This happened in Germany. Believe me that no executive wants to fight with Bernd Osterloh and there isn't a single engineer who doesn't now how to fight back with the labour union as a backup.

For authentication and vCards we're using a custom LDAP backend. And XEP-0313 Message Archive Management didn't exist when we had to implement a custom solution, especially on behalf of german archive law §146AO and §239HGB. We did put a lot individual developement in a solution I can't economically justify burying now.

The original got captured by my filters.

I have some huge MongooseIM Nodes in production, unfortunatly RIAK is not an Option for us.

Sorry, forgot to change effective to efficient.

It's not "game-changing" nor "interesting", because it's "been done before" and "won't be effective". Sorry, had to be done, because tit's the truth.

Still doesn't compile with default LUA due to broken Headers within the include path. They probably just forgot it again, but it's still bad practice and low standard for a very common tool like nmap.

I don't know if you're beeing sarcastic or not. If so, excuse me please. Anyway you are probably right. I am still not sure about that phrasing. What I wanted to refer to, is that the Stuff you get teached at MIT still isn't any harder or easier than the stuff you can read or maybe already have read in books anyway. When I started college my profs where constantly referring to Tanenbaum, Dijkstra and co. Texts I have read and understood 5 years before I finished school.

Yeah for sure... I attended a school for gifted kids. Those who where a lot younger than the rest of us where always pushed by their parents and their parents always told they where not pushing.

And that is a first hand experience watching 42 gifted smart young children pushed in our education system and over their interessents on behalf of their parents. I attended this school for 6 years.

It was a pain, and as if school wasn't boring enough ( school is mandatory where I live ) you had to consider every word you wanted to say as a 16/17/18 year old when there where 9/10/11 year old depressed and ADHDish, but extremely smart kids around you the whole time.

In the end I am a hundred percent sure every kid can study MIT classes at every age. Most of the stuff is rational trivia. Also beeing gifted has nothing to do with your grades or your ability to follow classes or lectures. Because that's something your parents could've pushed on you, but for sure you are allowed to be happy that they didn't.

Which will result in going back to good ol' pirating. Again.

We don't, but a lot of people won't resist when one is being pushed on them. The facebook app just has to force enough "Install now!" Banners in their customers(/"products") daily view.

Am I the only one looking at a blank page?

Fortunaly that is not an issue for since Amazon Instant Video isn't a viable option for content in my country.

He forgot Kodi, the non-plus ultra in terms of streaming software. It wins every streaming device comparison just by not depending on closed hardware and beeing open source while supporting everything. Lacking an app? ( Not really, if you are missing an app in Kodi you'll miss it probably everywhere ) Sit back 2 hours and hack 100 lines in python to build it.

Also why is he recommending the fire tv stick and apple tv? The last time I took a look they weren't able to play AC3 and apple was still apple.

Edit: I just read that huge wall of... text and can't recommend anyone to read it aswell. Most of it is superficial and extremely biased in favor of apple tv. Some facts are just plain wrong. Why is h264/aac vimeo excluded from chromecast compatibility? Considering the _streaming quality_ doesn't even make sense from a technical point of view. 10,000 words and little to no value or facts. I am literally amazed how little facts, specs and test methods are this essay which should be called "Let me tell you about my favorite streaming device and drop some names of others".

Disclosure: Developing my own Media Center on Top of Plex is my part time hobby, which consists mainly of writing plugins that run on a broad variety of clients ( CC, Roku, Fire TV, Xbox 360, PS4, Kodi, Android and so on) for my personal niche media sources.

I'd place Roku as #1 and take the Chromecast out of the comparison. Apples and oranges. I wouldn't consider Fire TV and Apple TV as an option unless you are already up to the neck in their system.

It's not the website providers business what I do with the bits reaching my network. I choose to display and render what I want, and they choose to deliver what they want. It's not complicated. That is the most fundamental principle of information technology. One decides what to send, another one decides what to receive.

If a company dies because of adblockers, let the company die. That's economy.

That made my day. I got Anxiety Attacks reading that article and some of the comments here. A shitty codebase with a kinda useless API on top of the cockroach of databases. Et voilà, the perfect platform to make the web a little bit less stable, less performant and contributing to the increasing trend of low quality code.

Yes, as well as PGP or S/MIME. It just depends or your relay configuration. We've implemented it switch able. We've customers that are bouncing non PGP encrypted E-Mails.

> I wonder why they can't see the obvious wrongdoing by our leadership and how it erodes our values.

I can't keep up self-satisfaction when I've to admit that I am lacking deeper understanding of my environment. The simplest solution to that problem would be that I tell myself with as much other people as possible that understanding my environment isn't that important, because we've managed life until here without it. We declare ourself as normal and defame everyone not belonging to our social bubble. Maybe we even declare the minority of people that get whats going on as an undesirable to be in group. But you've to remember that those processes are normal and healthy. People getting sucked up in reality tend to depression.

It is always a horrible decision and often driven by an incompetent management not to go native. If I'd ask my aces to use react, I am pretty sure at least one would puke over the desk, another one would jump out of the fifth floor and the rest would simply decline and start question my competencies. (I know you'd puke Felix!)

On the other hand we're earning a lot due to all the unnecessary and wasted resources we have to sell to meet performance expectations of our customers ( and those guys happily buy it ) you could reach with 1/1000 probably 1/100000 of the MIPs by utilizing native C.

Utilizing react is not even programming or engineering. That's assembling. rant off

When avoiding US Services it's not about the whole company. At least 4 DAX companies research departments I know about enforce GPG Crypted mail transport since Snowden. Everything else bounces. The same companies asked us to exclude the US and the UK out of sensible data routes. I know that's not gonna do it, and there's a lot more to do but... I know that you know why I can't go into further details.

Best answer so far. Print mode is also not bad.

Let's chat, Zulip, Kaiwa, Mattermost there are probably a hundred more.

Depending on the Scale, I'd personally go with an own Kaiwa Fork, backed by an Erlang MongooseIM Backend and LDAP.

Actually, the SDK is pretty easy to use. I wanted to directly fetch the streams of a major movie site and without visiting their site at all. Implementing a session rejoin when the casted device switched (E.g. android, windows or linux) was done in about 5 Minutes, in overall it just took about 1 hour to completely write a webapp from scratch for a video site who's user experience otherwise would not allow me to endure searching for videos and requiring to jump through a bunch of hoops to cast an HR movie directly.

An experienced programmer should be able to do this even faster, since I am a sales guy. Don't let the bunch of documentation overflow you, most of it is trivia.

I'd throw away my chromecasts immediately. It's hard enough to maintain filter rules to not let this little guy phone home too much.

Working at real scale, I'd choose some cages in a datacenter I can walk in and place offices at over AWS anytime.

Btw you'd cry if I were allowed call out some companies that still run lotus notes.

Still no AC3/DTS passthrough is a huge disappointment for a 2015 reskin.

That's probably not true[0]. In my experience you would often endure belittling or sheep calls, even bullying, if you walk into the office with a MacBook or an Iphone. We've customers where it's not even allowed to store corporate secrets on non-linux os. But that are highly professional financial or insurance dev corporations.

It's very common for a dco to accept physically shipped storage. There are a lot cases, where it is either cheaper, or securer to hand deliver data when it is not possible due to peering issues to establish a non MitM-able connection.

With 10 bit colour support?

I am very interested in these forms and would be grateful if someone could provide a link to them. If they're watertight, we could probably reduce some overhead with them. Although I dislike the idea of using an employee as an "responsibility-shield" for failing government agencies.

That is of course possibe. I highly think that most companies fall for it. If you speak with someone of a state agency, you always feel like they are used to get it. Some of them are actually surprised and openly disappointed when you refuse to hand over.

What wonders me the most is, that most of the time they won't go down the legal way. Instead they just seem to do their job without the data as well afterwards. So what was the point in requesting the data in the beginning?
