These Redis modules were originally using the AGPL. From what I understand the issue wasn't that they didn't have access to the modifications but that they provided it as a service on AWS which is what Redis Labs also offers.

Wonder if it would be a good idea for coinbase to mention the possibility of you being scammed...

I have used guix environments for python, c++, and guile projects.

Guix and GuixSD are definitely interesting. I am currently running Guix on top of Fedora for my desktop and just recently started running GuixSD on my laptop. Probably my favorite feature that I use the most is guix environment which can he

Would it be possible that people are abusing the spam reporting for these email providers? Get a large enough group of people online to sign up for these candidates and mass report these emails as spam.

While a license like MIT gives you the most possible freedoms, it also gives the freedom to derivative works to remove all those freedoms. A copyleft license doesn't grant those kind of freedoms so it can try and protect and keep the f

For my own personal projects I use the GPLv3+ because I want to protect the four freedoms[0] for users of my software. If I want something more permissive I would use the LGPLv3+ but I might start to move away from that and just use the GPL

I always see interest in these sort of operating systems. Are there any serious attempts at creating one?

Makes me wonder if there isn't really one single type of diet that is good for everyone. The best diet for a person might be more meat, more vegetables, or some other food group which is based on many different factors.

Redis Labs was originally using AGPL for their software before they switched to the Commons Clause. It seens companies had no issue using and selling the software. The issue was they didn't want other people to commercialize their soft

There is Mezzano[0], but I am not sure if it has a similar kind of hackability. I believe environments like that are pretty amazing. It is something that is not unique to just lisps either, you see similar features in Smalltalk environments

The twitter post[0] announcing the Commons Clause doesn't help make it clear by saying: > Redis has adopted a new license I've been working on w/ a talented team. The Redis mentioned here. I believe, actually means Redis L

Isn't that what GPL v3 is suppose to cover with what they call "tivoization"? They tried to get the Linux kernel to switch to the GPL v3 but that failed.

From my personal experience in the entry level job market, I have never successfully gotten a job offer to anything I applied to. Only have my current job because a friend recommended me.

The same can be said for Emacs with all the various packages and any elisp you write.

I like using info pages, pretty helpful when you use it with Emacs. Sort of wish more projects would use it.

That was an interesting read. Are there any similar projects being worked on creating a simple designed system that can be used day to day? Maybe there is still an active group of Oberon users?

It has also been open sourced and can be used on Linux and MacOS. Not sure if many people are using it on these systems though. https://github.com/powershell/powershell

Checkout CommonMark http://commonmark.org The spec is still not final. Github is going to base their flavor ontop of it https://githubengineering.com/a-formal-spec-for-github-markd...

So the example you showed with XML uses XPath, what do you think that does? I am sure something similar can be created in python for editing lisp code as easily as this.

A single quote is actually shorthand for the quote special form 'foo (quote foo) '(1 2 3) (quote (1 2 3)) It basically does not evaluate its arguments but returns whatever it is. So instead of the value of foo, it the

JavaScript, with ES6, will now have tail call elimination and lexical block scope with the let keyword. Looks like JavaScript is getting closer to scheme.

I scored 14/15, messed up on the regular expression question. Good thing I remembered the graph algoritms.

Congrats on the release. I use GNU Guix ontop of Fedora to use some extra packages as well as commands like `guix environment` to set up a dev environment to work on projects.

Anyone have online resources for testing C/C++ software? The resources I find online always seem to not cover much.

Why not both? Something like DFeed[1] which is used as the D programming language's forum[2]. [1] https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed [2] https://forum.dlang.org/

There is still discussions on the Guile mailing list[0] about it. Someone is maintaining a repo of guile with Nash and keeping it up to date with guile master. [0] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user&#x2F
