Because the BSL flat out bans the use of the source code for a specific purpose for 36 months and mostly behaves like Apache-2.0 for most other intents and purposes, whereas the AGPL affects all users (commercial or non) and requires them t

That seems to be how most people do it in the wild if they don't have any reason to try to stick with a pure REST/HATEOAS API. Frequently when people say they do "REST" that can mean as little as "we use different

This is most likely aimed at Enterprise customers. The main benefit of this seems to be rapid scalability, compared to provisioning each laptop individually, setting up VPNs, etc. It's similar to how cloud hosting is often considerably

Not necessarily the programmers. There'll always be some people who are easily enough to manipulate to write this kind of code. But those making the decision to ship this and sign off on it definitely should face criminal negligence ch

For those who think "well, pedestrians don't belong on the road so this wasn't much of a bug" (because I'm sure there are some of those): just imagine the "other" was a large chunk of debris, or cargo fall

When I trained for my driver's license in Germany, the scenario "people may run onto the street" was one of the most frequently recurring scenarios in the theory part. Anything from "children run onto the street to chase

I think you mean left shift. The Enter/Return key is also different, though looking at different layouts I have no idea why, as the extra key on that side seems to be present in different places regardless of the actual shape of those

It's more "fend it off, then crowd source enough ammunition to hunt it down and murder it", though. Everyone can expose trolls to sunlight, it just doesn't do all that much if you don't have the resources to fight t

Companies don't innovate, people do. The patent may be filed by a company but the discovery must have been made by one or more human beings. So you might as well argue that it shouldn't be possible for legal entities to hold paten

How do industrial secrets, which can safely be reverse-engineered, inhibit progress more than patents, which often intentionally omit important details and can be used to actively prevent reverse-engineering by competitors? Patents encourag

Note that they explicitly did it with the intention of clamping down on informal breaks, socialising and other "distractions". The founder heavily suggested he decided on this solution because he wanted to cut down on on-the-clock

So someone making £100k can afford it more than someone making £99.999k? Means-tested only makes sense if you have a progression instead of a hard cut-off, otherwise it creates these pits of despair. It's similar with welfare in German

Alternative take: it is about making money but paid labor is an exchange in return for money and what you put in is more than just time and effort. If you like your job, your cost looks very different from doing an equally demanding job you

No, a lot of hoops are barely even legal. Many services don't even allow you to delete your account, just to disable it and have it hang around in their database as long as they want. That's a blatant violation of privacy.

Germany has a reduced rate for certain goods but in practice it is pretty arbitrary and mostly the result of lobbying. Note that even if it were applied entirely consistently and without bias it would still only reduce the regressivity , i

Contracts are designed in such a way that they remain in place if any parts of them are voided by law but they don't take precedence over the law even if the law changes after the contract was signed. If slavery were legal today and ab

You might want to pay more attention to WSL2 then. I'm a web developer who switched from Ubuntu to Windows earlier this year and WSL has very much been a "best of both worlds" solution. Continuous improvements to VS Code and

It's telling of HN's demographic bias that you'd think Windows "would become a very serious contender to macOS". There are far more people using Windows than macOS, even among developers, even if you only look at th

Autism spectrum disorders are also massively underdiagnosed in women, in part because the way many girls are socialised requires them to behave in ways that can mask the social symptoms.

The problem with AWS etc is that you need external servers (i.e. no good if it needs to run on the local intranet). Also the cost of adding even a new VPS is much higher than spinning up another docker instance. I'm pretty sure a lot o

This is how it is in Germany at least. Yellow means "stop unless doing so would result in a dangerous situation", i.e. unless you'd have to brake hard in order to come to a full stop before crossing the line.

Codes of law aren't software. It's not a loophole, it's just an overly naive interpretation of what the law says based on your layperson understanding and applying programmer logic to non-software. If you explicitly don'
