read this before noticing it was written in 2006 by Aaron Schwartz. That certainly colors the perspective. I wonder how much has changed.

Awesome project and a killer concept. No one has been able to really solve relational database scalability yet. I'll have to study the implementation. I was just talking with some friends a few weeks ago about this problem and we co

I'm supposed to use the perl api for user and schema management? Perl holds a special place in my heart, but I'm not too excited about managing my database with it. How about an interactive console? I'm currently using MySQ

Excellent point, I wouldn't however use USD, EUR, or RMB for jewelry. The point remains that BTC has no less intrinsic value than any fiat currency. As soon as we promise each other work in exchange for something that thing gains val

Seems all currency is a ponzi scheme. Even gold is valuable only due to scarcity and peoples desire to have it. It's been currency for thousands of years and only recently has it been used in industry. That said, I keep expecting th

5 pages of comments, how bizarre. What could possibly go wrong in manufacturing to make electronics smell like cat piss?

Yep that's the one. The whole web is image heavy these days so this will affect everyone. We have a lot of older computers on our network, this will really help.

Getting closer, can't wait for 26 ever since that massive memshrink improvement hit the front page.

Check out the windows 3.0 demo in the first comment. Qbasic is the first thing I found there. Had so much fun w/ qbasic, writing polysonic songs for the little pc speaker, hacking up GORILLAS.BAS, which WORKS!!!!

Seems like they're usually based on hardware emulators like qemu, bochs or similar which are compiled to javascript using tools like emscripten. IO hardware needs to be emulated in JS, a framebuffer is drawn to a canvas, mouse input e

I see your point, and it's valid. I'm just really grateful to have had an interest in computers at a time where proficient use has required a deeper understanding. I take my car for granted, it's a machine that just works,

adorable, and good for you! Seems kids now, spend all their time on computers, and don't even know how to use them. My parents supported my interest in computers from a young age and it's paid off for me a thousand times over, b

Thought provoking article, we all want a better world. Seems arrogant to think that most people believe their jobs are meaningless, I get no sense of that here in Indianapolis. The last sentence really turned me off, "We’re an anti-p

I don't really get what advantage this gives me beyond using gevent. There's still no parallelism. The readme describes it as "A solution to concurrency," but I already get that using gevent. Is it just to improve com

AFAIK ZeroMQ doesn't support any kind of timeout on REP sockets. It could be hacked in with signals or a watchdog thread in a multiprocessing setup, but that's ugly. If you're going to all that trouble it seems much cleaner

by jacob019 13y ago
At JacobsParts we experienced this. Every few weeks our central API would just stop responding. We were using a threaded python zeromq server and the REP "sockets" would get stuck, even after the client was gone. Enough stuck s

The vulnerabilities mentioned seem to apply to large scale public websites. If a company serves a website for internal use then it unlikely to be a direct target. Could any of the vulnerabilities expose company data to large scale governm

Actually seems quite reasonable, wouldn't want the employees getting a feeling that the security rules don't apply anymore. They would be wise do declassify the leaked documents, what's done is done and trying to pretend oth

This really resonates with me. I'm having a terrible time getting high quality code from my team. Software is expensive to develop, and as a tech company we always try to solve every problem with code first. I'm going to make more

Love the evil faces in the infographic with the twisted eyes. Notice how the sysadmin is not evil.

writing custom drivers for each NIC is a blocker. Could 10M be achieved with raw sockets?
