I think Slack is actually using standardized tech that hasn't been implemented/or not implemented well in Firefox. Chrome doesn't have an ActiveX analogy. Anything you use in Chrome is based on a standard, although some, like

I'm fine with fines, but I hope prison time is restricted to intentional and malicious illicit behavior and not anything due to neglect or oversight. I'm not a fan of people being put in cages unless they're violent or have r

Java moving to 6 month release cycles is good. OpenJDK is good. RedHat providing long term support is good. All of this is good. Where I'm worried this fails is with dependencies. Also in the context of developing plugins for other Jav

It's in Docker's interest to capture as much value as they can from their products, their calculus is changing. It's their decision to make, however passing it off as in the best interest of users is a bit of a whopper and no

It's always been about how you follow people. I have a few twitter accounts: one where I follow people I know and devs and it's very noisy. It's nearly unusable, it's full of political rants, even from well known devs, a

I hope GitHub doesn't change much. It works well. It does basically one thing and they've never tried to do more than what they are. Microsoft used to have their own code repo and they shut it down. It was mostly used for .NET pro
