Don't forget about the $800 Alternative Minimum Tax faced by every company registered in the state (or doing business in the state, or having workers in the state, or...). That's $800 even if you make zero dollars, or if you&#x2

But the fork wasn't the problem. The problem was the forker scrubbing attribution, which is against the license it supposedly had at the time. Or, at least, that seemed to have been the problem at the time?

Right, and even a cursory search would reveal that for license violations, you can file a DMCA takedown request with Github against the offending repository [0]. It literally takes ten minutes and Github is required by law to act immediat

Honestly, I thought this must be some kind of parody, perhaps a lead-in to April Fool's? I mean if you ever wanted to know what a brogrammer is like, folks, here it is! Even including (in his weird and selfish licensing rant) the part

I was waiting for the moment when this would come up. A friend of mine had worked for Uber for a few years, and a couple of times when she came back to town, she'd mentioned over drinks that they have been "secretly" running

You know, actually, I did see this earlier today. EEVblog made a new video where he talks about some of the developments. One of those was all the footage out on the internet from other people with other cameras showing that it wasn't

So what you're saying is that Stoicism is not only a philosophy for soldiers and prisoners, but for sysadmins as well.

When it comes to Oracle, it doesn't matter. There's a reason MySQL was forked into MariaDB basically the second Oracle bought it.

I, too, was sad to see similar things with Nomad. HashiCorp really does write generally excellent software.

The vast majority of people in the vast majority of companies are as reasonable as one would expect another human being to be. But there are some standout experiences I've had. I mean, this is definitely the exception and not the norm,

This happened to my dad. He was with a company for 25 years, since its founding. He knew everything there is to know about the particular product they made, not only from being there for so long, but from holding a variety of positions whil

Hej! Thanks for curl! And since you asked, here's a really dumb one... Many years ago, a friend of mine ran one of those super cool hacker forums where noobs get together and talk about how great they are at hacking. I didn't part

I keep hearing responses like this about various aspects of serverless, but it makes no sense. If a lot of these serverless operations are "not any different" than various Docker operations, why should I be spending time and money

You don't need all of that shit, though. You absolutely can just throw a golang binary into a super minimal alpine image and run it wherever you've got a Docker daemon installed. You literally don't need any of the thin

It's the same in Hawaii with the word "haole" (same meaning: foreigner). Doesn't matter if you were born and raised on the islands, lived here your entire life, married a local, and had local kids. If you're white,

Cloud commoditized datacenters. People then tightly coupled their applications to cloud providers like AWS. After some time, containers came along and commoditized the cloud providers. Those applications no longer needed to be tightly coupl

Hey! An engineering blog is one of the things that could push me over the edge in a decision between two otherwise equal projects or products. Not to mention how helpful your posts could be to others, just describing your technology problem

I know that this is the total transactions and not profits, and the numbers are way, way off. I have a local copy of all my trades, of course, and they match perfectly with the transaction history available on GDAX. But the numbers that Coi

Actually, I appreciate the reply as a prompt to clarify what I mean. I really hope I am able to decouple Palantir from the metadata analytics that I'm talking about in my endorsement of the technology. Speaking in sweeping generalities

You're probably right, and I've repaired so many over the years that I've started to run out of friends and family to give them to. I get so much out of the actual repair work that I don't feel like I'm losing out o

The FCC is renowned for going balls to the wall with enforcement. This is going to be really interesting to watch unfold! I am guessing that the FCC will use whatever means at its disposal to get what it wants here.
