But with IntelliJ you get downgraded to the version it had when you bought the license I think.

https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What...

"When purchasing an annual subscription, you will immediately get a perpetual fallback license for the exact version available at the time (of the purchase)."

Parenthesis mine.

jackbravoon On Password Managers

We use https://www.pwsafe.org/. It has clients for android, iOS and windows. In Mac and Linux you can use password-gorilla with the same files. And sync with dropbox.

jackbravoon Author of cURL denied entry to the USA

US Conferences should be done in Mexico instead ;-). Maybe a beach like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. Or a big city like Mexico City, Guadalajara or Monterrey.

jackbravoon My Father, in Four Visits Over Thirty Years

She does come across a little entitled, specially reading about his Refugee novel here:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/04/dina-nayeri-un...

But at the same time I think both are very interesting reads, with a different point of view of what I'm used to, so for that it was a worth read.

jackbravoon Drupal project imploding, core developers ejected for S&M hobbies

The original source would be this link: https://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/tmi-outing

Followed by this by Dries Buytaert, Drupal BDFL: http://buytaert.net/living-our-values

And then there was this other response from Larry: https://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/tmi-part-2

And besides techcrunch, there was this other piece by inc.com: http://www.inc.com/sonya-mann/drupal-larry-garfield-gor.html

jackbravoon Dakota Access Pipeline to win US Army permit for completion

On the fortune.com link you posted says:

"The tribe has been encouraging protesters to go home since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed to an environmental review of the $3.8 billion project in December."

But now, the news is that it seems the environmental review won't be needed.

jackbravoon Why I replaced MIT with copyleft license for Nodemailer

Under a copyleft license you CAN use it however you want. You just are obliged to open source any modification you make to it.

I'm not sure how the "derived works" clause applies to node.js projects using this project.

jackbravoon 69% of Americans Have Less Than $1,000 in Savings Accounts

If they asked me how much money I had in savings, I would guess they are referring to money I have either in a savings account, or with an investment firm or somehow saved for my retirement. And not specifically in a savings account.

jackbravoon Apathy of the Commons

Drupal has this problem, and has tried to counter this fact with:

- novice tags for bugs [1] - mentions on your project bio page detailing how many contributions you have on drupal projects in the past three monts (even if it was only rolling a patch or commenting, if your name is just mentioned in the commit, you don't need to be the author) [2] - and a lot of documentation on getting started [3]

And Dries (the creator of drupal) touch this same topic (comparing open source with the commons) in a 2014 DrupalCon keynote): https://youtu.be/4NN5EM4CYVE?t=10m45s

jackbravoon Harper Lee has died

What a great article. I specially liked this bit:

Orwell didn’t think that Dickens should have written different novels; he loved Dickens. But he understood that Dickens bore the ideological marks of his time and place. His class did not see the English social order as tyrannical, worthy of being overthrown. Dickens thought that large contradictions could be tamed through small moments of justice. He believed in the power of changing hearts, and that’s what you believe in, Orwell says, if you “do not wish to endanger the status quo.”

jackbravoon ZFS is the FS for Containers in Ubuntu 16.04

Here is another post from the parent about this issue specificaly:

- http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/02/zfs-licensing-and-lin...

"We at Canonical have conducted a legal review, including discussion with the industry's leading software freedom legal counsel, of the licenses that apply to the Linux kernel and to ZFS.

And in doing so, we have concluded that we are acting within the rights granted and in compliance with their terms of both of those licenses."

And it is remarkably true that the Debian project is like a unicorn. Very few projects are truly a community effort, and at the same time truly democratic. Linux has a BDFL (Benevolent Dictator for Life) as Drupal, Wordpress and many other projects.

The creator of ghost (the blogging platform) was a wordpress developer. He doesn't think that wordpress hasn't changed:

This is probably easier to maintain (code wise) using different root folders, but configuring the http output folder within apache or nginx configuration.

Atlassian had a great blog post about tig that convinced me to start using it:

jackbravoon Nokia Agrees to Buy Alcatel-Lucent for $16.6B

Alcatel is one of the main companies that sells FirefoxOS phones here in México. I wonder if it is the same in other countries. And I wonder if this will affect FirefoxOS in the long run? Will they switch to Windows?

jackbravoon Post-Capitalism: Rise of the Collaborative Commons

I really liked your point B. I think it is very well put and shines light in real problems, instead of just saying "Damn capitalism!".

I didn't liked your point A. Your comparison doesn't make any sense.

Lack of GCM was one of their primary reasons for not providing an APK for TextSecure for users who don't use Google Play (like users with CyanogenMod).

Hopefully that option will be available soon.
