I am also an outside observer but it doesn't look to me as if the Meson issue was never finished, it looks as if it was held up and then new things were added to the main project, and the Meson build had to catch up, several times. Thi

The commit bit isn't about security, it's about control. There is no way open source projects can never give out commit bits again due to xz. And xz doesn't have an active team with multiple people in it so it doesn't re

I don't see how forcing someone out means you lack the majority? I would say generally the opposite is true. The majority wants someone out and they are able to force them out. >If you have the majority and leadership will not cede

When I tried it with Elixir around a year ago, it was pretty bad. Issues seemed to be caused by the fact that it parses the lockfile format, which is in Elixir, with Javascript. Dependabot doesn't have issues that (can) stem from that

Funny how they all used millions (?) of texts, without permission, to base their models on, and if you want to train your own model based on theirs which only works because of texts they used for free, that is prohibited.

Do you mean CLA? I said the same thing about the recent Redis change. Apparently, the old contributions are still under the old license, and new contributions will be GPL. Because the old license is MIT, those contributions can be incorpora

I agree though I wouldn't say I hate Mox, rather I hate working with it (the things it does do it does well). As you say it forces you to do stupid stuff, like creating an interface for something with one implementation, but also the w

Can they do this? Open source contributions to their codebase were under a different license. They don't have the copyright for those contributions without a CLA (I can't find one). So how can they relicense those contributions?

One of the authors has contributed to SWC. I wonder what caused them to build an alternative.

Erlang/OTP doesn't handle leader election, and by itself is bad at handling netsplits. There is https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra which is a Raft implementation in Erlang that is Jepsen-tested. You could use it

Because this is a community and I care about what goes on in it. I think this is precisely not a thought-tangent, it is taking the tangent that occurred elsewhere and posting an article about it to score internet points. If we keep doing th

Popular content is not necessarily good content (very boring to say this, but just look at reddit). And posting articles to get upvotes, which I'm not saying this post is necessarily doing but at least _some_ are doing, leads to lower

The trend of posting a page here based on some detail from a comment, that was posted in another thread ("What's that touchscreen in my room?" in this case) a few days ago, has become quite frequent and a bit annoying. To eve

Doesn't that system of interviewers just bring different biases? Even if they use a standardized scoring method or something, the bias would be built into that. And everyone would indeed be held to the same, biased, standard.

Changing stuff requires power. So as far as I can tell we agree. Executing objectives just sounds nicer.
