This is an interesting thought exercise. I'm going to postulate that there is a benefit of the AGPL. Lets take a look at a company like JBoss, who may have benefited from the AGPL opposed to the LGPL they use. A company who wanted to use

Has PG matured an incredibly amount in the last few years? Honestly, I hated his writing before (which may be part of the point, incite controversy and get me to remember who he was and what he said), but lately I've thought his essays wer

Sounds like a problem with any OS license, not just AGPL...

Don't a lot of Open Source companies make you sign copyright over? Or is that not the case. How did MySql handle this since they were dual licensed?

Well, an interesting study would be finding out if rich couples opposed to couples who find each other attractive are happier overall. One may or may not be a better indicter of long term compatibility.

Ah. Cool. I've ran into him here and there in cyberspace and a had a few good discussions, always knew he was brilliant, just didn't know how successful he was. :)

I didn't know you had a huge exit. Or are you talking about money you've made from being a semi-famous hacker now? >(The reasons are more complicated but the result is I prefer my misery.) Either way, that problem might be solved by a g

Ok, I've written a system very similar to what Herb describes, and on one hand, its definitely a good abstraction and prevents a lot of the silly mistakes I've made. What it doesn't really give you, is any superior way to handle transaction

Good article, short and to the point. I especially find the last one intriguing, rightfully pointing out that Reddit may be one of the few sites to store things that a user doesn't like, and it may be quite the competitive advantage oppo

I don't really understand the notion that people hate Ads. People hate irrelevant ads. I'm stoked when an Ad reminds me of a new CD that came out of a band I like, or the latest book that people have been talking about, etc. I really th

Good article, sensational title. A more apt name would be "Scala can sometimes be a pain in the ass for Serious Development". Using an RC is risky, even if it has a high number attached to it.

Ok, I'm going to actually suggest something crazy instead of either the stock market or blowing it all on a trip around the world, or hookers and booze. The two latter suggestions may be more worthwhile individually, but for the sake of

You're looking at the problem in the short term. What offering more money can do is increase the prestige of a profession, and increase the number of intelligent people going into the field. Right now a large majority of very smart, crea

How did you evaluate it was a small niche? Are you getting any growth in terms of customer signups per month?

what? It means everything. Selling lemonade from a stand can be profitable, but the skills required for that to be successful in no way transfer to running a company that sells to every grocery store in america.

I'm still confused, is it a single multiprocessor machine, or is it a 'cluster' in the sense that each node has a single processor? (You used both threads and inter-process, but also implied multiple nodes...)

Does anyone understand if this is a bunch of CPUs that are 'virtualized' to look like separate systems, or is it a 512 way SMT machine?

This is the case where the first competitor to make a standard, and have more than a couple legitimate vendors following a standard, will dominate the market.

Hrm, interesting. I would have thought the way allocation is done with threadlocal variables negate a lot of the scaling for allocs, but I could be wrong. Do you have a direct link to the PDF, or mind putting it somewhere? I don't have an

Uh, how is java better at 'engineering' than scala. Do you know what Scala is?
