Those systems still save businesses tons of money and make a lot of money for the companies integrating them.

FreePBX (built on Asterisk, which is the basis for another dozen PBX platforms) is still far-and-away the most popular PBX platform for small businesses and most VARs. FreeSWITCH does exist and it is fantastic, but the two are quite similar in terms of what they can accomplish.

There is really no other option in the FOSS community for small-to-medium phone systems, as Asterisk-based systems are rivaled mainly by 3CX (proprietary) in the industry which is somewhat expensive and significantly less-configurable than the open source options.

You would need to pay Muzak or SiriusXM or another vetted provider of public music. Businesses (bars, hair salons, gyms, etc) cannot simply play Spotify or Pandora in their business, unless they plan on getting sued by BMI and/or ASCAP.

Muzak and SiriusXM have ready-made solutions for exactly what these sorts of businesses are looking for.

Is this not what Redis was designed for? In this situation, I would value Redis over memcached just based on its performance values and the cheapness of RAM in the cloud right now.

This breaks frequently, and provides no error handling.

I do believe that ATL (Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport) is the busiest airport in the world, and has been so for quite some time. Dubai, indeed, is not.

I like this response.

Wow a job posting from a company that's been around for more than 8 years! (It was founded in 1876 in the form of the National League.)

This was an incredible run-on sentence.

I'll answer this, even though I think it's just karma-bait.

My best passive income is a piece of software I made in one week that processed payments for school events (field trips, clubs, etc). I've made over $120,000 in two years with it.

Considering the usual lack-of-concern of the version of PHP the user is installing/being provided, I could see a significant amount of compatibility problems if PHP came out with a version where weird functions (like strlen() vs str_replace(), how would you resolve the difference in convention here?) were fixed.

This will probably attract trolls.

This does not sound like a very exciting feature. I understand its use and necessity, but it doens't sound that exciting for a language that is being accused of being "in the past."

Disclaimer: I currently do and have used for some time PHP at my job.

Thank you for posting this, so the lawsuit-happy folks of HN will realize they, once again, have no legal leg to stand on.

I generally stay away from companies that advertise their jobs using titles like "JavaScript Junkie," "CSS Craftsman," "UI/UX Ubermensch," "Crypto Crack," and "DevOps Demigod."

Really?

However, for the vast majority of users, who cares? The service is useful at a usually-fair price. If it works, use it.

Makes me wonder why smaller website teams need dozens of engineers to keep their infinitesimally smaller app running.

This is fake.

I get the modal when the window opens but not when the tab closes.

Doesn't Docker make it very clear that they do not intend for Docker to be used in production right now? Something to this effect: "Please note that Docker is currently under heavy development. It should not be used in production (yet)."

Your LEDs use 20W of power? I would immediately scrap those - they serve no real purpose and use an insane amount of power, compared to their computing counterparts.

Georgia Tech student here. Can confirm how good that pizza place is.

"They" is plurals. It doesn't make sense to replace all he's and she's with they.

Are you a good enough journalist/editor/writer to make the evaluation that the article's title is not appropriate for the content of said article?

I feel like this is the definition of "having too much money."

I will soon make a post: "Why I don't care that you won't change your Google+ Custom URL."

You are exactly the exception I discussed - the world-class developer.

Did you even read the post?

This really isn't an API, it's more of a résumé that happens to be in JSON.

Not too many pieces of software out there that can say their software is so well-documented, it almost takes up 3000 pages.
