There are two organizations I would consider assigning copyright to for free work: the FSF and the ASF, which are both organizations with noble goals. Certainly not the CNCF.

The term “free range” is almost meaningless when buying eggs - even the opening paragraph of Wikipedia explains this: “Free-range eggs are eggs produced from birds that may be permitted outdoors. The term "free-range" may be used

That may end up being a net win for all involved: distribution users will get an up to date package direct from the source instead of a 5 year old version (or whatever) patched to hell, and the project will stop getting reports about versio

SSPL achieves your goal far better than AGPL, as already enumerated in this thread.

Aiven is a good example - I don’t know if they contribute to Redis, but they appear to offer a managed service based upon it.

What industry do you work in? I’ve done the gamut of regulated industry work - medical, defense, banking etc, and never run into this. Aaron is (as usual) spot on with his analysis.

Can you give an example of HCL which is ambiguous under these conditions?
912.
by jen20 3y ago
> where you can’t feasibly count the number of open braces/parentheses (HCL tends to get like this) HCL is fine for this. Editors highlight matching braces, typically, and the parser will typically fail if they are mismatched.

by jen20 3y ago
They don’t. They stop it being an accident though - except in languages like C where braces are optional for single line blocks which can lead to similarly poor outcomes. Whitespace sensitivity is the top of Python’s pretty exhaustive list

Under what set of regulations? I only book flights on Airbus planes these days, but would like an extra insurance policy against switching in a Boeing.

Ah, well by those criteria alone, PenAir 3296 in 2019 would probably win - a passenger died inside the plane after a runway excursion.

I’ve personally run into both Richard Branson flying Virgin Atlantic and Oscar Munoz flying United. The C Suite of an airline is likely using it plenty.

Regardless of whether flying is safer or not, the citation is incorrect: a passenger on Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 died in 2018 following a contained engine failure.

Of course, writing them in Go would solve all of these problems while producing packages which are much smaller.

I have never understood why cloud providers seem to think it is OK to write their CLIs in Python. The AWS one is too, and the Azure one went from Node.js to Python some time ago.

Yes, cherry-picking the arguments that actually matter. Most people going to an office spend their whole day on video calls, and have the temerity to shush people around them who are actually collaborating. They do this while drinking shit

Yes, seems that my info there is well out of date (though when I last lived in the UK, the underground is on a different fare regime).

The times are different though. Plus the time when there tends to be the most traffic is when train fairs can be so ludicrous that it was not unreasonable for a group of 4 to consider chartering a helicopter from Bath to London instead.

by jen20 3y ago
Indeed, Bath to Oldfield Park was (is?) the most expensive train journey on a per-mile basis possible in the UK.

I guess “Hotel Ashburn” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I somewhat agree with you, but an important detail is wrong: ingress is almost always free, egress is where you get hit.

That kind of clause doesn’t fly in either the UK or US, since it is disguised employment. The definition of a contractor is someone who sets their own rate and hours, and works under their own direction.
