I'd really like to see the evidence for that. Postres > MySQL, and MySQL doesn't have that many lock-in features last time I looked. Any Google/FB/Twitter employees here than ca…

Yes please. Its a stack machine anyway, so it should map nicely to the hardware right?
comment
I agree, this looks terrible. It seems every discussion about static vs. dynamic typing on HN ends with the following realizations, spread over multiple comments: - its hard to safely refacture withou…

I saw a pretty fly space suit at the top of the page. I saw some very disappointing things that looked like a 12 year old made them with duct tape. I got to choose between those disappointments. I the…

Are there international stats? There aren't very many mail services I would trust, but I would trust the swiss one. Just a gut feeling, though.
comment
Do you think DX12 or Mantle will help with overcoming the high-level API overhead?
comment
I know I'll get downvoted, but that comment was probably much more hilarious than you intended.
comment
Interesting idea, but is there really up-to-date satellite imagery of the huge area to search for? I always thought sats can only make high-res pictures of narrow strips, which are then assembled by f…
comment
Thats what I was afraid of. I'm still curious because learning Haskell would probably make me a better programmer, but I find it easier to motivate myself if its not just a theoretical exercise. …
comment
Thats actually a good point, I agree the list of "successful" programs for Haskell is a sad joke. I know some People in finance use it for HFT, but other than that? Can anyone give better ex…

Loved it, especially the royal try/catch: would_you_mind {
// Code here
} actually_i_do_mind (Exception £e) {
// Politely move on

Oh the irony.

I see, the tomcat tcp connection backlog is a similar concept I guess, just thats it blocks at some point once the queue is full, unlike node.js?
comment
Funny that you mention it, I get what you mean.
Its a bit like the sequence from "once upon a time in the west", where the camera goes over a hill, showing all the unclaimed land, the worke…
comment
These are exactly the reasons I have stayed away from it until now. I don't understand this one though, what does it mean? * No easy way to handle back pressure.
comment
That has traditionally been the main objection to the google search appliance, or so I have been told - but the site now says the thing supports ACLs. Anyone has experience with that?
comment
That was rather spectacular. I couldn't help but think that someone else controlled it, it was so many times close to run into power lines.
Are there any believable theories as to why that happen…
comment
Thats the best one yet. Its true, you cant make that stuff up!
comment
To me it sounded like a pretty stupid race condition. Anyway, at least they reacted better than MtGox.
comment
Dang, guess that joke's on me. Wouldn't have realized it, thx for the correction.
comment
Yeah, thats what I thought too, until I read this little gem, suggesting that OpenSSL was written by monkeys: http://www.peereboom.us/assl/assl/html/openssl.html Its ki…
comment
Omg, I nearly missed that: What did I create a ssh server for? The same thing I created a DNS server for fun and for KalyHost.
I'm not sure "disbelief" is sufficient to describ…
comment
Thanks, but do I have to enable them on the host or the guest OS? Or both? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the details of HW virtualization.
comment
Interesting, if one ever needs to boost a memcache/Redis instance, this might actually work. But what about virtualization? Can I use 1GB pages in a guest OS, or will the host OS still handle eve…
comment
Wow. Thats really bad, who would have thought OpenSSL is such a piece of crap? Its about time someone writes a decent alternative!
comment
I live there, and in my experience, Stuttgart is not a very good city to live in, and I know quite some people who share that sentiment. Swabians are famously unapproachable, though I do respect them …
comment
I'm clueless, so I'll just ask: is this made for software-defined networking?
comment
I wondered about that as well - I guess US evening time is a sweet spot? I'm european, so I have no clue really.
comment
So was I. I remember a posting about deep learning on HN, they managed to let the algorithm play a NES game purely by analyzing the video. So who is up for the challenge?
comment
Still the question remains, WebComponents need shadow DOM right?
