To quote the memorable Ted Dziuba[0]: "Here's a concrete example: suppose you have millions of web pages that you want to download and save to disk for later processing. How do you do it? Th…

Oh yes, there is not enough about it. Maybe women have note been part of the military for long enough, or maybe its because they censor themselves more than men, and would never admit to enjoy fightin…

Great idea. Terrible moderator (watch the video). I hope there'll be some lovecraftian mixologist contraption to up the ante a little.

Yeah, the onboard computer is a joke. In Stuttgart they have electric Smarts, and those are much more fun than the convential ones. Like auto scooter or something.

Ha, interesting. I wonder what the rate of cross-pollination is - the BSDs should, due to their license, easily be able to use code from the other BSD variants, right? So how come that FreeBSDs pf is …

When Amazon Japan used goats as lawnmowers [1], proper procedure had to be maintained: "The company has officially hired the goats following a procedure similar to the one used when hiring humans…

True, we have seen this issue with fraudulent domain names, where they can pose a security issue. To me it seems normalisation at least reduces the attack surface, while not solving the issue complet…

One could argue that he did, indirectly. Freedom of speech means exactly that - the freedom to say whatever you want, within the margins allowed by the law, regardless of how it could be perceived by …

I get the problem, but don't you need canonical equivalence to make sure you don't allow files with filenames that look the same but which happen to have a different unicode byte sequence? O…

I remember back when Protobuf and Thrift were new, there were discussions about them re-inventing the ASN.1 wheel. I'd love to hear opinions of people who have used them, and the experience they …

This is important, the opposite of being an asshole is not being nice. Not that the text seemed to imply this, but this is forgotten all too often. I'll take a swearing, passionate Linus any da…

Slightly off topic, and sorry if it seems obvious, but his coding workflow looks really neat. He must be using a Chrome extension to live-reload the changes? Did anyone recognize the editor?

Yes, its not as clear cut because being in finance vs. joining or launching a startup has a very different risk profile. If you stay in finance for some time, you have probably made a lot of money by …

Costs 100€+ on Amazon, anybody knows if this available as an ebook?

Yes, he got shit done - this is huge, and trumps most other arguments you might make. Still I wonder about an alternate reality where the OSS movement had a leader that was less of a nut-job.

No you are not alone, but since people often simply just downvote instead of discussing dissenting views, which takes more time, there is a risk to express minority opinions in certain threads, as it …

Yes, I always got the feeling that transhumanism and the singularity is today's flavour of this "fringe philosophy". Not with as much sex, though.

Hypnotic. I wonder how the artist designed the visuals - is it only by math?

Good question, since the patent on them won't expire until Nov 29, 2020.

Interesting. I use it a bit, but would be content to use Java instead if that meant ditching the slow startup.

Also, compare this with the "about this mac" dialog, the transitions are slow as hell. This would never, ever have shipped under Jobs.

Besides, Gradle startup time is significantly slower than Maven, since bootstrapping Groovy is not a fast operation. So that would make things worse.

Thats a good one, Gil Tene is really a good speaker. For anyone who (like me) thinks: "structs are just classes without methods, why are they faster?". The answer is that this is about array…

The ample usage of ";-)" is a pretty reliable indicator of the author being german. Not sure what that means.

I mistook it for simple loop unrolling too, and was surprised at the difference. Take a look a the "cycles per byte" - the difference is big, and I guess the linear access patterns involved …

Nice! I've ported it to Java, and got roughly a 2x speed increase over the version posted at http://stackoverflow.com/a/20586626/58962 (same question Mark Adler posted …

I fully agree. Performance is not even that important, but for much of the Node.js/MongoDB hype cycle, thats what people often claimed was its biggest advantage; that "average" develope…

I agree it is reasonably fast. I don't agree its ecosystem is better than Javas, neither in size nor in quality. Same language is an advantage, so is development speed, I agree. But: C++, Java, L…

Sure it will handle CRUD just fine, like PHP did for all those years, but thats a low standard to measure yourself against. ECMAScript 6 does look kinda decent, but thats the future, not the present. …
