(IMHO, of course) I think a big part of the problem is Red Hat. Not that they're malicious or doing something wrong or anything of the sort; just that they're overrepresented in key projects that determines the direction of Linux.

The Python urllib/urllib2 issue is a feature . It means any code that uses the old (inferior) urllib continues to work, without having to update it as urllib2 starts being used within the same function so that it can be migrated. Th

A model out-competing another doesn't make it sustainable. Overfishing an area would make it out-compete another that doesn't, but that would be the exact opposite of sustainable.

Since the models are static content anyway, perhaps try a CDN. Since you're already using GitHub, perhaps https://rawgit.com/ would be useful (mostly because it's free) until you decide you want something with gua

It's even more ridiculous than that. Go to any bug page on buzilla.mozilla.org, and marvel at the impossibility of reading a bug report regarding the browser. Reader mode doesn't even help.

I believe it was actually that a different fork of Wine was not contributing back which caused the license change. I want to say it was Cedega but memories are hazy at this point (since I'm an outside observer).

The problem really is that you have to vet them at all. With golang's standard library, it's all going to be supported to some degree. (I believe the same happens with rust's standard library, it's just much smaller.) B

I've went through the rust book, unfortunately I learn better through actually trying to do things while looking at the API reference. And the rust documentation is frustrating for that, simply because everything is expanded by default

I agree with your post, except for one point: system design shouldn't be focused on strongly discouraging harmful low effort routes, but on ensuring that the good routes are less effort than the harmful ones. That is, while it can be

I agree that the UX is bad, and I think that's because they were wearing heavily SELinux-tinted glasses when they designed it. As an example, even if you correctly expanded `chcon` to "change context" the name of the command

One possibility is that, if you get in earlier, as the company grows you're more likely to be promoted to more senior positions, which might be good for professional development. Relatedly, you're more likely to work on a larger v

The old Firefox sync used a local-only passphrase to encrypt things. The new one, as far as I can tell, just tires everything to your Firefox Account (i.e. nothing local is required). That's not really better than what 1Password does,

They still get update requests (_something_ keeps telling me once a month that there's a new version out, even with telemetry off); that can be compared to the number of unique users with actual telemetry to find the number with it off

There were noon-JS languages on the web, though; in particular, VBScript was a thing in the (at the time) most popular browser. I understand that at one point there was a third-party Perl implementation too. Unfortunately there wasn't

Additionally, you can have substitutions in there: Host * IdentityFile ~/.ssh/%r@%h This is indeed better, as a compromise means only the private keys on the affected host are affected. That of course works better with

But that means there may be an area between the label and the input element (depending on margins and so forth) which is not clickable. Having the label separate makes sense if it's all in a table-like structure, though.

More importantly, Firefox has its own CA store because it was derived from Netscape, which had its own because they came up with the whole SSL thing way back. The subsystem is still called NSS, even though there's been backbend changes

LWN does actually have corporate subscriptions. I currently work for one that just requires me to log in to LWN from the company IP range once a month. I'd guess, though, that is not quite enough to run the site.

A wildcard is a bad idea here since one compromised host would have a certificate that works on all other hosts. A better solution would be a sub CA that's restricted to issuing certificates for that domain only, but name constraints
