My impression is that it's not amazing anywhere, but I've heard Burnaby (for example) is a bit more development friendly than Vancouver. I'm interested to see what happens in the next couple of years — Ken Sim (Vancouver&#x27

Certificates, which makes this pretty nasty, because it implies that there's a potential RCE if you can trigger any sort of certificate parsing remotely. (Would sending a TLS client certificate when initiating a HTTPS request do this o

I worked on a product that shipped as a closed source binary .so (across four OSes and two architectures) for almost seven years, and that's exactly what we did too — build on the oldest libc and kernel any of your supported distros (o

The Canadian government have put up a mild roadblock that will be addressed with non-substantive changes to the structure of the merger, enforced by a little known, toothless regulatory agency who will be instructed to look the other way. T

The screen resolution is my least favourite aspect of the Framework, for sure. Not a deal breaker, but every now and then my eye catches a poorly aliased bit of text and gets sad. I've basically resigned myself to running Sway in 1.5x

My current employer had an interesting twist on this: they contacted my references, but not to get the actual references (they'd already decided to hire me), but to find out what sorts of things they could do to help me do my best work

They were linked, though: it was unusual to have Firewire on a PC, so even if iTunes had had Windows support at the time I don't know that it would have made much difference. It was the combination of USB and Windows support that made

I really appreciate the response. Thanks!

Maybe more feedback than questions, although if there are roadmap items that would address these it'd be good to know! I'm really excited about this — besides repairability, I think the USB-C expansion cards are great, and a reall

Given recent events around licensing, such as Elastic moving to the SSPL, choosing an MIT licence is certainly bold! Do you require a CLA from contributors?

I've been running an XPS 13 (with the high DPI screen) for the last 2¾ years as my Linux daily driver, replacing the X230 I had before it. No complaints; I'd recommend it if the 13" ultrabook form factor is what you're l

I don't think it'll be all that bad: one advantage of Raspberry Pis having been out for several years is that there's already been some demand for ARM and ARM64 builds of software. Closed source, commercial software might be

That characterisation feels a bit unfair on MH, who certainly weren't at fault for the plane shot down over Ukraine, and may not have been responsible for the disappearance MH370 either, depending on which theory you think is most like
