Speaking generally, companies aren't good at running community based open source projects -- their interests don't always align with what is best for an open source project. When a project like Cassandra came to Apache, there were only a co

I agree. Cloudkick did very well with a freenium model -- it let sysadmins try out our service on their personal machines -- and it led to many using it inside their businesses later. Those kinds of conversions and upsells are the perfect r

Its a well known 'feature' of Internet Explorer: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q294... Apache has had a work around for this since.. forever.

I wish there was a patch where you could enable it on linux via a ioctl/setsockopt. Would be very useful to those of us who aren't google. Edit: I wished, google already sent the patch in May for this: http://www.amailbox.org/mailarchive/

Sure, all possible, but actually the Backwoods smoker we use is very nice -- its insulated, it can be 300 degrees on the inside, and cool to the touch on the top of it -- you can see in the photo that we sat a plastic tub on top of it, with

Making it 'raw fast' is what compilers/JITs are for. You still need to pick the right algorithms, but I've personally been really focusing on elegancy. Maintenance and Operation of code is the major costs of software, not writing new stuff

Sounds nice, though this one restriction: Do not rely on query string parameters. CloudFront does not preserve query string parameters. (For more information, see Query String Parameters.) Kinda sucks :( Makes it a not-quite-st

Good. DNA is just a sequence of bits, software is too. Genetics has turned into a minefield because of patents. Cross-licensing crap worse than even software. It will probably take another decade if this ever changes, but I'm hopeful!

it is better, on average. having 20 random-version-bundled copies of libxml2 for example would make upgrading it a massive pain. i think this actually a better example of setuid binaries burning you more so than dynamic linkers.
