chei0aiV··on What the IBM Layoffs Look Like
If you use the url posted, it does a redirect from

http://spectrum.ieee.org/view-from-the-valley/at-work/tech-c...

to

http://spectrum.ieee.org/view-from-the-valley/at-work/tech-c...

and doesn't work on refresh.

But, if you remove the "#.VuHU1fevtY4.hackernews" fragment, the url works fine...

FYI, the TianoCore FAT driver is actually non-free thanks to Microsoft.

Here here. Probably some of those Macs are running Linux though.

People will still be able to game that scenario, just copy-paste from elsewhere.

> Immutable infrastructure is the future

Are there any downsides to immutable infrastructure?

chei0aiV··on Microsoft Joins the Eclipse Foundation
A few articles about why CLAs are not needed:

Wake me when they GPLv3 something and create a development community around it so that they aren't the sole copyright holder.
chei0aiV··on How Changing WebFonts Made Rubygems.org 10x Faster
Unfortunately browsers make it hard to actually disable CSS, you can disable it after page load but not before.
chei0aiV··on 'Music' from /dev/urandom
Great point, however the browser bar is only a single line. I guess this is where a global shortcut to start a text editor would be useful.
chei0aiV··on Big News for ZFS on Linux
I guess Oracle owns CDDL license stewardship now. It would be really interesting if they released CDDL-2.0 that just lets you relicense things under the GPL. The might do that, after all, execs from their predecessor, Sun, liked the GPL. Also they put Berkely DB under the AGPL.
chei0aiV··on Big News for ZFS on Linux
SFLC seem to think CDDL/GPL are ok:

Perhaps you are confusing them with SFC:

chei0aiV··on Proselint
Doesn't work at all in Firefox... it's just an editable page with no underlines or annotations. I was really confused until I tried with Chrome.
chei0aiV··on 'Music' from /dev/urandom
I mean CSS, as explained by the link I posted.

I hope everyone is turning off CSS before copy-pasting this command-line into their terminal :)
