Legal bullying like this does not necessarily indicate a willingness to actually sue. Whether somebody's comfortable finding out is, of course, a different matter.

Oh dear. I see Redis Inc. have decided to go full Nagios. Never go full Nagios. Though admittedly Nagios' attempt to pull similar assholery wrt CPAN did end up being a source of some amusement to me: http://p3rl.org/Nag

As noted elsethread, I think that almost certainly *is* what's going on; I was explaining why it's probably a good thing from (at least many of) the companies' perspectives too.

Sure, though I'm not sure that "I see it more as" makes sense in context given - You're talking about how YC sees it. I was talking about how it affects things from the companies's point of view when YC does that. A

Yes, and as a variant on (1) from the point of view of potential *customers* it makes adoption (at least feel) less risky because if your original chosen supplier goos *poof* there'll be another one to switch to rather than you having

There *are* a bunch of people who've bought them because they genuinely think they look cool. I ... do not agree with that opinion ... but people are allowed to have different taste than I do, even if I think theirs is terribad.

5/6 recalls so far have been for physical problems, not software ones. It's not a particularly positive article but (unusually for articles about Tesla, admittedly) calling it a smear piece is counterfactual.

That would make a significant difference for other Teslas but apparently not for the cybertruck: https://www.cars.com/research/tesla-cybertruck/recalls/ Not sure where it would rank at '5 recalls' i

It isn't, this time. I've seen plenty of articles, contemptuous tweets, etc. that conflated OTA updates that were classified as 'recalls' by the safety authorities with physical issue recalls. And I'm annoyed that t

I'm aware this isn't a *proper* solution, but "throw your current API key at it, then as soon as you're done playing around, execute a test of your API key rotation scripting" isn't a terrible workaround, espec

I think those are cases of successfully becoming *the* company for the thing in the minds of decision makers before the hyperscalers decide to try and turn your product into a bundleable feature. Which is not to disagree with you, only to &

A possible cheap win for servers would be to support the systemd "here's an fd number you get exec'ed with" model - that way server code that's only written to do read/write on a normal fd should be trivial to

If nothing else, having competition helps validate the market. Which is often an advantage to all companies involved - a lot of the time, you're only notionally competing with each other, your main enemy is "people not using a pro

I think they conceptualised it as red teaming their *own* analysis. Givewell, being EAish, is generally staffed by people steeped in ratadj and/or nerd culture, so that seeming like a natural way of describing it to them seems unsurpri

I think complaining about the quircks of your servants may often be in the same category as complaining that your new designer handbag doesn't colour match well with as many of your dresses as you'd hoped.

I like doing similar tricks with zfs snapshots for containers on linux and jails on fBSD. (this is not intended to start a filesystem argument, I'm doing it with zfs because I already know zfs and it's available on both of the OSe

Now I'm kinda tempted to have a go at this using distroless, probably by building a container using the already existing tools and then slurping the contents back out of it to turn into a chroot.

The trouble with bug tracking / project management software is that everybody wants Just One More Feature. But if you implement them all, it will become an overcomplicated mess, somebody will replace it with a simpler version, and the

Clutter accumulates in any bug tracker. Ideally they'd've been cleaning it out more regularly and these feature requests would've been marked "not currently on the roadmap" and closed much sooner. But I don't t

I rather like things like the mobx flow action system based on generators - you yield() promises rather than awaiting them and use yield* to splice other functions following the same approach. You can see a nice example of using that approa
