Open source licensing is vastly too complicated. IMHO it needs a menu-like system similar to the Creative Commons options. I think OSI should bite the bullet and lead the way on this change: work with the community to define the options and

It would be useful to indicate whether higher results are better or not for each of the tests. From what I know, Speedometer: higher is better; ARES-6: lower is better.

Why not look it up before you assert someone is wrong? It's explained in detail in [0]. It's clear that visa is used as a past participle, not as a noun, and it's applied in the singular. There is no support anywhere for the

The visa thing sounds like a back-formation unique to your mother tongue. The word "visa" is the past participle of videre (Latin for "to see"). So it is not a plural in its formation/derivation.

It's a curious purgatory the project is in, which I think would make it difficult to attract developers. On one hand, a user base wants the old product with minimal twists and they are known to balk at anything more than that. On the o

Great link! >13. Design is based on requirements. There's no justification for designing something one bit "better" than the requirements dictate. This is YAGNI stated a different way.

Yes, it is. The owners can issue the software/code under any license they please. However, a change in license works forward in time only, not retroactively. So, if you download the software today under the MIT, that download is foreve

Any source for this? Not disputing it, but would like to see some evidence.

I have long felt that death certificates are done completely wrong. Instead of just listing the proximate medical cause, they should list the true cause: he died of loneliness; he died of a broken heart; he died because he was homeless and

Unlikely. Most of the acquiring companies, including Red Hat have fiscal years that don't end on Dec 31.

Huge changes in computing and technology, driven by the cloud in good part: big data, AI and machine learning, chatbots, and containers, microservices, etc. The major players all want a part of these so are acquiring innovators in each of t

I think the moderators do an excellent job on HN. The signal to noise ratio is pretty high here and while there is snark, there's far less than in most other forums.

It's not retribution. IMHO, it's a response to posting something that does not advance the conversation. Nobody gains any knowledge about the product or the market niche by knowing that you're rejoicing. While this might not

I would agree with that assessment. When I went, I attended in a huge room with hundreds of other people. It was not a seminar in the sense of being able to interact with the teacher, but a lecture. And the lecture did not present a sequenc

This is largely done by private companies in the US. In the past, ATT Bell Labs and Xerox PARC were shining examples. Today, every major technology company has labs and other internal organizations contributing research to new technologies:

Much of what this article says seems familiar from reading other pieces on this topic, but what was truly new (to me, at least) was the role that exercise/activity in making it possible to anchor and retain what is learned.
