Probably, but I've read Gruber's piece twice and I couldn't help but feel as if the talk was held by a bunch of young geeks coming from a Kickstarter project.
Maybe that's an Apple's new approach at PR but it sounds like they tried to downplay the impact of bad management that ultimately led to a failure that must have cost them millions.
Re:Redis as a JSON store
on Wednesday March 22, 2017 @05:25AM (#13929528)
This is a welcome addition. I expected JSON to become a first class citizens in REDISland for quite some time.
In fact, REDIS has always been my goto store for JSON data.
In 2013 I created a microservice[0] for accessing JSON data stored in native REDIS lists[1] via HTTP(S).

Re:JEP 286: Local-Variable Type Inference
on Friday March 11, 2016 @03:19AM (#11265396)
according to Spring's documentation[1]:
@Autowired is fundamentally about type-driven injection
If you replace:
@Autowired
FooDao fooDao;
@Autowired
var fooDao;

Re:Why Twitter has run into trouble
on Tuesday February 09, 2016 @09:50AM (#11065612)
I think Twitter is in a different position because Yahoo! has never build a bi-directional connection between producers and consumers.
Obviously, that's not limited to media and ads companies. Any kind of industry is investing in PR.
I believe Twitter could succeed as a PR company but will probably fail as a tech company.
Re:Why Twitter has run into trouble

To my knowledge, Yahoo! has always been led by some tech geek from the Valley, too.

They needed to really hire non SF based techno geeks and advisors
Twitter should be led by someone who is strong in PR. PR is where Twitter has excelled most. I believe neither Jack Dorsey nor Dick Costolo are even known outside of the tech industry, how can they manage a PR product if people barely knows them? Even Scooble would be a better fit than Jack Dorsey. If I were Twitter I'd put in charge some well known public figure with connections in the media and movies industries.

I have an account that is only for private repos and I don't want that account to appear on search engines for my real name.
I also have a public account that I use for contributing to public projects so it could also help to avoid duplicate accounts in search results.
All accounts should be searchable for username/real name with GitHub's search anyway.

I can't believe that's [1] the best low-light picture they could find for their flagship mobile OS preview page.
It doesn't even add anything to the story:
Night Shift uses your iOS device’s clock and geolocation to determine when it’s sunset in your location. Then it automatically shifts the colors in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum, making it easier on your eyes.
Re:How to crawl a quarter billion webpages in 40 hours (2012)
on Friday January 08, 2016 @03:35PM (#10868003)
I believe the Internet Archive is much less clear in this regard than public search engines. IA doesn't even have a clear takedown policy and no webmaster tools in place to give owners control on the archived content.
Their crowler does obey to robots.txt rules but if you want content to be removed permanently you have to ask politely by email and in my experience they simply block the site urls from being searched but they don't make clear at all if content was actually removed from their servers.

The HDR effect on those images is gross. Also, the white balance looks way off (blueish) to my eyes.
I'd say that the overall image quality is not very good with reflections and poor resolution that severely limit the view of details.
Such a pity given the value of the assets on display and the incredible opportunity of accessing them with this tool.

Cloudfuse [1] allows you to mount remote OpenStack Storage.
You'll need to tweak with the ~/.cloudfuse config file. I haven't tested it though.

Seems to be based on OpenStack [1] Storage [2].
That means any client that supports OpenStack (and Rackspace Cloud Files [3], for that matter) like Cyberduck [4] and a lot more should already be compatible with hubiC.

I double that. It's slow, clunky and unnecessarily heavy. That's why most of my contacts have already switched to other platforms.

Re:The Real Reason Italy Sucks at the Startup Game

the banking system of the eurozone (continental europe) is very conservative and not keen on risk. there's nothing that resemble venture capitalism in the old continent (with the notable exception of the UK which is a member of the Commonwealth). I think that the european system is more secure for private wealth (I assumed that having seen what happened to some banks in the US in 2008) but it's showing its weakness these days because it's putting entire countries on their knees.

antirez is not new to this. he created one of the first Digg/Reddit inspired news site in Italy back in 2005 or 2006. I beleive that was originally built in PHP/MySql and recently ported to Redis as the main database. The entire project was aquired by one of the largest italian internet companies around 2006 or 2007 and it's now hosted at http://oknotizie.virgilio.com
As far as I know, that project was never made open source. You can find other early projects from antirez here http://merzia.com/
