So in the end it didn't have something to do with monothreaded and CPU affinity, when you read the comment. It was just that he was using the powersaving CPU governor which scaled down the CPU frequency on the cores..

That's a website not a mobile application.

Exactly that. I was just wishing to have the "tty" tool in my actual terminal and not in my browser, just because i spend more working time in the terminal then in the browser. Having to open the browser to find a text interface is somehow

Yes, to really have this available in my terminal would make far more sense then in the browser where i can do the same stuff by entering stuff in the location bar..

Funny thing is when you click on examples the navigation menu indeed has rounded corners which immediately stands out :P

Strange thing when you talk about russia and other potentially censoring regimes you'll also need to talk about SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and what ever else the western governments try to pull off.. It's not like "we" are exactly a role model, eithe

See it that way: A bad programmer that can use such a variety of difficult to read symbols in a language (which perl clearly has) will just use all of them and the result will be horrible to read and understand. Also, often times python rea

I am wondering why it is as it is. I think it may be because of perls abundance of short cryptic symbols that people feel somehow "proud" to 1) know what "while(<>){print if($.==2 || $& && !$x++); $.=0 if (/^--+$/)}" doe

No, whereas pylint promotes a good style, same space between function definitions, etc. this is something that is heavily missing in perl. Python also doesn't have (or actually it's almost never used) global variables and goto and all that

Exactly my feelings. Usually when i bring this up on HN it's just a heavy downvote and i gave up with it.. I must really say that the most horrifying times in my current job over the last years have not been critical situations like server

I must say, when Perl is the "top flight" implementation for unicode i don't want to be a programmer anymore.. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6162484/why-does-modern-p... Just scroll to the end of the first comment, boilerplate code..

And i hope Apple doesn't get it right because of the next patent wars about that stuff and because of all that media buzz again and again. Makes me sick.

Doesn't change the fact that the ship was used in offensive wars against other countries, ffs. Surely you can't deny that. And that's what this is all about. This "but blabla, sword can parry, blabla"... jesus...

Despite the negative comments here, it's always good to be reminded of some of nice built-in things. Reminds me how awesome pythons standard functionality really is.

I can feel your pain.. Maybe you can convince them to update atleast the docstrings and use some documentation generation tool? That's mostly only API docs but still... it's near the code that is touched and should be just on the screen whi

Or the air. Or space. You can even shoot rockets from the other side of the planet. Better invade all countries then! Just to be sure (and safe) :P

Well, that's basically the idea of deterrence, "We have nuclear weapons, don't touch us". But the comment pointed out that the Enterprise didn't protect someone. It was just plainly used to kill. That's what weapons do. They don't "protect"

This is already achieved by atomic bombs and the means to get them as far as Moscow or Beijing or wherever your enemy of the month is today. No need for guns, tanks, aircraft carriers and all that other stuff that is used to _actually kill

No, weapons kill free people. Please look at how many innocent people die in your so called war for your own freedom. And then look where the Enterprise was deployed. Vietnam.. Iraq... yes.. the ship protected your home from the other side

Ah well, they should put it in a museum i guess, not scraping it. edit: Or make a museum out of it, with the size of the ship :P edit2: I see, and according to another link, the ship basically will be destroyed by removing the reactor, so t

That would explain it for you, but i doubt all those commenters are your ex colleagues ;) I'm aware that life is complex. But comments like "hey, let's give it to Israel they can re-arm it and have a nice weapon there" make me sick, sorry.

I must say i don't understand why so many people here are so sad that a weapon is destroyed. In my book that's fucking great! I'm even somewhat disgusted. But when i read the title i was sad as well... until i came across "The aircraft carr

That's the normal procedure in germany as well. But the "package station" offer is also available, plus if you have one nearby sometimes they send it there instead of the next post office. Unfortunately they closed my "package station"..

by buster 14y ago
I'm wondering.. It sounds exactly like what the german post service offers. You order something, it get's delivered to some automated station where you can pick up the package at any time.. Is this not common in other countries?

I don't truely see enough benefits for coffeescript. 99% of the eco-system uses vanilla JS and i would like to stay in one "language" as much as possible. In general i don't really feel comfortable with code-generating layers that abstract

No, that's why you should always check your input data. It's a bug elsewhere, not a question of unsigned versus signed.

I would much more care for timely security updates. Servers are the parts where you don't need the latest software, in my opinion. Not if it comes for less stability or security. In the best case i have a very secure default installation, i
