> What would it be like on the westbound leg, I wondered — a longer flight, from a shorter runway, in the face of winter headwinds? Wouldn't colder (denser) air and a headwind make the plane require less runway?

After 20 years of not using caps lock, two things happened in the last couple of years: (1) I taught myself to touch type "properly," and (2) I started using an IBM XT keyboard (the first layout in the linked article) with caps lo

We're using it happily at Yieldbot. We're an ad network, and the core matching technology (which finds relevant ads based on the contents of the page and decides which one to show and how much to bid) is all Clojure. All the data

I'm not worried my own instance/droplet getting DDoSed, but DO's network being taken offline for days because of a large-scale DDoS attack directed at another customer, as happened with Linode in 2016.

How is DigitalOcean's resilience to DDoS attacks? After Linode's giant DDoS-related outages a couple of years ago, I moved everything to AWS on the theory that they (along with Google and Azure) would be better at mitigating simil

Am I remembering incorrectly, or was it the case before that you needed to press Enter (or Fn+Return on laptops) to rename a file? Did they change that recently?

This is fantastic! Unlike MobileOrg, it does not require a separate step in emacs to export and import data. And it shows the files in ways that are more useful. Being able to review my tasks on the toilet will make org-mode ten times as us

We use Clojure extensively at Yieldbot. The entire data-science side of the house is Clojure. That includes Spark jobs that computes forecasts and estimates click-through rates and a number of Storm topologies that crawl our publishers&#x27
