Easy question: I get a paycheck every other week from my employer, Red Hat, who pays me and thousands of other people to build, maintain, and support enterprise open source softwar…

This. A Python script is not the answer when I'm trying to do something quick and dirty at the shell. The beauty of shell scripting is that it evolves seamlessly from trying to sol…

> For many professionals your employer will often block / avoid GPL code, tools, and libraries. Indeed, which is why Linux is never found in a professional setting. /s

Not intentionally picking on Listmonk (or you), but when I hear "alpha-quality code" and start thinking about the complexities of marketing emails with GDPR, CCPA, and the constant…

> Arvind Krishna was "Jim Whitehurst's boss" until now Not true. Jim (and Red Hat under him) reported directly to Ginni. Red Hat was under IBM cloud for revenue reporting, though, …

I assume if the entire world is spending billions of dollars reworking culture, infrastructure, software, etc., that swapping to making weekly pay the norm is just a bit of noise i…

The point is the flood of the market with these folks' homes. If there's demand because of a new set of people come by them, that doesn't negate a rise in available properties from…

Our system: I make more, and I pay for the biggest expenses (mortgage, and previously cars and student loans before we paid those off) and have healthcare and whatnot taken from my…

Totally freelance? Not sure. Small teams doing custom site development? Absolutely. I've seen large companies pay six figures to stand up a microsite, the kind of thing that one pe…

> Amateur is ad hominem, and also simply incorrect. You're right. I do owe you an apology for that. Sorry. I still find the circumstances _around_ license discussions like this to …

To be absolutely clear, neither of these "License Zero" licenses are open source or open source compatible in any way whatsoever. Both explicitly violate the first principle of the…

So, uh, generate the power somewhere other than on shady roofs? Seriously, I don't get the weird obsession with rooftop PV as if it's the only way to be green. PV is great, but, it…

Huh? SuperTuxKart was initially released in 2007. I recall Linux distributions adding a GUI in about 1994.

Eh, I disagree vehemently with 5). - A geonerd and open data nerd who working now works in marketing engineering after years of working elsewhere in the stack.

This _type_ of license? Maybe. Depends on jurisdiction. _This_ license? Probably not. Making your own license is hard. The best advice is probably don't try unless you're a licensi…

I don't think you understand the Linux vendor support model. The labor isn't "donated" in any sense of the word. It's not like these big companies just pay hundreds of kernel devel…

Oh wow, great. I'm used to roadmaps and software planning cycles in months or years so "weeks" is probably before I could even get somebody to open an email to start thinking about…

Related (if the creator is still around): Is there a roadmap/timeline for SSO?

I see on Commento.io it explicitly mentions being able to import from Disqus comments, but the "Import from a different service" is behind a signup wall. Rather than signing up for…

Yes, good catch. "Reactive instead of proactive" might have been better phrasing.

I loved SimCity and it's probably among the reasons I got a masters degree in GIS with a focus in city planning. It turns out for a lot of reasons, real city planning wasn't for me…

I evaluated solar cells for my home, and ultimately decided against because I probably get more total energy saving from the current passive solar of having huge south-facing windo…

Constrained geography is an important part of shaping cities, but it's generally considered by geographers and urban planners to be an enormous positive.

This is a WONTFIX bug. The ad networks don't care. They're just serving ads paid for by a bidder who very much has decided that you're the target audience. They win when the bidder…
