Wasn't Debian testing also affected? That should have affected some people's PCs.

Totally reasonable demands and I mostly tick all of them off: 1) yup 2) yup 3) mostly reasonable but weirdly written 4) they didn't make it, but yes 5) 100%. And since I fulfill most of those requirements I have the same demands on non

I think that is intentional and that the goal would have been achieved even if Jigar (who probably is the same guy as Jia) had been banned.

He is also one of the sharpest developers I have had the fortune to speak to (and do some minor work with on the mailing list) and he knows a lot about performance and profiling. I 100% think that he found it on his own. He would also be an

Departure postal code could be an area with like 1 million people. And if it is a nation state I am sure they could send the mail from another country.

Name choice I disagree with. The attacker used at least Chinese, Indian and Scandinavian names when working on this. It is possible we can find out something by doing a statistical analysis of the language but as far as I know no such analy

Yes, I have met Andres in real life and I can totally believe that he is that in tune with his system. He wrote that he found this while benchmark PostgreSQL and saw weird load from ssh. He does a lot of benchmarking of PostgreSQL patches.

Design by committee is not really common in the PostgreSQL community. Instead people just work on whatever they or their employer wants to. Makes having a roadmap or cohesive plan impossible but the issues of design by committee rarely show

Are they literally setting money on fire?

A JSON object which is 100 MB after compression is a quite huge thing.

No,they want to make money with software they did not build. The Redis company did not build Redis nor are they the biggest contributor.

Most of China isn't a city either, but just like in the US most people live in cities.

By that definition Duke Nukem Forever was not vaporware.

A major postgres contributor (Andres Freund) disagreed with you about pgbench but, yes, feel free to dismiss them just because you found some words on a web page. I am just a minor PostgreSQL contributor and consultant of no import, but do

Italians and Spaniards were sold as slaves in North Africa and were still perfectly able to colonize.

Looking at the links: probably not. These look like shady casinos and casino affiliates. Most likely they do it for cheap high quality backlinks. Several of them promote unregulated casinos targetting the Swedish market.

by jeltz 3y ago
It is also some illegal casinos which target the Swedish market "utan spelpaus" means that it is a casino which ignores the Swedish anti-addiction self block. And "utan svensk licens" means that they do not have a Swedis

Ok, that is a very valid point. It is CLAs with copy right assignments I am opposed to.

Or we can just burn the clothes. Almost no clothing in Europe, biodegradable or not, ends up in the ocean.

No the burden of proof is on people who claim this will reduce the release of microplastics. Most plastic pollution comes from a few countries in Asia and from fishing. https://ourworldindata.org/ocean-plastics What we need

Yup! I might make an exception at some point but so far I haven't. I believe that all contributors should be equals and not some have more rights than others. Also I need to research and trust the entity which I sign the CLA with.

Redis is also on the the leeches in this case. They have a 500 people company which plans to profit off of hosting Redis and wants to have a competitive advantage by being the only ones who do not have to open source their modifications.

Yeah, survivor bias. Most forks die, but there are plenty of successful ones.

Yes, when most people say MySQL they actually mean MariaDB.

Most likely, yes. Debian dropped MongoDB after their license change and Ubtuntu seems to have done the same. The last version with MongoDB is focal. https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mongodb

That your distribution is likely to drop Redis so you will have to install it from another repository.

by jeltz 3y ago
Agreed, and this is why I never have contributed to a project with a CLA.

by jeltz 3y ago
That Redis cannot be included in many Linux distributions anymore. Is that enough of a practical impact?

by jeltz 3y ago
I am fine with SSPL and AGPL as long as there is no CLA which makes me sign me rights over to someone else. I have never contributed to a project with a CLA and unless an employer pays me for it I do not think I ever will.
