The whole question of Cloud A vs Cloud B vs on-prem is exactly why I think containerization and the use of Docker and Docker orchestration makes these questions somewhat irrelevant because you can deploy the same containers to both clouds (

In general, involving legal counsel as soon as possible is the best option. The worst possible scenario is for it be proven that you knew about something and didn't take steps to deal with it in a timely manner.

Personally, I would love a flip phone with a removable battery and a physical button on the side to turn WiFi hotspot functionality on/off -- with OFF being the default. Having a phone that you only need to charge once a week is a grea

What could _ possibly _ go wrong? Actually, this is an innovative idea to try to solve the problem of how a retailer with little to no physical locations can be more convenient. If weren't constitutionally impossible I could see Amazon

"Longer than you expected." Unless you married the right one... in which case you didn't get married soon enough and one lifetime -- even a long one -- seems like such an unfair privation of what could have been...

Ditching HTML for CommonMark (like MarkDown but without any daring fireballs) would be better IMO. Then again, the designers of HTML had no idea what it would become when they carved out a subset of SGML for their document markup. If we wer

There's nothing "wrong" with XML but with JSON there's no need to add another 5 pounds (2.2 KG) of JavaScript to convert XML to JavaScript objects. For any other language it doesn't matter since you're re-mappi

Why are people not interviewing @adamcurry when they do stories about podcasting? He co-invented the technology, had "the first" podcast, has a massively popular podcast currently, and founded a company attempting to monetize the

I think the closest we have to this at the moment is Apple Pay -- and I presume Samsung/Google pay work the same way -- where the card number for a given transaction is changed every X number transactions.

Linux is the kernel... so shouldn't the question be "What's the most popular operating system distribution built on a linux kernel?" Even at that point you have to specify whether Ubuntu and it's progeny are all co

I'm curious if the maintainer stats include demographics such as race, gender, etc. An open project where anyone who wants to contribute may do so would provide a sociologically interesting set of data points which could be useful in t

Partially spent nuclear fuel, which some call "waste", can be reprocessed. Moreover, the use of Thorium (LFTR) reactors allows partially spent uranium fuel to be fully used. Unfortunately, LFTR reactors were abandoned in the US be

"Expertise arbitrage" is what pays my mortgage and keeps my kids fed. I don't see a need to complain about this, personally.

Memo to self: include a clause in future start-up ventures allowing the co-founders to be kicked out of the company -- and possibly losing their ownership share -- if they engage in conduct detrimental to the company. Isn't that alread

While my job title isn't made-up, I've noticed the same. I've also noticed that very few people actually like LinkedIn -- my colleagues and I only use it because someone convinced us all that we need to be on it. I'm s

Trolling aside, the freedom allowed to not show all of your cards that MIT/MSD/Apache allows is better for business, and if the app is essential to their business then they will contribute fixes back upstream. An example is Junipe

You sure this is only for web? I got the impression that a story authored with Oak could just as easily be vectored to the web, newsprint, or magazine. Clearly video and audio content don't apply to the latter two but I can see where O

This is a great question. Where I work we use TFSVC and the VP of Engineering is willing to green-light a switch to Git as long as we can make a data-driven, objective case for why Git is better. In other words: "the devs prefer it&quo
