Anyone know if RHEL 7 will ship with Python 3 in the base, even if not default? That could go a long way to boosting Python 3 adoption. I know it's in SCL, but that lacks convenience for a lot of users.

As a developer it's easier for me to ship java apps with the current runtime than it is to ship a python app with the updated runtime. Therefore I'm more likely to stay current with Java than I am with Python, especially when my t

I'm 39 and write code every day for my employer, but outside the scope of the engineering team. I guess it may fall under exploratory/architectural work for what might be future products, though if they gain any traction they wil

Its not always the developer. For instance, I do some utility class software that needs to just work on RedHat/CentOS 6. Having to build Python 3 from source, or use SCL and mess with paths, and virtualenvs is simply not an option for

Did you see that? Developer productivity in North America just increased for one day. Its back down now. Honestly, while HN was down, I didn't feel the need to hunt down other news. In fact, I got a good start on the Coursera crypto

I'd like to see CentOS, but with the desktop environment stuff kept more up to date.. Would give you solid underpinnings that lasts for years, then a modern UI on top (Gnome 3, KDE what have you, Chrome, Firefox).. I know its mostly d

Depends what you are doing but Python or Perl can make great systems programming languages. Of course if you are doing Linux kernel hacking, you'll need C. Go and D are probably also modern examples of what could be used for systems pr

I'm old, but just starting the design phase of a new app for my company. Frontend will be angular and bootstrap as it's working really well for other projects. On the backend java, spring and jetty will be used. Netty will also be

My effort to becoming a polyglot programmer was to learn different languages for different jobs. For instance, my chosen languages are C, Python, Java, Javascript and more recently Go. I believe that each language is better suited for some

My cheaper VPS option doesn't allow you to spin up servers on demand or offer prorated billing. So while there may be cheaper, DO seems the cheapest for the flexibility it has.

C, custom drivers. For storage, PostgreSQL and some custom stuff, also playing with Cassandra. If a web interface is required, SpringMVC - it's not cool but works.

Tornado. But maybe that's because I come from an event driven background.

I sniff packets and write analytic/metric applications on the data, as well as protocol analysis.

I used hstore in an existing database for metrics. It allowed me to add different metrics in the code, rather than having to update the database for new metrics, then a metrics to hstore layer that more or less "streamed" them in

I currently use mbsync to backup my all mail folder on gmail. There is a way to set it to never delete on your local side, turning it more into a backup than a sync. I run that daily, and Crashplan takes care of the rest. Sure it doesn&#x27

Many of us did similar in the 90s. I might go this route again but would use Postfix and Dovecot. I'd do this for my wife and kids as well - but if I get hit by a bus, email eventually not working is not something I should burden my wi

A few years back it was common practice NOT to expose ZeroMQ to the wide open internet as it was built for that. I think they says it OK now, but its left a bitter sense for some of us.

At some point, to gain any form of remote access you have to put your trust in one piece of software. Being it VPN, ssh, or something. For many people ssh is considered secure enough. And any secure issues get immediate attention so you c

I'm not sure if I'm correct or not, but I see 2 types of big data guys. First there are the guys who know the tools - perhaps this is the "data engineer" referenced by rdouble. This guy would know all the tools, how to
