I think you make a good point that logs should be transformed closer to the source. I work, primarily, with applications provided by a vendor, with very unstructured log data. Transforming (Grok) these logs is an absolute must, we couldn&#x

I use Chrome as my main browser and the lack of vertical tabs is about the only thing that really frustrates me. It's almost enough to switch to Firefox.

Why do you not include C# or .NET? Both have been going for quite some time and there's a tonne of code in the world depending on both. What strategy changes do you think could affect them?

It may have been more appropriate to the thread above or the sibling, but I was one who downvoted the original so I wanted to respond to the calling out. Whether or not EEE was specifically invoked is sort of irrelevant, the implications (t

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MicrosoftKilledMyPappy.aspx Seriously, when was the last time Microsoft employed EEE? People have been saying "maybe it's different this time.." for years. I'm getting

The headline makes it sound like Microsoft spent millions to buy the patent, but it was used against Microsoft and others to extract millions.

This was actually addressed in the article towards the end, and the part you quoted does say list price. > Is Spotify really paying $290,518/month? Of course, for such a high profile customer and for the priviledge of a case stu

Oracle replication usually requires Golden Gate to the best of my knowledge. Someone was telling me the other day they hacked their own system together with shell scripts (ship and restore log files using scp etc), but that's probably

So manipulating the market to artificially keep salaries low? Can you see the problem/illegality here?

Use a password manager of some kind. Lastpass is nice, and has an enterprise component that lets you share passwords with co-workers or teams.

I agree for the majority of cases. There still exist classes of applications where you can't rely on personal accounts on social sites for auth. Anything that runs behind your firewall for instance. In my particular case, we run some &

As others have mentioned the PyPI statistics aren't random at all. They're a count of downloads based on user agents. The points I mentioned above were discussions I had with the maintainer of PyPI (Donald Stufft) who also recogni

by jsmeaton 11y ago
Be aware that PyPI isn't a great way to get accurate statistics. One of the reasons is when tox tests via a matrix, Python 2.7 is usually the first python listed, and if it fails then Python > 3 will not be tested. Also, it'll

I think you're agreeing with the comment indirectly. I think the point was that enterprises are likely to pay for a different issues system, which isn't really a possibility for an open source project. OSS projects can use a dif

Not boys? Boys send nudes too, and often request them. Isn't that soliciting child porn? We need to be feeding kids (boys and girls) way more information and hoping they don't mess up too badly.

You're right, and the Django Software Foundation (along with projects like BeeWare) are actively trying to work out how to solve these problems. DSF has hired a part time "director of advancement", Adrienne Lowe, to try to ge

I think donating by way of kickstarter is fine, but it attracts the same people that regular donations attract. Developers themselves, rather than the companies that are profiting from the use of free software. That's really the gap th

Awesome articles, thanks for writing them. I used to fool around with FL and Reason about 10 years ago but wasn't very good at all. I think I could have a lot of fun with this. I especially liked how the author visualized sounds to be

Entering into a pastebin is.. questionable. But I strongly dislike paywalls that disappear for search traffic. It's really really shady.

I started to get nervous. I liked my brain the way it was. I mean, there were some pretty big issues there... but I didn’t want a new one. I had no interest, for example, in leaving my wife. A friend had told me a story about a couple who’
