> Four years is a long time. Perhaps that's exactly why it's there. If you can't commit for four years, should you really be founding that specific company? Maybe a different idea, or a different team that you are willing to commit 4+ y

In the (hopefully) unlikely case one founder has to be fired by the others, this keeps incentives properly aligned. Few things are as demoralizing as needing to fire a co-founder in the first place, but if they keep the same equity stake as

I believe you, but can you please name and shame? I'd hate to accidentally purchase hardware which by design makes entering firmware setup impossible[1]. With online ordering this isn't always something you can check in advance. [1] I'm ass

As of last year they sold managed Chromebooks in quantities of 1. I looked into it but passed. Has that changed?

Given that dtrace and ZFS are both available on FreeBSD, what are the reasons for choosing to deploy Linux instead? It's not like the GUI or driver support matter on a server.

I ask in the most genuine way possible: Why? IPv6 is for when you can't get an IPv4 address anymore. To the best of my knowledge, there aren't currently users with only IPv6 addresses, so there's zero reason for us to support it. In the gen

That behavior shouldn't get you banned, but some of your requests will get dropped if you make too many too quickly. You will see 304s for static resources, like images and CSS. Efficiently handling HEAD requests for dynamically generated

I changed header parsing last night to make header name processing case insensitive. Due to an oversight, the first cookie sent was being dropped. As long as your session cookie wasn't first in the cookie header, everything worked fine, whi

Links to one public, embeddable youtube video (like the directions asked) were presented inline during review and were much easier to watch. If your video wasn't on youtube, or it wasn't embeddable, or you used a third party link shortener

Simple: If you can land a better paying (don't forget stock grants and options) and/or more fun job elsewhere, then yes. Interview at other places you'd actually consider working and get offer letters. Compare. As an employer, I knew my emp

Is there something notable about this? Fixes for a severe security bug? Performance improvements? New features of broad relevance? The Linux kernel is released all the time. Windows updates aren't usually notable either.

I think you underestimate the volatility of bitcoin. Right now there's not enough you can do with them in their native form, and converting them to cash would make make the price crash. I also doubt there's any exchange with enough funds to

Halving day was an interesting test that the community passed, which is really cool. What I look forward to seeing next is how a malicious, distributed hijacking of the block chain is handled once it's profitable to attempt.

From my read of the article, Linus simply states his preference to actually support secure boot (and verify signatures), or not support it at all. He thinks attempts to "Secure Boot" a loader which then allows arbitrary code execution are a
