Thanks for that, I'll have a look and mention it if I make a follow-up post. I think that good small projects can be plug-ins to bigger projects, or a library that someone use in a project.

I wrote a patch for Firefox too. While the experience was different, I applied the same method and it worked quite well. As a comment says it: the mentoring part is important, probably even more than the project itself. I saw that when tryi

Everything is discussed via meetings and mailing lists. I guess you can not make significant changes to the UI, but you can contribute by writing an extension.

Something always bugs me with CAP theorem explanations, and I am really confused by all that: usually, I read (or understand from those articles) that a system is partition tolerant when "the system is available and consistent while on

They are willing to make it more like gvim, running in a separate window, and one of targets of neovim is to use a modern graphics backend to achieve that.

For what it's worth, I studied CS in Lyon, in a good engineers school. While courses were clearly not the best, I met a lot of very clever fellows, some of them were hired at mozilla or Google. Some others joined start ups or started t

Statements about shared hosting are full of misconceptions. - "colo" is not really about sharing a server but about being in the same data center. - cloud is almost by definition a "shared-resources" hosting: you run a V

Sorry, I wrote my comment quickly, this is what I meant. I said that "it won't hurt you" as a reaction to people saying "I won't even click on that link" in some comments.

I think it was mentioned on a comment, but just to make it clear: A rootkit is not a virus nor a way to obtain privileges on a Linux box, but a set of tools providing various features to keep hidden a root access to the hacked box. This roo

OVH is probably the biggest, but it's unfair to say they are the best: they are a low-cost hosting company and provide a minimal support, unless you pay the price. Moreover, OVH sometimes take quite stupid commercial decisions without

I think you should remove the animation on the numbers: it prevents the user from reading quickly valuable info (and isn't really useful anyway). Still, the interface is really cool!

Actually, feasible or not, I understand and somewhat agree with the fact that they don't want portability patches, it would probably force systemd to be limited to the lowest common denominator and add a lot of complexity to the projec

You LG2 has probably optimized, vendor/hardware specific scripts, SysVinit does not achieve the same perfs on my high-end laptop. You may want to have a look at this short conference from linux.conf.au, about systemd from the point of

One argument that is on the edge: Lennart often takes controversial decisions, and in the case of systemd, he refuses portability patches that would allow systemd to run on other unixes than Linux (BSD, Hurd, etc). Since debian is supposed

I'd love to have that kind of screen on the x230, touch screen is not something I really need nor want, while a good screen is still something that seems hard to find on a high-end mobile laptop.

Google is not what I would call an adversary. Mozilla, Google, Microsoft and others are willing to go in the same direction, they don't share the same priorities and it's all about negociations and stuff. When Mozilla and Google renewed the
