   Google has been doing something close to bug bounties for many "critical" open source projects. Instead of focusing on bugs however, the Patch Rewards focuses on countermeasures: integrating a project into OSSFuzz, adding sandboxi

   It is just as disingenuous as saying "details don't matter". bonzini's comment was saying a line needs to be drawn, and I agree with that. It's pretty clear the line needs to not include "breaking on version nu

   Does that mean the kernel is not allowed to change version number anymore because I could write an app that segfaults if it sees Linux >= 4.14?

   As much as I think the general principle of "no userspace visible change" is great, I can't make up my mind on whom I agree with the most in this specific instance. My understanding is that some distros (e.g. OpenSUSE) ship w

    My understanding is that demonetization for "advertiser unfriendliness" is per-video. It doesn't influence the capability of linking to external websites, since this is an account wide capability.

    Borgmon being "brain damage" or some kind of "horror show" is more a meme than a serious opinion held by people who have used Borgmon. Personally I'm very happy that the open source world is adopting something deriv

    Or, you know, in the tens of thousands of people that work at Google, a lot are HN readers and have been before they even joined the company. But feel free to assume this is a conspiracy if that makes you happy.

    > Did I misunderstand it? Yes. You seem to assume this was some kind of press release. It was not: Google was previewing a new unreleased feature to one of their big clients, and that feature preview was under NDA. It just happens that t

    It's not, SFTP is a binary protocol using SSH as transport layer. FTPS is plain old FTP over SSL/TLS. They're completely different protocols that have nothing in common except being used to transfer files.

    If this is a "current tech culture" problem, how do you explain the fact that this is a trend shared across most of the engineering professions? Example: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-business/1

    I take the alternate approach to this, which is to let the compiler warnings (and other related tooling, like static analyzers) drive how I write the details of my code. I think it leads to a higher average code quality than the micromanage

    It is still a problem, I just had one of my personal servers hit issues where I couldn't even manually re-balance because the metadata was full. Had to apply weird workarounds to be able to write to that filesystem again...
