> martydom with front-end frameworks You are the only one that even mentioned FE frameworks. Or plain JS. Neither was even tangentially mentioned and has nothing to do with my comment.

Yes, lived experiences differ from person to person.

This makes me depressed. LLMs will take the most enjoyable part of my job and I will be stuck reviewing or fixing bugs in their "it-compiles" codebase.

Make it source available. It won't help, but you might feel better. DuckStation (PS1 emulator) changed license from GPL to CC-BY-NC, because Chinese manufacturers were including it in their hw devices. Somehow I doubt that helped.

Because unlike most other functionality, you generally need hw specs or cooperation to write drivers (see Nvidia GSP). Anyone can write Photoshop (provided reasonable resources). The problem is going to be proprietary file format and compa

It's the classic "think about the children" argument used to push through plethora of other shit. See UK. I have very low trust in government (mine or other). We had these restrictions before. My country has been there, done

What does that have to do with fact that company in the article had to wait 4 years before they knew what regulation even to use?

There is always something worse. We should focus on making things better, not on "at we are not North Korea." I have no doubt that Germany is insane, but that doesn't retract from fact that current environment is bad. We want

Saying it exists only due to badly written regulations is rather bold assertion. It exists, because companies damage what isn't theirs. It is a regulation to protect property rights. Companies are polluting shared resources. Classic tr

Waiting 4 years until regulator even decides which regulation you fall under is "regulations that benefit me right now?" There is a lot of similar sentiment ITT. Speedy resolution by government is essential. They get too much slac

Seems pretty real. E.g. CRA official impact assessment estimates one-time (in addition to ongoing costs) compliance cost at €500K per one product. That is enough for 10 man years per product. And that is just one of many new regulations.

He addresses that. Basically, there are gatekeepers and if you get on the wrong side of them, only manual intervention can save you. And we all know how Google loves providing a human to resolve problems. > I came to the conclusion that

No, it won't. WebForms are .NET Framework only and are basically the key reason why any app stay on .NET Framework. A ton of internal apps used by few user with is built upon WebForms. It's just not worth it.

It doesn't matter whether you actually are safe or not. What matters is that you are in compliance.

There is no healthy ecosystem. Most packages are one or two contributors. And have been for forever. Granted, it's Nuget, where MS is the giant that overshadows everything, but I have read a lot of about this and it's same everywh

So... as I said "Sun explicitly did not want". They chose not to license it under GPLv2 or dual license GPLv2 + GPLv3 for... reasons. > it was unclear and possibly expected that Linux kernel will move to GPLv3 In what world? Ke

I meant not accepting pulls during rc phase, not kick him out. Instead he always sighed and accepted new features alongside with bug fixes.

by mnau 1y ago
Ok, please explain. ZFS is licensed under CDDL, which is incompatible with GPL, aka Kernel license. Sun owned copyright and could easily change license or dual license. They didn't... for reasons (likely related to Solaris).

Doing "nothing" in this case seems to be leaving technical debt in a code. I am not kernel developer, but less exposed API/functions is nearly always better. The removed comment of function even starts with: Careful: __kernel

Quite reasonable policy. Add a second line too: > Sun explicitly did not want their code to work on Linux, so why would we do extra work to get their code to work properly? Why would you accommodate someone who explicitly went out of the

I don't get why Linus just didn't tell bcachefs developer to take a hike. He is BDFL. No, these changes do not belong into this part of our release window. No pull. End of discussion. Instead he always talked and caved and pulled.

In EU, Cyber Resilience Act requires automatic updates, so the second point is moot. Most owners want just plug and play, so it makes sense. Even third point is pretty moot. We don't do that for hardware, why for software... A componen

40% of all log4j downloads are still vulnerable versions. Nobody cares, it's just another checkbox/policy. Security team is just another compliance department. It does not bring in money.
