That's a moka pot, right? Hoping to get one of those for Christmas!

I've seen the inverted method but haven't tried it. What do you think the benefits are, especially in your case where you're still getting some drip after the second fill?

I've literally been saying it for years: somebody needs to build Retool for user-facing apps. Being an API provider, so many of my customers want this type of service to build a user-facing portal based of specific requirements that do

Thanks for sharing, as always. I was surprised you didn't touch on taxes. In the past, the main thing that kept me from selling any business was taxes -- I'd make more if I just kept it running over n years in maintenance mode. Af

I really, really wanted to like and use their IDEs (esp their Ruby 'intellisense' or w/e), but the lack of popular theme support kind of killed it for me. I wanted my IDE to look like my VSCode editor, but, at least a few yea

That's why I eventually moved to LinkedIn and Capterra. It was a lot easier to get good results with their ad targeting.

My point is simple: if someone contributes, they accept the terms. Complaining about ‘free labor’ is irrelevant. The contributor chose to contribute; if they didn’t agree with the terms, they wouldn’t have. Nobody is asking for an uninvolve

I never said Winamp was open source? It's very clearly source-available.

That's entirely speculation. They could just as well be winding down the project entirely, which has happened before.

Hmm, I must have missed that. I stand corrected, then. Perhaps the author thinks copyleft can be divorced from open source? They didn't claim to be open source here, but they do claim to be (very strong?) copyleft -- almost like a sing

> When it becomes openwashing is when you instead write "you can look but you can't compete with us, also feel free to give us a hand". With all due respect, I don't think you know what open-washing means.

Did the authors claim to be open source somewhere I must have missed? Without that, I don't see how this is open-washing...

To me, this seems to be a misunderstanding of the license text and the author's intent. The original license simply reserved all distribution rights. People assumed you couldn't even fork into a public GitHub repo in order to make

> they wanted to openwash it and get free labor from the open source community. This is such a ridiculous accusation. Why do discussions about source-available models often turn into accusations of soliciting free labor? Why can't a

Ads for me, too. Google, Capterra, Microsoft, and LinkedIn were my main ad channels. Most new founders think that blasting your 'startup' to Product Hunt, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Reddit, Twitter, etc. will result in first cust

Not really. I have no incentive to defend Tesla. I do not own one, and I do not want one. I own a Ford Expedition. I was merely saying that Cybertruck would have been a better choice (or even a larger Tesla!), and them plugging a Ford EV at

I saw a theory yesterday proposing a 'reason' for all this: Matt wants out and is trying to force a community fork by going scorched earth. After this post, that theory seems kind of plausible? But who knows, really.

I personally believe using AGPL in that way is dishonest, because it foregoes the spirit of open source and instead adopts AGPL as a thinly-veiled non-compete propped up on ambiguity and FUD, which is exactly what this essay delves into i.r
