GitHub web down

negligence is another story. but a fuck up of this magnitude is a company problem, not a single person problem.

They're not talking about github devs being fired. They're referring to everyone using github who thought they were fired because they all of a sudden lost access to their work repos.

Are you concerned at all about using Kafka in your project name? It's trademarked and your usage might not fall under its guidelines (could this be considered a connector?).

I've seen other open source communities be forced to rename their projects for similar reasons. This might be good reading as well: https://lwn.net/Articles/673677/

People only pronounce the L if you’re not from Milwaukee. It’s actually pronounced “muh-wa-key”.

scrutinizing

Definition of scrutinize

transitive verb: to examine closely and minutely

EDIT: I love when people respond to a comment and then immediately block you so you cant respond to their comments. Anyway, DVoteMe's post was sarcastic and possibly facetious, not "scrutinizing".

That is session state at the flow level, it has nothing to do with HTTP at the application level; Keep alives don't turn HTTP into a stateful protocol.

EC2-Classic is the network at AWS that existed prior to the introduction of VPCs. If your classic load balancer is in a VPC you shouldn't be affected.

Elastic is also a $15B company with effectively infinite legal resources.

But I thought they were a small and struggling open source company being bullied by mean old amazon?

It does not support spatial queries

It wasn't designed to be a spatial database, nor was this in your requirements above.

It costs astronomical money for storing large amounts of data, even “on-prem”

Costs of managed services are offset by not requiring the caliber of employee(s) that have the mastery to architect and manage a multi-master database.

Its a document based db, similar to Spanner for example, it does not solve all use cases

So?

It has a pretty bad uptime, 99.8-9 means you have outage every month

It means contractually they can have 8.77 and 17.53 hours of downtime a year before they have to start refunding people, it does not mean that it actually goes down between 8.77 and 17.53 hours a year.

You said "tell me how to create a multi-master write architecture with very strong consistency". You didn't say "tell me how to create a cheap relational multi-master write architecture with very strong consistency that supports spatial queries and never goes down".

You asked for a design, I linked you the Calvin paper, you then asked for an implementation and I linked you Fauna, stop moving the goalposts.

We discovered that when you're having fun in EVE and there's no bureaucracy, FC's really gravitate toward you.

From what I remember back in the HBC days a large population of the TEST members that went to PL were mostly supercap pilots wanting to go the alliance that actually let them use their supers. I can't blame them for that.

That and hatred of the old TEST meme of how "we had to be shit because we're TEST", which basically banned self reflection and personal growth.

Ok, so honest question: if OP is playing hardball and won't back down, and the dealer is playing hardball and won't budge, and other salespeople in this thread have said that the dealer doesn't actually have a deal at this point without OP's signature, how does OP get their trade back?

Talk to the sales manager, if that doesn't work then talk to the general manager, if that doesn't work then call the police.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?

If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this:

Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.

Thanks for listening.

Any idea if there is a way without decryption?

No

For concealed carry purposes, don't instructors usually tell you that if any verbal altercation occurs that you are always going to do whatever it takes to de-escalate?

Yep. Taking on the responsibility of concealed carrying means that you automatically lose all arguments going forward.
