I have been involved in open source and non-commercial, volunteer driven projects for at least a decade. It's true that it's not right to demand volunteers who spend their time on the projects to answer questions. However, in this

I agree. It's also odd that this clarification of the project status has been posted here now and there has been no reply to that thread in (what I think is) the official mailing list, which has been going on for around a week, where p

Thank you. That does look promising. Read their blog and just downloaded the app. One question - it expects me to login to casually browse. Do you know how they manage the login? They present a on screen login windows and I'm a bit par

>> - DRM Curious about this one. Do you mean using HTML5 might make it easier to copy the content? And using Flash prevents/makes it difficult to do that? Or is there more to it?

I am not associated with the Kafka dev team or Confluent in any way but have been using Kafka since their 0.7.x days. Speaking of their open source commitment so far, I haven't seen any kind of problems in the way they deal with the co

Never heard of them before but apparently they have been around since 2004 and they support 450k websites and their only revenue model is advertising. I doubt they had a solid technical and business plan behind this service.

Complete newbie question - If a company isn't yet in public market, where and how do the ex-employees sell their stock? Who controls/decides the prices and who are allowed to buy such stocks?

Never used Vine app and the vine video don't render on my browser which has flash disabled. But having just read the features of vine app, I'm surprised Twitter decided to let this go. An app which allows creating and playing 6 se

If the reason why you feel this way is solely because your colleagues don't respond on official day offs, then I don't really think they deserve to be called lazy. Sometimes I work on official day offs, but I completely shut mysel

Given that this involves memory allocation and the fact that it has to be triggered with a specific sequence of HTTP requests, does it mean that the possibilty of this happening is extremely rare? Any system on which this attempt is done pr

I felt it was an odd post for using as example a workflow which is common and then in the end trying to depict as something the developer has to be blamed for, for not using a UI for branching out. Furthermore, using their UI doesn't g

I never knew that it was an accepted practice to have MITM techniques for monitoring activities in cases like the author notes in that thread. I'm not an expert but is this common? I haven't heard something like this before.

Given that a voting system is in place, why not let the duplicate stay open and just mark it as a duplicate and link it to the other thread? People who don't like the new thread can down vote it and people who do want to contribute mea

The title is misleading, IMO. Looking at the image of the mail conversation, it looks like the author of the repo initiated a mail with docker legal team asking if it's OK to use those names to which the docker team politely replied it

8 odd tweets and not much real context/content related to the sensational title. Sounds more like rambling.

Which version? The latest 3.x version, that I use, almost stalls trying to load a file of relatively small size of 20 odd MBs.

Great time to be asking this question. I am in the middle of a weekly call right now that has spanned more than 2 hours now and we are discussing almost the same "we will do this, we are doing this" kind of things that we talked o

I prefer less. Incidentally, the other day I was on a CentOS system where I wanted to paginate a log file and typed in "less". Turns out, unlike more, less isn't installed by default. Was a bit surprised because I was under t

I think a large chunk of that 14k employees being laid off would be on H1B visas. Can't imagine that many local employees all at Cisco.

The article talks about around 50K employers registered on these job portals, as a metric. Bit surprised since I always thought the number of potential employees was a more valuable metric. Don't see that number being mentioned in thei
