   Going back to a world where free and open software was the norm would be a mistake? Being able to buy one of a half-dozen or more periodicals with informative commentary on an accessible programming language would be a mistake? Empowering a

   Bitbucket Enterprise is not only cheaper than GitHub Enterprise, but it can run on-prem in a cluster. Hard to imagine where GitHub trounces Bitbucket, but I am willing to listen

   Nextspace seems simply to be two existing projects (with patches) packaged specifically for Red Hat Linux; GNUstep and WindowMaker. GNUstep's core libraries and build tools are behind Nextspace and Etoile, as well as the GWorkspace env

    I haven't dug into the code, but how does this differ from GWorkspace and other GNUstep components (Prefs, Terminal, Login, et .)?

    I would love to see Apple embark on an OEM program similar to the old clone license of yore. As an OEM partner (Clevo, Asrock or the like), I can purchase T3 chips (or whatever they'll be called) or whatever silicon IP it takes to bles

    And IRC begat AIM, and AIM begat ICQ, and ICQ begat Jabber... An IRC bot is no match for a Slack bot when it comes to simplicity and availability.

    There will never be a better work environment for me than that job was. Sometimes what you really need to do is get up and play some Asteroids. Or fix it, as the case may be.

    Youre entitled to your own wishes, but really? Out of anything at all, you'd put 100 (talented) people to work for 100 days to implement an obsolete console in FPGA? Think big.

    Only for that use case. From a logistics standpoint, which seems so important to the "modern beekeeper", it sounds like an easy thing to say yes to. The question of "where are my bees?" can have a real-time answer and ca

    Demographics, geography.. I bet the number of people riding scooters drops sharply at age 30. Heat dissipation for the mechanism and comfort for the rider are two big factors. Try it in Dallas. It has notoriously low walkability scores and

    I keep thinking I want to try this way of working, but I just can't into the walled garden of an App Store ecosystem. Until I can run Homebrew and a proper shell and 'git clone', the iPad is still just a gargantuan iPhone in
