Just the reaction, there's a slight possibility that Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter caught a picture of it entering the atmosphere but we won't know that until later since MRO is on the far side of Mars at the moment.

I would caution one to not have tons of dependencies. More surface area in terms of the amount of 3rd party libraries/developers means more chances that one of them is not a responsible maintainer, as in this case. That increases the a

Is there a better corporate insights and research firm that you know of? Their trends seem dated because they're not going to feed enterprises bleeding edge tech trends; they're going to go with trends that are mostly proven, so y

You're right. Ubuntu warty shipped with libqt3. However if you remember back when, there was still an axe hanging over the KDE team in the form of Trolltech. The fear was that if Qt free stopped existing one day (or if Trolltech wanted

I don't know, it's always sort of been like this for KDE. Even going back to some of the earlier releases, it was always "That one DE with the funny library license". Qt was eventually moved to LGPL, but when stuff (desk

There's some places around the world (including some places in the U.S., I think New York is one of them) where if you form a corporation, you have to publicize it in a newspaper. It can be expensive.

Ecigs are incredibly annoying to me personally. The vapor is usually some sickly sweet cloud that gets everywhere and I usually smell like jolly rancher or worthers original after being near one. If someone is that addicted, there's gu

Okay I think we all agree that a dystopian future where a cabal of payment processors squelches any dissenting opinions is bad in many ways. But that's not what's happening here. Stripe has a very specific rule that gab.ai agreed

Wow, main stream society doesn't want to associate with a company that harbors extremists. I'm shocked. So many commenters on this are jumping to a slippery slope fallacy as if Stripe has any moral imperative to uphold free speech

Depending on how old, sell them on eBay. They have okay resell value, you get money and keep a phone out of a landfill.

Yeah but I get 6+ weeks paid time off, plus 6 weeks paternity leave, and triple the pay of a comparable position in the EU, at the cost of worse healthcare. At this point in my life I'm mostly healthy, so the risk of staying in the US

I fully support peoples' efforts to protest the current US administration, and any other administration. I don't support usurping other people's speech to push protests. Copyleft is a wonderful thing, but we have to treat it

MIT allows for the sublicensing to a more restrictive license. I have no idea how this would play out in court, but it looks like this is allowed. Pretty scummy move though for people who don't agree with this maintainers politics, and

Yeah but that's not how the law works. A service provider risks losing its safe harbor status if it delegates a DMCA complaint to a party and then that DMCA complaint is ignored. Providers have an incentive to shut down services on the

Yep. I go on longer (60+ mile) bike rides once a week. Salt is so important on those rides, I get severe cramps without it. Especially when cycling on 100+ degree days.

The benefit of bash is that it has system binaries as first class citizens; you can leverage the hundreds of thousands of lines of GNU projects with a single keyword. It's hard to beat that expressiveness. Saying "Go is overall a

Maybe not, but if your peer said "hey can someone help me with this task" in a standup, wouldn't you want to help them once the meeting is over?

I think that's either a team culture issue, a management issue, or a business culture issue. Teams I've worked on have had no issue brainstorming ideas for a person who's stumped. Now, I'm not totally defending standups
