Let's say you upload the video to YouTube. You don't monetize it. But you have it linked to a channel that has completely legal videos being monetized. Being that someone could be drawn to the other videos by first watching your video, should it be considered to be monetized?

Or let's say you upload the video to YouTube. This is your only video, you don't monetize it. But by YouTube hosting it, people go to YouTube where they will now see other videos on the side bar. They click one and it is monetized. Because of your video, YouTube made some money (even if it is a fraction of a penny).

What if you used the video in a portfolio to get a job. Maybe it was the pièce de résistance that won you the job. You used it to secure financial gain... should that count as commercial use?

How can it be a conflict of interest if it is in the end their own money? They get to spend it any way they want it and of course they will spend it on those that they know better more readily than elsewhere.

It's not as if VCs are distributing public funds and those VCs that have taken public funds (or pension funds) would likely never engage in a deal like this.

If you think you're 'in competition' with the VCs partners for capital you have it backwards, they have the capital and they can dispense it at their discretion, or even not at all.
GitHub wins! I think it's good that Google indirectly admitted their service is not as good as Github, now they need to do the same thing about Google+. Google, you are an amazing company but sorry you can't possibly be the best at everything.
In addition to Github, we also use Atlasssian Stash. And let me tell you: I am not afraid of the Github monoculture.
In the study you linked to Clojure code is basically as bug free as Haskell and Scala code and Erlang code isn't far behind.

What do you mean intent can't be measured? Of course intent can be measured, if one cares to do so. It's called asking a question / taking a deposition. If a person says "I was making an art project" and they monetize it, then the flight itself isn't actually the product. If the flight was for enjoyment and the video was a byproduct then how, logically, can one be prevented from monetizing it? I know this is really a fine line but art and commerce are often at odds in such respects.
Wish I knew. But if it were me I'd be leery of moving too far away from "where the jobs are," even if I had to live somewhere more affordable on the periphery, or with family as many do/are.

This has also been a point of consideration in taking a remote job and living...remotely. Or that job in a dream locale without a strong marketplace--what if it doesn't work out?

OTOH this (and essentially all) advice is meaningless, and you should do what you want. Maybe one person plays it safe and stays comfortably employed yet miserable, while another moves to some far-flung destination, earns little but has a blast. Who knows?

Show HN: I wrote my own lightweight markup language for mathy blogs
I wrote my own lightweight markup language, similar to Markdown, that compiles to both HTML5 and LaTeX, supports LaTeX equations (through svgtex, i.e. serverside MathJax), references, captioned figures with semantically correct <figure> tag in html, syntax highlighted code blocks, and so on.

The code is very hacky (I wrote it for my own use after all) and might crash if the syntax is not exactly right.

This does not fly (heh) with my current understanding of "commercial use" in regards to photography, which I wouldn't consider much different than video.

I can enter a US National Park without any specific permit and take a photo of a natural feature. I can sell prints of this photo for a profit. This is not a "commercial use" of the photo.

I can't enter said park without permit and with the intention to shoot promotional photos of my new super nature product. These photos would be used to sell said product. This is a commercial use.

The distinction is profiting from the work itself or using the work to generate profit on something else.
Downvote for truth!

Reasonably a drone flying at 50 - 100ft is of no danger to full size aircraft unless it's within a airports flight path which is illegal anyway. There are 40k deaths in cars each year and yet even with widespread use of model aircraft over the past 50years I've yet to hear about one taking down a full size plane.

I'm a pilot too, so I sympathize with your position. But I think there's room for a more reasonable accommodation than simply requiring everyone who flies a drone to get a pilots license, e.g. license-free operation of drones less than a certain weight in uncontrolled airspace, under a certain altitude, and a certain distance from airports.

Pinning the shift to an exact date like 1610 is silly, but I do agree with the basic premise of their argument. In fact, it's essentially why I chose to specialize in the history of the seventeenth century. Just from looking at the famous "hockey stick" graph of world population you can see that this was the period immediately preceding the shift into exponential growth - but what's fascinating is that populations actually declined in many areas in the seventeenth century, as did standards of living. Speaking of which, Eric Hobsbawm's concept of a "General Crisis of the Seventeenth Century" seems relevant here:

If you use a third-party song in your video, monetization is turned on automatically but not for you. Your logic falls down when you understand YouTube's ad system. An ad can run on your video in any number of circumstances, monetized or not.

I am directly impacted by this due to my work to educate folks about proper, safe drone usage given media mischaracterization and fearmongering (like that recent Audi ad) about drones. All of my videos are artistic in nature and work to educate the public on the positive, market-generating usages of drones, such as aerial filmmaking, land survey, search and rescue, and other uses. Your comment smacks of lacking all of the context around FAA enforcement against drone fliers in recent years, and rushing to defend an agency that has burned all positive relationships it ever had with the hobbyist industry, both drones and otherwise.

The FAA has repeatedly missed deadlines to get its shit together, and is on track to miss another that was set by Congress for the end of this year. In the meantime, they've devoted their resources to pursuing drone fliers in court (and losing, quite dramatically, on taxpayer dollars) and sending toothless cease and desist notices like this. Nobody with an ounce of common sense can possibly conclude what you have, that a YouTube ad suddenly makes the flight commercial. If a private pilot records the view out of his cockpit window and then puts ads on the video on YouTube, he's not suddenly a (potentially unlicensed) commercial operator.

It follows that this action is just another excuse for the FAA to harass drone pilots and people attempting to build a multi-million dollar industry in the United States. Nothing about this is sane, and the FAA is repeatedly demonstrating that it's happy to service those with money and who can make noise in government -- the sudden (and rapid) creation of the certification exemption program for law enforcement after DHS started flying Predators over the border, for example -- while pinching the rest of us in court. You shouldn't make any attempt to defend the FAA; most people (me included) who really want to make something of UAS are already looking to other nations and have begun operating under more progressive regulatory schemes.
Option though, There just seems to be some maddening aversion to making the defaults do one useful thing. The decision seems so paralyzed by being all things to all people.
My friends and I have a term, narp, for "Not a real problem" for exactly these cases. It can also be used a verb, you can say someone is narping when they are devoting time to solving non-real problems.

Sure these are problems, but they are limited to a very specific demographic in many cases. Let's not pretend that working on these is more meaningful than it actually is.

I'll come right out and say that I despise Go. It's a terrible language that ignores decades of language research and brings nothing new to the field, but has become popular due to Google hype.

That said, Go -> Racket is a pretty big jump. Even though I think Go is terrible, I can at least take the time to see the problems it's solving and offer comparable languages. I suggest Rust as a Go replacement.

Don't get me wrong, Racket is pretty good. It's not the Lisp I would pick (I really like Gambit Scheme) but it's at least a Lisp. But a high-level language like Racket isn't really comparable to Go. They're just in different spaces.

How Much Did the Musicians of Woodstock Get Paid?
Sorry if I was unclear. I meant holders of non-commercial private pilot's licenses. You see a lot of things like people posting videos recorded during their private flights online. e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPbOQZAymOU

I'd think this interpretation of commercial use would logically apply that as well (and be equally ridiculous).
> If you want truly reliable software and have the budget, then you just need to throw process at the problem -- it doesn't matter much which language you use.

I also generally agree with your comment, but I have to take issue with this statement. If this were true, Ericsson wouldn’t have had to abandon the AXE-N project.

Quoting from Joe Armstrong’s PhD thesis[1]:

“1995: The AXE-N project was a project to build a “next generation switch” to replace the Ericsson AXE-10. This extremely large project ran from 1987-95. After the AXE-N project collapsed a decision was made to “restart” the project using Erlang. This project eventually resulted in the development of the AXD301 switch.”

“During the period 1996–1997 a three-person group (myself, Magnus Fröberg and Martin Björklund) redesigned and implemented the OTP core libraries.”

“1998: Ericsson delivered the first AXD301. The AXD301 is the subject of one of our case studies in Chapter 8. At the time of writing (2003) the AXD301 has over 1.7 million lines of Erlang code which probably makes it the largest system ever to be written in a functional style of programming.”

That's an extremist position. What if I want to build model rockets? They go into the sky, but the commercially available stuff doesn't go high enough to normally affect airplanes so they're legal and unlicensed and have been for decades. Same for model airplanes, and model helicopters, and until we slapped the word 'drone' on quadcopters and strapped on good video cameras they weren't a concern either.

Likewise, I'll take the opposite extreme position that if you want to fly airplanes over populated locations, stay more than a couple thousand feet away as well, you're noisy and small aircraft and their pilots don't have quite the safety record that large ones do. How many people have quadcopter operators killed compared to small aircraft pilots? Seems like the answer should be that pilots of small aircraft, the planes vulnerable to small impacts and the pilots actually killing people should be kept away from the populace. What's the utility of allowing small aircraft to fly over my house anyways?

There's definitely room for both activities in the air.
This wired article tries to rewrite the history:

> rather geeky and sometimes unreliable internet site called SourceForge

Wtf. SourceForge was for a long time very decent. It wasn't geeky nor unreliable, it offered CVS and later Subversion, web hosting, mailing list hosting, forums and downloads.

GoogleCode itself was geeky with its very basic "Wiki", but it had a leaner "GMail style" UI, with only basic features so newer projects used it over SourceForge.

"Bidding farewell to Google Code", that's a rather nice wording for closing down a web service. Please archive orphan open source projects to a read-only SVN/GIT repo or donate the data to archive.org.

It reminds us that more open source projects should host the code on their servers, e.g. using Gitlab. In some years SourceForge and GitHub may get closed down too. Some orphan project of great value may get lost of the digital dark age.
There are some fairly major online video productions that feature RC aircraft heavily. http://flitetest.com/ is a major YouTube channel dedicated to model aviation. Ever major tech journalism sites has probably covered consumer-ready aircraft like DJI's products.

That there could be legal challenges for these companies is rage-inducing. It is completely ludicrous. It's a waste of everyone's time and money (both taxpayers paying for the bureaucracy, and the companies defending the legal challenges), and does absolutely nothing for safety.
OK, I want to send you XX mbps and you want to receive it. You pay Comcast. Am I now entitled to a free connection?

It seems that the real complication is the Comcast has such a huge marketshare that they don't need to be competitive on peering. Whereas if they had real competition, then subscribers would drop Comcast and go with an ISP that peers better.

From "Effective Go":

"We must return the slice afterwards because, although Append can modify the elements of slice, the slice itself (the run-time data structure holding the pointer, length, and capacity) is passed by value."
I just wanted to say I love the blog posts on the enterprise portion of the site. Each release's page is an awesome snapshot of what you guys were focused on for that release and everything, right down to the screen shots, is beautiful.

Reputation-based group moderation results in popular opinions existing and unpopular opinions being crushed out of view. See: Reddit 'hive mind' phenomenon.

Also, if you're talking about users gaining reputation, it doesn't really make a difference in HN/Reddit (I never look at someone's karma), and if you add in a system like StackOverflow's, it becomes an awful grindy treadmill of groupthink.
In addition to other people's comments, I'd suggest Haskell is closer to being lambda calculus, due to aspiring to support "equational reasoning". It isn't "just lambda calculus" when you get right down to it, but then I don't know anything that is.

Incredible. I learned LA in school but it didn't click 100% until I watched Strang's lectures. I think they are ideal for someone who's already reasonably comfortable with matrices and vectors, but wants to see that higher connection and beauty. His lecture deriving the determinant from a few simple properties is magical to me. His emphasis on the fundamental subspaces of a matrix, and the geometric interpretation over the equation-solving one, are ideal for anyone who thinks visually/spatially.

That was the first online lecture series I ever watched, and I've been hooked ever since. I am overflowing with gratitude that so many professors at the world's best schools have put their lectures online. It is so good for a student like me, who went to a liberal arts school that didn't offer many advanced math or CS courses, and learns better from lectures than books. Strang's Linear Algebra course was one of the first way back in 2002. You're right, he is a wonderful teacher.
> GitLab is faster in on some pages. The commit page probably is slower, but not by so much:

For the initial HTTP request maybe and if you're in the US. Gitlab is painfully slow when loaded from a European network connection and you factor in the time it takes to fetch all resources. Cached or uncached.

> GitLab doesn't have preview support for as many features as GitHub, but it has many other features GitHub doesn't have such as protected branches and git-annex support (version large binaries with git).

Neither of which are important for Open Source projects.

> We understand if people place open source projects on GitHub, they have way more registered users. But some people choose GitLab and their numbers are growing.

I think Gitlab is a reasonable website to use for commercial hosting; I just don't see it for Open Source software.
There is definitely something quite Lispy about responding to the question "What is Lisp?" with the word "homoiconicity" and then waiting for the person who asked to figure out what that actually means.
A sibling comment already pointed this out, but the existence of https://code.google.com/export-to-github/ and its explicit mention in the post along with the clear language that they did work with GitHub and Bitbucket, leads me to believe that you did not read the post.
It isn't very important I suppose, but the switching did interrupt my train of thought.

It is a shame we can't use "it" or another pronoun to avoid the issue entirely. They/their sometimes works but feels wrong when talking about a person in singular.
It is, but what's the problem? It's like you taking your money, assuming you earned it, and buying things for _your_ friends or _your_ family. So long as your husband/wife/partner is okay, why should that be a problem?

Should I think it's unfair you spend nothing on me?

The marketing-speak, it burns.

You turned your back on us. You lied. You and Marcin repeatedly told us that you were comitted to free software. I don't know if you lied to Marcin as well or if both of you knew that the GPL-ness of Rhodecode was going to disappear.

For a while you had an ambiguous licensing situation where you made it seem like Rhodecode was still somehow GPL'ed, but after a while you apparently tried to revoke permissions on everything. You even threatened with legal action someone who used the code under the GPL license you said you were allowing.

Oh, apparently you even went through with your legal threat:

https://github.com/moparisthebest/unlimit-code/blob/master/r...

And now you're talking about "engineers" and "enterprise" and "real" and "sophisticated".

bkuhn salvaged what he could without trying to get into the legalities of the GPL revoking you did (which the GPL itself forbids), but still I feel very betrayed by what you did with Rhodecode.
