Alex public memcached development at Facebook seems to stopped for the last ~2 years. Is it really the case or still improving but not making it public? Also can we expect management tools for memcached in the future from Facebook?
Facebook's version of memcached has diverged significantly from the public version, to the point where pushing it upstream is at the very least unproductive and likely disruptive. It is our intention to eventually open source the entire stack, but as it's still very much in active development it's relatively low priority at the moment (note that this is the conservative viewpoint, people with significantly more seniority than myself want to see it released sooner rather than later, and no one above them disagrees).
Hi Leej, the early adopter is considered full payment for Construct 2. There are many more releases to come! We like to release often with small increments rather than big monthly ones. See http://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases for our release history.
Think of it this way, we have Construct 2 and we are selling licenses for it. Because Construct 2 is in Beta we are rewarding people who buy it now as early adopters by giving them a significant discount. Once you buy a license you have a fully licensed copy of Construct 2.
Any new builds of Construct 2 are compatible with your license. You would only need to pay when we release Construct 3 which is far, far off in the future :) We release new builds all the time.
Do StartSSL issued free 1-domain certificates valid for all major desktop and mobile browsers? Can anyone confirm this? Most cert providers claim almost always 99% and above comptability but they dont claim any percent value on their website.
99 percent of what? Browsers ever made? Visitors to your site?
I read that Microsoft added the StartCom CA to Windows in 2009. So I would assume that people browsing the web with ancient, unpatched versions of IE will have problems. How big a deal that is probably depends on your site.
i dont get why do they still stick with agpl. there are a lot more _companies_ built on products with licenses other than agpl, such as, wildly popular apache projects. even microsoft releasing code with apache license but not mongodb guys!
There are successful companies built around all sorts of licensing schemes, but that doesn't mean that you are in a position to say what's best for 10gen's specific situation.
Also, all of the official client libraries for mongo are Apache licensed, it's only the core server that is AGPL (which means that you can use mongo in closed source applications - only if you make changes to the actual core database do you have to give those changes back to the community, and even then you still don't have to open source the rest of your application).
you're in no position to tell me what i say! it's simply awkard to use a license like that. also you, yourself, admitted the conflict of client vs server licensing. why this is so? because they want widest usage. they release open source software not because they love developers but because they have to. returning to the point apache or gpl projects have strong commercial backing from big companies to start-ups and knowing this i'm asking there must be a real reason why they did choose agpl over gpl or apache. btw, it's their choice i respect that as well.
* there are alternatives but the backers give this project one up. * web site needs a significant overhaul. * this was a commercial product, if i am not mistaken, and just recently opened up. * is this forked off memcached or just another NoSQL with memcached compatibility is still a mystery.
It's not a fork. We've done a lot of work on memcached to allow it to support multiple backends on the same network interface. Part of membase is a new memcached backend.
