Indeed one of the largest issues we face is not just building a new reservations, inventory, departure control platform on Linux but having them work in conjunction with our legacy TPF systems. Newer airline systems don't have this problem and have complete degrees of freedom. Interesting to see a new reservations platform and not just flight search coming out into the wild.
heh.. I was wondering towards the end, are there no hackers/script kiddies/bots from Canada? But the last couple of seconds flared up from there, cool hack.
Great product.. This disrupts all of the clunky screen sharing products I have used in my tech life. Dare I be bold and state this may be the Dropbox of screen sharing.
Ah the power of opensource.. This post exemplifies why I love open sourced projects, as stated the maintainers knew of the bug but it fell to the wayside and this fine gentlemen took it upon himself to fix it. We have to fight Oracle/Cisco to come up with patches for small subtle bugs at work. If the bug is not critical/widespread patches take forever.
At first at thought "He-Man on HN?", then after reading the article I had a good laugh as it brought me back to the good old days as a child, and now how have complete understanding of how cheesy He-man really was but sadly didn't see it until now, yep ignorance is bliss.
Thank you sir.. watched the screen cast on youtube, and immediately purchased. I have an ongoing Python/Gtk app for work and this simplifies my UI tasks tremendously.
Very good read.. this post is actually "Hacker News", Seems my Fedora hosts are not susceptible as they compiled with -pie and the kernels at work haven't been updated in sometime.
+1 for you sir, we are constantly fighting with Unix admins who refuse to install anything but the generic terribly old 2.3 - 2.4 Python versions that are bundled with their default enterprise Suse packages, which only leads to full /home issues since everyone just downloads their own versions, compiling extensions manually.
The portion that explains of how subprocess shuns dev/ops guys in the beginning is so true. Perl/Bash colleagues at work would basically ask me how to perform output=`command`. Once they seen subprocess, they would continue writing their script in Bash/Perl.
I can immediately envision some use cases for this RTM at the workplace, yet our log file throughput is extremely high, so I would have to incorporate some type of throttling mechanism, Great Project...
Peter Jones would not have invested regardless of what whey wore. The lack of a suit was the excuse to easily dismiss the pitch. Investors simply care about ideas and how much revenue can be generated from the idea plain and simple.
Indeed, many enterprises such as the one I work for do not care about Google apps etc.. not working since they usually cater their browser versions towards in-house software development.
Indeed, great idea/hack but the only issue I can foresee is Dropship becoming very popular for illegal file duplication, bringing forth the attention of the RIAA/publishers etc.. causing legal headaches for our beloved Dropbox.
Seen this post late, currently receiving a
"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'EpiOAuthException'"
with a PHP stack trace, really should hide errors like this from being displayed on the webpage.
hmm.. decisions , decisions now I really cannot decide who to go with for Node hosting, I'm crossed between Nodester,Dotcloud,akshell and now Duostack, guess the auto horizontal scaling is a huge plus.
Node.js is especially interesting because it can be suited to a person like me (with a system administration background) to learn and use Javascript. Most system admins I know don't usually have a need or care to learn JS under the DOM, now that we can create network system utilities using JS with ease it is an attractive alternative to Python/Twisted for some of my projects.
