Size itself is actually not that important. The time to load and process it still is to some degree, especially on mobile, and that increases almost linearly with size.

Let's hope this one will soon just be a cache hit as well then ;)

Hey tomgirl1, welcome to Hacker News. Good to have you here. It might be a good idea to read up on the guidelines [1] a bit though, since it seems your comments, while generally with good intent, often don't contribute much to the disc

They're as secure as your ability to keep the private keys private, just like with server certs. As far as MITM and PFS goes; that's handled just the same as regular SSL. Using a client cert doesn't affect that at all.

I don't know what browsers do, but it's fairly easy to password protect these keys. If you then keep the key accessible until some timeout (whether maximum or idle time) occurs then you've got pretty good security. That'

From what I can tell your comment essentially reaffirms what I said, except that on this part: > Informal power structures in hierarchal groups have less power and they happen only between peers . I think, unless you work in a very stri

How do you mean? I'm not talking about keeping the current console contents -- just your default configuration settings.

Is there any reason for not using the existing terminal configuration of the user? I love the idea but I have a lot of aliases I use for development and not having them is quite inconvenient.

The thing is that this exists just as well in hierarchical groups though. I've yet to encounter an organization where the hierarchical structure accurately represents the actual power structure. What's happening here is that in fl

I think you're creating a false dichotomy in your mind though, since a lot of these other things you learn will actually be part of your down-time so to speak and they will cross-pollinate more than you think. In this video you see mor

That's actually how it's done [1] in the Netherlands in general. What you'd really want is how they do it in Amsterdam [2] though, with underground storage boxes (check out the videos.) So all in all you weren't even clo

If I'm correct the €30k figure refers to the budget they get to spend of which a large percentage gets spent on (relatively) frivolous expenses.

Also consider reading his seminal essay called "Magic Ink" [1] and afterwards take a look at the publication date and try to remember where the web was back then. [1] http://worrydream.com/MagicInk/

That feature is bound to be functional reactive programming which extends into the server. The two easiest ways to think of FRP are to either a) imagine it as declarative data binding with the ability to add function transformations or b) t

Too bad they used the reported 5 zettabytes number which is probably the amount of data processed , not stored.

Yeah, you could interpret my feedback as saying that you're addressing the what but not the why. Looking at it as sales/marketing copy though I'd say that your biggest competitor by far isn't people not understanding w

Really love the animation, but I can't help but wonder if A/B testing couldn't be explained more powerfully. Within the example of the store for example, the real pain A/B testing addresses is cyclical variation leading

The summary says that women are less good at math when doing a test under their own name rather than under an alias. This effect is more pronounced the more the women cares about her math performance. What exactly is vague about that?

By "right kind of" I meant to exclude the ones you're referring to. In general I'd find it hard to believe having more resources available reduces your growth rate.
