Indeed. My static blog hosted on Linode behind Apache has survived a HN frontpage entry three times now. If I have to use HTTPS, does that mean I need a beefy server with lots of entropy?

And imagine if you had a game that generated terrain by erosion + tectonic plate movement, and you got to see a visualisation of that as it was generating :) 2 billion years of geological activity, simulated in a minute-scale.

MyComponent({realProps: immutable props}) comes to mind.. In a flux application you typically always ask flux for the state, though, so it becomes this.getFlux().myThing.

The main difference between Flux and MVC is the unidirectional data flow. In MVC, a controller updates a model which updates a view which again talks directly to a model that might invoke another view which again might cause a model update,

No screenshots in the readme is a bit of a bummer for adoption, at least for this particular picky individual :)

Completely agree :) In some cases I prefer to wrap it in an aptly named function, but in other cases I prefer the whole algorithm to be in a single function, making comments a very useful tool for "naming".

I wonder where the idea comes from that people that write code that's hard to understand, will write comments that are easy to understand.

Good point, it would make sense to disable the feature for mutable references like "master".

This is all I could find: > At the SoC level, APM plans to integrate many of these CPU cores onto a single package. The range is officially 2 - 128 cores, although I expect we'll see something more reasonable than the extremes. Feom

Norway :) The road sign reading works well anywhere. Adaptive cruise control works best on highways - it's cruise control, after all. When doing a 90 degree turn, for example, it doesn't "know" what's happening. It

What kind of race conditions are you talking about? Something along the lines of memory access that causes the CPU caches to be purged a lot more than they normally would? Genuine question, I know little about CPU cache internals :)

Someone in this thread mentioned that Volvo let anyone use their patented seat belt design. So there's at least a tiny speck of light in the end of the tunnel :)

I wonder how lane detection works. I've had it warn me in a situation where there was no markings on the asphalt due to recent construction work, so it seems to be more clever than just detecting when you drive over markings.

I own a 2013 XC60 and as a programmer, I'm amazed at how well their current automation works in practice. The car reads road signs to show me the current speed limit in the dash (actual OCR, not a GPS database). It works amazingly well

The graph might be a little bit misleading at first glance. There are separate entires for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Combined, they still don't beat Win XP, though.

That link describes a method for translating a URL where a static version of a dynamic page can be found. So you still have to serve and generate static content yourself. So we're not quite there yet. But seems like at least Google has

Calling out to Node is certainly not the end of the world :) I just wanted so show how convenient it is to do when you're on a JVM anyway. Only actual benefit is the API part, i.e. not doing remote calls, just invoke your API in procrs

Qemu comes pretty close. You can dump register and memory values, crashes outputs useful dumps, etc.

There's a Node.js implementation on top of Nashorn, the JS engine that comes with JDK 8 https://avatar-js.java.net/ Pretty cool stuff! I hope someone makes an easy way to render FB react modules on the server without r

I've only used middleman, but it's definitely a inversion of control framework. Your code will somehow magically get invoked, and there's a lot of stuff going on under the hood. In statis, you create your own plain Ring app a

I recently replaced Win7 with Win8 on my gaming rig. I get faster boots, and more disk space for games on my SSD. There's a setting for going to desktop instead of Metro when no apps are open. So the only time I use metro is when I mis

I once skimmed Armstrong's dissertation, it was mentioned how the JVM is bad for fault tolerance, because it's possible for a run-away thread to break the entire VM. Apparently, the Erlang VM manages isolation better, in such a wa

Transients in Clojure is an added feature to the built in immutable values. Essentialy, they are immutable. But Clojure does have mutable-ish versions you can use to build up a semi mutable transient, and when you're done, convert it i

The makefile builds a virtualbox image. But it doesn't do anything interesting yet. I didn't submit to HN, the project is a long way away from being demoable and testable.

I'm an Erlang noob, but afail the model is pretty different. I'm imagining a shared-everything system, where immutable values are freely passed around with no copying. Erlang is more of a shared-nothing system. Also, Erlang requir

Have considered writing the entire kernel in Rust. Haven't considered using it for the system language, will defenitely consider that.
