I presume my comment was one of the ones you were referring to. You just did what I was suggesting: you explain how your account was inappropriately (IMO, based on your explanation) shut down. These types of stories should be shared when

Being shocked about this happening in 2019 in either Apple's or Google's app store represents an incredible lack of even cursory research on the author's part. Unless the author shares specific details showing that the ban o

If your time horizon is short (months to a couple of years) going all-in with a vendor can work quite well. Over longer time horizons (several years or more), it's often not so great. Forgetting about the costs involved (i.e. they kn

I didn't say they were equivalent, just that for those who have only worked in large companies, there are some weeds in that nice green grass they might have been admiring. I would disagree that it's possible to build a strategic

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. On the other hand, in smaller companies you have to deal with the egos and personality quirks of those at the top because there's nowhere for you to hide from them. Pick your poison.

Back in the day, they were much less expensive than most of the other registrars. Now it's mainly inertia in the same way people still have AOL or Yahoo accounts.

To make matters worse, 40 years ago most people didn't even have answering machines... most of the time the phone just rang and rang. Somehow we muddled through. Your point is spot on re: not being reachable 24/7 by the entire w

Sure, many things have been contentious... changes in general meet with resistance. That's not a uniquely Red Hat, or even Canonical, thing. But in the end, and this is just my impression as I'm no longer a major user of either

I think it largely was Canonical that was the issue. Every time they've pushed something that they designed/developed it always seemed to me that they were more attempting to solve their business model problem rather than a Linux

Actually, you can get closer to the original Smalltalk: https://lively-web.org/users/bert/Smalltalk-78.html (this is an actual port of Smalltalk-78 that runs in your browser)

Well it's just Linux so you definitely can and that's what I do. As a result I've been running my pi 2 on the same card for nearly 4 years now with no issues. But if your point is that it should do it out of the box for you

How so? I would classify the ARM M0 (most likely what's in those devices) as a microcontroller-class device. Yes, it's a SOC... but so is the Atmel AVR and almost every other microcontroller these days. I tend to classify devic

The author sounds like they were confused as to who the customer is for Enterprise Sales. It's always the person / team who is paying for, not the person / team who is using your product or service. The companies that do we

There are people who have an actual, genuine passion for things they get paid to do esp. in tech. The issue is when it becomes a corporate mantra parroted by people who not only don't love it but don't even care about it that it

Even your keyboard has a microcontroller in it. The subsystems in a PC used to be far more independent of the CPU: sound cards had features like wave table synthesis which could offload playback work from the CPU, SCSI disk controllers cou

But there's the rub: they are claiming the API is copyrightable, not just the code that implements it. Independently coming up with the code is irrelevant if the API being (re)implemented is copyrightable.

Yeah, annoying is probably the word I'd use. Not so bad that I contemplated switching back to stable but nowhere near as trouble free as I recall things normally being this far along into the cycle. I'll be updating my mirrors t

I generally stick with 'stable' for the first year of it's release (since it's reasonably fresh) then switch to 'testing' (pretty much whenever I start reading about new package updates that I want or need) un

Not in all use cases (yet)... they still don't have a very compelling GPU compute story on Linux. There are reasons they've only made a minor dent so far and compute is one of them. As soon as they do, I'll be happy to swit

Same here. Though many mid-size / smaller companies might not advertise this fact (their HR policies are often a bit more ad hoc than larger companies if they haven't been involved in as many labor lawsuits)... but pretty much if

In the US there often is a formal probationary period at larger companies which mainly accomplishes one thing: reduce the HR red tape if a new hire isn't working out. During the probationary period it's generally easier to make
