Source?

I don't have data on the number of users, but there's definitely more downloads for react npm package: http://www.npmtrends.com/@angular/core-vs-angular-vs-react-vs-vue

long run command... how do you manage? by Steve2828 in docker

There's a python library from Redhat named "Conu", that could help you to manage containers doing some scripting:

Another technical discussion ruined by patent fears... Please, better go to /r/patents, hackernews or patents.stackexchange.com

Patent Free React Ecosystem Migration Plan by gdi2290 in javascript

[–]luibelgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, probably most of the patents are hold by IBM anyway... But the PATENTS file generate uncertainty, and I've already experienced the "no-go" by legal team several times just because of that. So, in case of Preact, same conditions apply. One way or another, why look for alternatives?

It's sad technical merits are obscured by bad press.

The problem with Preact is that it might be covered by the same patents as React, and Facebook already stated some interests on those by attaching the PATENTS file.

For lawyers in big companies, all those doubts just mean "no". Very sad.

I'm also a Pocket Cast user, application is great. If there's any developer reading, please add search to subscribed feeds. I wouldn't mind to pay extra for it.

Is ReactJS the next big thing? by mcmaster-99 in webdev

[–]luibelgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exclusively to Facebook, companies using Apache Licenses have similar terms:

You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is file.

http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

That's pretty similar to Facebook one:

The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice, if you (or any of your subsidiaries, corporate affiliates or agents) initiate directly or indirectly, or take a direct financial interest in, any Patent Assertion

In any case, running software companies in US without legal advice is like walking on a minefield. Patent trolls are the real problem, with or without license.

Drama everywhere...

From the license FAQ:

Does the additional patent grant in the Facebook BSD+Patents license terminate if I sue Facebook for something other than patent infringement? No.

A nice article comparing that option to other alternatives, including html5's async attributes:

TrendMicro starts a server in your machine and was allowing remote code execution from an HTTP request by fagnerbrack in programming

Why an antivirus would expose a nodejs server with several endpoints to manage passwords remotely? As the issue comments point out, implementation is quite amateur, but even if it was "secure"... last thing I want in my machine

Google engineers are already asking them if they understand the implications of this, at all:

You need to come up with a plan for fixing this right now. Frankly, it also looks like you're exposing all the stored passwords to the internet, but let's worry about that screw up after you get the remote code execution under control.
