How are you buying cheques in a shop? Here in the UK I've only ever seen cheques handed out by banks preprinted with your account details on them. Why would anybody accept a cheque with a handwritten source account?

Well, they were internally discussing a proposed Code of Conduct. I imagine mods are bound by an NDA, and management are choosing not to share.

Well, the FSF/GNU disagree: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DeveloperViolate What kind of obligation do you think GPL/MIT/BSD/Apache could possibly place on the author?

OK, but that's not what the license linked to from the package page says. It doesn't say "Some products are unlimited use, and others are restricted as stated here". It says all products are restricted as stated there. I

Uh, we're talking mainly about doorbell cameras, or using these cameras for security.

Yeah, they charge more if you're on their cloud. Isn't that kinda the opposite?

All Windows servers on Azure already have to have "Software assurance". The license T&C for the last few years have been fairly clear you need to pay for software assurance to cloud host. Are they not simply closing the loopho

I routinely navigate in London where I walk out of a tube station and have absolutely no clue which way is which. The roads are unlabelled and all look the same and the GPS direction dot isn't quite good enough Last week, with this fea

Swap doesn't resolve this on a HDD though. The UI/terminal still locks up, and you still can't recover once you hit the point of thrashing. What really confuses me is that this kernel was developed when SSDs didn't exist

That is very interesting, thank you. And yes, the tone and approach in all the incidents I read through there seemed great.

I'm not saying Mozilla isn't a good organisation to run this, I'm saying it seems insane to have what seems like policies that don't allow for any proportional response. I don't know how involved you are, but to a l

My question was why this "regulatory agency" (without statutory powers) believes it is completely acceptable to cause direct harm without any discretion on the size of the risk. The CA is irrelevant, they're just a middle-man

Could somebody explain to me why Mozilla (or whatever organisation is using bugzilla here) are in a position to dictate policy here? If the majority of outstanding certificates were held by the Italian government, major banks and hospitals,

Both Chromium and Firefox will be removing it in 2020. Once it has been removed, legacy websites hosting flash media won't really be able to fund themselves, so I imagine in the absence of a large archiving programme, we'll just l

I'm in the UK... I just went to amazon.de and while the interface isn't the same (they make it harder to find the contact us form it seems), I still had the option to pick "call me" and then pick a german number.

No, of course other things are important. But if you measure only ancillary things, that's a pretty bad measure. I don't expect every one of my team members to understand the entire build system, testing setup, logging system. Tha

"Process improvements" is a bit weird. You measure software engineering performance by their dev ops skills? It's a completely different skillset, and you're probably only measuring how eager people are to have breadth o
