It solves the "we have recently been acquired and have a lot of resources that we must put to use" problem.

That page is hard to understand. It is presented in my own language, but gives the impression of being translated by a drunk person with a dictionary, with plenty pages torn out. While I can get a general understanding of the points being r

Goaccess ( https://github.com/allinurl/goaccess ) does this in real time and has been very stable for well over a decade.

We often read about how organizations are so bad because they don't spend enough on security. That slope is particularly slippy. Crowdstrike is very expensive.

Not sure that's a great idea. This stuff tends to have very high privilege access. It's enough that one of your anti virus vendors get hacked for your whole organization to get owned...

In that we can agree. But I would put "build on operating systems intended for the purpose" on top of that list, too. There is no excuse for building airline or bank systems on office operating systems and trying to compensate by

How is your lack of a stable HDMI signal relevant to that the world's airlines and supermarkets and banks probably shouldn't run Windows with third-party antivirus software bolted on? That is a platform originally intended for off

Yes, but that Pro Git is developed by people outside the core development team (whatever that might mean) is beside the point. The point is that it is documentation that does not move in lockstep with the software. And most good documentati

Why stop there? Extrapolate that thought, keep generating more variants of the code, claim copyright, and seek rent from other people doing the same thing. To extrapolate full circle, there would be a business opportunity to generate as man

That is also true. But I realize the above comment could be more clear, perhaps with an example. A well working project such as git has a Documentation directory in the same repository. That's good, but that documentation is far from e

Love your blog, but in this case I want to take a more nuanced, if not opposite, stance: There are many things closely related to code, that shouldn't necessarily live in the same repository. First, we need a common understanding of wh

It's not a well defined question so there is not any single answer. But I'll give you the most useful answer, which is also perhaps the most boring: Because people have more important things to do.

There's a useful label for all this technobabble: Not even wrong. You don't "feel" neural pathways in any sense of the word. While the description of how pathways strengthen may be correct on a high level, there are like

Give it a go, then! No one would be more happy than me if you would prove me wrong. Until then, I'd have to side with said pessimists here.

This could be put more succinct: Trivial problems are trivial. Of course you can keep splitting your teams when you are delivering a well defined product to customers. You could probably also have not split those teams. 50 people is trivi

That's not automating your job. That's like saying I'm automating my job by running commands instead of manipulating electrons. It's doing your job.

Instead of -O you want to use --remote-name-all otherwise you have to specify -O for every URL specified. For the same reason, remove $1 and rely on all parameters being added at the end of line. The example above will only download

I looked up the only brand of fold down tables I know and apparently they started already in 1981, so it makes sense the product was well established half a decade later. Parallel invention happens, it is not a complicated invention, but it

Fraud? That would be bizarre. Companies buy sports arenas and private jets all the time.

Why would have shareholders get extra returns from this scheme? Lowered taxes is a one off event. If you had constantly lowered taxes, like we had constantly lowered interest for a couple of years, then that could have been expected to be r

Absolute immunity does not make for a credible juridical system. While most democracies have some sort of restrictions, a full out absolutely immunity is not very common. Wikipedia has a (non-inclusive) list: https://en.wikipedia

Not really a monopoly, as there are several competing brands. At least abroad. There are plenty of other markets with an dominating actor where competition isn't harmed, so it's not considered problematic in the antitrust sense. O

The community was smaller back then, and the four freedoms were generally considered fundamental. That was absolutely the case with the founding of the OSI, which Peterson took active part in. If Peterson has a different opinion, you should

That's not very likely to succeed, is it? LLMs can do a lot of things, but writing software that not only parses semi-proprietary file formats but also analyze unstructured data sounds more than little bit far fetched. I'd be impr

You still have to learn the syntax even if it is expressed in json or yaml. Perhaps stating the obvious, but not every json object is a valid ntp configuration. The configuration object will always and by definition be proprietary to ntp. E

This makes sense. The clock is just another piece of hardware to be virtualized and shared among the guests. But last time I said that with some pretense of authority, someone shoved me a whitepaper from VMware that said the opposite. Best

If there is a "benchmark" for open source analytics, it's probably Matomo.org which has been around for a long time and is a standard PHP app you can just deploy. It's normally run with javascript tracking to do things l

I love Matrix but they do have a bit of a monoculture problem which I hope will get better when the protocol stabilizes. As long as they document their standards we should be fine. Their big commercialization push could turn out to be probl
