> Technically the Apache License that Elasticsearch was using allowed that, but ethics should have prevented it.

The license conveys the intent of the authors. If the license explicitly allows something like "reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form" then clearly the authors who picked that license wanted people to be able to do those things. If they didn't want that, they'd have picked a different license to begin with. If you don't want companies to take your work and close the source, distributing it only in object form, then don't use a license that indicates you want that to be possible.

Cloud services are harder, since they don't involve distributing copies of the work, so an EULA like the AGPL is needed instead of just a copyright/patent/trademark license. But when they started they didn't pick one of these licenses, they picked a license that clearly indicated intent to allow their work to be closed & sold.

They instead picked one license, then complained when companies did what they intended them to be able to do, and swapped to a different license. This is why people blame MongoDB and nobody blames AWS. It's a "bait and switch" on MongoDB's part, not on AWS's.
I didn't mention Algorand because its overall network is a blip compared with Ethereum and Solana in any metric, and it can barely be considered as Battle-Tester in a "real world" scenario.
I would say it's similar to Linux:

It's a free, solid foundational technology, guided by steady hands.

In a software economy full of profiteers, charlatans, and marketing babble, the project is providing real value to users.
By that definition Windows is open source. The Linux kernel, Vim, and Microsoft Windows are all "open source" because all of them are "source is available" + conditions.

Do you think this is the definition of open source that people use?
It feels like we already solved this with cigarettes... we've mostly agreed that we can't/shouldn't make them illegal, but we absolutely made it illegal to advertise them, we put huge taxes on them, required huge warning labels on boxes, etc.
I've nothing against Postgres but MySQL is a wonderful option that is likely still in far higher and heavier use, when considering open source databases.
"Getting Jeff'd" is only an existential crisis if your goal is to own the majority of the pie. Postgres's contributors come from a bunch of different companies who all manage to make enough money off of Postgres to pay them [0]. That is the only financial metric that really matters for funding a FOSS project.

The problem with these companies is that they actually were trying to make large returns for shareholders rather than simply earn enough to keep paying the developers.

Unfortunately even if you have a "zero sniffles and max masking" policy schools are just a breeding ground for germ transmission. You're usually "infectious" before you're symptomatic, so it spreads like wildfire anyway.

School sicknesses are so common that it might almost be argued that the point of public education is to make sure everyone is exposed to as many diseases as possible.

I wonder if small planes aren't actually far more dangerous than motorcycles. A significant minority of motorcycles are operated by thrill-seeking people who routinely drive recklessly and avoid wearing safety equipment. They tend to be young, inexperienced, and unconcerned with risk. Pilots, on the other hand, tend to be serious, careful people. They use checklists. They have to undergo extensive, supervised training. Pilots have a culture of understanding and mitigating risk. For all those differences, the mortality rates are almost the same.

Mobile gambling apps should be outright illegal nationwide. The degree to which mobile app makers have hacked people's psychology to get them to spend hours doing things that are counter to the person's own goals is insane. Mixing that with its own separately extremely addictive behavior, gambling, is a recipe for disaster. Where it gets really, really nasty is that it's quite hard to maintain and hide a gambling addiction when you have to go to the casino or track so often. But now you can get roped into this family-destroying activity from the couch sitting right beside your partner. Your drug dealer is perpetually a mere one click away, and dangling huge incentives in front of you from every TV screen in the country.

Politicians actively broadening access to these sorts of services should be (journalistically) investigated for bribery and/or their own gambling addiction. It is so blatantly anti-social so as to be indefensible.

At university level not insignificant amount of students are there because they have to. The course is mandatory. And they might only want to pass. They are not getting degree because they want education, but because it is perceived as needed in society. Now should these be ignored or not is a discussion to have.
Just my opinion, but I think that actually smart people appreciate the elegance of a simple solution to a problem that looks hard at first sight. It's the people that aren't so smart but want to sound smarter that are incentivized to make their results look harder than what they actually are.
Kids don't want to be at school, teachers don't want to be at school, local residents don't want to fund schools.

In NYC public school reading/math comprehension is at 50%. They fail as measured by their own grading scale every year. In aggregate, public schools are always lagging behind their private counterparts.

> In the case of the sun, it is too far away and interacts very little with other celestial bodies, there can be no evolution for suns, they don't iterate fast enough and don't transmit their data into the future like DNA.

I'm not sure I agree here.

For starters, for all we know there is a complicated underlying order and evolution of a population of self-replicating eddy currents in the magnetohydrodynamics of plasmas in the sun or something. It's probably unlikely due to the rapid thermalization of things with that much energy in one place, but I'm not sure we can rule it out entirely.

We shouldn't limit ourselves to the typical energy, length, and time scales that are familiar to us when trying to look for consciousness or life. (And certainly not to chemistry alone, let alone carbon chemistry at temperatures and pressures near STP) The universe contains an enormous range of orders of magnitude of interesting interactions that could perhaps have a sufficiently complicated state space to support some sort of self-replicating.

In general however, I do tend to agree that any consciousness is the result of evolving self-replication.

Man i have a whole grave yard of projects that failed, most of the time the problem is i can build it but i cant sell it :D so not even sure if it could sell if i knew how.

On the other hand i did gain some fulfilment while building my projects, sometimes learned something and sometimes even earned some money in a different way
I agree with your first point.

In my experience, it takes a special kind of junior engineer and a commitment from the company to have them mentored successfully in a remote environment. Whereas an in-person environment has tons of opportunities to learn not just the explicit skills (how to write a for loop on Python, how do deploy our software) but the implicit skills (how to move around the terminal, how to architect a solution in a consistent way). That's to say nothing of the knowledge osmosis that happens when you can overhear conversations about adjacent parts of the application. (Yes, you can make this all explicit and available online, but that is a culture shift.)

There are other ways to deal with these lacks (on-sites, focused on onboarding docs, regular office hours) but they take more effort. Whether they are worth the trade-off (you certainly have access to a wider pool of labor when you hire remote) depends on the company, industry, and job market.

I think we are seeing a similar spike across all backgrounds - other news stories in this press cycle have highlighted that one thing unusual about this surge in absences is that it's affecting affluent and poor districts alike, and that well-off kids are missing school too.

Anecdotally that seems to be the case in my kids' school district (although one complicating factor is that a lot of kids have family back in India or China and go back for long absences at winter break), and the culprit is generally illnesses, which have been extremely rough the past 2 winters.
You can use it to easily fix voice overs on you videos without needing to re-record etc.
This is exactly true. The doomerism might affect a few, and I'd suspect more in college, but at the elementary and high school level there are much simpler and obvious explanations.

I had this as a kid, hooked up along side the voice synthesizer.

I never had a reason to actually buy an expansion card, but having the disk drive was nice, and I was the only kid I knew with a disk drive vs tape- the local library even had the ability to check out TI shareware type software via cassette.

Great platform, other than some clunky decisions up front that crippled the hardware so it didn't compete with business lines, and trying to keep out 3rd party developers.
That adressing throughput not costs. If you keep costs contant, lower prices but acchive higher throughput, the only thing you acchieve is to lose money faster than you would have done otherwise by just lowering costs straight away.
If anything will get us out of this ad-ridden hellhole of the centralized internet, I think it'll be cryptocurrency that allows users to transfer tiny amounts of money to a site instead of an ad platform paying the site fractions of a cent for my view.

I feel that people that graduated high school in 2020 had the worst experience (at least in the US) of any cohort in at least 50 years. They didn't get to experience really the end of high school, and those that started college in the fall didn't really get to experience the beginning of college, when many people make lifelong friends. Now they're graduating in 2024, where the vibe on many campuses is one of division, suspicion and despair over the Israel/Gaza war, and they're likely to see greatly diminished economic prospects (especially compared to anyone who graduated college in tech from say 2010 to 2021). Not to mention the general "vibe in the air" is one of pessimism in the US.

I have a ton of empathy for these people, and it makes me count my lucky stars for being a Gen Xer. Honestly, I feel like Gen X is the luckiest of all the generations. People generally don't blame us for f'ing everything up, we had the luck of growing up before the Internet and smartphones where we still got to just play and have relatively unstructured "kid lives", many of us graduated into the booming, optimistic 90s. Many of us got to buy houses before they became unobtainably expensive. Sure, we had the epidemic of parental divorce, and if anything that hope of the 90s has, at least for me, turned to jadedness in many areas, but I just feel so lucky to have been born when I was.
This!

We don't send our kid to school with fever. Sending your kid to school with a low fever used to be very normal. But post-COVID we are more tempted to check the temperature when the head feels warm. But actually the better way to 'measure' a fever is how much a child is playing and energetic.

Podman doesn't expose an interface for enabling kernel modules. The error message is intentionally intended to discourage users from doing administration on systems, just like the other similar messages you'll get about trying to use "privileged" ports (<1024).

Am sure you can get over the kernel module tun creation and other limitations by using something like --privileged but at that point, why not just use docker if you are going to run containers "insecurely".

And for the sake of this argument, drop-in replacement means I can take my tools and move them over to the alternative with little to no extra work needed on my part.
They count doing the remote stuff as truancy?

Given that I would do as much of my course work as fast as I could so I could slack off the rest of the time, if I'd've had distance learning as an option in high school I'd've been all over it (and perhaps learned not to double contract).
that's awesome! we have to drive about 2 hours to path of totality.
Hoo boy. I did this once. Only it was CouchDB. And they didn’t use any schema. Data had accumulated in it for years. Then a customer said they wanted their data exported to PowerBI.

I used a library that generated a type that could parse any JSON document you threw at it by feeding it examples. So I wrote some tools to scan through the database, generate parse test cases, etc.

I then wrote a library to version and migrate records.

With this I wrote some tools to start extracting meaningful bits out of the big-blob type. I could scan the database, download examples that didn’t work, make test cases, fix those, ask the experts in the system, etc.

Then eventually it started spitting out structured data into Postgres and from there into PowerBI.

Decent article.
My colds typically last 3 weeks with about 7-10 days of them being full-on. I also have an (obviously) terrible immune system and get quite a few per year.

Obviously it’s not doable to stay away from school that much, and I only did when I had a fever or was puking. That said, there were probably some years I at least got close to that 18 days. I would think the few years I went on a vacation I definitely went over it.

Thanks for sharing your experience, but it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth: although well motivated, I find the outcome to be unfortunate.

Text to speech is very close to being able to replace voice actors for a lot of lower budget content. Voice cloning will let directors and creators get just the sound they want for their characters, imagine being able to say "I want something that sounds like Harrison Ford with a French accent." Of course, there are going to be debates about how closely you can clone someone's voice/diction/etc, both extremes are wrong - perfect cloning will hurt artists without bringing extra value to directors/creators, but if we outlaw things that sound similar the technology will be neutered to uselessness.
Comments like this make be curious how many people understand the carbon cycle and it's relationship to global warming. CO2 isn't just a byproduct of combustion like sulfur or the particles in smoke, it's an essential part of the chemical release of energy that drives our society.

Plants take in sunlight (energy) + co2 + h2o, and chemically use the energy to break down the co2 and h2o in to complex hydrocarbons they use build their structure and store energy and release o2.

When you add o2 back to the hydrocarbons through combustion, you undo the process getting energy + co2 + h2o.

Hydrocarbons, from table sugar to crude oil, are really just solar batteries. They store energy captured by the sun, and then release this when combined with oxygen.

But as you can see co2 is a necessary part of the process and you cannot simply undo the process without taking more energy than you got in the first place (since nothing is 100% efficient). This is why "carbon capture" is a fundamentally tricky problem. In order for it to be successful you need more energy than you started with, and clearly cannot get that energy from fossil fuels (even indirectly) or you ultimately make the problem worse.
See a therapist. Seriously. You are okay no matter what. You are loved and fun and a great person. The only thing missing is you seeing that. A therapist is one of many routes towards that. Life is too short to try to "be like you guys".
Not really, the constant zooming is pretty awkward. I know this is the wrong opinion to have on HN, but at least having the content scale to the viewport appropriately is a much nicer experience.

I used postgres in the 90s. The biggest complaint was that postgres's default config needed a change so you could connect to it remotely, as the default, wisely at the time, decided that allowing connections from any IP by default before you changed any security setting whatsoever was a real problem.

The MySQL performance advantages were large, with the small caveat that it was fast as long as you were using MyISAM, which achieved its speed by throwing away many safety features, like working transactions and foreign key constraints. Unsurprisingly, when eventually it got an engine that didn't throw caution to the wind, the performance advantage went away.

I spent a lot of time in the early 2000s showing people whose that many of the issues they were facing with their e-commerce websites were ultimately down to the MySQL engine they had picked. But it's faster! Yes it is, but now your application code has to deal with all the things the engine has now offloaded to your application code.

It's not that Postgres' changes were key to increasing market share, but that as MySQL matured, it had no options but to lose its 'advantages'.
For the question of whether “shift” removes and “unshift” adds or vice versa, it doesn’t matter if it’s left or right shift. Yes, the bookshelf analogy doesn’t tell you at which end the removal or addition occurs. But as I said, I didn’t think this was the question being asked, and if it is being asked, then it can be answered with the index shifting and the comparison to push/pop.
Here's the current best estimate of sea level rise (note we are on the strong emissions timeline and all fossil fuel producers plan to keep production at current rates for their foreseeable future of ~30 years):

> " In its 2019 report, the IPCC projected (chart above) 0.6 to 1.1 meters (1 to 3 feet) of global sea level rise by 2100 (or about 15 millimeters per year) if greenhouse gas emissions remain at high rates (RCP8.5). By 2300, seas could stand as much as 5 meters higher under the worst-case scenario. If countries do cut their emissions significantly (RCP2.6), the IPCC expects 0.3 to 0.6 meters of sea level rise by 2100."

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/148494/anticipating...

The lower emissions route would require the phaseout of fossil fuels over 30 years, meaning ~3.3% per year replacement rate with renewables, and even then sea level rise is only cut in half. The trigger has been pulled, the tipping point is in the past, and now we have to deal with the long term consequences, which are going to be expensive and disruptive. Pliocene, here we come!
