There is a fourth control of course which comes into play when nothing else will give room: quality. You can take many shortcuts to deliver in time, full scope, with the resources available. But the result will be buggy and/or unmainta

Juniper has offices and partners all over EU, for example in Paris [0]. Similar to Extreme [1]. I don't know what problems you encountered in France, but I can assure you both of them are very well represented across the whole EU, even

For example detecting where the device is and adjusting the current in separate coils accordingly? I don't buy the explanation that this is about interferences. It doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem to me.

Juniper? Extreme? The list is not very long, but doesn't contain just Cisco.

(I didn't downvote you FWIW) The difference here is that the incentives of workers and this company are aligned. Either workers start making some serious wages and the company gets their money back (with interest), or both lose - worke

Well, there is an option of selling services which is even worse, both for developers and the product itself. Or, there are Fair Source License / Commons Clause / Business Source License /... that allow developers to capture

Iiuc, they are basically using open core model, with core app being free/open/libre under Apache license, and extensions proprietary with code available non-free/non-open/non-libre Elastic license. At least to me the sit

It's not that trivial either (search for "VAT MOSS" to learn more), but otherwise your point is valid.

Interestingly enough, I have seen gas stations very close to each other with very different prices. This was close to an airport so I assume the idea is to rip off tourists who don't have time to search for cheapest fuel before retur

This sounds.. awful. I'm sure there are reasons, but hiding information this way makes you seem incompetent and unsure of yourself (you as Amazon, not you personally) in my eyes. Edit: I assume you are speaking as employee of Amazon o

Iiuc the requirement holds only for the merchant and is similar to requirements of many credit card payment processors about holding a bank account with their chosen bank. The reason is probably the same (transaction costs).

That's a big "if" though, only a very small percentage of people can do that. And of those that can, do you want to? If someone solves this problem nicely, why invent your own solution? There are many other problems that are

Thank you for taking the time to explain. Also the fact that a total stranger to this code (like me) can even reason about it, is incredible. My point was not so much that there is a bug, but more that the assumptions that this function mak

Love the code and how it is explained! Beautiful. Not a security expert, but in time_independent_strcmp(), first comment about strlen()s: couldn't the attacker use his own accounts with known passwords to determine the length of some o

> You can purchase an SSL certificate through one of our web partners or a Certificate Authority. Read this article to learn more. Really? No mention of Lets Encrypt? Does anyone still buy certificates nowadays, especially for dev sites?

Yes, it is clear, and I appreciate your thoughts a lot! I am just hoping that this class of users is in minority... ;) Good luck to you too, and thank you!

Thank you (and siblings) for an answer! I especially appreciate the reasons given. You are of course correct - requesting a commercial license for any potential competitor will limit users' options with respect to the provider they cho

A bit OT, but honest question: would it bother you if it was almost-open-source, that is, if license forbid leechers (other cloud providers selling competitive offering)? I am thinking of releasing a product under Apache + Common Clause, Ze

They are from Prague (Czech Republic). While not SV, I can assure you they could easily find VCs there (or abroad, maybe in Russia?) if they wanted to. Not everyone's goal is to build with investors' money. Sometimes it is easier

Interesting - is the model that learns from (semantically indexed) code bound by its license? One could argue it is derivative work.

I am using dynamic languages and have for years, but I don't see this as something that would help me in my work. I mean, autocomplete is nice sometimes, but when I know what to write and where, those little autocomplete boxes just get

Been there, but with Mercurial. We chose it because it has sane CLI interface (as opposed to git), but eventually had to switch because we wanted to use GitLab. Not much difference all in all, except with git I still need to search the net

by Drdrdrq 8y ago
To be fair, almost everyone hates it when you show them they are wrong. Especially in the setting where they are supposed to be judging you , remember? And even in normal settings it pays to think about how some critique will be received

Well, Stradivarius was exceptional at the time, and the fact that these violins still hold their own after more than 2 centuries means that it's not just look and feel. But yes, there are (some) better instruments available nowadays

I must thank you for your question, and must (embarrasing as it is) admit I was wrong. I started a reply stating that one can no longer use <i> elements and must instead include svgs, but then I decided to double check - and found I w
