This showed up on HN recently. Several people who wrote web crawlers pointed out that this won’t even come close to working except on terribly written crawlers. Most just limit the number of pages crawled per domain based on popularity of the domain. So they’ll index all of Wikipedia but they definitely won’t crawl all 1 million pages of your unranked website expecting to find quality content.
I chose FSL-MIT for my latest project that I plan to run as a service: https://fsl.software/
It's not technically OSS, but it is exactly what I want from a license. Users can do anything they want except make money off it themselves, but 2 years after release the software converts to MIT so you can make money off an old version of the software if you wanted. Basically I as the dev/maintainer get a 2 year lead on selling it as SaaS, and if you want to make money off of the latest versions we need to negotiate a different license agreement.
I think it's a good balance between being open source but also ensuring that development actually has a viable funding route.
This article is so weird. “We outperformed our competitors because Intel improved the performance of the AWS owned cryptography library we use.”
So like…what did you guys do? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you did nothing, but your career would go better if you put it in the article that is specifically for bragging about your accomplishment.
How much money do you donate to your ad-free lemmy instance? Or the rest of the free services you’re using?
For the vast majority of people, that number is $0.
Are you willing to bet the stability of an entire language's dependency ecosystem on that? Just so that we can write "crates.io" instead of "crates.rust-lang.org"?
That's really the question. I do agree that there's almost no chance it goes away as too many places and too much money depends on it.
I doubt they will too, but it's still dumb that an entire package ecosystem now has to hope that ICANN will make another exception and special case .io
ICANN tried to phase out .su, the only reason they didn't was because Russia was big enough to tell them no.
Forgot to mention .sh, which is also a ccTLD for a tiny island nation, and also shouldn't be used for hosting anything that is difficult to move.
The 3DS has a screen that size?
Edit: I’m dumb, I made this comment thinking this alarm clock was a watch…somehow. It definitely looks like the sameish size screen
On the feature side, according to Mastodons recent 4.3 release post development is only 4 full time employees and a budget of under $500k annually. That is basically nothing in the realm of social media companies.
Improving Mastodons features requires money and resources, but Mastodons users are unwilling to pay for instances and unwillingly to fund development. Hell, the .world folks host a bunch of instances for collectively hundreds of thousands of users and they take in about $1k a month in donations. I’m surprised that even covers hosting costs.
So…it’s no wonder that it isn’t going to be as polished as other social media in ways that would reduce the attrition.
I understand why they need to implement these blocks, but they seem to always be implemented without any way to workaround them. I hit a similar breakage using Cody (another AI assistant) which made a couple of my repositories unusable with it. https://jackson.dev/post/cody-hates-reset/
