Thanks for replying directly. I have; I've used Gerrit and Phabricator (which also does inline comment draft keeping) a lot, and I've clicked around Rietveld. I just never have seen much use for the comment draft feature; keeping

Can only view diffs on a single page (can be very slow). I've seen GitHub take five seconds to render a 100K line diff. In my experience all of the other tools I've used, including some of the ones listed, can take longer to ren

Aren't jamming devices of that type illegal, as discussed elsewhere in the thread? And isn't what Cisco is doing by even manufacturing a device with that capability illegal, or at least cause for the FCC to ban its sales in the US

Spoken like someone who has never had to maintain a large production system. This notion is handily disproved by the market, though. Red Hat and Canonical enjoy commercial success and mindshare precisely because they provide stable long-ter

Without listing any of the modules or improvements that are in the standard library in 3 but backported as PyPI modules to 2 (of which there are many), here are the features that I actually use in Python 3: unicode handling that isn't

You're trying to excuse the obfuscation and confusion that the signs create by the fact that the restrictions are motivated by a few different needs. But the government exists to serve the people. If the city wants to collect citations

I'm not sure what this article is about. At a minimum it is misguided. I don't think anyone is seriously arguing for abolishing time zones. Also, while zoneinfo is great, it doesn't help with the more serious issues that aris

I don't have Kill-a-Watts or rack PDU data for fleets of webservers, unfortunately. What I do have is CPU performance data from running with and without SSL gateways and SPDY in production, and all I can say is that the server's C

The argument about computing power and CO2 pollution is misguided. HTTP/2 no longer requires encryption, so the TLS/non-TLS trade-offs remain the same as before (and their compute impact is mitigated by hardware AES support, etc.)

Thanks. I'm not entirely sure how information can be leaked in that case - just timing attacks, or something else?

They got the publicity all right, just not the kind that they wanted. Now NewYork-Presbyterian will be known as that hospital that tried to get publicity out of their patient's suffering.

This overview, while a great start, doesn't really dive into the details of how modern GPUs work. Since 2007, many of the limitations that held GPUs back from being general-purpose computers have been removed (by relentless efforts of

We saw busted PMTUD on a customer's network trying to get to us via a misconfigured network link. It's a bad problem to debug. None of us knew what PMTUD was, or that TCP can require ICMP to work, until that day.

Wow. I never realized Velodyne ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velodyne_Inc. ) was a family-owned, 90-employee operation. Somehow I assumed the world's most sophisticated lidar maker would be a bigger company.
