Redis changed from AGPL to Apache 2 with something they called a Commons Clause, then finally to Redis Source Available License because of cloud providers. Don't really know exactly which event triggered the change, though. I suppose i

The problem is that it is not truly impossible to integrate into a commercial company. It's more that the license practically requires a lawyer to look at exactly how it'll be used and approve that use. AWS certainly does not shy

Would make sense for routing if the first n bits are common to the cell tower. Static IPs for phones would result in slower and more expensive routing, as we can't use prefixes for routing anymore.

Yeah, Redox is a completely new, from scratch, OS written in Rust. Ironically, even the libc is written in Rust. It (occasionally) runs on real hardware, and I believe they're pretty close to bootstrapping, although lack of a browser i

So it's a signed executable, running in a sandbox, served from a federated app store... Isn't the whole JS/CSS/HTML web crap a bit overcomplicated for this purpose?

This is great: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=... I mean, kudos to Google for (probably) not cheating here, but that's a low score.

I think DisplayPort is not mentioned because Nvidia hasn't upgraded their cards to 2.0. Super disappointing. 4k/144Hz/HDR is enough for now, to be honest, but DP2 can do 84/144Hz/HDR as long as it has DSC, 244Hz wit

Mostly how much data there is, and how structured it is. Not really sure what the difference between data lake and warehouse is, but either of them will typically have less structured data and more of it than an SQL server. We're talki

It's not that hard for Germany. The problem is more that there are multiple competing schemes, and it's kind of a mess. Make-it-in-germany.com should be a good guide

There's a podcast on this. "How to fuck up an airport". The short answer is that all the bids were realistic-ish, and therefore too high for the budget. So the Berlin politicians went "We'll do it ourselves! Much ch

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, as the saying goes. Looking at fundamentals is not enough. Short and medium term price prediction is fundamentally an exercise in psychology.

Any source for this? Because if this is true, I'm willing to try. Absolutely no carbs is really hard, though. I'd essentially have to drink rapeseed oil for 3 days... Even butter has carbs.

Former SaltStack user here. If you're using it, just stop. Switch to Ansible, a Kubernetes/Helm/Flux solution or experiment with Chef Habitat if you're feeling futuristic. SaltStack is just bad. It's buggy, clunky a

I've done the same by being lazy, mainly treating it as a better Java and only learning new stuff when necessary or obviously beneficial. I want to write good programs, not fancy code. My advice: - Options, immutability, pattern matchi

D, Nim and Crystal all do very well on all metrics. Author finds Rust pretty close but not as maintainable. Interesting that the top 3 (performance close to C++, but more maintainable) all are niche languages that haven't really broken
