While I’m not personally familiar with them, Redeemer Presbyterian Church[1] in New York City (previously pastored by Tim Keller[2]) comes to mind.

Here’s where we ended up:

Apple resolved the issue after 48 hours of performance disruptions. Though I further noted one five minute disruption on 4/3 at 6pm ET. They still haven’t responded to our initial ticket.

We’ve worked around this by implementing Pirate Weather as an emergency fallback (it was an easy option since they are fully compatible with DarkSky’s API). But Pirate’s baseline performance is worse, and they don’t have a plan that supports more than 250k requests/month.

We may have to eventually switch to a different provider.


The historical limitation should be emphasized - requests for dates before August 1 2021 will return a success status, but always with the data for 8/1.


Nominated Delaware DA by George W. Bush. Recommended to Delaware District Court by Senators Coons and Carper. Appointed by Trump. Confirmation approved by voice vote (which generally means no Senator expressed the desire to register opposition in a recorded vote).

You know officials are doing something right when they can secure broad support like that.


It's pretty common for judges, especially at lower levels, to have broad bi-partisan support. Lots of politicians are lawyers, and if you're well regarded by the local/state Bar Associations, you're going to have lots of friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Until you start ruling on very high-profile cases, or if you have a lot of partisan scholarship, you're unlikely to alienate the folks confirming you so it largely comes down to what the opinion of you is at the Bar.

This is actually why you've started to see people nominated for high level federal posts and even SCOTUS without a lot of divisive scholarship, because they're intentionally staying away from these issues to try to maximize career growth.


I agree that judicial candidates draw bipartisan support more often than most would realize, but you might be overstating how often this happens. In our current political era, Connolly falls into a minority.

See pages 30-33:

> during the Trump presidency, with 81.0% of district court nominees confirmed by roll call vote

> During the Trump presidency, in contrast to the two immediately preceding presidencies, only 15 (10.6%) of 141 district court nominees confirmed by roll call vote received zero nay votes at the time of confirmation. A plurality of nominees (36, or 25.5%, of 141) received more than 40 nay votes when confirmed by the Senate, while another 20 nominees, or 14.2%, received 31 to 40 nay votes at the time of confirmation.


For this clause to have any positive effect, you need to 1) be willing to pursue legal action against violators and 2) actually notice that the clause has been violated.

Such language must be carefully written. What is the definition of “construction” and “operation” in a legal context? What is a “predictive software generation system”? That’s a very specific use case, you sure you covered everything you want to prohibit?

You’ve inserted your clause in such a way that this dependency cannot be used in any way to build anything similar to a “predictive software generation system”, even with attribution, as it would fail clause 3.

You have to consider that novel licenses make it difficult for any party that respects licenses to use your code. It is difficult to make one-off exceptions, especially when the text is not legally sound. So adoption of your project will be harmed.

So if you are serious about this license, you need a lawyer.


I also founded a company which built a large portion of our backend on Clojure, using it through Series C. Your experience matches ours verbatim.

The context, from Mauro’s previous message:

> Only an application that handles video should be using those controls, and as far as I know, pulseaudio is not a such application. Or are it trying to do world domination? So, on a first glance, this doesn't sound like a regression, but, instead, it looks tha pulseaudio/tumbleweed has some serious bugs and/or regressions.

Style and culture are certainly open for debate (I wouldn’t be as harsh as Linus), but correcting a maintainer who was behaving this way towards a large number of affected users was warranted. The kernel broke the API contract, a user reported it, and Mauro blamed the user for it.


I'd like to mention that Mauro is a very nice person. I worked briefly with him when I submitted some patches to ZBar and it was the best experience I've had contributing to open source to this day. He gave me feedback and I got to learn new stuff such as D-Bus integration.


There’s plenty of quality content on YouTube. But there’s plenty of low quality knockoffs, and even outright dangerous videos like Blippi smashing things with hammers or Peppa Pig murdering her friends and family with a knife.

YouTube has too much crowd generated garbage to leave kids unsupervised.
