Except the plane is going to survive. Only the passengers aren’t going to. On the other hand, there are going to be new passengers. Assuming we don’t blow up the plane with nukes.

That would be Charles Peirce, in the XIXth century, not Wittgenstein.
> The Uprising started when the Red Army appeared on the city's doorstep, and the Poles in Warsaw were counting on Soviet front capturing or forwarding beyond the city in a matter of days. This basic scenario of an uprising against the Germans, launched a few days before the arrival of Allied forces, played out successfully in a number of European capitals, such as Paris and Prague. However, despite easy capture of area south-east of Warsaw barely 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) from the city centre and holding these positions for about 40 days, the Soviets did not extend any effective aid to the resistance within Warsaw.

I think you confused saving with conquering.

IMO he makes a couple good points (and a couple poor ones), but it’s about everything except technical merits. It’s more about social and philosophical aspects.
Also, I’m not sure how it is today, but 5-8 years ago I knew more words in my native language than iOS autocorrect and got tired of it “fixing” them.
I’ve also already stopped using Kagi on mobile, because they made the experience of editing the search field terrible with some JS. In particular moving the text cursor in the search field in Kagi on mobile Safari is an exercise in frustration that’s not replicated by any other text field in any other search engine, website or anything at all on iOS.
This confirmation about their core focus being LLM stuff seals the deal for me and I’m cancelling my subscription. I fully agree with this sentiment from TFA:
> They just don't want to admit to being an AI company anymore. Frankly, it's not something I want to pay them to keep developing. It's something I want less of out in the world.
In comparison, in Polish the most trivial things often have elaborate names. Ironically, one of the words that irks me in that department is borrowed from English (or French more likely): the plural form of “photographer”. In English the singular form is in my opinion on the verge between comfortable and uncomfortable to use when used a lot. In English however the plural form has the same number of syllables as the singular form, so it’s still relatively comfortable. In Polish on thr other hand the plural form adds two full syllables (fotograf (3) -> fotografowie (5)), which pushes it over the edge into the land of unwieldy when used frequently. In this case I think Polish should invent its own word that is more consistent with names for other artistic professions, is shorter and leaner: “fotarz” after “malarz” (painter), with cases and all other grammatical quirks made analogous to those of “malarz”. And then the plural form adds just 1 syllable (ending up with 3): “fotarze”.
Moreover prior to the fall of the Iron Curtain the term Central Europe wasn’t used much. After that though some people like Milan Kundera started popularising it much more out of sense of inferiority.
Also, two Eastern European countries that I have first-hand knowledge of: Poland and Estonia are much more digitised and efficient at those things than Germany (and, from what GP wrote, it seems Finland as well?).
Rust having traits instead of templates is a big ergonomic improvement in that area.
Disclaimer: I don’t have anything against the relicensing to LGPL. I think it’s your right and I root for you.
That said, correct me if I’m wrong, but, as far as I understand, what Redis Ltd did, they could do regardless of the license. Copyleft wouldn’t have stopped them, given the CLA.
Moreover I wouldn’t call that exploitation. To people outside of Redis Ltd who don’t want to be Redis Ltd customers this move is indistinguishable from them just closing down business and stopping development of Redis. Would that be exploitation? Are they obliged to provide free work on Redis indefinitely? They can’t retroactively change the licence of previous versions of Redis, so they can’t actually take anything away. The existence of the 2 forks is proof of that.
Then there are also the cars standing on the pavement with those headlights on blinding the pedestrians going in the opposite direction, because the driver inside can’t be bothered to turn them off and feels like sitting in a car in the dark and being an asshole to everyone around for whatever reason.
Without the pipe dream of efficient homomorphic encryption you can’t protect your data from a hostile VPS provider.
I’ll be migrating to Hetzner in any case.
Also: since when a company capable of routinely acquiring other established companies for tens of billions of dollars a startup?
