Of course it is, but it's the kind of bigotry nowadays some people evangelize as good (by redefining racism), and what the twitter mob encourages.

Chain of events: I was tempted to try a respectful reply with substance, but then realized I wouldn't be allowed to discuss this here, due to moderator preference for "not talking politics". I was then [regrettably] tempted to write something with a "mic drop" feel, just to express my disagreement in an acceptably pithy way. And then it occurred to me that this whole sub-thread is Twitter-length comments. And I was a…

There was a huge thread yesterday on HN about this topic with many comments much longer than tweets. It is certainly a topic that can be discussed at length on HN. People were voted down and up, but no one was cancelled; we're all still here.

I'm not aware of any moderator preference against talking about this subject. Again: huge thread on it yesterday that persisted on the front page all day.

However, I don't think every single off-hand mention of race or gender needs to devolve into a subthread of 50 multi-paragraph comments. So I appreciate your decision to avoid it in this instance.

You already see this happening, on the IoT world there are plenty of competing FOSS OS clones, some of them POSIX based, common to all of them is the use of non-copyleft licenses.

How does copyleft relate to BDFL-style governance? Python, for example, had a BDFL until recently but isn't copyleft licensed.

Taking projects into new directions , possibly closed source, due to political disputes.

Without the legal obligation to upstream, the majority wins what happens afterwards.

I actually wonder how many request/s one gets from being on the top of HN.

not very high a previous post of mine got 500 points and stay #1 for a few hours. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22410448 traffic from it looks like this https://tuananh.net/2020/03/02/traffic-from-top-post-on-hack...

> Traffic stats on Cloudflare seems a bit inflated with the unique visitors at 36k. Maybe they do count bots as well there.

First screenshot looks like Google Analytics to me; I'd say it's more likely a lot of us have blocked it and Cloudflare's number is more accurate.

Ok, so many thank you here, thanks! It's very nice to read the comments here. But I hope to interact more on HN, since basically the idea is to write more blog posts, write more OSS software too. Just totally random :D I'll just do whatever every morning I want to do for a long time. Then maybe I'll find a new long term interest.

Thank you for all your work these years. Your blog was/is inspirational and I especially learnt a lot from your "writing an editor in 1000 lines" article, when every other example on the net used to use a library.

Thank you very much for all your time and effort in starting and shepherding this very important project (and also in finding a great home to continue the legacy).

Redis was (and continues to be a very integral) part of my startup's stack. We've also extended the redis protocol for all sorts of custom hacks.

I will miss your humility and patience in communicating the roadmap, technicalities and all around community work. A great all-round example for all of us to follow.

Thanks so much - and eagerly looking forward to your next set of projects!

Ciao Salvatore!! Hope to see you again soon in San Francisco! Onward and upward.

I am glad to read that you made a choice, as difficult as it might have been, and I hope it will make you happy (or happier).
