Let's say you bought that storage system: https://www.dell.com/en-us/dt/storage/powerstore-storage-app... AFAIK, it doesn't come with complete source code, and you could not request all of it.

Let's say you decided to run MongoDB as a service, and you are fine with releasing Service Source Code under SSPL. The problem is – you can't. You don't own the source code for your NAS and can't relicense it. Nothing in the text says, "relicense all you can, and then you are fine". Clause 13 puts requirements on software that are completely unrelated in terms of copyright.

> I am confused. If you use a custom storage system then you would have the code for it. No?

Nothing in the license text says that the storage system has to be custom.

> The idea you need to release code for the os, file system, network routers, etc is absurd.

I agree with you that this is absurd. But that's what the license text says.

I suggest you read section 13, not MongoDB's FAQs or other explanations of how it works. The actual legal tech is very different from what you seem to think it is.

> They are still able to run cloud hosting just release their custom code?

The SSPL license reads:

> […] you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License.

> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

You just can't comply with those terms if you don't have access to the source code of your storage software, for example.

(but I'm not a lawyer, of course)

> And OSI thinking they alone get to decide what is and what is not open source is arrogant.

OSI invented the term “open source”: https://web.archive.org/web/20021001164015/http://www.openso... I think they are in a position to define what it means.

FWIW, JSONB supports JSON nulls, and all numbers are encoded as `numeric` type, storing integers and float64 values precisely (well, as much as possible for float64 values).

But you comment is correct for other data types like date-times and binary strings where some form of encoding/decoding is needed.

That’s easy, really. There was a person behind ferretdb-bot account – me. :) I still maintain our projects mostly manually.

That being said, we do have some automation in place. The public part is there: https://github.com/FerretDB/github-actions We are planning to do more there, open source the other part, and then blog about it.

Yeah, those were easier times for sure :)

How that compares to https://trivy.dev, https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck and other tools?

That’s generally not true. Only some companies have this «accreditation». Many of my IT friends were drafted.

> So it means that my open-source project docker images now can either be removed from github

Not from GitHub :)

Their FAQ: https://web.docker.com/rs/790-SSB-375/images/privatereposfaq...

Elastic wrote about that in 2015: https://www.elastic.co/blog/code-coverage-for-your-golang-sy.... I guess multiple people figured it out independently.

It is (non-sarcastically) good to see the Go team changing their opinion on the usefulness of it: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16537

I wish your “redesigns” did not remove useful features: https://app.codecov.io/gh/feedback/p/view-source-with-flags

From the paper:

> SnapFuzz will be made available to the community shortly after publication

> Like if Go developers want sanitizers equivalent to what llvm packages they'll have to build that themselves

Go uses LLVM’s ThreadSanitizer since 1.1.

That page says that example.com is registered by IANA. It makes no promises about it being plaintext HTTP only or even that HTTP service is available.

The linked blog post tried to explain it the best we could.

FerretDB co-founder there.

The order of fields is maintained by adding a special field with keys in the original order. For example, `{z: 1, a: {y:2, x:3}}` is stored as `{"a":{"x":3,"y":2,"$k":["y","x"]},"z":1,"$k":["z","a"]}`.

Additional types are stored as objects with special fields too. For example, binary values are stored as `{"$b": "<base 64 string>", "s": <subtype number>}`. The full mapping is there: https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB/blob/b7e8240607e043a858...

That was a typo. Thank you.

> We have now started serving US customers.

It is not clear from the website. I expected to see a list of countries somewhere, maybe even after clicking a Try Free button. But it seems to be happy to accept a credit card from any country.

The blog post says that pause saves battery, but what I really want to save on my laptop is RAM, and pause doesn't help there.

I think you confuse an example with the proxy itself: https://github.com/MangoDB-io/MangoDB

`git bisect run` and fuzzing are two tools in my toolbox that I don't use that often, but when I do, I'm always amazed by results.

That's not a metaphor, though.

Yandex CEO says there is no backdoor deal, just misunderstanding of the law by Samsung, and they asked Samsung to make those apps uninstallable: https://www.facebook.com/tigrankh/posts/10157500257791403
