Did some marketing person really write "cutting edge" into the headline?

Biological DDOS

This is more like biological SSRF

Really? That does not sound like an opinion derived from real data.

Those startups take care of that themselves.

Because it's helpful and adds context? Why do you care?

Because it's frustrating. They do it to belittle the projects and shame the authors for trying to make a living.

Not every project wants to end up as another bloated abandonware in Apache Software Foundation.

FOSS washing software is similarly frustrating.

When I see a license on a project I expect that project will provide the code under that license and function fully at runtime, not play games of "Speak to a sales rep to flip that bit or three to enable that codepath".

I find it frustrating it is not immediately clear it is open core (in which case we shall never touch it as per our lawyers). So hopefully people will keep commenting on that.

I just go to HN and read the comments.

It's not that school causes success. It's that school is a decent way to learn. It's not the best, by any means, but it beats not learning at all.

If you drop out of school, do it because you've found a better way to learn.

If you stop learning, whether in our out of school, that is the path to failure.

From my experience, the absolute magicians in fixed point math were the 8-bit and 16-bit video game designers. I was in awe of the optimizations they did. They made it possible to calculate 3D matrix maths in real time, for example, in order to make the first flight simulators and first person shooter games.

Redefining degrees to be 2pi = 256 was a pretty clever trick.
