LinkedIn is FetLife for boring kinks.

@kaia @meeper

A beautiful idea. Something's in my eye, I need a kleenex.

@thomasfuchs Looks like an April Fools joke? I totally don't remember this one.

I used to work for Palm, but didn't know as much about Handspring.

@aral You know, if it truly was "lick boots for money" I'd find it a lot more understandable and reassuring.

I don't think it's that. And I don't think he's getting paid.

I think it's just a natural, knee-jerk alignment with authority.

It would also be more reassuring if he weren't in such numerous company that way.

@dalias @MartyFouts @lucasmz @linux_mclinuxface

This. If you have a copy of old OSS Redis, including its source code, that's still fully usable under the old terms.

What they're doing is only licensing *new* code under the new bad terms. Which is 100% legal, yeah.

@aubilenon @inthehands

Yeah, sometimes these things show you who the actual customer is, and often it's not you (or me).

@thomasfuchs The 386DX really was *much* better.

@inthehands @nrmacdonald

It's a great conceptual point, though I have very little understanding of how you'd usefully measure it.

@inthehands @danielpunkass

Don't know what to tell you. I just typed "dreamwidth.org." It lists dreamwidth.org under "Google suggestions", but it defaults to Safari suggestions if I just type it and hit enter.

It would probably be better if I typed the https:// explicitly?

@inthehands @danielpunkass

I'd need to learn all its quirks again.

I saw this thread, thought "I haven't tried Safari in forever," popped it open, typed a URL into the bar...

Oh, hey, it takes Siri's suggestion over a literal URL typed into the bar. So I type "dreamwidth.org" to see how it looks, and I get Wikipedia.

@nixCraft

<evil>as a job queue</evil>

@thomasfuchs @elithebearded Um... Making stuff up about your odds not being amazing? You literally opened with that.

Or you mean making stuff up about ops people? They *do* sometimes answer people online with random questions, but quite often they don't.

@elithebearded @thomasfuchs Was gonna say. If you want a free answer from a lawyer about the law, your odds aren't amazing.

It's like asking, "can somebody who works in ops answer this server admin question?" Yeah, but possibly not during their off-time.

Koichi Sasada and Yusuke Endoh (Mame-san) have been let go from Cookpad after years of work as full-time Ruby committers. As part of a large reduction-in-force, their team was eliminated.

They are both looking for new work.

Obviously they're both amazing at what they do.

@inthehands I feel mixed about some of the implementations. Police have a tendency to turn body cameras *off*, for instance, and courts tend to let them get away with it.

@inthehands It's not even just NYPD. Those cards are not uncommon for local PDs generally, though the effect of them varies from area to area.

Also county and national police (etc) organisations are a lot more likely to just ignore them.

@thomasfuchs Is that the new generative features?

@inthehands That makes sense. It's the same kind of thing Rust is trying to do.

The Rust variation frustrates me, since it requires proving things to a compiler, often in very inconvenient ways. Maybe Swift's version is better that way.

It *does* seem like the way the world is headed. I really dislike it in Rust.

@inthehands So then presumably the benefit is that you can't access the internal value without doing a check, so you can't skip the check, even if you're "sure"?

I'm trying to make sure I understand.

@inthehands Sure, but you're not allowed to pass nil to it in the same way you're not allowed to pass :end or "bob". Nil isn't a number, nor typed as if it is.
