Unless your writing is going to be greatly different from FMHY, I’d partner with them on the hosting so you only have to focus on the writing.

Our education system values rote memorization over actually learning something. So instead of teaching you how to use the periodic table, they teach you “The element of Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1” etc.

A few teachers who actually give a fuck will do both, but they are required to teach the test for funding. Because that’s how they are graded.

I’m sorry, but it’s not going to be. Mozilla set the stage of this when they changed from FOSS to source available.

I made this prediction right when this was announced.

Reverse engineering prohibitions are the dumbest things.

Let’s say I do this. Arduino sues me. Okay. Now what? What money are they going to take?

Hell, this would be a perfect time for everyone to form an LLC and purchase Arduinos as the LLC and then release your research under your corporate name as CC0. If your LLC has no revenue, you as an individual are legally protected.

Arduino can try to put the genie back in the bottle but good luck.

Better companies than Arduino have tried to prevent hardware reverse engineering and have failed. Apple being the biggest company I can think of that have tried to sue people for releasing schematics of their motherboards.

This was always to the goal of “age verification”. The government wants a way to know who is behind every “subversive” comment so that they can chill speech. “For the children” is just the most convenient excuse.

If that doesn’t work, it will be “to fight terrorism”.

Your submission “Does anyone know a free Playboy TV piracy stream on the web that actually shows the same thing the adult cable channel Playboy TV airs on cable and not just half of what Playboy TV shows on cable?” in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com was removed because: Removing for violating Rule 3…

Wait what’s wrong with MariaDB?

It’s FOSS, it’s compatible with MySQL libraries.

Tell me you don’t understand how GPL works without telling me how GPL works.

GPL has been battle tested in court and has the most precedence than any other license. Hell I’d even include proprietary licenses.

Core Android and ChromeOS are FOSS because they have to be. But because Linus Torvalds didn’t want to move Linux to GPL3, we have proprietary bootloaders with free software.

THAT’S how we have corporations profiting from GPL. Not because GPL allows anyone to use it.

I’m rewatching it and always forget how funny the show is.

Right back at you!

You’re getting down voted right now and I think it’s important to understand why because I had a similar reaction not too long ago. I was curious to understand my own biases and what I think it’s important to share what I learned as a cis male in IT.

Women just want to be women. Some want to wear nail polish and “look pretty” while others want to just rock a T-shirt and jeans. Like men who wear full tux and debug code at 6pm on a Friday (because they aren’t farmers), they want to be what they want to be.

Men have the luxury to wear whatever they want (for the most part) and not get shit for it. Women have to do everything that men do and do it with maturity while handing the shit that men throw their way.

I learned this lesson when I was the sole male STEM counselor at an all girls camp. It was a volunteer gig that my company put together. They had last minute cancellations and I had time on my calendar and so I volunteered. I did not know it was all girls and I certainly did not know I’d be the only guy.

I stayed curious and helped where I could. My job was to be a project manager, help teams understand how to win their competition that had set requirements. So I walked them through all that and looked over their code. There as a dedicated “make up hour” where the girls were encouraged to make their presentations “pretty” with make up, glitter, etc. I personally found it pointless given how far behind we were but I kept my mouth shut.

And I observed.

The fact that these girls could do this and do IT was immensely powerful. You could see their spirits lifted. It rocked my world and made me check my own beliefs. Why not allow them to be pretty? Why not let them take an hour to put glitter and stickers on their board if it made them happy?

Did we win? No. But they enjoyed it.

In my 20+ years in tech, we need more women because they bring perspective in ways I don’t. Not because they want to be pretty because they provide insight in ways I don’t expect. Anything I can do to help make that happen I’ll gladly do.

The stakes may not be high for me but if it has value to someone, all I have to do is build my bot net and then hold their ledger ransom.

permanent immutable logs

My understanding of current blockchain technology is that it’s only permanent so long as someone is online maintaining the block integrity. If enough machines go down, or if enough machines come up that refute it, then anyone can push an alternate history.

Define “cheap”.

Note that this isn’t a one-to-one guide.

Some have a minimum storage amount but with 12 TB you’re fine.

I think cloudflare may be the most cost effective since they don’t have egress costs like AWS.

Depending on the size of the repo and number of contributors.

Small ones, yeah probably a simple “don’t be an asshole” is fine.

It gets harder when your contributors start scaling way up and go international. What might be customary in one culture may be considered rude by another. Allowing for people to be different while also maintaining decorum is important.

I worked on a FOSS project that was very small (~5 devs) and I really had to get used to how upfront the German devs were. We knew each other enough but still.

You’ve gotten good answers from other folks but I’ll provide a ELI5:

Basically a set of rules in the database to make sure that it is immediately consistent.

NoSQL databases offer eventual consistency in exchange for speed so they are generally not considered to be ACID compliant.

Most traditional databases (MySQL, postgresql, etc.) are.

There are a couple of emerging companies that try to tackle speed for traditional databases. CockroachDB offers a postgress-based database that scales more like NoSQL while still offering ACID transactions.

TiDB is a similar company but for MySQL.

It’s not that people hate facts and science.

They hate facts and science that disagrees with their pre established beliefs.

They will happy spout whatever half truths that support their arguments but they will firmly reject anything that doesn’t.

I’d think it’d be more ethical to do the exact opposite.

Isn’t that what Elon did when he bought Twitter? Just randomly started unplugging shit?
