By longitudinal diff , are they referring to repeated diffs à la `git log -p`? Then it isn't really different from repeating a diff algorithm on adjacent snapshots. Better tools to diff tree-like structures is still good news. Specifically

That lower level of abstraction shouldn't be exposed in all languages, though; languages with complex instructions and garbage collection tend to be better implemented with a GIL, and it is a good idea to discourage the use of threads when

It's not like prions are contagious. If I wasn't in the UK for those years, and was protected from any additional risk by fairly sensible quarantine policies… I am just as safe as the next donor. It sounds like the US is depriving itself fr

Why connect to template1? It should be invisible. Create a user and a database for your webapp. Matching the unix account name is the simplest way to do that. In pg_hba.conf, let unix users authenticate as matching PostgreSQL users: l

Why didn't HN eat this up? It's a well balanced solution to the problem of making CAs accountable for the certificates they issue, and I'd have submitted it if it wasn't already.

Are you referring to the second graph, with bars of CPU time? It shows the CPU time spent making 1K handshakes (with six hardware threads proceeding sequentially, but since CPU time is summed, using a single thread would have given the same

They really shouldn't encourage reports of an entire blog. Reporting content that breaks some law makes sense, reporting a person for their entire stream goes too far; it's just there to go with Lieberman's “the problem of this country is t

Today's news is almost entirely ad-funded, with a lot of the story work done ahead of time by PR agencies. It's not a shining example of editorial independence.
