Sure, I would. You think a Mac Pro couldn't run Apache, MySQL, and PHP continuously for a year or so? I imagine I'd discover some network tweaks I'd want to make, but I'd be interested to hear what part of that system wo

It's a beautiful hack, not clickbait. Your expectations for it remind me of that Far Side cartoon where the dog is pushing a lawn mower randomly around the lawn, and his owner says, "You call that mowin' the lawn? Bad dog!&qu

Although I strongly agree with you, and I strongly doubt this report, the story is that they change bikes during the stage. There's no limitation on changing bikes for mechanicals or any other reason. So the hypothesis is, they don&#x2

Isn't the parent commenter correct that BSD permits a developer to distribute a binary without offering the source? At the same time, a free software developer can incorporate and distribute BSD libraries without compromising a free li

It might be easy, after all, to reduce or eliminate those pauses. Try running the Java programs using the G1 collector [1]. [1] http://www.infoq.com/articles/G1-One-Garbage-Collector-To-Ru...

Coincidentally I've spent the past week re-learing how to develop on windows. I wanted to avoid cygwin if possible, but the experience has been painful. I had some hope for Chocalatey, and it seemed encouraging that MS had ported OpenS

Each state offers a free or small fee service where you can view detailed well information. I work at a company that aggregates that information. There are 475 oil and gas drilling rigs running in the US today. The shallowest well is permit

Pavilion is a pathological case. It's the rare area where producible oil is only hundreds of feet below the surface, at the same depths as groundwater [1]. All other plays of interest in the US are one to two miles deep. It's irre

Of course I would never create a dependency on a small module like left-pad. I would simply copy the function wholesale into the body of my code!

Fair enough guys. Thanks for reminding me about webrings. I had forgotten them and confused them with common link spam we see now. I do consider first hand memories a more reliable contribution than hearsay (reading about it), but there is

I believe Flandrian national feeling drove the Cancellara accusations. He just smoked home hero Boonen on the Muur. Nothing about that video is convincing. The hand movements look like shifts.

Domestiques use other kinds of dope as much, or more than, race leaders. Their job is to burn themselves out in service to their leaders. If you dope up your domestiques, the leader gets an easier ride.

I've found I often prefer reading and writing the actual guts of the inlined function, over naming it something semantically significant. It's often difficult to craft a good English name for the function. It can inhibit understan

No, if you examine the code, you'll see the timer times only the accumulated execution time for the loop. The code has been compiled. See below to eliminate doubt -- I used go build and got similar numbers.
