Rust is to programming languages what a drunken orgy is to a night out.
That is to say, you have no idea where all these new tattoos came from have a head pounding migraine afterwards and some the hell how you learned how to use Rust as an end result.
Just fyi, Randall who makes xkcd has a very permissive approach and offers hotlinks on the site for easy embedding. I think he prefers that you hotlink rather than reupload.
The pointed gun and Rust is giving me Alec Baldwin vibes, especially in the context of Netflix. Then I realized what instance I had landed in from All.
If I included cussing in “[YTP] Intoducing Apple Pro”, then I wouldn’t have been able to show it in my self introduction presentation in a high school class. I can’t guarantee that cleanness wouldn’t have a similar benefit for this meme.
Unless you’re using Linode or something other general purpose VPS which you have installed a Minecraft server onto, having to use anything other than a WebUI to exchange files with the server really strikes me as sketchy. A dedicated can’t-run-anything-else Minecraft hosting provider even giving random users SSH access is sketchy enough but requiring you to use it to update the game… that level of not having an IT guy is just a security nightmare waiting to happen.
Guessing by your comment that you’ve actually rented a general purpose Linux VPS and not gotten suckered into Honest Pete’s Discount CreeperHost. In that case, carry on.
The last time I’ve rented a Minecraft server was probably over 10 years ago, and as far as I can tell, at the time having to upload stuff through ftp was normal.
Although reading this thread has also taught me that I know nothing about how deployment works and I need to catch up on that.
2015 latest revision with DDR3. That’s not living, that’s palliative care.
In all seriousness, OpenPOWER and Power9 look cool, but they’re still fighting to overcome the issues IBM and Motorola designed into the architecture. Fairly modern OpenPower9 example here www.raptorcs.com
Ah but you see, in the first sentence I was only pretending to be dismissive of the joke, because my comment had a second sentence (gasp), where I expanded upon the original joke with another observation of a particularly failed CPU architecture.
It is funny because I used verbal misdirection and a relevant reference from inside the community. And now it gets objectively funnier in my second comment when you make me explain it.
Here’s the core issue. The developer didn’t know his rights, and made a mistake. I’m not criticizing, people make a career dealing with crap like this. But if you want to make a business out of something, it’s worth it to do some research or talk to a lawyer. I believe the MIT license has its place but, from what the OP said, this isn’t it.
I did not want to make a business out of this library. I don’t want money for it.
All I would’ve wanted is that the people at Apple would’ve given me a heads up beforehand, so I would’ve been prepared for it and not caught on surprise. And a that they do a version upgrade when I release a new bugfix release.
This is not a license issue. I was well aware of the consequences when I chose the MIT license. This is not about money.
You specifically said you chose the MIT license because you wanted to use it in commercial projects. That’s business, no matter how small. As the owner of the property, you could have used any and all licenses available to you. Also, if you wanted to require users of your code to attribute or notify you, you could have. If you want to be disappointed in their behavior that’s perfectly fine, too. Corporations usually disappoint if you have any altruistic expectations of them.
In this regard you are right. I could’ve chosen AGPL and use it in my commercial project nonetheless. I wasn’t aware of that at the time, and that was a mistake.
That said, I don’t expect all users to notify me. But if a company like Apple, with millions of users, exposes me to even a fraction of its users - then yes. I expect a mail beforehand. I did not sign up for this.
Agreed. Free licenses should NEVER be applied to Apple-specific tools. They don’t want to help the FOSS community, so we shouldn’t help them back. Make them pay for it, or make them make their own version.
You can use your library for commercial projects that you have. Just have dual license that requires payment for commercial use or something similar. You don’t have to pay yourself
I think that’s why Github suggests MIT as default. Unaware people will just put that. Most open source people just code things they want without thinking much on other aspects. We really need some sort of enforcement to stop companies banking on voluntary work done for the community.
It’s probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don’t have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don’t care enough to worth through the paperwork.
If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.
