IBM's decision to stop publicly releasing Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code contrasts with Red Hat's previous approach. Red Hat, as an independent open-source company, had chosen to publicly release its source code and pay its engineers. On the other hand, Oracle promises to make the binaries and source code for its Linux distribution publicly and freely available, welcoming community and commercial downstream distributions.
Oracle smacks IBM for their handling of RHEL, the folks at The Dam share a Slack clone in 5 lines of Bash, Justin Jaffray writes up 13 ways to think about joins, llama.cpp learns web chat thanks to a contribution by Tobi Lütke & Meta is willing to pay 3 engineers to remove Python’s GIL.
