So we integrated custom RISC-V servers in our bare metal servers infrastructure and made them available to the public to enable the building, porting and testing of more native RISC-V software.
A 4 Cores TH1520 with 16 GiB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC is 15,99€/month.
45 minutes, very interesting and high production value.
I'm happy with it but I do have a NAS at home that serves as a "always on" sync point for my other devices.
> While on the subject of smartphone driven hardware, experience has shown me that software has a much shorter mean-time-to-obsolescence than hardware. Any gizmo that needs an app to make it work will have the service life of a bluebottle, as Apple’s planned obsolescence orphans the app with an iOS upgrade.
This has been my experience too and I wish manufacturers would remove the requirement on having an app to use/configure the device.
Because of that, I try to make sure that such devices I design provides a basic web interface that makes it possible to setup and use the device.
This is impossible or at least difficult if the device is powered by a 8-bit MCU but with the dropping prices of beefier MCU and linux-compatible SoC this shouldn't be an issue in the future.
Of course, there is also the issue of remote services that those devices often depends on, even if it's not exactly necessary sometimes.
I'm using RabbitMQ for the broker, it supports MQTT too, this means I can use MQTT on the clients and the services on the backend only needs to understand AMQP.
I made a simple RPC system on top of it, unfortunately it's a homegrown solution as I couldn't use RabbitMQ RPC features with MQTT.
On the other hand, I still crap my pants when going through Bastille...
You are essentially right, though, have an efficient network requires good nodes and good paths, right now the paths are pretty good but some nodes are painful and to get around them, you need to leave the network.
For reference, here is a map of the existing and planned bike paths: http://i.imgur.com/PigJifZ.jpg
A 15km ride might be 13km of RER and 2km of biking, on some trips it's pretty damn fast even compared with a car that has to contend with traffic.
It doesn't solve the rain issue on the other hand. Especially as folding bikes generally have smaller wheels that tend to skid on wet pavement.
Not sure why the previous poster thinks this might be ISIS on the other hand.
It caused one graphical hang on my Mac and then it opened too many file descriptors, reaching the system limitations and I had to uninstall it and reboot.

There has been some bugs since Mavericks came out that still hasn't been fixed, mostly related to multiple monitors. That was an indication that it was going to be dropped.
It's fairly reliable but it's showing it's age right now.
That mains wiring is plain unsafe and almost criminal...

Which adds a lot of very useful features, I can heavily recommend it.

"Developers were keen to talk about new graphics possibilities with Web programming such as richer color and "extra draw distance" so players can see farther away from their character's local environment."
Web programming: more colors than Java.
He was able to charm those people he needed and knew just how to push their buttons so they'd deliver better work.
Contrary to what people thinks, assholes are not assholes 100% of the time; those people get their way by knowing when to be nice and charming. This is not antonymic with being an narcissistic asshole.
I'm fairly sure a lot of his collaborators had a honeymoon period with him, before he revealed himself to be the management equivalent of the abusive husband.
"Why are you are charging us so much for Wordpress/Magento/Etc ? I thought it was free?"
The fact that the initial barrier of entry of skills required to install and run a basic Wordpress install is so low make people think that all the other work required to get a website running, which has pretty much nothing to do with Wordpress or any particular technology as the article imply, is just as simple.
It's not that they didn't have the "security vulnerability" but they just weren't able to run Linux in a useful manner due to low hardware resources.
I also don't remember if the WRT54G became popular in the first place because of a security issue, I think it just enabled you to upload any firmware to it and that the original firmware eventually became open-source after they received GPL violation complaints. But my memory might be fuzzy, it was a while ago.
New Dev hired by the CEO without input from anyone else. She was not bad, but terribly sloooooooooooooooow. She indeed took 10x longer to do common tasks compared to other devs.
It's not that she wasn't smart or reticent to learn new things, just that her way of working through problems was incredibly long winded for some reason.
It's not something that you can easily re-train someone to fix, it's a fundamental problem and that combined with other issues made us let her go.
