Is not the first time I've seen a good technical post from them.

Not up to date enough / unavailable / I don't want to compile. Spin the wheel, pick a reason.

Okay, but how about you address my question now? If the effects are the same as GPL but it has a lot of downsides, why would you use it? What is its selling point?

Wait, so you're saying the effect of this license is essentially the same as GPL, but you still think it's a good idea to use it? Even though this license is AFAIK incompatible with most copyleft licenses, thus hindering your ability to use software licensed under these terms and restricting the use of your software by open source projects that operate under a different license?

What is the benefit that makes it worth that high a cost?

You mean Xkill doesn't work?

Edit: had a stroke.

Where is this from and how can I watch it?

Not really. It was a local network, and sure the latency increased linearly with the number of nodes, but for a small LAN party it would be quite serviceable.

Is CW in the room with us now?

[–] Colloidal 4 points 5 days ago

...or so I've been told 👀

But they pinky swore!

 

It's pages and pages of this. Maybe you want to restrict who can log in and create repositories.

What is NoSQL good for? (self.learn_programming)
 

I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.

So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.

  1. What problem is it trying to solve?
  2. What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
  3. Where are its weaknesses?
  4. Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
