Yes, the point of open source is to share, so that others can take advantage of a solution to a given problem. Redis does not do that.

This fork is going to be BSD licensed, so all of the fixes and improvements can upstream to Redis. redict is LGPL licensed, so that can't happen. https://codeberg.org/redict/redict

The first worry as an American is having a pillar of your country's economy managed by incompetents.

Good for them, but haven't they still not figured out how to do an ethernet port yet?

A "microservice" solves scaling issues for huge companies. If you have 60 microservices, you should probably have 600 engineers (10 per) to deal with them. If you're completely underwater and have 10 services per engineer, yo

I'm reminded of these issues when I think about export controls on processors sold to China: I don't think it will have any effect. US-based programmers burn resources thoughtlessly. From what I've seen, Chinese developers of

Hasn't "most won't make it or will be acquired by big tech" been the story for the last 50 years?

I have nothing bad to say about Apache, and it felt kind of weird that people were investing time in replacing it when so many of the scripting languages that sat behind it were hot-garbage, top to bottom. I assume that "other" is

The Ramones were "punk" because their primary songwriter Dee-Dee was a male prostitute, the very definition of "punk."

by alrs 3y ago
Yes, punk was called new-wave in the late '70s. It was a reference to French cinema of the 1950s. "New Wave" didn't mean skinny ties and pink Trapper Keepers until the '80s. What you think of as New Wave was probabl

I'm old enough to think of that as boring-era Talking Heads, but it's great to know they've been in the same room together doing press after so many decades of shit-talk.

The youtube algorithm is very aggressively trying to get you to watch dumb shit, and you are correct that there is no way to opt-out. It's best at present to not engage with recommendations at all, and instead start following the RSS f

None of the people who hold IBM stock will be holding it in 10 years. None of the executives at IBM will be there in 10 years. Why would they bother?

If people can't figure out USENET and need consumer-gamer stuff like Discord, I wonder what "devops" ever meant.
