@nprofile…cgs9 I have seen an old thread of yours do the round on quora. It is not the first time I have seen it. And it did make me read Blindsight the first time.

@nprofile…2cpy honestly, I don't see a world where the universe doesn't make more quirky hardware or unique logic ideas that we will have to figure out and solve new weird problems around. Also sometimes the problem is too prickly to be solved by someone that doesn't understand the device (and no one knows that better than you, since LMDB coasts on the optimizations of the kernel that are quite hardware specific)

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 as far as I know, ERA does not manufacture any weapons, they only make radars. Not everyone is Raytheon or some other bullshit

open-source software is much more profitable to mega-corps
Also, yeah, stat is indeed from my ass, but I would argue that it is very optimistic. Of all the developers I personally know that have tried their hands at making a living wage from working open-source software, I know 0 that succeeded. It may be anecdotal, but that is a sample size of between 300 and 400 given the people I trained, that trained with me or worked with me. A few are still trying, I do what I can to support their projects, because I was there. Unless you were there for so long your software is infrastructure (eg curl, sqlite...) success is nigh impossible nowadays. Open-source was a career choice 20+ years ago, but nowadays if it is profitable it is generally because the free version is open-source freemium

@npub1x2v…ar98 for your formulation, you seem to think that not respecting license terms is OK, noted
Edit: substituted "agree" with "think" because it does not reflect my point of view on the question

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 let me reformulate, military Radar installation have saved far more people than they will ever cause the death of

- reply

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 yeah, that is why 99% of the software has been open-sourced and costs of software development are so low...
Come on, models that revolve around open-source generally revolve around offering support for the open-source software, selling it and praying no-one sells it for cheaper than you do, and donos. I see open-source devs working of software used by thousands of people collect 300-400 bucks a month and now hesitating to just abandon it
IT doesn't have a lot of ways for small actors to profit from it. Saying that everything should be GPL because otherwise it is unethical is just ignoring the 99% of open-source developers that want to try and make it their work, and fail

@npub1x2v…ar98 @npub1ufm…qhp4 yes, but these people can just then sell back your software as per the same licence, and they can sell it for cheaper than you, always

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 as far as I know, Radar has saved more people than it has killed over the past 80 years it has existed for

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 are you saying that software companies that survive off of something else than donations are always unethical?

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 you are right, building radar equipment is definitely the same as building missiles

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 try to ask any large organisation that must maintain some amount of secrecy to be profitable/viable (like a small company or a military contractor)

- reply

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub17xe…wru5 well, given the amount of efforts required to use GPL code in an even remotely closed source code-base due to the lack of linking exceptions, and the performance penalties associated, I kinda understand why it is a pain given that for many people GPL is the default

I am very confused by how that person was getting to the conclusion that a memory mapped file consumes any extra memory... I made some things inspired by your LMDB and never ever heard of any way to overuse memory. All that stands in RAM is operating system cache and things yet to be synced
Am I an idiot? Mmap seems very basic and all the file manipulation facilities of POSIX in general seem to be too simple to fuck up understanding them so how can that person reach that conclusion?

That is how I have seen such effect been played, like casting greater restauration on someone sitting in poison gas or drowning underwater

It is absolutely mind boggling what modern computers can do when we don't waste their performance, and yet we manage to precisely do that.
I have tested that I can have 100k players on a single server playing my game, provided that the server is a single core server with a 2.65GHz CPU from 10 years ago. Should that not be the norm? I don't understand how we fucked that up
