I think the real reason is simply that corruption by multinationals allows them to get far better deal than they should :

"Many of the mining companies pay just 0.6 percent royalties to Zambia, far below the already-meager industry standard of three percent."

Dffcf-123. ,l,km

I'm kind of sad of this move. I fear that this will only hurt ServiceStack adoption given that all MS frameworks are Open Source and it is already difficult to move .NET developpers outside the Microsoft confort zone.

I was able to move most of our WCF services to ServiceStack but I would never have been able to do it with this kind of license.

Anyhow I hope him well, ServiceStack is really awesome and mythz definitely deserve to make a living from it.

Thanks for the informed comment.

So OK penalty clauses are really abusives but what about simply granting oneself favorable terms (like guaranteed interest rates, free services, etc.) ?

Yes but with Personna you don't need to send them a password reset link because they have no password in your system :)

Great plan !

Anybody knows if making docker run natively on Windows is possible ? (is there any sort of LXC like feature in Windows ?)

But the bank as a company should be expected to know what it signs and so should not be protected from abusive clauses.

I am using mRemoteNG (http://www.mremoteng.org/).

What's great is that in one tabbed interface I can do VNC / RDP and SSH connections.

Do you have any recommendation for documentation then ?

In my experience wikis are far from perfect and need regular gardening BUT they are vastly better than a shared folder or a sharepoint with a ton of word documents...

Microsoft is standardising its Web stack on the .NET equivalent of Rack : OWIN. An open specification for web applications.

Hoping to see more and more innovation in this space from the open source community (like ServiceStack, Nancy and others)

> Another key word would be "seized", is copying considered seizing? Seizing is legally defined as the removal of property, one might argue that no seizure was ever made during this wiretapping.

This reminds me of the copyright talks but obviously when it's citizens doing it, copying is stealing but when it's NSA, copying is not an issue because it does not remove anything ...

It's 50c by transfer (payed by the sender).

Particularly interesting is the possibility of using a SSD as a cache for a HDD just like the Fusion Drive in the recent iMacs (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux....)

Reviews were quite positive of Apple implementation. Has anybody tried the linux version ?

It was introduced during the Microsoft Techdays'13 in Paris two weeks ago. Its nice to see Microsoft playing nicely with the standards body and the other browsers.

Their proposed API looks like a step forward from the iOS touchevent proposal.

Thanks !

Nice that they are contributing the code to the apache fundation ! Could be a good Free self hosted alternative to github:enterprise or others

For front end dev, is there a reason to prefer this over requirejs ?

This mean that VLC could be back on the AppStore.

I am especially interested in the Native Veneers approach. Is this easy to do with PhoneGap or other similar tools ?

Yes unchecked exceptions are nice. However it would be nice if the compiler could enforce documentation of possible exceptions raised by a method. Something like the throws keyword of Java with unchecked exceptions.

That way you (through the IDE) could know at any point of your code what exceptions could happen (and not have to guess or go through all the called code to identify them).

In my opinion its because your commit log should read like a novel and not like a history book.

It's also simpler and promotes less convoluted phrasing.

There was this nice piece by the NYT about the history and traditions of comma placement recently. Interesting read.

With all the bashing around them stagnating in search, it's nice to see that they are continuously improving even if it's more incremental than revolutionnary.

I particularily like the indexing of symbols, it will make searching for C# results easier.

Nice example of how lua scripting will improve the usability of Redis !

A nitpick, the described queue is First In First Out (which is the natural ordering for a queue).

Please keep us posted if you make progress on the C# front. I also like quite a bit ST2 but I don't think it could replace VS for now

Unfortunately in some (most ?) big enterprise we are still stuck with Windows XP (so 3.5gigs of RAM) and shitty hard drive that are further killed by the antivirus :(

see my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3134741). They are still available online here http://jordanmechner.com/old-journals/

They are still available here (http://jordanmechner.com/old-journals/) but they are not linked in the post :)

Thanks :) I should have done this myself.

In France, most carrier subsidized phones are locked to the carrier.

However they must unlock it for free after 6 months.
