A single individual should not be able to override a set of core committees in a public open source project. Fork WP, and cut Mullenweg out of the loop.

Teams have been building services like this for ~20 years. They very rarely stick. I agree that it’s still too hard, but the market has historically been too small. It’s at-best a hobby side project for a larger company that can afford to b

Unless I personally gave you my work email address, you can f*k right the hell off. Buying a list of email addresses off the internet that has mine in it is top-tier shady.

1. If you have $800 to spend on an emotional support robot — OR you’re dumb enough to spend $800 on an emotional support robot, I don’t see this as a big loss. 2. Never spend money on multiplayer-only video games. Never buy a robot that is

People hate Windows, but won’t stop using it. Everyone gets to make their own decisions, I suppose, but let’s all tell the truth about what’s happening here.

I used to own an API service at work, where we worked hard to ensure that the documentation was of a very high quality. When I got promoted and moved to a new team, I'd warned my manager NOT to hand it over to one team that was remarka

I disagree with most of these posters. I am a person on GitHub. I don’t become a different person once the work day starts. I’ve done plenty of OSS as an employee of companies, and I’ve done more OSS work as an individual. Although you _can

I play instruments, read books, and have an iPad. It reminded me of the old magazine clipping of a guy holding a camcorder over his shoulder and pointing to a table full of technology. "All of this fits in your pocket now." Same t

I’m not going to answer the question as-asked because its core premise is flawed. Instead of looking to disable 2FA, look to speed-up providing 2FA codes. Most passwords managers support auto-filling 2FA codes. Yes, some are still super-old

This is what Google’s and Apple’s (and Nintendo’s, and Microsoft’s, and Sony’s) cut covers. They built the platform, the system, provide straightforward billing, provide the “shopping mall” that draws eyeballs, etc. It’s not just paymen

As an aside, can you explain to me why Cloud9 has never worked correctly in Safari? The cursor positioning in text has been messed up for as long as I can remember. AWS has never fixed it, despite having owned it for over a decade. I worked

Same here. I think what I realized is that coding is not a thing . Rather, it is a tool which enables you to do other things . About 13 years in, I pivoted in two interesting ways. 1. I started looking far more at the backend, infrastruct

I’m a dual citizen of Canada and the US. But I also know that if there’s a language selector, and I see the British flag, I know it’s gonna get me English. Perfection is impossible when human beings are involved. Please stop manufacturing r

False equivalence. A better example would be having the confederate flag. Except that the confederacy being dissolved is already a decided issue at the national level. (Also most Americans are only familiar with the confederate army flag, a

For this specific article, it’s 100% speculation. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but rather there is no evidence to support it. Ars Technica is also reporting on this topic this morning, and they are also missing evidence-backed sources. It’

Idiots. Idiots everywhere. Serverless is great for event handling and bursty workloads. It is not efficient for a long running or constantly running processes. That was never what it was designed for. There is a time and a place for serverl

In other words, “we’ve learned nothing”. As a principal engineer who left the Bay Area in 2010, this post obviously excludes me. If I have my choice, I’ll never go back to the office.

One word: support. Support does not mean “it works“. Support refers to who is on the hook when something goes wrong. If the company is not prepared to support Linux, there is your problem.
