The entire logic chain of this article can be summed up as: author likes copy left, heartbleed is still a timely topic, OpenSSL was copy middle, ergo if OpenSSL had use the license style the author prefers we wouldn't have had heartble

Well, I'm glad for the closer to public domain MIT licensing. I believe that the ability to sell it if you hit a home run leads to a lot of big ideas getting tried and the base hits making their way back into the open codebase. But I t

No. The way a lot of languages handle 3rd party dependencies is via a manifest file of some kind -- requirements.txt. These get installed on the system when deployed. JavaScript, however, tends to require (or at the least follow the pract

Namespaces people. Please respect them. Webhook is a thing that people google for information about all the time, and these jerks have just made finding information about webhooks, especially for any other CMS, twice as hard. Stop shitting

Is there another example of amazon doing discentive pricing? Every example of their pricing I've seen has been cost plus, cost plus, and/or cost plus. Thus it seems at least an order of magnitude more likely that the $.03 reflects

Those are all ways to allay the yellow flag, yes, and in an exhaustive search you'd easily pass the tests. But you still raise the flag/concern in a lot of cases. And if the evaluation is perfunctory, everyone with a yellow flag

It is a reasonable yellow flag in most industries. It isn't perfect evidence of them being inexperienced or untrustworthy, but it does increase the chance, at the population level, of that being true.

There are two things you can do with this information: 1) Balk at its seeming absurdity 2) Assume linkedin is a rational company and take the seeming absurdity as an insight into how to convert free users into premium users. It is shocking

I feel no need to hate a language, but I recognize that I have a feeling of hatred towards it. I also recognize that such feelings bias my words and feel that it is helpful to others when known biases are disclosed. In this context, I thin

It is a positive sentiment that even PHP haters can agree to. Seems like a very carefully crafted sentiment to endear themselves to PHP devs without alienating tribalistic Python/Ruby/etc devs. My bias: 80% hate, 18% apathy, and

It applies to all creative work, but I've had good experience with "forced alternatives." That is to say, Forcing myself or my team to come up with three options for architecture even if the first one seems to work. The pro

For true fairness there needs to be a single organization nationally that can collect and process the tax. 50 different filings is an unduly onerous and inefficient hurdle for setting up shop.

I can't help feeling a bit bad for the OpenSSL team in all of this. For years they did a thankless yeoman's work with insufficient resources and now that people are recognizing the work they did it's almost uniformly negativ

Money ~= power. Prop 8 was to reduce freedom of gays by non gays. Gay marriage has only "eww factor" affect on straight marriage. Thus, while it is fine to prefer gays not marry, it is wrong for group a to exert power against gr

Yes, you could say "donations can have thousands of motives" in the same way about a single issue group. But saying that would be unnecessarily obtuse and argumentative - one supports a single cause the other supports thousands o

There's an enormous false equivalency here: Prop 8 groups are single issue donations. A donation means exactly and only that you agree with the cause of anti-gay marriage. Politicians are many-thousand issue donations. I know of exac

It saddens me that people lump Market Making and HFT together. Over the past 100 years, the bid-ask spread has fairly steadily decreased due to technology and this fact in isolation is uniformly a good thing for retail investors. http:&#x

I applaud this effort and it is a step in the right direction for JS app error tracking, but it is a half-measure: we need to get to the point where frontend frameworks track this by default, post back to a common server endpoint, and then

Exactly. This article is written for "homo economicus" not homosapien. It assumes people are perfectly rational then argues that a technique built to overcome human limits on rationality and processing ability is suboptimal. Eco
