It's a good point. Imagine if one of those open source projects that Elastic uses licensed there own little bit of code under the SSL. Elastic would flip out.


Ugh. Promoting isolation exercises should be banned.


Isolation exercises have their place. Lots of folks have muscle imbalances due to occupational injuries and trauma and isolation exercises are a way to correct those imbalances. Obviously see a physical therapist before going ham and making it worse ;).

It also helps to do isolation exercises to strengthen weaker spots in the body that would be the main muscle in a compound movement. I.E. doing leg curls after squats to get a higher volume on those muscles and increase growth.


You'll notice I have them weighted. I put compound lifts with the max weight (100) so they will be shown first.


Would be useful if you went the other way and showed what muscles each exercise affected.


That's available from the directory.

Yeah, this! I would also like to make a list and pick exercises that I like and then it suggests more more exercises that can fill the gaps of what I still need.


Blanket statements like this are not useful.

Of course compound lifts are king for most people but there are all sorts of cases for doing isolation exercises. Rehab, strengthening deficiencies, bodybuilding etc.. are all valid use cases for isolation.


how much do you squat?


"Shady" take-over of plugins/apps is just a big a suspicious fail as allowing apps to gain access to all contacts on mobile phones.

Google never really cared about user privacy at all.


I thought it had been renamed Typescript?


Because you can't fork it and do whatever you want with it.


You can't "do whatever" with plain GPL-licensed code either yet linux is considered open and free source code.


You can't? I mean presumably you can't fork it and re-license the fork, but that's not exactly new.


> The SSPL restrictions apply when the licensed software is used to provide a service.

Wrong. It only affects code going forward. Elastic can't change the license of existing code.


It's not open source though.


Yes, it is not. But who cares? What I care about as a user is repairability:

* can I inspect source and build it myself?

* can I fix it?

* can I share modifications with others?

Many of the new "cloud protection licenses" offer this, yet they are (by definition) not opensource.


I think this is the right way to look at things, after all, these were the orignal "why" arguments in favour of open source. If we can get the same benefits while also protecting open products from megacorps like AWS, that's a better licence than a true open source licence


> If we can get the same benefits while also protecting open products from megacorps like AWS, that's a better licence than a true open source licence

That's your opinion, of course. IMO, there's a type of magic that happens when software is under a truly non-restrictive license. You get a level of quality and reliability in the software that is unmatched by what you get with any proprietary equivalent.

Unfortunately, most people don't really believe in FOSS. And that's okay. But boy am I getting frustrated with these companies that are happy to preach about how "open source" is amazing, until someone else is making some profit with their software and then suddenly the (extremely vague) restrictive licenses start rolling out.


The only entity who says it's not "open source" is the OSI, which is mostly funded by corporations, who are in the business of cloud computing.


Both the Debian Free Software Guidelines[1] and the GNU Free Software Definition proscribe limiting fields of endeavor. The OSD[3] borrows heavily from the DFSG.

I remember reading (alas, I can't find my source) a spokesperson for the OSI admitting to the existence of licenses that meet the OSD that they don't want to be OSI-approved because they don't add enough value versus the cost of proliferation of licenses that are substantially similar.

These definitions were written a long ago, in a time when cloud computing wasn't even a buzzword yet.

But I read them and couldn't find anything addressing fields of endeavor. GNU's "four essential freedoms", which imho are a little naive in retrospect, don't say anything about this. They say anyone should be able to "sell copies", but SSPL doesn't disallow this either.

Debian obviously didn't address it either. They clarify: " They can even try to sell it. In practice, it costs essentially no money to make electronic copies of software. Supply and demand will keep the cost down."

I.e. they only allowed it because they thought the free market will take care of it, and didn't imagine how cloud provides will become monopolies of access.

"As a result, you can buy a Debian release on several CDs for just a few USD." - Lol.. that's like trying to apply lessons from the bible to modern life.

Just to broaden the discussion, "fields of endeavor" doesn't just mean cloud services, but also whether you can prevent your software from being used in weapons, or other such morally objectionable applications.


> GNU's "four essential freedoms", which imho are a little naive in retrospect, don't say anything about this.

"The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose."

That clearly includes purpose of running the progam as a cloud service and profiting from selling it SaaS-style to third parties.


> their code

Meaning the entire codebase of the infrastucture that provides the offering. I.e. the underlying code behind AWS. Not a big deal right?


I wonder what will happen to the AWS ElasticSearch offering.


WARNING - it's much, much slower than DosBOX due to more accurate emulation. This means it won't run some games fast enough.
