Votes in a bug tracker don't represent the priorities of developers or even a representative audience of users. Yes, it's a known issue, but there are trade-offs and a lot of work involved. Most people just aren't aware of th

You may have heard the rumour that GTK/GNOME developers make software for simpleton users that don't exist. But you've just run into a power user feature that you don't understand. Now, what do you think will happen if t

This issue is almost never raised in good faith. Just look at this document. Disingenuous, trolling, contemptuous of the work of FLOSS developers. Then look at the comments in this thread, repeating and escalating the same nastiness. Crap l

But I wanted to be a Terraform user. So an alternative interpretation is that, as designed, Terraform is slowing down adaptation of the known universe for Terraform users.

My biggest issue with Terraform is the impedance mismatch between HCL and the rest of the known universe. When you write a provider, you spend half your time converting data structures from the HCL submitted to your provider into the JSON y

The real answer is that they're building filters on top of NTFS because that's precisely how it was designed to work.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is barely a real computer, and hardly comparable. The Honeycomb has faster interconnect with practically everything on the board, so can handle a video card, serious networking and storage performance, etc.

No, dude. Don't wave off entirely valid concerns as "twitter rage-baiting". Here's three men who have had an immense impact on popular culture having a casual chat about statutory rape and a lot of racist stereotypes, an

I hope you and the author realise that sockets are a library. And used to be products! They're not naturally occurring.

Migrating a 1500+ line CloudFormation template to Terraform (with some hope that a little extra flexibility would simplify the solution) only to keep using CloudFormation (through a Terraform-shaped hole) for the most complex parts of the p

Terraform often doesn't cover complex, less commonly used AWS services or features. For example, practically zero coverage of the entire Media Services suite of products.

I enjoy writing near-pristine CloudFormation. My only tweak is that I write "literate" templates in Markdown using ```yaml blocks, then strip everything else out before executing them. I (re)use a lot of templates as "product

Are you suggesting I build and maintain my own global CDN with 200+ edge locations? Thank you, but no thank you.

by jdub 6y ago
It's especially useful for doing things during the Origin Request phase, which happens prior to the request from the CDN to the Origin. In that phase you can change anything about the request itself, or the origin it will connect to. B

I'm not confused. It's possible to do the right thing in the large and in the small at the same time. Using cross-cultural fluency to defend Richard Stallman, who doesn't care one iota about cross-cultural fluency, and consta

He doesn't do the right thing. He becomes agitated and sometimes aggressive when anyone points out that they're uncomfortable with his behaviour. He is not interested in their perspective or comfort.

Richard says he's not autistic. People who try to conflate his bad behaviour and autism are excusing his behaviour and unfairly generalising about autistic people. Richard is argumentative about his bad behaviour. He's not oblivio

I think this is a massive win for Mozilla, which may end up having a longer and larger impact on the world than Firefox. Having "control" over Rust didn't ever seem like Mozilla's goal (nor in its interests), so the traj

Not really. They share some dependencies, and there's quite a bit of desire to work on those dependencies together (via the rust-vmm project).

It's more like a persistent 60/40 (or optimistically 70/30) split, but it's understandable that some people are simply wrong.

It doesn't go both ways, and that's precisely the point the original poster was trying to make. US parties do not behave the same way. One has been festering extremism for 60 years.

Parler was set up by spivs and cranks to encourage fools and fascists to gather and destroy civil society. Now that same civil society has rejected them. Don't feel too bad.

The change from GNOME 1 to 2 was much greater than the change from 2 to 3, and there were people who complained (and attributed malice to GNOME contributors) on both occasions. The project has a point of view: that software freedom should b
