A big reason to buy a Cray is the experience they have. There's not a ton of people who've run large systems as long as they have. The technology may originate from Nvidia but Nvidia doesn't have a 40+ years experience buildi

This is a pretty simplistic explanation, but the BSD license doesn't require you to provide the source to customers. Essentially the argument is that companies will consume FOSS software without contributing back improvements to the de

HPE and Intel are both working on (and I'm sure others want) huge piles of NVM. This is a probably just step into getting there. https://lwn.net/Articles/655437/

Arch was one of the first to switch and while a decent number use gnome I sincerely doubt they made the choice because of gnome. Arch has a long history of alternative WM/DE It's not likely any individual one could force their ha

Does anyone know what Apples policy on fixing this might be? I understand why they ship with an older version of bash and other GNU userspace tools but is there a precedent they've set for backporting?

If i remember correctly Apples stopped updating bash in OSX a long time ago I wonder if this will get fixed.

IANAL (or that experience with copyright) but, it probably depends on the country and how it was translated. A translation of Clash of Kings to Spanish in the US for example would be considered a derivative work. A translator would have bee
