In general it's a mess. Very big language, so C++ issues. Different communities liking different subsets. Plenty of people "having to" use it, causing annoyance/hate. It's not great for teaching due to not only bein

The point is Free Software, not distributed systems. It can still be a centrilized service, and be Free Software at the same time.

the issues are trust. not whether you can get users to produce content for it. edit: someone else mentioned distributed systems, again the point is not these became decentralized or federated or anything like it, the point is them being Fre

One thing I noticed when I was in college was that the basics of FP is not hard, in fact it seems way easier (from my data annecdote). In my university CS course, we start with FP (using Haskell), and in a course with one of the biggest num

At the end of day, isn’t Free Software the solution? Every issue with power and control of all these big organizations steem from the fact that their software does not respect the 4 freedoms. The west very much likes “free” trade, but how c

No. Core idea of capitalism is that everything has value, you have a right to own and trade value, and we should quantify that value to enable efficient transactions of valuables. It's about freedom of ownership (and ownership rights)

Go is not less wasteful than java, both are garbage collected and their memory pressure depend highly on the given workload, and the runtime of the program. But java allow more GC tuning and even different GCs for different use cases (ie: s

It's about know what code runs in devices they are _using_. The user doesn't own your server but he is using it through the client. AGPL is meant to apply the 4 freedoms to anything that is _used_.

Sometimes the tool shapes behaviours. Things that are easier to do, will be done more often. The folks at Doist (makers of todoist app) created Twist.com because of their discontent with slack, it's very interesting to read their blog

No. Valve is privately owned, with GabeN having a big share (AFAIK, since it's private, we wouldn't easily know who/what owns each % of Valve) You might hear about Valve in these kind of discussion not because of its ownershi

Sorry but you are just changing angles and discussing semantics. Let me do the same for the quasi "open source" licenses: Elastic license doesn't impose restrictions. It provides guarantees (that modified versions will not ta

It's a different restriction. AGPL lets you do anything as long as it is just as Free (as in freedom), while these kind of license only let you do things that don't compete with whatever is the current copyright owner business is

by tm-guimaraes 4y ago
Use AGPL then. If any other business wants to "undermine" yours, they would then have to let you "undermine" theirs as well.

by tm-guimaraes 4y ago
The problem is copyright. Current AI landscapes are basically "copyright for me but not for you". I would be fine if we just abolish copyright. I wish for a world with AttributionRight instead of copyright.

Couldn't they simply try to be profitable without scaling (and its issues) to the masses? Or it's VC pressure? (Honest question, I don't know much about peloton in general)
