Minor correction: you can disable it, but this doesn't change the status of the data already deduped. This is in fact true also when you enable it: current data is unaffected by the change, you need to move/copy it. The biggest is

Not having a middle class that can afford lots of labor intensive services is in my opinion even more a sign of a income gap, since it means that either you're very rich, or too poor to afford such services.

ffmpeg and mplayer support aalib and/or libcaca, so you can watch your favorite movie in ascii art, if you wish so (you can find lot of examples on youtube, though I couldn't fine one worth sharing)

Funny, for me 500 points would be a flag that the story is not technical enough, and probably about how the latest iPhone's UI sucks, gender inequality in SV, Google/FB/Hw manufacturer spying on our life, and many other simil

Which in a way it is better also for end users. At least we don't have to pay the license for a software that we don't want to run on our computer :-)

Which is exactly what Intel did, since Intel didn't use e.g. Linux. If there were no BSD based OS to use, my bet is that Intel would have continued to use a closed source OS.

I agree that storing unix timestamps is a good approach. My issue was with "then displayed to the proper locale by the client's device." I mean, by itself it is ok, but in the case of a web client one cannot unfortunately ju

It is not good enough. All the major browsers that I tried do not properly handle the timezone offset, as I discovered a few days ago (I put a more complete answer about this in a stackoverflow answer, but I don't know if putting the l

I would love to have a way to tell the browser "don't throw away the current DOM, Just apply the differences". It would work nicely in non-js page to make the experience smooth (and would probably work terribly if there was a

I think the parent meant to exclude some domains from every search. I would love that too. If I have to add "-site:somedomain.com" (and maybe even many of them!) it takes less effort ignore them in the result

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For example I used to put the opening brace on a line of its own, mostly for simmetry reasons ( `{` in the same column as the relevant `}` ). By the way, after many years I had to change it for coding s

The code is below. I have to admit that after a few more test I realized that the performance greatly depends on the length of the input, in some cases going as low 2 GB/s and some others reaching the performance of the GNU yes instal

Now that I think about it, you have a point. In general when I think about a (software) vulnerability I think about taking advantage of some bugs or unforeseen behavior of the software. If the software is acting as intended but can not prot

As other have pointed out elsewhere what matters here is not much the performance of the language but how much you can avoid calling IO code by making the path as straightforward as possible. You can get comparable performance ( 6.5 GB&#x2F

I don't think the parent is talking about vulnerabilities, but the fact that if you know how the antivirus engine works it may be easier to write a virus able to avoid detection.

Is it really the case ? I would expect the language to expand the size of the heap only if after a GC the amount of free memory is still below a certain threshold.

I agree, for this reason I don't think it is right to do on a font level. I prefer to use my editor's (emacs) capability to do visual substitutions depending on language that I am using.
