If I contribute code to an open source project under the BSD 2-Clause license and don't sign any contributor license agreement, can the maintainer relicense the code without getting my permission?

Great article! Very interesting to find out how something I use every day works. Your post is easy to follow and understand, excellent work!

I see it didn't gain any traction, you should try submitting it again later.

It's Google AdSense with Auto ads (In-page ads, Matched content, Anchor, Ad load: max). I reduced the Ad load to min just now.

I am getting feedback that I should not be using the terms CPU usage and utilization when talking about load averages. I will update the post later.

Investing for Geeks 10 years ago

I am in the EU and I am investing my money in peer-to-peer lending.

You lend your money to other people through the marketplace and they pay it back with interest. The ROI is about 10% to 15% per year. I think it is low risk since you can choose the type of the loans you want to invest in (loans secured by real estate or short term loans with buy back guarantees). You can also diversify since the minimum investment is €10.

I don't think you can invest hundreds of thousands or millions of euros (the market is not so big) but the market can definitely support tens of thousands of euros.

Do you have one? What's your experience with it?

I got a regular Dell XPS 15 (but the keyboard and everything else I think is the same) and while the laptop looks great I was expecting better quality for this price range.

My review was on Hacker News recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12289479

Data from https://mapzen.com/data/metro-extracts/metro/brooklyn_new-yo...

I followed my instructions in the post (except I had to use encoding='iso-8859-1' instead of utf-8)

I cropped the map a little.

You can also go to http://geojson.io and load the generated file for more interactivity (select, delete, add your own polygons, etc.) or open it in QGIS.

In the Results section I had a screenshot of the generated polygons in both QGIS and geojson.io (polygons are separated by thick black lines and their area is colored gray).

Since I changed the default SSH port of 22 to something else (like 4422), I no longer get any of these drive-by attacks and don't need fail2ban anymore.

I also like to set up a simple Monit configuration to alert me about high cpu usage or when the disk space is about to run out. Instead of emailing me these alerts (and also weekly reports) I've configured Monit to post them to my Slack team of 1.

You can create user groups or G+ style circles on FB. For instance, I've got posts that only my friends see, most of them are also visible to my parents and very few are visible to acquaintances.

Add the representative of the bank to one of the limited visibility groups.

Not sure how that works when FB API is used.
