Microsoft using open source components is very much in line with other large tech companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple. It isn't really something to applaud, and just normal business strategy for any tech company in 2016.

Just don't do it. If you are creating a startup, particularly if it is in any way related to your current work then the clear answer would be to never use any work computers in any part of the startup. Your workaround of just remote de

This project seems to just be for daily data while cal-heatmap can do different levels of aggregation. I guess the flipside is that this project looks a bit easier to call and is probably lighter. I used cal-heatmap to track at what time I

It is a shame that Thomas Ptacek felt so strong about his "don't roll your own cryptography" manta that he decided to attack people personally over it. It was pretty clear that cryptocat was a product of an enthusiastic and y

This should be called React Obfuscate rather that React Armor. I've done a fair amount of web scraping before and each of their tricks can be broken with enough care. Obfuscating html not only breaks many of the good things about the w

It is interesting to compare this with Apache Spark, which won the open source Graysort competition of 2014 [1]. Apache Spark completed a 1PB sort on 190 EC2 (i2.8xlarge) instances in 234 mins. Google did their 2011 1PB sort on 8000 compute
