That's not an Open Core problem, that's a b2b problem. Good enough means b2b. Consumer-facing stuff generally has a much better UI/UX than b2b stuff, because consumers care.

I've worked with a "devops" team that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on puppet consultants and never got it working. Another team spent it's time badmouthing various technology choices, but then didn't reali

We're hunting for a subscription product, but our use case means that we may have to do a few hundred thousand provisioning checks in a few seconds. Not a lot of products can do this, which means we're going to use redis (or it&#x

This is really an interesting idea, because there are people who literally can't take it to the next level...but it's not really big enough for a capital infusion. I guess I'll be hunting for something I can turn into a lifes

Really, error handling has been my big beef with CS education for like 40 years. There is none. Error handling has been left to engineers, and when left to they own devices engineers will almost always make the wrong choice from a user poin

Repealing this will be difficult, because you have a small focused organization supporting it, and you have a large, diffuse, and distractible public. And those maritime guys are hardcore union guys, which will make Democratic support a giv

Today's banana exists because its predecessor was wiped out. That "banana" flavored novocaine is what that banana used to taste like. There is apparently a disease stalking the current Cavendish strain, which is why finding a

Been using my iPad pro 2017 12.9 since 2015. It's basically my email/web/books/video/social device, but also can do work stuff in a pinch. It's not ideal for work, but it's more practical than my 12 mini i

There are a lot of misconceptions about sales, especially from people that don't sell. A lot of that is because Hollywood and TV enjoy presenting people as shyster salespeople. Essentially, the first thing to remember is that you'

Their own index? What does that mean? Is the idea that they're trying to figure out if search engine X is actually forwarding requests to search engine Y? Using the user-agent string is the naive, and probably worst, way to figure this

It's ironic that GNU is using POSIX as a justification for a decision. From RMS: Following a standard is important to the extent it serves users. We do not treat a standard as an authority, but rather as a guide that may be useful to f

One interesting thing I learned from my previous startup is that when you're raising, you need to find investors that understand your market. The more niche the market, the more difficult it'll be for you to find an investor. But

This only affects linux. All the old AIX/SunOS/Solaris/HP-UX boxes will never get this update, so luckily it should have 0 effect on older platforms. That makes me feel better, that all the old crap that I've forgotten a

That's how collective bargaining works: you only get what your union bargains for. Anything else? Too bad. Did you not get the memo as to what unionization means and how it works?

I used to run a VPN service, and at the time the only legal requirement was that you register your DMCA contact and that you make a best-effort attempt to deliver the request. I forwarded those requests to the user's email address if t

TL;DR: if this guy is on your team, you're hosed. At a place I worked a Colonel came in to give a pep talk about the IED work we were doing. He was talking about his time in Iraq/Afghanistan: he was in a jeep and his driver was ki

If you pay attention, you'll see that the NFL captions are delayed by about 4-5 seconds, sometimes longer. The FCC doesn't mandate any realtime window for live events. And when lots of people are talking you'll run out of scr

Of all the transcribers we used, google STT was the worst one. GIGO. That said, their translation was pretty good, but the best is apparently DeepL.

Live captioning (not subtitles) is quite difficult. We'll be contacting these guys next year, as FCC-level captioning is a requirement for some of our customers...and as time goes on, the FCC will probably require captioning for VoD an

OS/2 was known to be rock-solid back in the day. It was the OS of choice for a lot of financials. Everyone moved to Windows NT when 4 came out, though, because of the way Microsoft did licensing.

Talk to any developer who's been around for any period of time, and they'll tell you that dealing with time is a PITA. What's bad is that there's no real thought given to interplanetary time. It's alluded to occasio

It's funny how much people hate Salesforce. People used to say the same thing about ACT back in the day. I mean, SF is a total POS, but whatever. I'm not sure why these sales tools have to be so crappy. I guess there's a mark
