Why are they bound to GPLv2? It was my understanding that original authors had the ability to relicense as GPLv3.

IIRC this is in fact done in some commercial turbines.

How is this in any way a new approach to journalism? It is a network of editorial / expert writers. Online and offline publications have been doing this for over a century.

Hell yes. It will be really great to experience some consistency around aws api calls with a single cli experience. I love the boto project, but both the class structure and sporadic cli tools in the project take inputs in a non-uniform way

Well, I can vouch that it's pretty awesome. But I'm on the saltstack team, so I'm a bit biased. However, I can say that we get a daily stream of new users over in #salt on IRC and many of them find it preferable to Puppet and Chef.

That's really too bad. We've been pulling elasticsearch's .deb files from the downloads page on their github repository. Not everything is conveniently installed from source.

Thank you for being responsive and honest.

"We experienced 18 minutes of complete unavailability along with sporadic bursts of slow responses and intermittent errors for the entire day." Well, I can say we experienced worse than that. Our private repositories were unavailable starti

Direct uploading like this has not been possible through XHR as CORS support was only added this past year. However, you could mitigate it by handling the CORS headers through a proxy, using flash, or a couple other methods. You could, howe

I am also a CTO for a small startup in Seattle. We now have an engineering team of 4 and I find myself oscillating between playing these roles. At this stage, I have to make sure I don't ignore either position. If I ignore coding, I begin t

Sounds like a pretty good conversion rate to me.

I'm very excited to give this a try. Congrats on the mvp release.

Python makes the front page here almost every day. I think this thread is being trolled.

This is hard even when you aren't dealing with micropayment levels. There are not a lot of services that provide this kind of thing. ACH is a pain as well.

gittip and flattr are examples of an emerging gift economy. If that doesn't appeal to you, then you don't have to participate in it. The point is not that people are receiving market rate for services rendered. It is a way to thank, and per

Actually, even in big US cities results are really bad in some cases. in Seattle, for example, searching for common well known intersections brings up results halfway across the country.

I would love to know more about this two pass migration strategy.

I am looking forward to reading more about this. For a slightly different approach (Python + 0MQ) with a very active community, please check out http://saltstack.org/

Instantaneous nonlocal action does not make it nondeterministic, it just makes it unpredictable.

It's been 3.5 long years since first feature request, but thank you!

Hey whit, So my understanding is the payment service is more settled now. What will be the focus for the upcoming weeks? What is the next major feature? Thanks for this great platform!

Just FYI, for xhr to S3 you can set up a proxy which fakes the CORS headers. You might have already been aware of that. Filepicker looks neat. I wish it had been around when we were building our service.

The Stranger disappoints, as usual. Easier to poke fun at people's clothes and other shallow topics than provide something of substance. Don't get me wrong, I love the occasional quip, but the author has put zero effort into understanding t

It's not a new idea, but I think it is finally the idea's time. There was Prism, and there's FluidApp for OS X. There was also MS's active desktop as others have pointed out.

The biggest red flag for me is how he is suddenly assaulted without any warning or prior dialogue taking place. That doesn't mean that any assault was justified, but it means we are not being told something.

This article is misleading on several accounts. First, it completely ignores the incredible difference in range you can get with 4g vs. Wifi. This is directly related to the frequencies you are operating at. Secondly, the reason that WiFi f
