Office of 20 here. Now almost everyone's in agreement that we'll move off Chrome. And we'll recommend our families and friends do the same.

This is how Firefox (pre-bloat) gained traction at the expense of IE, and this is how chrome gained traction at the expense of Firefox/IE.

And now this is how chrome's market share will decline as tech leaders, journalists and then the public find out how much of a privacy nightmare it really is.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject but how can Boeing be ahead if they don't have any rockets?

>Another example is BTC vs BCH. BCH is the original bitcoin code, but BTC is the original Bitcoin community.

I think that's a rather disingenuous if not patently misleading statement.

BCH is factually and unequivocally a fork of bitcoin code and blockchain.

it's not: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

It's possible more than one system could replace SWIFT, but why would it be Stellar/Lumens who are still in the gate with their fork when Ripple/XRP seem to be already round the first bend with seemingly very large momentum in terms of interest, trials and actual production use by financial institutions?

Given that stellar/lumen is a fork of ripple/xrp, and ripple/xrp seem to have a massive head start with what 100+? bank and payment providers already on board - are stellar/lumen not just competing head to head with Ripple with essentially the same technology but with a handicap of being behind in terms of development and not having an in-use production network and settlement solution?

Not so long ago a high percentage of the Top500 were running SUSE Enterprise Linux.

I'm sure this was because at one point CRAY built one for the US DoD/DoE leveraging AMD Opertons & SUSE, and of course CRAY used to be the big name in supercomputers so I'm sure that influenced other builders choices. Then I recall the US DoD/DoE mandating a Linux OS engineered closer to home, so Red Hat got the nod.

So I wonder what the prevalence of the various distros in supercomputing is now?

So many services and organisations have gone after hyperlocal for the perception of the ad-revenue that's just waiting to fall into their hands - because if someone's reading about a car accident near their route home they need an advert for the local carwash right?

Similarly if they are reading about some music gig coming up in the area they need an ad or offer for 25% off burgers at hipster burger joint du-jour that covers that night.

I once worked on a hyperlocal project that was funded by a television company to actually curate a stream of interesting and novel content about the local area. These were trained journalists curating sourced and self-created content. If the content was good enough then there would be ad-revenue (and deal placement) to follow, or so you would think. Turns out nobody was interested at all.

I don't think user submitted content will be engaging enough, but we'll see. I think anyone with a disposable income that could be targeted for hyperlocal ads or deals doesn't have enough time to use this app as well as twitter/facebook/whatever.

Thanks, very interesting difference.

Google's grant protects (or tries to protect) specific tech, Facebook's grant protects (or tries to protect) as an umbrella, the organisation.

Well - can't comment on how effective it will be as a disincentive to sue, but I do feel at the same time if it does succeed in that goal it will almost certainly act equally as a negative factor in adoption; because it's my opinion that this is creating a soft-walled garden around Facebook open source tech.

What's the difference between say the PATENTS file/grant in these Facebook projects and the PATENTS file/grant in Go which Kubernetes is written in?

Not being inflammatory, genuinely interested as a user of both Go and React...

Yep! Absolutely great ethos this distro has, pretty easy (and fun) to contribute to :)

Ugh... not a great article, I don't tend to read micro benchmark articles with baited breath for some nuggets of insight so no surprise really.

WRT Go:

Linux implementation of SO_REUSEPORT initially had a few big gotchas, such as incoming conns could get dropped if one of the multiple listening process terminates. I don't know what the state of affairs is now however it was an eminently sensible position not to support it on Linux way back when.

So fasthttp doesn't really have a good reputation for correctness[1], sacrificing much of the HTTP specs for speed. I can't imagine I'd ever want to use it.

I'm not seeing it, just an uptick in usage. I find most places that previously used MySQL just use MariaDB instead.

> Fracturing is almost always a bad idea and bigger countries almost always do better than the smaller ones.

This is demonstrably false: roughly half of the top ten countries ranked by standard of living and quality of life are small European nations about the same size as Scotland.

Can't you just schedule an rclone cron job? http://rclone.org/ - it supports a decent number of cloud services, maybe one suits your budget/requirtements? That's what I do from my FreeNAS box.

Eh? this is not specious, a one off 0.005% deal is anti-competition and illegal under EU law, Apple doesn't get to decide what EU competition laws it can and cannot ignore. Ask Microsoft, ask Google... both tried, both failed.

Nobody is rushing to incorporate as a startup in the UK right now, quite the opposite - there's lots of talk of moving to Berlin/Paris/Stockholm. There are numerous reasons for this but I'll mention two strong disincentives:

1.) Impending `Brexit` and loss of access to the EU single market

2.) The 'Britain is Closed for business' nature of the new snoopers charter which compels online companies based in the UK to get government approval for any new technology that uses encryption, and also compels them to build backdoors for the government spooks if asked.

Ugh :( I'll personally be transferring away from 123reg now. Will probably open a discussion with colleagues to the same effect.

My understanding is there's a heavy amount of scraping involved.

>Gwan is less known around because it's not OSS but I believe still achieves unmatched performance.

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

And I might add... it's not just London.

We're dealing with the fallout already with some global retail brands based in the EU asking us for exceptional changes.

Judging by the mood of once upon a time British unionists here in Glasgow there's a strong probability of that.

I think this almost guarantees the break up of the UK (if the result stays with the leave Eu campaign). Scotland is voting overwhelmingly to remain in the EU.

I doubt we'll stand by and stomach a far right dogwhistle government. Most of the politicians advocating leaving the EU also want to abolish the Scottish parliament.

MySpace 2.0

No coverups here at all.

A single offline key and three sub-keys would be easier to manage than three distinct private keys.

Just using caddy server seems a lot simpler...

I think what's most interesting is strong multi threading support in conjunction with an intermediate representation.

Looking forward to seeing SPIR-V compilers in other languages...

Should issue management be complicated for most projects?

I suppose the polar opposite of guthub issues is something like bugzilla or jira. Both of which I've seen cause enough friction that to stymie projects.

Hello,

What can you provided over and above yubikey?

I work for a UK publisher with paywall sites. We hear (unverified) reports that micropayment revenue from Blendle is extremely lacklustre...
