does anybody know when Wireguard is going to be merged? can it be done before the release that will be deployed in Ubuntu 20.04 next April or is it too late?

I've read this article and I am yet to conclude why Go and not Rust. All your talk is very generic and no proof or concrete argument to support article title.

I hope you just do your job and prevent those systematic organized promotional posts by such companies on HN to get free advertising. The entire accusation in OP turned out to be invalid in the end as shown in many top voted comments. YOU know that this company with its fishy history (taking money on behalf of publishers without their knowledge or approval) and business model has been systematically exploiting HN and you're doing nothing but warning me. Banning me won't solve the problem anyway.

thanks for highlighting my opinion on this scam, I am too lazy to write the same argument every time.

What's funnier is that Brave """product""" is nothing more but a theme over Chrome that any 12 yo kid can do in 2 hours, an adblocker based on FOSS blacklists and some compilation flags that prevent Google from enabling its own server features and tracking system and redirecting the tracking system to their own servers. Yet their entire PR and marketing is based on "Google is evil!". In any other industry this scam would have been shut down and the management would have been sued to probably jail time. But in tech, many things are blurry.

Okay, what if I want to offer total freedom to users but not for other competing companies? There is no single license that can protect a company that creates a FOSS product. It's just ridiculous that a company creates a product for free and another uses it as is and sells it for profit by just "hosting" it. Esepcially for the case of a database, the only way to make money is by having managed service or licesning it to cloud vendors. I can't think of any other way of monetizing such a product

For the case of Amazon sponsoring linux, it's in the very interest of Amazon that Linux stays alive and active because all their billions from AWS comes by running linux kernel as infrastructure, not to mention having the advantage to influence the components being added and maintained that result directly in more profit for them. Linux foundation is totally different in its structure and goals from a for-profit company like Mongo.

this is totally beyond me. So a company making a profit from a product made by another company by just hosting it is not exploitation? Does this happen in any industry? A company that makes product for free and another takes it as is and sells it is not an exploitation?

afaik the user doesn't pay for MongoDB, you can use it freely, read the code, modify; if I understand correctly SSPL is basically AGPL/GPL but with clause that cloud vendors that want to use this product to provide a SaaS version must pay to the maker. I don't think this is any unfair esepcially if this project was made from scratch by the maker and not a fork off another OSS project.

If MongoDB started as a community OSS then I am wrong in this case, but about other open-source companies companies that want to protect their rights in not getting exploited by other for-profit entities that might use the product and profit from it? even AGPL guaranties nothing in most real-world cases.

Can somebody tell me what is wrong is SSPL? I just don't understand what this hostility is all about. A company creates a crucial infrastructure component which is a database, open sources it, everybody can use it for free, cloud vendors started just installing it on their servers or making clones of it and making profit off it, everybody is using a component that took years and millions of dollars to develop but the company that created it cannot even get profit from its own product. I just can't understand why would a company open sources its products if this is the result. The product is free to use, but for profit entities using this product MUST pay the maker if they are using it as a SaaS which is a zero effort operation.

This just doesn't happen in any other industry, if you go to a baker, you must pay for the bread, you can't in most cases even ask how this bread was made or know for sure that price was fair or not, and mind you this is just slice of bread, while in technology it takes years of experience and knowledge just to create something as crucial as a database, and yet people expect everything to be free, very liberal licensing to even profit from the product without sharing it with the original maker. I don't even like or even respect MongoDB as a database, but the amount of hostility towards anybody trying to make money off a FREE and OPEN SOURCE complex software is totally beyond me.

Please don't speak as if you give a single damn about publishers. """Your""" adblocking system blocks the ads that publishers get revenue from, you're simply saying, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE MONEY THROUGH US. WITH OUR VIRTUAL WORTHLESS CRYPTOCURRENCY. With enough users, your worthless cryptocurrency won't become worthless anymore.

The entire business model is disgusting and should be illegal to be honest.You're rebranding an entire huge project called Chromium and simply blocking revenues for publishers and wasting ads of advertisers unless they advertise and see ads THROUGH YOU and publishers get revenues through your worthless crypto-currency/

1. Build a theme over Chromium

2. Add your ads and tracking system over it

3. Brand it as "X Browser"

This is not a browser, this is a skin over Chrome with a business model that's built over a crypto scam. Your army of online shills and your attempts to connect yourselves with reputable online entities such as Wikipedia won't change that fact.

The thing is Google is punishing me for using Firefox with recaptchas everywhere. Recaptchas with Firefox needs like 5 or even more attempts (the slow ones) while Chrome is resolved automatically or just one attempt at maximum.

It's amazing that one person can do all this. It really takes a huge amount of dedication, knowledge and high IQ to invent a language from scratch alone. I think he is trying to Rustify Golang which is a thing I always wanted to do before giving up entirely on Golang.

Even though I hate Facebook, but most politicians do such things only to get featured in the news. They neither understand nor even care about what they are talking about.

Just a few minutes after he submitted this post, it was no. 3 on the frontpage. It is clear that this was organized. Please check it out even it may be hard to verify.

Taxpayers money well spent

This is beyond awesome. Best HN extension I've ever used so far. Thank you.

good if you're the manager not if you're the dev

it's a mediocre language, in fact it's the most mediocre language I have ever seen, that is being pushed by managers who want to lower hosting costs and faster time to market with good runtime performance.

do what? why did you delete my comment?

That's the kind of talk I always hear from mediocre devs once they reach their first management job.

I am going to get banned for this, but 4chan's /g/ is unironically a nice place

> In order to use Uranus, please install Docker in advance

so looks like I've been using it the wrong way all along

Does this service work also per project or per user only?

This is amusingly uninformed. Describing Brave as adware is generous to say the least, Brave is more of a scam than a business. The kind of scams you would find in tech bubbles like what happened in late 1990s.

Will you stop posting your fake wisdom derived from your entrepreneurship """experience""" if Google decided to blacklist your website from appearing on its search results? Your entire """great company""" is dependent on the generosity of Google with exploiting famous search keywords like "meme maker", "meme generator". What will you do if Google put your """great company""" domain on just the second page results?

that's really a nice comparison feature

Welcome to capitalism, little bird.

I like the way medium.com deals with IDs, 10 random hex chars (i.e. > 10^12) put at the end of the slug are more than enough for most use cases that can be addressed via a url and still clean for search engines and humans.

But also the way letterboxd and also quora deal with URLs is admirable but it needs special care (at least in the case of quora)
