Why do you consider GPL tools risky? I'm guessing you're using GNU utils constantly? :)

You are overlooking the tiny detail that selling derivatives that act like insurance was a multi-trillion dollar financial WMD that could have reduced the global economy to ashes, while there appear to be no victims materially affected in this case, and the people running this company are easy-to-jail small fry.

People were complaining more about too-big-to-jail. Had the bankers actually have been prosecuted, you might have a point.

What Keeps Couples Happy Long Term
I've mentioned this before, but Twitter is what you make of it—your experience is entirely dictated by who you choose to follow.

If you want to have a good experience on Twitter, here are my suggestions:

- Keep the number of people you follow under 1,000. I follow about 600. Any more than 1,000 and it starts to become information overload.

- Keep the quality of the people you follow exceptionally high. Look through their recent Tweets and see if they post content you're interested in before following.

- Unfollow accounts that add to the noise. Don't want to see every TechCrunch article? Unfollow them. One thing I've discovered is that individual journalists are much more interesting than following publications wholesale.
Oh wired, do you really think we care that much about reading your articles? Forbes did the same thing, and I just stopped reading forbes articles when they blocked me.

It's a tough spot to be in for all these companies - they need to make money and stay in business, but it's rare that any of them are important enough to the average user to turn off blocking. There are simply too many sites out there to choose from.
Mixins in Java
Hi,

A while ago I stumble in this github repo:

https://github.com/Mashashi/javaroles/

It claims it can provides runtime inheritance in Java. Even though it seems to be on a incubation stage I gave it a try and it worked.

I was thinking in forking it going to through the code do some analysis of my own and maybe use it on a client project.

Do you see advantages in using this kind of stuff or do you think this will only make the code harder to maintain and over complicated?

Thanks.

The refund option isn't fair for the publisher. When you visit a restaurant do you get a refund if you don't like the food? Or a theater? I don't need a refund, if I pay for a few articles and they prove to be crap I won't visit the medium again. Besides we're talking about cents here, it's not like you bought a Picasso only to realize after a couple of months that you don't really like it.

Much of Githubs success with FOSS where the API's, tools and simplicity of putting up new repos.

These days package managers such as Node's npm/bower, Sublime text packages, PHP's Composer rely on the accessibility of this central place for code access.

I'm worried that without a central place for FOSS code, the community of FOSS projects will fragment and some may become unaccessible when they are needed. Either by running out of hosting funds, getting hacked or becoming unmaintained.

Searching for FOSS projects will become more difficult and it would be harder to get any idea of how often the projects is updated or even how "popular" it is.
I run a gitolite[0] instance on my server. It's great so long as you have another way to deal with issues and love the terminal. Access control is a breeze.

I feel like Gitlab is heavy. Gogs is neat, but incomplete. If you don't need/want bloat, gitolite works well.

I never got it either, beyond spamming links and self promotion. To me it was like sitting in an IRC channel, where everyone was force to write in a shortened, convoluted way. Trying to engage message threads was infuriating. I do see a positive side to it, mentioned earlier. It's a decent way of broadcasting real time news, and I think Twitter should focus on that aspect.
Why is it a given that compiled languages will have less security vulnerabilities than dynamic? I've worked with C, Java, PHP and Python and all have their fare share of different issues.

Also, the author referring to reddit and HN as places that 'haters gather to hate' leaves a bitter taste.
If you put a static ad image hosted on your own server on the page, something like http://wired.com/img/jhfkfhfuhi34cn2.jpg, ad blocker will not be able to distinguish it from other images and won't block it.

There is also common banner dimensions that get blocked, but it is easy to defeat by adding a pixel somewhere that fits into site design.

Problem with this approach is that you can't just slap some random ad network script there and be done with it, no targeted ads, tracking etc - basically everything people don't like and a reason to use ad blockers.
Minor nit: the link doesn't once mention Oculus. Only on the FAQ page is that mentioned.

Software can be commercial and open source meaning you can read the code but you have to purchase a licence to make copies and/or use it - that's open source but not Free[-Gratis] Open Source Software (FOSS).

Google Analytics is used primarily for internal reporting and analysis. bscorecardresearch is part of ComScore, which is a third-party reporting company. Advertisers often require publishers to provide third-party reports for traffic so that they can validate the ad campaign numbers that the publisher reports. Chartbeat and others can provide supplemental reporting to a publisher if they think that there are gaps with what Google Analytics provides.
While in theory it's possible , it takes a lot of work to curate twitter for a high signal/noise level, if it's even possible.

Personally i find that if you care for higher snr, curating blogs and newsletters works better.

Besides that , twitter is sometimes nice for conversations. But not so much as to be worth the hassle of using it.

Tips from 6 agency owners to acquire quality clients
I can't defend any code quality (and I'm certainly not associated with the project, I merely host my own/private network)...but i suppose php was chosen as the stack for (hopefully) more universal adoption. Most low-cost/budget (old school) web hosting companies support php out of the box...and the intent is for folks to host their own network instead of hopping on others, etc.

How hard/easy is it to switch servers and retain @accountname references (i.e. your username)?

When faced with a big list of servers to choose between, my hesitation is that I'll pick one now and realize later that another one is better. For example, I may someday want to host GNU social myself, but if I do so will I essentially be starting over (even if I can retain my data, will my connections still retain a relationship to the new server?).

A nice little diagram and/or technical details page would be much appreciated :)
If you find that it's laggy on Firefox, make sure you are on at least 44.0.1 (latest stable at the time of the post). Strangely I don't see anything that would feasibly affect this in the 44.0.1 changelog, so maybe the browser restart fixed it.

It's about the first version, you just can't sit on your project forever and still use an old version of the engine when you finally go public. I see no harm in that clause.

Mh, I'd rather much prefer a system like Flattr (https://flattr.com/). I used to read Wired a lot, but I somehow had the feeling that there has been a significant decline in the quality of the articles (used to have a subscription), so these days I can't be bothered much.

That's why I'd love something like a "pay per like" system, which let's me support the quality content I enjoy and boost the people behind it.
But I guess it wouldn't really work out as most people are cheap and lazy - you'd need to sign up for a new service etc..

I agree and I think it is like with cars. I for one did basically everything from changing the tires to replacing the body of the car after a crash (I don't have a car anymore). For me it was part of the fun, tinkering with stuff, learning, etc.

Other people never touch anything in their cars and even pay for replacing the light bulbs. This obviously costs a lot of money if you let someone else do that for you. But you just have other priorities, that is ok.

This is exactly what Readability [1] was doing, really well - from a user's perspective - but they couldn't make the business model work. They got lots of paying readers on-board, but couldn't get publishers involved.

Maybe they were just s few years too early. As you say, now that publishers are slowly awakening from their slumber, they'll be more willing to give it a go.

For an enterprise, yes, analytics would certainly be more important; because you'd want to measure success of whatever...but those are goals more for a company.
If I only wish to share with, say, my family and a few important friends (without resorting to email blasts) the types of things folks normally share on a centralized social network, then analytics isn't important for me. I just basically need to host "the party" but don't care as much about measuring the success of "the party". My goals are not necessarily all the same as twitter/facebook, etc. ;-)

I'd assume it's to keep things easier, especially for a young company. It should be much easier to deal with publishers when you can agree on cost per view, rather than trying to work out some magic subscriptions share model, like the one used by spotify, which is pretty hard to do and keep everyone happy.

But that's just an educated guess :)

Do you understand that all paper money is generated by taking on debt?

What I can agree on is that there are different qualities of creditors - yet, the money they generate is traded equally.

Corporations have largely stopped taking on more debt. Usually lowered interest rates have helped here to stimulate growth by lowering the interest rate below the expected profits. But today corporations like Microsoft, Google and Apple, for example do not take on more debt. Instead, they hoard money.

Instead of stimulating growth by giving people more money e.g. through increasing the wages and forcing the companies to take on debt, we're doing it ass-backwards. The population goes into debt, student debt, credit card debt, consumption credit in addition to housing debt to prop up consumation. You are right. That method is not good and it stops working at some point.

You are wrong though, in that debt as such is what brought us into this situation. It is the wrong kind of debt growth which is being stimulated.

The government is already stepping in by taking on large sums of debt in order to keep the system running. How that will turn out is to be debated.
"More luck" in what sense? All enterprise companies will have plenty of obstacles thrown in the way of new suppliers. The most classic: if you are not on the suppliers' list, i cannot buy from you; and you cannot get on the suppliers' list unless I buy from you. Catch-22.

Joel Spolsky recommends to figure out the average limit for single-item purchases on corporate credit-cards, and stay under that. This may or may not work in your particular segment.

I think the idea isn't that every single person will host themselves. But you could have an account with a local provider, and the network will be a built-up federation of local providers linking together. In this way you individually don't have to manage your own instance, but everyone's data isn't centralized and owned by one corporate entity and you effectively limit your trust.

Given the way Facebook, et al, are evolving however, I think the market will make this question moot faster than we can answer it.

It's not even measurable: its the ratio of two numbers, neither of which is actually measurable.

OTOH, the cost to migrate can never be greater than the cost to rewrite from scratch, since rewriting from scratch is a method of migrating.

And I'm not sure this ratio is ever meaningful. I get that the idea is to have a simple, scale independent measure of the impact of technical debt, but the proposal here is neither objectively measurable nor meaningful, IMO, in that role.
I'm curious if any one remembers SlickEdit. Circa 2000 I had an internship and SlickEdit was the Sublime Text at that time.

SlickEdit for some reason went into complete obscurity though and I can't recall why. I'm not saying this will happen to Sublime (as I'm not even sure what happend to Slick) but I do wonder if it will as TextMate seems to be going down the path of long term obscurity.

It's never been easier to get into those as today, with multiple community driven starter kits and package managers available for both Vim and Emacs. Yet people don't seem to want to put in the effort.

I work hard on important projects. So does my wife.

We sit down and communicate about an hour, most every day.

For years, we asked each other these six questions, and listened to the response:

1. What's the worst thing that happened to you today?

2. What's the best thing that happened to you today?

3. What's the most surprising thing that happened to you today?

4. What's the most interesting thing that happened to you today?

5. What's the worst thing you did today?

6. What's the best thing you did today?
The widespread use of MD5 in AUR is because that is the default in makepkg, making it both AUR's and makepkg's "problem".

Of course it matters, they have different guarantees. A secure hash would at least guarantee that the file you get is the same one the packager got, MD5 doesn't. They are refusing to use strictly better alternatives out of pure stubbornness.
