Are you implying this is a bad thing? What other operating system can claim even just an order of magnitude more holes? 2, in what, over a decade? That's incredibly good.

It seems we've already passed this problem: "We also show that with Mio, McNettle (an SDN controller written in Haskell) can scale effectively to 40+ cores, reach a throughput of over 20 million new requests per second on a single

That seems like an orthogonal issue to me. The assert is to ensure that the data type matches some external requirement; a quote is a structure that as 28 bytes long, and if something changes to make a Quote not 28 bytes long, you'll b

If it's stored on ZFS, Copy on Write will let you edit a copy that only stores the changed files, and deduplication could give back even more space (if necessary and RAM permits).

The point of encryption is to make non-random data appear random, and sense can only be made of it when the correct key is used to decode it.

I think this "problem" can be viewed from a different angle: Mathematicians have managed to find a language which they feel confortable expressing their ideas in (whether for fun in this case or for more serious applications). I d

I find the fact that I can't even find out what koding.com is when using IE 9 pretty obnoxious. Love it or not, many people are forced to use older browsers. Sending them to https://koding.com/unsupported.html without

You seem pretty uninformed about ZFS so I'll try and help. As other have mentioned, there's the zpool scrub command which checks the integrity of the drive. Also, I'm not sure where you got the "ZFS keeps previous versio

I run FreeBSD on a microserver with 4x3TB in raidz1, and it was simple enough to set up, and NAS4Free is even easier. I believe it's supported time machine for a long time, though it'll be the annoying disk image based time machin

I've considered Reducable, but I'm not sure that makes much sense either (such as when using a -> a as a monoid, you're not really reducing them). Combinable doesn't work because you're not necessarilly combining

Your last sentense made me realise why ARM64 no longer has conditional instructions. Obviously it's designed for higher power situations than most ARM cores, and OOO is an important part of doing that efficiently. reduced instruction d

Isn't gold specifically targetted at x86 and/or linux only (I can't remember which)? Having it as part of the LLVM project means they can use a lot of the infrastructure that already exists, and exists to used as libraries, a

The interrupt routine would only be writing the next byte of audio to the DAC which would be at a fixed address, whats causing the corruption is that the CPU stores the state of the CPU when the interrupt occurs onto the stack; this isn&#x2

I was just going to write this comment myself before checking to see if I'd been beaten. It's definitely one of the great stories of computer history.

Why do kids have to learn to code for iOS? I learnt to program on a mac and have never written anything more than the most basic Mac os iOS apps; it's just never interested me. I've spent most of my time writing Haskell and C, amo

Weren't you listening? Apple is involved, so it's obvious all evil. Apple has never done anything at all without an evil ulterior motive; don't you read HN?

As someone quite familliar with Haskell, I found the code here almost unreadable. I guess Coq is a log way away from Haskell.

The worst part of this is that it's retroactive, so adding a robots.txt that denies the wayback machine access causes the machine to delete all history of the site. This is really annoying for patent cases where the prior art is on the

Right you are, a small slip on my part. To clarify for anyone playing along, a granted patent doesn't make using the invention illegal, but it does mean the owner of the patent how the right to a)exclude you from using it if they so ch
