The end of owned hardware. In the glorious future, you will rent your hardware and you will like it.

There's also a CLA with full copyright assignment, so yeah, I'd steer clear of that one: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/main/CLA.md

It is the angle that is important to ME, a European user. I would happily throw moneydollars at the browser project but the Mozilla suits won't allow me to, for whatever-the-fuck reason.

What do you mean by 'manage?' In your mind, what are you planning to do in the future that you need my full copyright as a change owner?
Re:MinIO is now in maintenance-mode on Thursday December 04, 2025 @01:14AM (#46144342)
Then it's not the CLA that ensures project survivability. It's the strong core team you mentioned.
Re:MinIO is now in maintenance-mode on Thursday December 04, 2025 @01:13AM (#46144336)
That doesn't require full copyright assignment, though, right?
Re:MinIO is now in maintenance-mode on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @03:20PM (#46139547)
They have a CLA that assigns copyright to them: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/5b0a3a07645364d998e3f5...

So, arguably worse than MinIO.

If you honestly believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.

In the context of code, where review bandwidth is the bottleneck, I think it's spot on. In the arts, comparatively -- be they writing, drawing, or music -- you can feel almost at a glance that something is off. There's a bit of a vibe check thing going on, and if that doesn't pass, it's back to the drawing board. You don't inherit technical debt like you do with code.

I do the same. Case in point: I started to follow someone's blog because of their technical achievements, then I realized I don't like their political views _at all_, but I keep them on the list mostly to keep myself on my toes.

Re:Rust's Ugly Syntax (2023) on Friday August 30, 2024 @04:00AM (#41398632)
If you think of it as 'a implements b', it makes sense for both lifetimes and (other) subtypes: If lifetime `a` implements `b`, it is obviously valid for `b` (and maybe longer).

Re:My Favorite Algorithm: Linear Time Median Finding on Thursday July 25, 2024 @08:28AM (#41067853)
Why is it okay to drop not-full chunks? The article doesn't explain that and I'm stupid.

Edit: I just realized that the function where non-full chunks are dropped is just the one for finding the pivot, not the one for finding the median. I understand now.

Re:The Linux audio stack demystified (and more) on Tuesday July 23, 2024 @03:10AM (#41043400)
That part is simply wrong. Pipewire uses Alsa to drive the soundcard. Alsa is a hard requirement.
We're only minutes away from GAYPEG, an image format which you pronounce with a soft g, like in GIF.
Don't get me wrong, the grammar is definitely easy to understand, but IMHO that's just another point for the 'learn early in life, or struggle' opinion. Adults have a much easier time with more complicated grammatical rules (hi, German!) or even rules with lots of exceptions (hello, Russian!). But having to remember how to spell and pronounce every other word is akin to hell for an adult. (I'm already struggling with it while learning Russian.)

Still doesn't hold a candle to Mandarin or Japanese, of course. These guys are just on a level of their own. :)
