Very interesting. This would explain the response I got (backstory - I am a contributor to a number of open source packages / not totally clueless, but was coming in from a micro personal account). I was like, how the heck do they affo

Thank goodness we've all been conditioned by the EU cookie consent screens to say yes to every damn popup that pops up! Seriously - the EU is bombarding us with damn cookie notice screens. I wish apple had been more in charge of the we

Initially I thought some straightforward fun first party games would be great. Make them cheap / free with platform, do some of the standards (a runner, a platformer, etc etc). Keep them pretty simple. That would have been nice - show

Yeah - there are folks I think interested in having things done. They pay, you do it, they are happy. And then there are folks who have their own problems - they may be disorganized? Have internal conflicts? Have other financial issues. So

Jetbrain stuff has always been slow - until I got an AMD 5600 (ram at 3200). For whatever reason, this combo of chip and updates to their software maybe (I turn off a lot of the add ins) - I've stopped being annoyed at the speed. It&#x

There is really only one simple concept needed to understand what the SEC cares about. When a big hedge fund is selling a stock short, they can do so without even borrowing it. As a result, the buyer ends up not owning it and the stock fail

So weird - and a good lesson for business. Generally the customer that gives you the most hassle on front end and is the cheapest will demand the most and hassle you the most for the entire period. This argument reminds me of someone who I

Motorcycles are a pointless regression in safety. Fast cars are a pointless regression (and have terrible rear side views in many cases). Many things that are "cool" are also regressions - almost all big screens and apple carplay

dude, you are so confused. The car design as a whole. A car designed with a bomb in it is a different design than the other civics. Do you not understand that? This makes my point even more clearly. If you have Civics with bombs and civics

by temp667 6y ago
Let me be crystal clear. If you advocate that a car design that, in total, is 2x safer than another car design be condemned - you deserve total condemnation. A car might invest a ton in structural safety, and trade that for some cool or sex

Tesla should simply have to demonstrate that their whole package is safer than other cars being sold (including mustangs and corvettes with zero visibility, terrible handling etc etc). This idea that you can stick a round wheel in some of t

We need to condemn the condemners. The don't / can't doers. Here is an F1 racing wheel - used in some of the highest (not lowest) performance driving. https://www.popsci.com/f1-racing-steering-wheel-complicate

It's compatible, but if Postgresql wanted to go harder copyleft and switch the license for future releases, they'd need to get pretty broad agreement, and that would be difficult, there are a lot of corps / enterprise players

A similar situation in local political health care plans. I did medical billing. Our local govt agency (this was for medicaid level care) required that they only pay 25% of the price of the service. When 90% of your patients are on medicaid

Sure. The Elastic license is also a change from Apache 2.0, and is also not an OSI approved license as far as I am aware. Doesn't the elastic license specifically limit use of software to basic features, prohibit modification of licens

I think they got tired of having folks argue with them about the license. In short though - was developed at berkeley so released under a BSD license. The license has served them well (there are a lot of commercial entities supporting postg

The Elasticsearch SPPL is going to be pretty incompatible with many or most contributors business models and personal needs. The question is will the community harmonize around 1-2 forks or will the there not be enough critical mass in a fo

I think what's been seen is after videos of the protests and buildings burning etc there is a crush of non-protestors running to get guns. Locally there may be also a sense that at least in some jurisdictions policing has decreased and

Why does facebook do this rather than let third party advertisers advertise? I thought they got most of their money from third party advertisers, not selling their own products. Note - gun sales are very strong in the US. Antifa / BLM

Is this serious - crawling with starlink sats? At night I'm really not noticing starlink sats even on earth. What I'm noticing is MASSSIVE light pollution. For an article about looking up with the human eye at the stars, the hit o

Very nice. Did they migrate into Amazon RDS while doing this? For smaller projects I've stopped doing the self managed postgresql thing. The pricing is higher (75%?) for RDS for some use cases but can be worth it. Going to try RDS Prox

They are explicitly pursuing a demisable sat design. Note - despite other posters claims, this is not a requirement and there are other approaches as well for the safety side here. The most common is to deorbit into the ocean (the sats are

In my space especially with video conferencing people are willing to spend a premium for lower latency for audio / video conferencing links. So there may be a market there (if you can backhaul phone, video, audio conference traffic) wh

We use a fair number of google products, and you can turn on a lot of enhanced protection, and many businesses do. This means even password protected / private URLs may generate scans from what I've seen. I'm not sure how the

A while back before AWS was so popular their support at lowest tier developer accounts was totally ridiculous. I'd messed something up, out of their scope to fix (they could have just said nothing wrong with X). Instead some AWS engine

Tell to the folks paying for the Maps API who built businesses around it. What a scam. Has amazon EVER raised the price of an AWS service?

That is interesting! I'd always been confused WHY Apple with its focus on audio / video wasn't pushing more here for some better open standards. The AV1 support is obviously a step though in the right direction.
