I really wish AWS would rename their fork. Call it something else, and just call it compatible with Elasticsearch v(FORKED_VERSION). Their continued trying to associate it to ES is causing most of the issues, and after this situation I don&

Some of those languages (especially python & php) utilise C based modules or packaged external binaries. Both of which have to be available / compatible with ARM. When you run pip or composer on Amd64 they often pull these down and

This was/is a key part of the Red Hat Virtualization product that was acquired from Qumranet. I haven't used it for many years, but getting a working client was difficult back in the day, especially if you were on Mac. I always fo

I am thinking this might end up hurting Red Hat more then many people think. I worked at Red Hat in global support in the RHEL 5/6 era and the developers were very opinionated and the dedication to Open Source amongst developers especi

Terminating support contracts for using your rights could easily run afoul of other laws in different regions as anti-competition. It only takes 1 region to take this approach and the code is out.

Its not really vendor locking by design. It locks to a signing key. That key COULD be shared between vendors or even a single vendor could have multiple incompatible keys. It provides a mechanism to prove the entire boot process hasn't

Australian Consumer Law has many provisions based on the fact that many companies are not always able to be fully sued in Australia. In order to prevent this the end retailer is responsible for ensuring consumer rights. Of course the expect

Sure, but 1 customer actually paying $22k for a feature is a lot more valuable then thousands of customers saying they will pay $5 for a feature. There is a big gap between being interested and being committed

Not an aircraft safety expert but I am curious if shifting the wires may not introduce more potential issues in existing planes, as the existing risk factor seems to be proven low (i.e. they are not requiring all 737-NG airframes to have th

I think the only sane thing you can do is price it at the cost it takes to review it. It will still be out of reach of some people, but at least its not arbitory.

Since the smallest globally routeable address is a /24 (256 address block), surely you can just use the block to resolve to country as there would be few situations where a block would be split across an international boundary (excludi

There needs to be a cricket version of this (especially with 5 day test matches). I don't know if the raw data is available without crazy licensing though.

I think this again points to why google struggles with consumer products. It appears that google's strength in technology sometimes lets them leap frog competitors by bringing a better product to market, they seem to screw up getting t

That doesn't work if your running software supplied by a vendor that needs an SSL certificate. Often they have manual processes, that require shutting down the application and restarting, taking the service offline through the process.
