I think there is quite a large overlap in audience - quite a few of the readers here will have PhDs in physics in a way that few internets forums will.

I can see why Snap is like it is from Canonial's perspective - but from the User perspective it seems like FlatPaks[1] are much better and address the issues that this article raises [1] https://flathub.org/home (Discl

Ah to answer my own question. I wasn't logged in and created then left/rejoined and was no longer an admin.

Interesting! I started a room, then started a video chat in it. Is there a way to do something else (e.g. play poker) without having to create a new room?

A QoS 2 flow is 2-phase (Publish and PubRec being the first phase and PubRel and PubComp being the second).

I'm not sure this statement is accurate. Certainly the MQTT broker I work on (IBM WIoTP Message Gateway) and a number of our competitors support QoS 2 in production (though I am aware a number of brokers don't support it).

I'm surprised that the comments don't focus much on security patches. Manufacturers are trying very hard to have built-in obsolescence: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/31/dutch_court_says_sa...

An an IBM employee, I definitely hope that some of the RH culture rubs off on us, but I also hope that RH retains its own distinctive identity and isn't altered very much by the deal aside from having access to IBM's resources suc

From the title, I thought this was going to be a collection of Javascript based count down timers like: http://coralbark.net/javascriptTimer/ (It describes ways of timing things in Javascript code).

Number in the list. So the first item in the list occurs roughly twice as often as the second item and roughly 9 times as often as the ninth item. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, I looked at the Wikipedia page in response to this story.

I agree that consumer-facing IoT devices are a single vertical in a long list of verticals (many of which are more mature) but I really wanted to mention that IBM also has a platform in this space that was omitted from your list: Watson IoT
