What do you do at your startup... is it similar to any open source tools, or does it rely on a lot of open source tools / libraries? Who commits to that open source project the most? Is their code written well? Send them a message on gi

I think I heard next week sometime the 1.0 ready ripple will be out. As others have said all clients will work with riak 1.0, they just might not support all of the new hotness.

That was my exact same thought. I've met some bright grads, but they still are way less effective in the real world than an experienced software engineer. I can't believe we are back to the boom days of 100k + bonus straight out of scho

Riak users have had quite the opposite results based on talks given at conferences and videos put online. Yammer, Voxer, Formspring, Bump are all riak customers and all have a video out there somewhere talking about how much the like riak

LevelDB is there as the replacement for those who are currently using Innostore as their backend and not for those who have a dataset that fits bitcask.

Companies in the past have definitely made dumb decisions you are right about that, but typically they don't just kill off their main cash cow for no apparent reason. That's all I'm saying. All of the "why would he do this?!?" posts are

Most successful business don't make huge decisions like this if there wasn't a reason. And instead of speculation, we know why this split is happening. Think back with "The Social Network" was pulled from Netflix. The reason was that

You have to realize how fast it happened, I'm sure their brains have barely had time to process what happened let alone telling the rest of their body to get the hell out of there. 400-500mph is REALLY fast.

In addition, from what I know, Joyent has hired many of the original contributors to solaris and opensolaris (and now SmartOS).

I would use it if it allowed groups to keep all of their issues in one place. Our organization has 20+ repos, so having 20+ bug trackers is pretty dumb. If they make a toplevel issue tracker, I think we'd switch to it.

Most people using github for their everyday work do it the way Scott mentioned. Github's pull request system is fundamental to its success and everyone I know's workflow.

I don't use jenkins, I use buildbot, but I'm sure it is quite similar. If you use github's post-receive hooks it reports all branches not just master when something changes. So if jenkins can build from a posted JSON object, it is quite

Thanks for all that you have done as well Hemos. Slashdot was my home from about '98 to '03 and I have more cherished memories from it, than any site since.

"I think the difference here is that you imagine people standing still for 8 hours straight. Obviously that would be a bad idea. No one seems to promote that." Why is that obviously bad? I stand for 9-10 hours straight. It took probably t

I did. I was even in a shared cube environment so I couldn't even raise the desk surface. So instead I got some boxes and put a piece of plywood on top, then put my monitor/keyboard/mouse on top of the platform. It looked pretty weird,

I disagree with the notion that you "need" to sit or stand. I've been standing while working for over a year now. I stand for 8+ hours a day, and even when I take a lunch break I find myself standing while eating. My standing desk is jus

“We hope to sell millions . . . Anything below millions will be disappointing.” I think they will be disappointed. I can't name a smart phone where it takes more than about 2 keystrokes to do anything you want on Facebook.

I also mess up the numbers. HN has so many ridiculous ways to log in, that I forgot a couple of times how I logged in (native, google, open auth, etc.) so I've created four or so accounts now. If I add them up I'm > 100, but no sing
