bleeding edge

Linux.com: Fedora Linux is always pushing the bleeding edge, and has evolved into a versatile, flexible distro with something for everyone, for little old ladies with netbooks to students to powerhouse enterprises.

I got into a discussion on Twitter the other day where I mentioned that I don't like DI. Call it lack of sleep or language barrier (on my part), but I said DI — dependency injection — when I meant the dependency injection container.

Having said this, let me explain why I don't like it.

Despite not working for any of the larger PHP joints out there, I get to spend my time with pretty interesting stuff.

I wouldn't call it high traffic or big data, but being in the Top 100 websites, we're certainly not the average PHP application out there.

For a goodly amount of time, Gizmodo had been a tech news site in the “traditional” sense of the word.

It featured specs, photos, tear-downs and reviews of upcoming consumer electronics. It favored the big companies – Apple, Microsoft, Google, Motorola, etc.

– but it still had a lot of bleeding edge information about the tech world. To read it today, one would not recognize it.

Jamie's Random Musings: "Sometimes, though, it is possible to get a bit too far ahead of the general development/release cycle.

The HP Pavillion dm1-1020ez that I purchased in January is a case in point."

Linux Today Blog: "Another week, another round of tinkering and messing around with Linux doodads. The Ubuntu Koala text installer has a years-old bug, and Fedora 11 LiveCD has a showstopping installer bug.

Never a dull moment in computer-land!"

The PHP project has been making a major change lately - an upgrade of their version control system of choice from CVS to Subversion.

They started the move the other day and now, according to this new post on the PHP.net website, the process has been completed.

Open Source Weblog: "You might remember Bryan Lunduke from his extremely pointed "Linux Sucks -- Let's Fix It" presentation of a few months back.

Now he's aiming fighting words at Fedora over F11, and from that I've gleaned a few larger questions about what is the real role of any given Linux distribution."

Repasik: "The Chakra-Project is probably non-existent to many users due to it being a behind the scenes distro.

What makes the Chakra Project fascinating is that it is based on Arch, making it a bleeding edge rolling distro.

It is still currently under heavy development, and is planned to be a very friendly distro."

Imagine playing bleeding edge games, yet never again upgrading your hardware. That's the ambitious goal of OnLive's Internet delivered gaming service.
