To me the real question is not about shipping products vs good programmers. There is is a much more important question when it comes to writing ugly or pretty code: Does it work and will you maintain it? In my experience I often had to ofte

A few small addendum: * Objective-C is from 1983, do you? It's not exactly new. ;) * Nimrod is pretty fast and as the only language even supports soft-realtime applications out of the box. Besides that it feels the nicest to use and ha

And Go is even slower, so what? If you want to squeeze out every little bit of performance, use C and not a fairly young, mostly unoptimized, heavily changing, not-yet-1.0 language.

I agree. It's still more beautiful in my opinion though. I don't like Chrome either, but a few parts of it are nice. The thing I dislike most about recent Firefox releases is that the selected search engine influences URL bar sear

XMPP would be cool too and suddenly you have a chatbox. Would be cool to have in all the "home server" platforms (Freedom Box, ArkOS, ...) too!

If you think it is a crazy idea and don't see the reason. Think about social insurance systems and how many people are needed just for the paperwork, support when it comes to question, doctors who (re)verify that someone is really sick

It basically does the same thinf as insurances do. It reduces risks for the individual. The benefit of this version is that it has a way smaller overhead than an insurance has. Insurances have a risk for the company/state giving out th

Yep, rather straight forward thought there. If you are outside, it's late, you maybe had a drink and it's even raining this can happen. You can also accidentally cause a submit while entering your email address. Of course when you

Yes and no. You can consider buying a newspaper a donation. Actually what you suggest already has been tried in various forms, the outcome being stuff like indymedia, but also others. The problem you face here is that having no ads in your

You do realize this is common and goes into both directions? The same has in lets say Europe, where news don't dare to talk badly about the US or Russia. It's a really common thing. Nobody wants to be the reason for diplomatic tro

If you want to scale out using a replica-strategy you really want to have the most recent version of PostgreSQL. It made things like log shipping pretty much an automatic experience. It still has rough edges, but the latest version really m

Well, if I make the same sacrifices I make to use Mongo I don't really have a reason to use PostgreSQL. No, but I really like the recent enhancements in PostgreSQL. Failover is nearly as easy as in MongoDB, however all this doesn'

We actually use both of them in our system. I really wish PostgreSQL wasn't such an enormous challenge to scale horizontally.

I wish this would become become big. Something I wonder about the closed hardware drivers.. I am sorry, no hardware hacker, but what I always wonder is whether or not something like ReNouveau for Nvidia Graphics Cards would also be helpful

What I find funny is that this piece of software actually tells you more about what it does than software you pay money for and even uninstalls itself, after it is not needed anymore. It's kinda weird how malware is better quality than

I am sorry, but this sounds like you simply don't know the language. Javascript has one big problem and that is that most people either know it from front end people who are NOT really into programming and on the other side there are m

I remember, long ago when the Linux community was much smaller everyone wanted a killer feature so hardware vendors would do something like this. Never thought something like Steam could be such a killer feature.

This is amazing. Well, not really as amazing anymore from a technical perspective, but the Nouveau-Project, which had a really hard road came into existence because such a move seemed to be impossible, back then.

I know. I mostly ask, because a lot of people these days keep nearly every kind of data in databases and ZFS usually isn't the best thing for this (depending on the exact use case of course). It's by far one of the most exciting f
