I personally have my own idea for that: Sure, we have hit many walls, but I don't think that's the main reason for the slow down in CPU development. I think it's mostly because the R&D moved from making the CPU faster for

There are plenty of people ignoring this law, in Italy and in the world. But I'd say that a trip in the space is something a bit too big for just ignoring laws :)

Our law is a clusterfuck :) See http://www.slideshare.net/Promosfera/sweepstakes-and-contest... and http://www.promosfera.it/faq_italia.php (in Italian). This is the actual law: http://www.c

1. Really? I've been using it for a while, and no breakage. Sure, I just use the default rulelist instead of applying rules to everything (which imo is what most people should do). 2. Sure, but it's better than nothing. As parent

A while ago, their ad network started to serve .apk to Android users (see https://pay.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qwb2i/weird_apk_t... ). This is way worse than "just a fullscreen ads", since

By the way, the nginx wiki says that you should avoid ifs when possible: http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil Wouldn't something like this accomplish the same thing? (Sorry if I'm totally wrong, I'm not really good

Okay, I like to think as myself as an open minded individual. I'm not a systemd fanboy either, I just research and use what I believe it's better for myself. There is a reason why I can't consider the anti-systemd guys seriou

Another neat "trick" with dnsmasq is to redirect all the dns request for your domain to your dns provider when you're working with dns records (config needed: server=/example.com/176.124.112.100). Never wait for dns

While I can agree with that, how do you get people to use your new awesome crypto library? LibreSSL (the name of the OpenBSD fork, it seems) API should stay OpenSSL-compatible, making it mostly a drop-in replacement. Also, I think that an O

That's a really nice idea, I'm sure such a site has the potential to generate very high-quality discussions about a topic. The only problem I see, is that the audience of HN (and Reddit even more) is big and has many different int

It isn't you. The AMD opensource team has been doing a terrific work lately, especially considering the small size (IIRC 4 people). DPM is the big thing, as it means that the gpu can raise the clock under load as it does on Windows, bu

I don't agree. An LTS release is not the place to introduce such an huge change. An LTS is a stable release, and should include only stable, well-tested software. I, for one, hope they'll introduce Mir in the "right" way

I don't own one, but I usually see lots of raccomandations for the EdgeRouter Lite or the EdgeRouter POE (which is a Lite + integrated Switch + POE). It does run on Debian, I think you can just ssh in an do everything you want. By the

I'd say that the closest thing we have is Debian. With paid support, there is Oracle Linux and SLES (and obviously Ubuntu). RHEL/CentOS aren't popular for the lack of alternatives, but more because that's what most sysad

Like everyone else here, I've been using ssh -D. Which is awesome especially because I have my hosts organized into my ~/.ssh/config file, so if I need a connection in the USA, I'll just type "ssh -D 4444 us".

Nice :) One of my ideas about "tripcodes" was that eventually an user could upload a style-sheet to customize his blog, one could see all the post by a certain tripcode and could follow him (rss?). I agree, I like the simple desig
