You're blowing things way out of proportion because you don't have any idea what you're talking about. It was a server involved in a fraction of Google's downloads comprising an even smaller fraction of Google's tot

From Paul Graham's "How to Disagree"[0]: DH2. Responding to Tone. The next level up we start to see responses to the writing, rather than the writer. The lowest form of these is to disagree with the author's tone. E.g.

First you'd have to make sure your string hash function isn't strlen.

Your idea sounds heavy . A lot of storage deployments are limited (surprisingly) not by space or power, but by the weight that can be supported on the raised floors common in POPs, so something that increases (storage) density while simul

Judy arrays are a straightforward, highly optimized implementation of a HAMT. Unfortunately, they were highly optimized for 32-bit machines.

> std::list is an awful container...You should never use it, unless you really know what you are doing To put a finer point on that: you should use std::list iff you need to splice (or insert into the middle) in constant time.

No, banning a customer is almost exactly equivalent to sending the sort of C&D letter that Craigslist sent. I'm banned from Walmart for life, and was asked to sign a trespass warning explaining that if I'm found on Walmart pr

You can have a house or a business on a public street and ban certain people from visiting it as well. Why does it seem strange that the same law applies online?

If only they made real life rotating, oriented maps. They'd need a new name, perhaps something emphasizing their roundness...balls? No, the kids would make fun of that. Spheres? Too generic. Wait, I got it. Let's call them

What does it mean to "push-process" film to a higher ISO? Is that the film equivalent of shooting digital at ISO 500 and then increasing the exposure a stop in Lightroom?

I'm talking about programmers, not computer scientists. That is, people who actually accomplish things in the real world by hacking on software, rather than pontificating about it from their monadic ivory towers :) The latter have &q

Naive, absolutist positions in areas of long-standing consensus between programmers of great experience and the highest imaginable competence makes one look even more ridiculous. By and large, the best programmers eschew nesting in favor

What I'm more interested in, but the author (unfortunately) didn't expound upon: tell me what movies don't follow the expected "beats". Those are the ones I want to see.

I don't think that's strange, and I don't think it's bad: nor do I think it's something you're doing because you're a man. Even in gathering of my closest friends, where we share implicit trust that ever

I take my boys to the playground most days when I pick them up after work: my wife works later than I do, and it gives us something entertaining to burn the time until she gets home. I usually have my DSLR out with some sort of "stalk

Except that democracy itself consists of a gang of more people beating up gangs of fewer people just because they can. It merely substitutes numbers for strength. Neither might nor popularity makes right.

No. I could, but I wouldn't. Too much work, and I'm paid well enough that it's easier just to buy soda. No. Yes, I do it all the time. Yes, I do it all the time.
