Studies have shown... that you are probably a white male. For sure I am, yet your attitude, particularly your apparent denial of genuine disadvantages experienced by women, or more generally, by none-white males, is appalling. We are not

Agreed, it seems many people look at Maria as a way out if MySQL itself or its licensing ever turns on them, without wanting to support them in the current tense.

I've read through a few definitions of the word "censorship", just now, and I don't think any of them make this particular distinction.

That link says: blocking access due to copyright issues. Respectfully, I don't think you're doing justice to the Turkish freedom of speech issue of Wikipedia being blocked by bringing up The Pirate Bay.

The latter being censorship is really an opinion rather than undisputed, fact, or a guaranteed majority opinion.

Not a very literate and informed reply I'm having here, but just from friendly conversations with a few South Koreans, what I'm getting is that the current generation, many of which haven't grown up in an active war situation

What if there were multiple non-profits that can keep each other honest?

Yes, but I can easily reason myself into scenarios where the intermediate result would be prohibitively large.

Yes! Follow your passion! Please! (I mean that with all my heart.) But... You don't have to impose your will, for still to have an opinion about certain job choices. (And other life choices too.) "Acting" came up as an answer

I'm often confronted by them ugly double-spaces, they upset me a lot, but there they are, mocking me. I've made some peace with the notion that for monospaced fonts the extra space may possibly have some use. That brings me to an

We have Elasticsearch as a generic document search engine, each document has a non-trivial amount of properties (let's say 50 or so). It's incredibly performant for all sort of searches, the details of each of which this solution

I respect the no bylines approach. But using initials on the website is a misleading feature, if, like they say, these aren't disambiguated between different authors. If you have four staff members with "J.P.", I'd sugge

Personally I would appreciate when those who got pigeonholed into finding their consecutive jobs "the same sh*t" don't foreshadow that onto those yet to graduate. It's good that those coming into the job market newly kno

It's great when used well. I'm a (Java) developer/architect type, but being involved more in infrastructure and deployments makes me a better overall contributor. If I follow your reasoning, my job would have been "defla

This looks nice, and I may have some use for it, although I'm surprised this didn't exist yet. At the same time I feel that this kind of caching is as often a smell as it is necessary in an application.

I wish upon everyone a working relationship where honesty has more value, for all involved, than "don't tell anyone" tactics.

This sounds like some kind of contracting relationship. I have a regular daytime job, but contract in my own time, and I find that that is a much better construction for me to weigh putting in more time, getting paid, versus taking my rest

If I ever get a new job, I buy a new, empty (obviously) notebook, and take notes. I love the tactility of real paper for that. I'm ooold, I suppose. After a while I will always notice that, while I keep bringing the notebook to meeting

Ow, how I would have loved for not only Sanders, but also Trump to have been cheated out of their primary election, and then them both to have started a new party, America would have been a four-party system, overnight. One can dream...

Sorry for the off-topic, but why is this available free on Morning Star, and paid-for on WSJ? Don't assume Morning Star is ripping WSJ, so is the pay wall a lie (for this (sort of) article)?

I'm all for technical solutions to this problem, but after reading the original article, I can't help but pointing out that this scam was social engineering, not technical engineering.

It's great that you can afford that stance. It really is. But you can't expect individual companies all to be vigilantes; it's governments and/or governing bodies that need to step in and fix this mess.

Aren't they just throwing a lot of different things at the wall, to see what (which ones) stick? While, yes, I do have a problem with Uber's attitude, and also I'm generally more charmed by doing one thing and doing it right,

We recently revamped our in-house deployment process of GitLab, and while we are certainly addicted to Docker Kool-Aid, the Docker image for GitLab just didn't do it for us. This is a few months ago, so my specifics would be a little r
