This is a good writeup, though I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the holy grail of caching with HTTP. That of course is good old RFC 2616: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt There's an entire section in there devoted just to caching i

Agree - this pattern is really underestimated. I find it especially powerful at the end of a long day when you've been deep in the details. When you come in the next morning and see that red test, you "download" the context you were in much

Depends on generation too. Some might have said Victor Borge. And also, does "outside of Denmark" mean "in the US"?

I'm glad to see this is not downvoted into grey. This may be HN, but we still love Star Trek. :)

In my experience, it's more like going to a bar and asking "where's so-and-so?" and hearing "oh, yeah, we never see them anymore after they started working for Zynga". The reputation is: long hours, cut-throat environment, back-stabbing exe

Very clever. When I first started using Linux, I always wondered why in the world anyone would use the "Redmond" skin for the desktop. Of course, it's for subterfuge. :)

It's true that greatness is rare, but I think that's partially a combination of rarity of skill and the fact that there are few people willing to put in the number of hours required to achieve greatness. (Yes, I definitely believe in the 10

Unfortunately, if history is an indicator, the West has not been very good at thinking long term. In my opinion the race has been run. The damage to our planet is probably irreversible insofar as that at some point human life will not be po

Why? Few people build something as widely deployed as Windows. It may be "the Devil" but his contribution is respectable.

I believe this - walking around San Francisco in the morning, I'm struck by how many people are just STARING into their smartphone. (Sometimes I'm one of those people). But it is odd how reflexive it seems to have become that when people fe

In all seriousness: some folks on HN (not all) seem to be the guard in the center of the panopticon. If you could see a list of who downvoted you, I'd bet that something interesting would happen. I almost expect to come back and see my karm

I will come out and admit that when I read "network of stripes" I was thinking "oh, a story about RAID". This is interesting too, though. Most likely it is a military installation similar to what exists in the US.

Agreed - folks who are logged in as root a lot seem to have an uncanny tendency to type all kinds of stuff that probably shouldn't show up in a log anywhere. These tend to be the same folks who think that using "sudo" is a waste of time and

I was given some advice recently by someone more senior than me: "in the Valley, equity nowadays is worthless. Show me the money!". That's played itself out as true so many times it's basically become a rule. Equity means absolutely zero fo

This post is unparalleled FUD. We use MongoDB in production and all the issues we've encountered have been either environment or configuration related. There are plenty of things about MongoDB I don't like but this OP is a total coward. If

(I worked for Landmark a long time ago, some facts may be rusty). Theaters bid for the right to show movies, it's an up front cost to then. This cost is recouped primarily through ticket sales. Revenue beyond that is derived from sales of c

That's funny, I've had the opposite experience with the lockout. I figure that if I set the refresh to be reasonably low, it turns into more of an odds thing whether or not I can read HN. And, after a while, I've stopped needing discipline

I'll be very interested to see what use cases come up here. VMWare does a lot of interesting stuff, excited to see what happens on mobile.
