Out in the cloud world, several companies changed their FOSS license to prevent large cloud providers from making money off their work (eg, Terraform, Redis, Mongo, and ElasticSearch).
Their reasoning was sound, on paper. They were spending a ton of time and money supporting a popular product and the only way to make money on it was by selling hosted services to enterprise. Then these other cloud providers would take their work for free, compete with them for the same customers, and often win.
In almost all these cases, the FOSS developers were pilloried for changing the terms of their original license, leading to immediate forks and fragmentation of the community.
The only outfit that I know of that survived the transition was Thingsboard. They still offer an open-source service, but they take a lot of their enterprise-only adapters and do not offer it as FOSS. Only way to get these is to sign up with their service.
Wordpress could have taken a survey of their highest paying customers, then created features they needed behind a private hosting service. Yes, people would have been unhappy, but the core service would remain FOSS and the company would still make a lot of money.
This whole thing has been done in the worse possible, public, mud-slinging manner. I don’t understand who benefits from the scorched-earth approach.
Wonder if they had to tie the knot three times to get it right?
Have been playing with this inside Illustrator all day. Still a little glitchy. A couple years from now, though, not sure anyone will need commodity stock icons or images.
However, those able to design and build a consistent look and feel across apps/web/video/physical will still be needed, and likely worth even more.
0 out of 5 stars. Came here to find how to get rid of sewer gases backing up into my bunker and all I got was something about “window managers.”
WHO PUTS WINDOWS IN BUNKERS?
S3 started as a place on the cloud to store and retrieve files. But it’s evolved a lot over the years:
There’s more, but that’s the crux of it.
Good thing they stopped emptying train toilets on the tracks.
Dangit, copy-pasta from an unrelated comment. Fixed.
If you use github pages, you can create, deploy, and host static websites for free. Only cost, if you want your own URL, is for a custom DNS name.
You can use their default Jekyll static rendering engine, and create the content using Markdown. And with github actions, all you need to update the content is create markdown, then push the change to the same repo. After a few minutes, the new content shows up.
Hugo can also be used, but it takes a few extra steps: https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/
You can also find ‘themes’ to customize the look and feel of the site, specific to the site generation tool.
If you want a lot of extra features, Docusaurus is pretty much as good as it gets, and you can set it up to push out to GH pages: https://docusaurus.io/docs/deployment
My favorite tell is when a write-up starts with a verbose explanation of given knowledge on a subject. Yes, we all know what ‘World Wide Web’ and ‘Internal Combustion Engines’ are.
Get to the f’ing point.
So many $$$$$$$$$$$$$, no doubt, for a single record in a database.
Just finished a bag of those. Now I need to adjust my timing belt.
Having been in a few of those server rooms in olden times, the ones with elevated flooring and false ceilings, they were:
a) loud, and
b) really, really COLD.
Was in a ‘modern’ hotel recently. Hardwood floors, fresh paint, and warm embedded light fixtures.
Went to look for a thermostat. Nope. One of these AC/heater units. It was all analog, twisty knobs, faded labels, easily from the 1970s. Two options: regular, and high.
It was fine, but pretty obvious the remo budget had run out.
Last time, it didn’t go so well for the robot:

Read the book. Great story. Was curious why they decided to roll up the program at the end and blow their own cover. Book mentioned it was getting too popular, but that didn’t sound right.
Hopefully, the talk will explain it a little better. Bookmarked to watch.
