I knew I couldn't say it in print, thanks for confirming. Am Canadian, btw.

I also refused and replied to the email saying so and they enabled the account. This was a few months ago.

I can't not comment on this as well. Canada a realitively young country? I know they say don't be snarky, but what an arrogant, ignorant, very American thing to say. People have been building "infrastructure" everywhere in Canada for hundreds of years, just as they have in big brother USA.

Good advice. Far better than the Red Hat branded info presented here. Personally, I prefer to push rather than pull, and I also use mitogen as the ssh strategy. It's incredible how much one line in requirements.in and another in ansible.cfg can speed things up.

IMO, you get NPM when you get venture capital pouring money at script kiddies and tech evangelists. No worries, it will all burn down eventually.

I use and contribute to open source, and I know I can't compete with Amazon in terms of operational excellence, and that operations is where the value lies in this unregulated cluster-fuck of douchebaggery that is the modern software world. I'm already very aware, Tim, that if I make something useful, and I open source it and try to make a business out of it, some asshole like you will come along and deploy it at scale and market the hell out of it and tell me I'm cute for even trying, and that you just might throw an Amazon job my way if I'm lucky. This kind of arrogance makes me think twice about contributing to open source, and it makes me hope your arrogance runs up against something intractable, and soon.

Are your first and third scenarios mutually exclusive?

I guess privilege isn't about race after all, power too easily becomes abuse, and bullies always meet their match.

I noticed the use of jQWidgets and I wondered what people had to say about that.
