There is the right place and the right time for expressing dissenting opinion. An announcement about someone passing away is simply not it. I don't know how else I could explain this. This is just basic decency.

The frontier of high-value scenarios we enable will march outward, but we have strengths and proven capabilities on which we will draw. What a sentence!

Is it actually a good idea to put less politically/socially savvy people into powerful positions?

Basically, I can guarantee that killing cookies would lead to 0% adoption of HTTP 2.0 forever, due to the same inertia that is holding Python 3 or IPv6 back. Doesn't matter if there's a better mechanism included that does the same

Yes but this can be exploited if a trusted backend server (which is much more common) gets compromised. Basically if you have nginx in front of Node and you manage to execute arbitrary code in Node you could use this as an attack vector to

I understand what your are saying yet I can't help but feel that you guys are being a bit unreasonable. You know what would be a dick move? If they killed the open source version and sued the current users of the open source license

How is giving it away as open source software a dick move?

BerkeleyDB was distributed with the "Sleepycat License" since 1996 which is similar to GPL in terms of permissiveness so it's not like BerkeleyDB has been distributed with a permissive license in the past. If the Sleepycat Li

I don't understand the sentiments in this thread. They own the thing. They do whatever they want with it. They have paid good money for it. Yet they have chosen to give it away as free software (with a license even Richard Stallman and

Very true; when I finally quit smoking after a decade of being a heavy smoker I have found that it only took a me few days to get through the physical addiction but it took me months to get over my psychological addiction (e.g. not think of

I've heard this argument several times and I disagree with it. Organizations are basically groups of people; it's entirely possible that some people in an organization are more competent than others. There could be extreme differe

So how does this work? If I talk to my wife (she is a US citizen, I am European) on the phone about, say for instance, groceries, are the NSA going to listen to it?

In the past few years we had a lot of success using Mac Minis with OS X as servers. With the latest batch of Mac Minis we have purchased we tried to move over from OS X to Linux, partially because people tend to be more familiar with admini

Linux doesn't "just work" on Apple hardware. None of the major distros can currently get the Ethernet adapter on recent Mac Minis working. As a result, we have to run OS X on a bunch of Mac Mini servers we've planned to

Employers hand out bonuses to incentivise enployees to stay. Employees do unpaid overtime to incentivise employers to keep them. My point is that they are fundamentally similar concepts. It's great that you're in a position where

Is it possible that there was someone else who was more talented, competent or dedicated than you and deserved that internship even more than you but simply couldn't afford working for free? I'm not making a value judgement here, I'm just p

Public transport in London is anything but cheap. It is simply the most expensive urban public transport system I know of in terms of cost of monthly passes (or travelcards). Currently a monthly travelcard in zones 1-2 is £116.80 ($177.30).

The typical problem with what you're advocating is that in an enterprise environment typically your application is communicating with a number of external data sources that already make a bunch of assumptions about data, whether they're rea

I don't think this is a "programme-type" thing. Generally, people are often mean, especially if they can get away with it or they can forget that the other person is also a human being (both of them are very easy to do on the Internet). Wom

Throwing caching at poorly written database code is exactly like when parents tell their children to tidy their room and then they shove everything under the bed. You can only do that for so long, at some point you need to clean that room u
