Re:Apache Spark building on Scala 2.12 on Thursday August 02, 2018 @07:30PM (#17676305)
This was a long and major effort, awesome to see it completed. I believe the underlying issue holding Flink back from 2.12 support was also the ClosureCleaner taken from Spark[0].

Re:EMI-based Compiler Testing on Saturday July 09, 2016 @09:50PM (#12064205)
A slightly more approachable introduction to EMI-based testing: http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1161 (Found while googling around for the actual Orion tool mentioned in the EMI papers.)

Very neat ideas. As the regehr.org article points out, it's particularly impressive that 110 of the 147 found compiler bugs were actually fixed.

Re:Gephi 0.9 announced, coming this December on Monday November 02, 2015 @06:30AM (#10491274)
This is exciting! Fixes to Java and Mac OS X compatibility will probably let me drop Java 6 from my machine. And the new Gephi core comes with timestamp support, new GEXF, multi-graphs, and (eventually) a new Toolkit!

It's been a long wait, but December 20th will be an early Christmas.

Re:Ubiquiti Networks is creatively violating the GPL on Monday April 06, 2015 @10:25PM (#9331695)
I contacted [email protected] and [email protected] about the issue and received a quick reply:

Unfortunately we no longer offer support for our SDK, and I'm not able to divulge in the specific differences between airOS and openwrt. Also, we don't share u-boot GPL source. We used to in the past but not any more. This decision was taken keeping the security of the users in mind. I hope you understand.

However, you can find the GPL archive for our devices from here:

(Please refer the "GNU General Public License link" under the Firmware and Software section from the above link page provided).

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Thanks!
