Practically, these are great, fair, and true points, and I agree with them. Idealistically, another side of me fucking hates this. Nothing would ever change, and humanity would never progress if we withheld our differences of opinion. At

This generalizes further than just antifeminism. Christians and atheists are usually in positions to hire people. I guess we should just fire everybody who ever believed in anything, and then we'd have a perfect world, right?

For all the value of political correctness in the workplace, someone just lost their job for their honest views, because some found them too ugly to bear. If you're still thirsty for more ugly truth, check out a Twitter search for @pax

You should probably ask the people who've been promoting these ideas since at least the 70s :) "No time soon" is my best bet As I understand it, creating a proof becomes increasingly more complex in proportion to program size

From the description it sounds like they're just using bcache for the storage layer, or one its equivalents (IIRC Facebook came out with a very similar patch). Still pretty cool

I'd love to apply to this, but most people around me are off having stable jobs, wives, mortgages, children and other such craziness. Is there much hope for accepting a solo founder with a non-profit idea?

Yes, the point of the thread is to match work seekers with providers. Clearly nobody is at work today, and the only people posting are seekers. There's only 3 "seeking freelancer" replies out of 61 posts

There are many reasons why you might see a disproportionate number of requests from that part of the world. At the very least China is most populous country in the world, and Asia is absolutely flooded with cheap hardware. SSH worms have be

Back in the sands in the time Sun also did this with Java. IIRC the associated license was a great cause of pain for open implementations of the JVM, since without passing the suite you couldn't call yourself Java, and with passing the

Sadly it doesn't work like that.. if 2 processes have the same port number bound, then approximately 50% of clients will hash onto the second receive queue. If the debug process only accepts a few connections every so often, then nearl

The level of bikeshedded micro-optimization going on in that file is hilarious. The whole thing could be swapped out with a Ragel parser and nobody would notice a thing

They produced the driver under license, somehow someone got a hold of the code and "guerilla relicensed" it, which they did not have authority to do, and uploaded the result to Github. Sometime later when this repository was notic

This should at the top. A CPython extension author need do no more than Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS before some native work, and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS on completion, literally just 2 macros. In between the interpreter can run freely on another th

If they had any clue they'd just watch traffic to Google Analytics and instantly have something like 75% coverage. Or maybe they already do that.

I hear a "shooting star" was seen the night of the Tunguska event. The fact this shooting star showed up just prior to an enormously powerful explosion suggests the allies had nuclear weapons in 1908, and that they were supplied b
