As a creator and a consumer, I think one has to not resent giving away something. Don't expect compensation, but ask for it if it's necessary to accomplish something as a stretch goal up from free. Also, there is value derived f

Do the correctness of generalizations matter to someone living on the street?

by midas007 12y ago
It's hard to get off the streets and back to "normalcy" (or dignity) if people pretend you don't exist. West is becoming more like semi-urban India as the vice-versa... flattening.

Renamed to https://github.com/steakknife/devops_toolchain to avoid confusion. A collection of individual tools that can be cherry-picked to solve nitty-gritty problems.

Ugh. What's most needed is a erlang-platform like haskell-platform.... bring together vital tools (proper/dialyer/etc), have a great package index (like hackage/pypi/rubygems) + package manager and have a skeleton

That's what I was after... confirmation that it's a Tragedy of the Commons. There's political ammo now to make necessary changes in how things are done to make sure OpenSSL, TLS WG doesn't continue with business-as-usual

Amazon is missing the entire last-mile delivery pipeline apart from some shared boxes and jokes about quadcopter delivery. Also, Google Express is way ahead given the number of trucks and cars going about from Costco and other local merchan

Yeap thanks, have used both. It's just optional, and therefore doesn't get used much on open source projects. So the average quality of code suffers. Whereas something like Go where extra import are hard errors, making best-pract

The Oracle JVM is pretty versatile and has been beaten on in production on an extremely large scale, as much as M$ CLR. Java as a language though was a primary response to over-correct and over-optimize for secure, correct, safe code based

Yes, it's best to use the smallest tool (orthogonal language and libraries) for the job because it's less to test and maintain, and more likely to be correct.

Elixir is neat, but it takes dynamic languages much farther away from static type checking. Static compilation and compilation speed make Go very attractive for large projects.

It's essentially duck-typing iOS Objective-C protocols, but closer to how RubyMotion basically makes them optional.

Seems like a bump in the road, but it's something Bezos has to stay on top of to not be too long term to lose investor interest. FedEx/UPS + Amazon merger would still be a good move and lock up last-mile distribution that only Wal

I worked at a dept with ~2.5% acceptance rate. There were two, subtle factors in play: soft ageism and PI's hiring their clones (in thought, gender and race). So the dept gravitated to predominantly two minorities, at least in terms of

But that's not an acceptable assessment of leadership for a vital crypto WG, much less the leading implementation. So far, OpenSSL has added one dev and it seems like business as usual. Does anyone know if anything's changed at

The problem as per the Phusion blog article is that the runit and possibly daemontools equivalent commands don't set all env vars: HOME, USER, GID & UID, it only calls setgid() & setuid() IIRC. (envuidgid only sets UID and GID

Maintainers either will or won't accept that forks are the sincerest form of flattery.

No problem, just wrote a tool for that: waitport [-u] port [timeout (float)] # -u = UDP instead of TCP go get github.com/steakknife/my_init/waitport go build github.com/steakknife/my_init/wait

Ahhh. Yup, I just lightly-forked LibreSSL to bring back some build infrastructure to non-OpenBSD platforms. It's easy for folks to get get carried away, and there will probably be some quiet backpedaling. https://github.co

But then they would think twice before furthering "...serves too many interests, and (particularly in the TLS portion of the tree) is a grab bag of functionality" [0] of un-security-like features like heartbeats. They might think:

Interesting, last time I did this was 1996 (and last time I wore the net admin hat) we had our own range for internal use. Just gotta make sure OSPF, (E/I)BGP and L2/L3 drop these ranges though.

What's the best green-field recommendation for said companies?

by midas007 12y ago
One thing that would limit feature creep would have the TLS WG maintain a POSIX reference library implementation, standard library compatibility interface (header file) and a comprehensive test suite. Because once the maintenance of that h
