Eh, reasonable. I suppose I meant that I care about it enough to post something on the internet, but only about that much. That's what part of me cares.

A part of me feels like conscious, sentient beings should have equal protection under the law. Just because they don't encode knowledge in written language or make tools like we do doesn't mean that they may be any less sentient.

You missed the point of his article. I believe Zed has shown that his mind is perfectly capable of seeing and processing the macro picture. Whether that be language theory, software engineering, or whatever he puts his energies towards. I m

I mentioned this in the previous thread but if you want this to stick around you might want to get a link to this put in the monthly whoishiring threads. Those should also be scraped for seed data to get this thing rolling.

The jobs threads are already incredibly active on the first of every month. If you want the community to get into this you might try to come up with a way to scrape that data. Additionally! If you want people to actually remember this thing

In instances where you may have many processes reading the same files in some sort of access pattern and you know they need to be in disk cache you can use fadvise[1]. It'll let you tell the kernel that I am going to need that file, why don

Disclaimer: I work at American Roamer. We actually track the marketed patterns that the carriers around the world say they have. In my analysis a lot of these open source ones are pretty messy datasets that wouldn't really add to our produc

Some examples where you might not care: HDFS has every block on three DataNodes around the cluster. Cassandra is similar and both will auto heal if a node goes down. Projects like drbd will do block level mirroring of a partition between a

Or perhaps it can open doors that will end up holding you back. There are people who are legitimate acid casualties. I know a guy who now has social anxiety so bad that he rarely leaves his house. This was most certainly not the case before

I found it particularly hard to read the recent Amazon Outage thread. There was so much information to sift through. It had me missing the comment scores.

Thanks for this. I had designed and partially implemented this exact same thing. Do you know of this running in production anywhere?

I pretty much meant the areas where it is not well known, which is most of it. I went back and forth about whether or not to generalize it to smaller, less robust economies or not. The comments thus far in this thread seem to support the th

I recently went on a crusade to find this and show it to my children. I view it as a turning point in my development and one that influenced my life's path a great deal.

This was the best keynote at Strange Loop in St. Louis this year. It was wild sitting in a room with that many people all laughing about the unbelievable metaprogramming he had to do on punch cards. I'm hoping 2011 Strange Loop is as good a
