RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora are all basically the same thing. The difference is which package versions are approved for use. For the most part, you can add the yum configuration for CentOS or Fedora to RHEL machines, and install newer packages

To chime in with contrasting experiences at other companies: Where I used to work RHEL was used on all of the servers. I was part of a team developing some new software using Mongrel2, MongoDB, ZeroMQ, Perl, and Imagemagick ( among a whole

You think the systemd debate is bad? The same people who made systemd intend to totally change the way the entire system works, way past just services. See: http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linu..

Most people don't know much about any of the details. They have simply done things one way for a long time and now it is changing. You haven't addressed that besides accusing those people of being "ignorant about good design

That was a very long and detailed explanation of the sides of the argument. It misses one huge thing: Consistency. The elephant in the room is that most people who dislike systemd simply dislike it because they learned and used init.d scrip

I agree that it may in fact be reasonable to pay $150 ( perhaps even $200 ) for such a thing. The real cost is much higher due to a need to solder components. This is an especial blocker for people with no soldering experience. Really, the

If you get the parts cut via the linked online place ( ponoko ) it costs $48 just to get the cut parts. This obviously doesn't include the rest of the parts. Buying all the needed parts for this would cost $130 ( am including the $48 h

100 times this. I excitedly read the article expecting a clear concise explanation ( albeit one with bad premises ) explaining how lone geniuses only accomplish things through others, and that they can be done without. The article fails to

Seems awesome from what I am seeing so far from just poking around. Could you add a way to import assets easily so that they can be developed using other tools or imported?

You can google "timer 4 minutes" or "timer 200 seconds" to get equivalent timers. The reverse also works "3 minute timer" as described by herf. Google bug: "Timer 4:50 minutes" gives you a timer for 4

I was looking for the following points when reading through this interview: 1. A mention of the box sizing model ( which is imo the core of CSS ) 2. Following that, a mention of the double margin IE bug. Nope; but there was vague mention of

I wasn't exactly polite when he attacked me. I responded in turn because it was absurd and silly to me to be threatened. To know anything about me is to know that threatening me is a joke; I'm not afraid. To this day I'm uncl

Thank you. Unfortunately the FBI and Secret Service have a different opinion, and so the FBI is still holding onto $5000 of my gear. For myself, I can't say I would try to "do the right thing" again, because it simply isn&#x2

Thank you for expressing this. It helps me to be able to move past it. I have always thought you were angry at my contributions to the community. You will note that I applaud the simplicity of your module, and even went so far as to create

There is zero mention in varnish documentation of how ESI and forced cache invalidation occur. ( because it simply doesn't support it ) That was and is my point, and is not addressed on that page or anywhere else. I realize that would

I'd like to point out that I have a lot of respect for the developers I named; my point is that we should all play nicely, not that I wish for these people to be shamed. People get hurt. I was hurt. I'm not attacking; I am saying

Thank you for your comment; I appreciate the acknowledgement. I do intend to do as you say and change the name properly, since basically it doesn't matter now that "registered modules" are gone. I have not done so yet simply

The specific bug was in the Varnish reverse proxy. It had to do with the non-functionality of the ESI ( Edge Side Includes ) "support". I really like Varnish and was making great use of it, and was happy to learn it supported ESI.

Go ahead and Google my name. You'll find that it is mostly just attacks on my character related to an incident with UMD and the FBI. Unfortunately people don't reference facts; news ( and people in general ) just believe what they

I didn't provide a ton of details because I think it is important to be constructive and just make the point that people should be more caring and positive. I don't want or need to try to bash these people. All I am saying is that

Yes, for many years I intentionally did not release more open source due to only having people contact me to ask for help or criticize and never to simply say thank you. Most recently I have decided that releasing open source is what I want

I think this is an important point for people to accept, acknowledge, and keep in mind as a reason to strive harder to be open and accepting to people, especially those you don't agree with. I got a bunch of attacks from members of the

This is blatant abuse of Mario, their copyrighted assets, etc. I approve of it being reported to NOA. Additionally, who exactly is going to play this? It doesn't use Mario in any meaningful way to help teach anything. Mario teaches typ

Thank you for this detailed explanation. I assumed there was some extenuating complexity to the process, and was simply wondering what it was that prevented the original publishing system from being adapted to be faster.

Something missing from the history is the existence of the "categorical tree" for CPAN modules, the existence of "registered modules", and the recent destruction of both of these features, primarily due to lack of people

The slides say there are 1 million pages, and "republishing" them would take 90 days. Maths -> 7.8 seconds on average to "republish" a page. Modern templates systems can convert a page constructed out of structured da
