Let's leave copilot/AI aside for a moment. Do you actually have the necessary rights to upload some else's code to github? When you upload to github, you give it special rights not merely for redistribution and CI stuff. You

Good effort, and while I usually would like to see more GPL software, at least Apache2+MIT looks better than the little mess in sudo licensing: https://www.sudo.ws/sudo/license.html just a nitpick on their milestone4:

I'm starting a startup, and our model will be similar, but not properly open core. We will have a fully open source library and a source-available server which will be closer to "open source, but you pay for more than 100 accounts

You might have missed the part where this is already scaring Theo de Raadt, to the point of recommending EU users not use openSSH anymore. How many here are confident of writing software as securely as Theo? edit: I still think this is goin

I am highly in favor of {,A,L}GPL licenses, but my new library will be Apache2. I would not release on MIT or BSD. Apache2 is not that different, but at least has a patent clause. With MIT/BSD you are in "let's just hope&quot

Where do I find a literal translation of the bible? I would like one that does not force a meaning on words that are not known. I think have read enough fiction with made up words to be able to understand something anyway. Also, maybe not b

IMHO QUIC is nice, but a disappointment, since it could have been so much more. Does not handle unreliable messages, still only (multi)streaming, no direct support for multicast, 0-rtt which need a lot of stuff to be manually done TheRightW

The infrastructure/protocol will need to remain open, since this kind of thing works better the bigger the user base is. it will probably spin off to its own foundation as soon as it is viable. The income will come from another project

by Luker88 4y ago
yeah, thank you for the kind comments about not needing money (aka: my time as no value) and asking me to build the prototype with irony. As I said, the project was started a few years back, and since I did not have the time to work on it,

A few years ago (when QUIC was coming out) I was developing the theory of a new transport/encryption/authentication protocol. The focus was as much on transport as in the built-in federated authentication. There was not much inter

In CQL queries can fail even if your connection is still up and running. In this case it means that it could not write to 3 nodes, but it is not telling you if it did not write anything or at least once. Writing just once means that the dat

"write will fail"...but the data will still be there (you can SELECT it normally) and will be replicated to the node that was down once it is up again. Unless the node was down too much and could not fully catch up before a set ti

In no particular order: * LWT (Lightweight Transactions) are nothing like what you expect when you head "transactions". LWT are single row only. * error handling is asinine. E.g: A quorum insert fails. is the data there or not? Ma

by Luker88 4y ago
I only wrote that quorum is not a transaction (no transactions in cassandra), and that is not a consensus. While quorum looks a lot like consensus, it is not since what is returned to the client is the latest timestamp. Different nodes coul
137.
by Luker88 4y ago
True, which is why I said that cassandra has its uses. The problem is that the documentation and the language tries really hard to sell you something else, and I have seen multiple people wasting way too much time on this.
138.
by Luker88 4y ago
Couple of things as always: Cassandra works really bad with fat nodes (lots of data on one node), and much much better with a lot of small nodes, and 100PB with 300K nodes confirms this. Scylla scales better vertically, but don't know

I did a small discord bot 4-5 months ago with serenity, and while it worked, I found it was a mess. It felt like someone was trying to force functional programming on rust, with typenames from java. Sure it works but the code looked very ve

it's kind of a lie. The blockchains are huge and slow . So all it means is that you have a public/private key. You end up sending and receiving money by signing stuff you don't really verify, and trust some other 3rd party

Is rust in Linux a good opportunity to review the Linux licensing? For example, go Gplv2+ instead of just GPLv2? Or maybe just forcing developers to subscribe their DCO (Developers Certificate Of Origin) I remember a lot of kernel developer

No, I guess I wrote the message too quickly and explained poorly, my bad. I meant compiling a program and linking the crates as shared libraries. Kinda like a normal C/C++ program, and how the whole linux wolrd works. ...and I guess ev

I find I don't really care about that list, aside maybe trying to resolve the namesquatting problem in cargo. My reduced list includes only: * Strong typesafe wrapper types. We had a few RFCs, always dropped. This would actually change

Do they even care about the drivers though? I bought their m.2 dual tpu and the drivers are in a really bad state They got in the linux kernel, staging, then basically no work done. They continued the development off-tree, going out of sync

by Luker88 5y ago
Wonderful, but still disappointed that easy strict-type-wrapping is not a thing yet. There have been a few RFC trying to work on deriving a type from another, and while I agree it's much more complex than it sounds, I also find it&#x27

No, that is still banned. The problem is not whether it's private or government. The problem are multiple, but the main two problems found in an experiment with public facial rec. in an Italian city (Como, and now in Udine, too) are: *
