    The person responding at a big corporation is often unable to, for practical purposes as a result of policies other than in exceptional circumstances. When you write in and ask the…

    You would be lying - and people will call you out on this, because they will find out that you have in fact issued refunds for products with expired warranties.

    12 meters would have been "deep" where I was :) I called them "disco" dives. Dive down a bit, show them some lights and some fish turn around a few times and back up. A play on the…

    Yes - they ship open source and are generally more comfortable with open source licensing because they have much more experience with it. Expecting an entertainment industry org (w…

    The problem dive locations have is a lot of people a) overstate experience or what they remember, b) are unfamiliar or have not tested equip they will be diving with and c) equip i…

    Plenty of resorts and other destinations offer resort and discovery diving. You do need be 10 years old, but no prior experience needed, after some basics some places let you do 1-…

    Dude - let me make this super simple. These rendering pipelines import the SDKs and APIs they connect with. The pipelines have tons have high value custom code. Under the GPL, they…

    They don’t want to open source the tools and programs they develop as part of their pipelines that tie into GPl or each other - GPl is viral and a library import triggers it. In te…

    The work around folks use is to claim just new stuff is agpl and skip contribs sign off. After stuff is mixed gets harder to pull apart. AWS just had to go through that exercise wi…

    If you import a GPL library into your plugin your plug-in / add on is now GPL. They don’t want that. GPL has what is called anti-tivoisation / DRM. This license was designed to spe…

    As long as it’s actual production of limitless power in 30 - half the time these things are r&d stuff. 20 years to limitless power in production is great.

    Current version of GPL is an absolute no go, especially if you need to import an api / sdk style interface into your extensions and tooling - the GPL is viral. You import a GPL lib…

    Current version of GPL is an absolute no go for many larger places - even Ubuntu ended up dropping it for parts of stack - risks are way too high

    The current version of GPL is 100% toxic at many places I know of - this is not overly conservative lawyers - you have all sorts of rules around releasing your encryption keys - se…

    Except of course the corporate folks who are licensing under AGPL who can and do then take contributors code and make available a commercial version that no one else is allowed to …

    You realize Apple is designing against more advanced nodes than intel - and from where I stand intel has nothing competitive in small form factors

    I’m on ipv6 at home and aws is finally pretty good on IPv6 for me - security groups / vpc/ instances - is a very nice feeling

    Yeah - no question this should be fixed and it is a bit annoying that it hasn't been.

    Thanks for this, very helpful. Could they have submitted patches to fix the problems based on same tooling or was that not possible (I am not close to kernel development flow)?
