100 than a PC’s motherboard card bus. There was not a primary mother board that ran the bus like in Apple 2 or IBM PC

I ran TSR-80 systems and I never had a S-100, I was always fascinated how it could have multiple motherboards on it with different CPUs. I think S-100 was more similar to SCSI or Ethernet than to a PCI bus.

It is open source up until Redis 7.4. Why does it matter to you (someone that cares about it being open source) if future versions created by this specific company are not? You (or someone else) can fork it and continue the work in an open manner. AFAIAC that is the literal purpose of open source.
The page literally recommends the use of a copyleft license:

Author of the article here. There may be some scenarios where there's a company just tossing code over the wall under a FOSS license and people complain when it stops. This scenario is not that.

The company now known as Redis did not invent Redis, it started as a company trying to make money hosting other peoples' work. After it finally hired the creator of Redis, it specifically promised not to do what it has just done (move away from three-clause BSD as the license for Redis core) at least twice.

In the development cycle from 7.0.0 until a few days ago, Redis isn't even the majority contributor to the codebase. The largest single contributor is from Tencent. (All of this is in the article.)

If Redis had been doing all the development, had not promised it wouldn't move away from the license, then I might agree that people have little to complain about.

But this situation isn't as you've suggested here where a community is all about "take, take, take" from a company that's been doing all the work. The company was founded on the idea of trying to do what it now complains about Amazon doing, and their claims that cloud companies do not contribute is clearly false -- just look at the code contributions.
In principle I agree that SSPL is "bad", but I understand the reasons behind it. Plus, I don't like the way article 13 is described, the intent was to be sensational rather than an objective analysis.

I think MongoDB and Elastic did not expect that AWS would simply repackage their product and start offering it as a service becoming a competitor. Technically the Apache License that Elasticsearch was using allowed that, but ethics should have prevented it.

AWS could have approached the vendors for an OEM agreement or some sort of partnership which could have resulted in a "win-win" rather than pissing them off, up to the point that they had to come up with the nasty form of block that SSPL is.

People are often complaining that SSPL is created to please investors and bla bla bla, but at the end, even if the software was open source, the company was never supposed to be a no-profit, so I don't understand where the scandal is, and why everyone blames Elastic or MongoDB and nobody blames AWS.
