Would love to see a vim plugin that can function as a client for the server component. eclim works well but it would be great to have an alternative, or a company like redhat to help out with that effort.

Its possible that Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are all bad actors, all at the same time. The existence of problems at one of them does not preclude criticism of the others.

Couldn't Yelp just leave the comment up but add a message to note that it has ruled as defamation by the court? Maybe the court should structure its order like that, so that no content has to be removed but the plaintiff can get some

There is no such thing as "stealing manufacturing jobs", at least not in the criminal sense of the word. If such a thing existed, then anytime a teacher grades on a curve, the students with the lowest scores should be able to sue

Common sense (which probably is not worth much when it comes to international relations) suggests that without China's aid DPRK would quickly collapse. Presumably China does not want to see this happen because re-unification with South

Fair enough! I definitely wasn't trying to suggest that is a completely new feature, nor that it is the only feature of Mirage OS ... really was just trying to make the point that there is more to the unikernel story than just figuring

There's more to unikernels than just being another virtualization technology. Most of the conversation on HN (as well as the content of this article) seems centered around unikernels vs. containers vs. a traditional OS in a VM, etc.

I really have to take issue with the normalization point. Modern databases have optimizers that operate under the assumption that your schema is normalized. When you try to get clever and do optimizations yourself, you can very easily tri

Sonatype has a manual review process as well before allowing new projects to deploy to Maven Central. [1][2] One step to mitigate things like this as well would be to have some sort of "crowd-sourcing" command in the package manag

Like I said, you're free to presume whatever you want. I'm also free to not care, and I have no obligation to prove anything to you.

I think that your explanation would probably suffice to keep it from being banned. In the case highlighted in the article, the entire purpose of the program is to target people for harassment. They apparently didn't even pretend to h

"Presumed innocent" is only true with respect to the legal system of the state. Individuals are free to presume whatever they like for whatever purpose.

Unfortunately, neither of your statements is entirely true. There are many cases where law enforcement and the legal system fail victims in a variety of ways (e.g., blaming the victim, improper handling of rape kits, police themselves might

I agree with what you are saying, "terrorism" is a propaganda word for sure. However it also does have a specific definition; that is, using threats or violence to create a political outcome among civilians. Your comment highligh

First, there is not really such thing as a "terrorist country". Terrorism is a tactic, not an ideology. To be more precise, one might refer to "state sponsored terrorism" or something to that effect. But that is besid
