ASF has a CLA for every single project, and seems to be doing alright. It also seems like what you call “binding Contributor Guidelines” is basically a CLA.

Many, actually. It was quite common to run into 30+ year folks at all levels, including EPM (I know of four off the top of my head).

Preaching to the choir, man. I was just saying the Slack bleeding could potentially be lessened by wielding a slightly different model of chainsaw. I certainly want my gig back.

CRLs are pretty difficult to scale resiliently, though, for a number of applications. Same problem that led to OCSP stapling after OCSP became a thing. With CRLs you can at least take advantage of a CDN of some kind, but there are tradeoffs

Mattermost is also an example of how not to license software, including a promise not to enforce provisions of the license they have chosen. If one needs a promise, one has probably chosen the wrong licensing structure. Here's a fun

I remember when Slack in a Chrome tab committed 3-4 GB. Sounds like they've made improvements. Standalone client and its helpers are sitting on ~800MB committed on my install of High Sierra. Might be worth a shot.

I'm not kidding: I've imagined exactly that as a career change more than once. Live on the road, see new places every day, hack on open source projects, write, spend time with someone with similar interests (the hardest part). Wha

A model of PS/2 I worked on when I was a teenager had mains voltage across two exposed terminals behind the big power switch. I discovered this when dropping a screwdriver across them.

Not only were the guys at the air base trying to sell Patrick an SA-2, "they were saying, 'you want a MiG 21 (fighter jet)? I'll sell you two tanks and a MiG.' " . "So they wanted $2,000 for the missile,&quo

> It is impossible to do Internet-scale multicast streams without IPv6 Wait, what? How did IPv6 become a multicast dependency? PIM/IGMP is difficult, but is quite possible without MLD/IPv6. Don't forget class D space.

Safari 5 introduced Reader. It damn near predates Chrome itself. I think Google would have gotten around to it by now if they were going to, considering the other giant epics they’ve launched in the browser since then.

No, it doesn’t. It describes politics. Assigning caricatures to the “other side” like a football rivalry also describes politics. People have opinions. Sometimes these opinions align with a broader group. Sometimes they don’t. Sometimes opi

Going to space is not entirely about being high. It's about going sideways, fast. And if, at 6,000 feet, air pressure were half that of sea level, nobody would live in Denver and most Tibetans would be dead. Half is more like 6,000 me

Hence the hardened part. That exploit doesn’t work against any later model, and they spent a lot of money to get into that particular phone. Even with that observation, how can one claim “very insecure?” Do you think it’s that difficult to

I find it odd that someone would say an iPhone is “very insecure” after the USG, of all players, very publicly couldn’t get into a model from right before the security design hardened , not to mention the also very public panic in the IC a
