Right clicking is one click too many. Wouldn't it be better to get the binary securely in the first place?

Putty is actually quite slow, due to not implementing AES with the Intel intrinsics. Trying to transfer files using pscp, or WinSCP (which uses putty) over a local network link runs into a CPU bottleneck.

It's such a good pattern, that other languages have even standardized it. Java's exceptions are basically the same thing: The stacktrace and the underlying exception come by default. Arguably, Go made a mistake here by not havin

From what I understand, inlining is the key optimization that compilers make to speed up code. Once inlined, the excess computations of a function body can be removed or shortened, based on the calling context. With that in mind, how can

But it is often a proxy, and proxies are both clients and servers. The number of misbehaving proxies is large enough that it isn't reasonable to turn on pipelining globally, which is why browsers don't.

You probably don't want clear text. A number of major ISPs (and proxies) poorly implement HTTP. They are either buggy or intentionally modify your connection. There was a blogpost by Youtube a while back about how turning on SSL ac

Probably the most interesting part of 2's complement is how to negate numbers. Flip all the bits and add 1. Which is strange, because to negate the number again, flip all the bits and add 1. It feels like accidentally adding 2 doesn

How long will it be before Google's Angular becomes popular, and the company decides it isn't economical to have two javascript-ish languages? My money is on Typescript.

Comparing median rent price to the lowest income earners is not relevant. Looking at the 1st percentile of rent prices would be appropriate.

One thing I like about rsc (and Austin) is that they have these well explained commit logs that let's people follow along at home. The changes seem like they are well justified and made for posterity. This change in particular is a s

Not surprising. I stopped by one evening to see what it was "wow, THE DNA lounge, started by that guy!" When I showed up the place was empty, looked like the music part of building hadn't been used in a while, and some ston

One painfully missing thing is FUSE support. My workflow involves coding on an sftp-mounted directory, which doesn't work in the Windows version. Alas, it seems the only remote mounting Windows will ever have is WebDAV.

Not to be morbid, but it definitely will. Young people today will be literate, and the older people will no long be part of the population.

Even most programmers are distributed like this. My team recently was doing usability tests of a networking library that I work on. We screen recorded a few random programmers try to install it and then make a simple app with it, giving t

Frame Count != sort speed. Cache effects are going to dominate. How close together the red dots are will more closely represent how fast it is.

I like faster latency as much as the next person, but these improvements aren't free. On my own servers I notice approximately 20% of CPU time spent in GC.

Real name policies would probably be a lot more accurate if they let the people who know you pick it. Arguably, your name is more for other people than for yourself.

Giving up control is harder than the author makes it seem. It isn't so much that you give it up, but that you give _to_ someone else. Picking that someone else is extremely difficult and a wrong choice will destroy your community. Us

Ed25519 is fast, but I don't think the speed is significantly faster to be an argument for using it. Running the borgingssl speed tool on a skylake mobile processor: Did 1083 RSA 2048 signing operations in 1017532us (1064.3 ops&

I still don't get it. Why not just absorb it? Serving static HTML and related data is fast. A single rack in a datacenter could easily serve this with out breaking a sweat. Sure, this costs Akamai money they don't want to spend

If the creators read this, please add MX shaming! Some sites have AAAA records but still use IPv4 MX records.

Presumably it is related to the widespread use of IE6: they are running old bootleg versions of Windows, which dont do IPv6.

Struct embedding has been mostly unpleasant in my experience. When a type is embedded, only the methods that are explicitly on the interface/struct actually get propagated, rather than all of public methods. This means that wrapper t
