Cool blog post, smart guy, very thoughtful and not a copy-paste of Python code like 99% of folks. Nice to see

Look, it's really nice that you maintained WooCommerce for so many years. I know you might be tempted to move on to do something else, but I really need my shop to keep working. So, here is the deal: I am going to send you a 'dona

When you give money to help a pet shelter, or to feed kids in some far-away location, this is a donation. You give something, and you don't get anything back in return. Even a tax benefit, it doesn't change anything (as at the end

Beyond love, what you prefer ? Pay 100K USD, or put at risk your 500M USD project ? Edit: if the engine is not maintained, there can be compatibility issues, it can go abandoned and lack new features, etc. It's the technical pillar of

Half a billion USD (40M+ units sold), so 125K USD to have the core engine of your product be actively maintained by an expert for the price of +/- one developer is a very good deal

It's just marketing. It is not a protected term, so anything is state-of-the-art if you want it to be. For example, Gemma models at the moment of release were performing worse their competition, but still, it is "state-of-the-art&

Fun fact, this study was financed by YouTube to create a legal shield. In 2017/2018, they were in the position where MPAA and RIAA were saying: "Piracy costs us billions; Google must pay" + they had European Parliament on the

You can also buy boxed things and have the problem. For example FL Studio, you buy the boxed edition 300 USD, and all you get is a serial number. Once it's linked to an account, it's over (and it's actually the only way). If

Before it was really expensive and difficult to get access to movies or music. Then came Netflix or Spotify. So money is the primary discriminator now, not access. And users without money would not bring revenue anyway

The sentence is actually just in the comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46396107 You are right, and the FFmpeg devs are also 100% right and I perfectly understand that. In fact I like the idea to push the b

by rvnx 10mo ago
Bad decision and risk/reward calculation for sure. If it's code that is core to your stuff, and it is GPL'd, it's (technically) very tricky to solve. But here, as FFmpeg is LGPL and we talk about one single file, there i

It's a call to push the devs to freely say what happened in the background, there are many hints at that "I wonder if...?" "What could have happened that it escalated?" "Why there were no public reminders, what

To be clear: Rockchip is at fault, 100%. I would sue (and obv DMCA) any company who takes my code and refuses to attribute it. If you immediately escalate to [DMCA / court] because they refuse to fix, then that's very fair, but su

Then waiting to see how they addressed these points and what were the approaches taken and why ? Here spent time to think and document all the IRC chats, the Twitter thread, the attitude of the SoC manufacturer, etc. There has to be a backs

Could there have been other / better moves with sending a reminder. I think the devs of that Chinese company seemed to immediately acknowledge the attribution. Now the OSS community loses the OSS code of IloveRockchip, and FFmpeg wins

I tend to think that it leads to censorship, and then censorship at a broader level in the name of protecting our kids. See with social networks where you now have to give your ID card to protect kids. The best way in that case is education

Absolutely agreeing with you. I rather meant that scaling teams and being a great dev are not always going together (the same way that startup folks are often not the same type of people as managers in large companies), but in terms of tech

Wow?! There is no need to wish me harm because I compared two people who had the same similar tech level and approach as art, rather than pursuing productivity as a first goal. Again sorry if that made you upset, I just wanted to share my t

I think you are mixing up art, technical skills and productivity. Put Terry Davis (again him) as senior manager at Apple, and see the result. From my point of view, Terry has the same level and approaches as Fabrice. It does not guarantee a

It’s far from being impossible, the main thing you need is free time and obsession (and money for your free time btw). C or asm are not obscure languages or anything, they are brutal languages where you have to trace runtime from A to Z, an
