Some consumer NAS boxes have this, and there's a Linux distro called Yunohost that does this (and they'd probably love to have more contributors).

Yep, but that's how it works. A year ago, people were complaining that Apple sucks because iOS was still using skeuomorphs instead of flat design like Android and Windows 8. Now they've switched their style, and they suck because

The ToP was written in 1986, published in 1987. Many strides have been made since then, with many strides to go.

I second sdeveloper's comment. This is about establishing authority, not being pigeonholed. Pigeonholing is something done to you regardless of what you do. Pigeonholing doesn't make you the #1 result on Google for a term. Pigeonh

I said I was looking into it and showed them the log files. I was specifically told that if I wasn't visibly panicking they didn't believe I was engaged in solving the problem. This is the same agency that accused me of doing free

Same here as a developer. The server was down. The clients' sites were unreachable. I was busy trying to figure out what happened instead of panicking and was told I need to be more engaged because I seemed to have no sense of the scal

Do you have a citation for that? I did a dry run of a presentation for an engineer and her first question was "exactly how much fewer resources"? Would love to have a source for that in case I get asked again.

> Deis is built to be a distributed system spanning an entire CoreOS cluster, so scaling occurs horizontally and is naturally fault-tolerant. I love the sound of that.

I've been looking forward to giving Deis a shot. I'm a huge fan of Dokku, and Deis seems to be a very similar project with the added bonus of handling scaling for you.

You're looking at this too rationally. That's not meant as snark. The people responsible for these requirements aren't acting rationally. They want Bill Gates, Microsoft CEO for the price of Bill Gates, Harvard Freshman. And

Yeah, I'm probably the wrong person to ask about this. I'd ditch the laptop, buy some cowboy boots and a powder blue leisure suit, then look up Nolan Bushnell's number in the phone book.

Ok. That was my WordPress cheerleader post. Now, here's the snark I edited out of that because it didn't fit the flow. If you want people to adopt a different CMS, here are pain points I've heard repeatedly from users. Addres

WordPress is where it is because the core team puts users first. They've taken on tons of technical debt in order to maintain backwards compatibility with themes & plugins. PHP 5.3 reached end-of-life a year ago, but WordPress cont

Andrew Nacin was just talking about the idea of a "BackPress" yesterday on Twitter. The core team doesn't want to maintain the mess, but their hands are largely tied by backwards compatibility. Here's the conversation:

I think we should be asking the older generation why the proposed SSO/Digital Identity solutions from a decade ago never got traction. OAuth is the only thing from back then that got anywhere, and it's been stripped of its identit
