The meta point here is that just in OSS folks assume that the code has been reviewed since it's open, but the reality is that unless someone actually does you really don't know. Th…

Or if we all get together and decide a company shouldn't behave in a certain way, that's another option. We call that government regulation when we everyone gets together to do tha…

I'd go off of the BitBucket plugin install counts and compare them to what you're getting on GH: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/bitbucket/top-s...

Joyent offers this as I recall, however it's only a scale up, I don't think they can scale down afterwards.

What were the points that made Critique amazing?

BitBucket doesn't have a large OSS community, but it does have a lot of larger business that need Jira and Confluence integration. So it could be worth it, just the user base isn't…

No, the first class airplane seats costs $250k each. https://gizmodo.com/heres-why-a-single-first-class-seat-can-... Also it looks like a row of non-first class seats can also cost…

Boeing does this with their seats in the factory too, they put a picture of a Lamborghini on the seats since they cost the same. EDIT: Yes, it's hard to believe a seat costs the sa…

It doesn't if users are working around it.

Fair enough, but why is there no standard shell or alternative interpreter?

wow, so we're against villains now?

That makes sense, and you actually do see RAIDs fail like that in the real world sometimes even on non-SSDs.

I would say no, you'd want the whole disk to fail then so you can just replace it vs. it getting smaller over time, which would make capacity planning pretty complex.

If you're not drinking a specific wine every day so to speak, and are tasting the subsequent vintages of the wine every year, your pallet won't be able to tell the difference reall…

No! That's sort of where this snobbishness comes from, the real wine culture isn't snobby... maybe even a mediocre wine turns to a great one in the right company. At least that's b…

I've found that over the past 20 years my taste in wine has gotten more particular, it's really more about how your palate changes over time. The expensive and famous wines aren't …

To add to my own comment even, that's why we have the Electoral College vs. a simple majority, it further allows smaller groups to have some say.

Exactly this, if you don't have that level of representation it leads to social problems down the line. The bloodshed in Iran and Iraq are shining examples of the extremes of what …

I've seen a number of tech interviews where the interviewer has played down candidates that were better than them (consciously or not). I've also been a interviewee many times and …

I'd agree, it's hard to beat if you need high bandwidth and low latency access to large data sets.

Thanks for the correction! That's somewhat encouraging.
