Exactly. As your link says, "anyone can do enterprise sales", but it surely takes time away from development. Someone stepping in and doing the enterprise sales for open source developers could fill a lot of gaps.

Patreon expects creators to advertise. The idea I had is that this business would actively seek both clients (who don't know they should be paying developers) and developers (who don't know how to get paid for their open source wo

Has anyone tried simply creating a business that negotiates with companies to fund open source developers and takes a small cut? It seems like a simple proposition. The company identifies an open source project that needs help, identifies c

OpenWrt 15.05.1 "Chaos Calmer" was released more than a year ago. I haven't seen many updates. I wonder if there's an update channel that I'm missing. Specifically, here is where all updates are coming from: https:

Expanding on the breathing example in the article, could we say there are at least three distinct systems in the brain that control breathing? They are: - Conscious breathing: I follow a chosen breathing pattern with no immediate awareness

For security, you should call outbound webhooks using a server dedicated to that purpose, where the main server and webhook caller are connected through an async message passing system such as RabbitMQ. That way you can maintain strict fire

As a child I was obsessively aware of other people's opinions of me, so I was afraid to make mistakes. Today, I am much better at putting myself in the learning mindset because I have learned a basic truth: learning is essentially the

That may be so, but it is unfortunate that the author tacked on a highly subjective first paragraph to an otherwise informative article. Who regards Linux as "horrendously difficult to use" and why? That's a strong statemen

No, sorry. Actually, I feel like long functions are often clearer than refactored equivalents.

That's my gut reaction to all new cloud services. It has been my gut reaction for over 20 years, in fact. I once thought a lot about building a Dropbox-like service, but I eventually decided it would fail because decentralized services

It sounds like you're talking about cyclomatic complexity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity There are tools out there for most major programming languages for measuring cyclomatic complexity. Th

That's a great idea. I can imagine a simple hack that modifies a Polaroid Snap [1] or similar so that it prints a lenticular-compatible image, then sticks on a lenticular lens automatically. It might be challenging to keep the lens in

I feel like the namedtuple issue could be solved cleanly by adding a feature I've wanted for a long time in Python: some simple way to cache high-level data and code in generated .pyc files. Today, there's no way to do that; Pytho

Perhaps what bothers the author about e-bikes is that using a bike safely on streets requires hard-won skills, and riders who start out on an e-bike might get hurt before they acquire those skills. The faster the bike, the greater the proba

I remember getting frustrated with my kindergarten teacher because she insisted that the letters "T-H-E" spelled a familiar word, yet the word has no T sound, H sound, or E sound. What a garbage language, I thought. So yeah, I&#x2

This analysis cleared up a mystery for me. I've noticed that when a server app is under heavy load in Linux, the load average goes high if the bottleneck is the CPU or the disk, but the load average goes low if the bottleneck is networ

I agree, however, those of us who understand the importance of paper ballots are having a hard time selling it to the public. We're coming across as Luddites. I'm impressed that the New York Times is promoting open source software

It's surprising that the attackers ask victims to send an email. Why not ask victims to publicly post a picture of their screen to social networks with a certain hash tag (and a new account)? That would be less traceable and harder to

I think it's more reasonable to apply your thinking to counties rather than states. I'm in a deep red state, but the county I'm in is slowly turning blue as tech companies move in and startups grow. Also, red counties are w

Would it be possible for Elm to evolve a way to let components keep internal state? The lack of component-local state is what ultimately drove me away from Elm for my last project. It seems like it should be possible, since Elm and Redux ar

Thanks for the pointer. Your service looks interesting! A little advice: it's probably best to post a disclaimer that you are the founder of RhodeCode whenever you post about it on HN. OTOH, you get credit for including that info in yo
