npm must return the kik project to Azer now!

I came here for this. In fact, that fiasco is the only reason I recognize Kik the company.

The final example in the article is broken. Python interpreter as PID 1 can't handle linux signals.

This is why I have a caveat at the top of the article as well as right after the last example. This particular issue is fixable with `docker run --init`, so not strictly necessary to fix in images.

It can if you install the appropriate signal handlers, which, if you don't fork, is quite easy. While for a real-world app you're probably right, the article's example is not fleshed out sufficiently to tell one way or another.

So now you can't disable their "analytics".

Software engineers are new blue collar class.

What about mass surveillance and gag orders, are they gonna be handled in an ethical way?

Oh, their keyboards met "high standards" then?

Is it sending data to Chinese servers?

No. That was one particular model (the 7) that accidentally got Chinese-market software loaded onto all the phones, not just the ones required by law to have it. A software update corrected the issue since.

Your caution is warranted and laudable. In terms of traffic, this is not a stop sign, but a proceed cautiously sign.

Everything is great in this post except ksql license.

The Confluent Community License?

No RAM spec provided, also is it possible to connect an external display?

It's one of the core features and they have monitor and keyboard kits for preorder already.
