“don't take too much financing” is a recognition that Digg v4's failure (and you should look at Alexa graphs to see how significant that was) was due to ignoring the community to give investors the site they thought they wanted.

They tried to make APIs copyrightable. That's about the same magnitude of evil as legalising software patents.

I like this girror thing, it looks like it will fit my non-node projects much better than Capistrano's awkward git integration. (For some reason you linked to a fork, but it's no longer current)

Okay, I found the reference on page 10. Somehow my keyword search didn't work and we didn't number pages the same way.

IQ is one of those “look for the keys under the streetlight” things. It's for people who really care about intelligence being something measurable as a decimal number. In every study that isn't a meta-study like this one, the tasks that wer

It sounds like you are hijacking the paper to talk about a pet theory. Did you find a cite on p11 about DNB? They refer to cognitive exercise, but not using that particular method. Whether that method is effective or not is orthogonal to th

No, the toroid one is much better because it changes the worktree to export the data. That way the git directory won't be exposed to the web server.

Do you know of ServerFault? The reason you shouldn't ask this on StackOverflow is that it is on-topic on sister-site ServerFault. Either you'll find a similar question, or you'll have the opportunity to ask yours.

I know that, the bit I want to emphasize is that it won't be the mkdir argument that is on the same line.

We mostly used ; in math classes. For a set: { 1,2; 3,5; -12,1 } Calculators that are otherwise internationalised force the dot convention.

It's labelled "visitor", which is even more bogus (most measures might discriminate browsers, cookies, or IPs, which adds systemic errors in both directions). According to jcampbell1, this is requests per domain from a traffic sample interc

Seriously, try it. History expansion works on input lines separated by the user asking the shell to run them, it can't cross reference command arguments on the same command line.

That's a reasonable explanation, but it's dishonest for Compete to put these numbers on a graph labelled "unique visitors". The Google+ poster didn't have any inkling about what the numbers represent.

You mean "$_". !$ refers to the previous command in the history.

I would keep HTTP/1.1, as you suggest. SSL servers on cheap (sub-Raspberry Pi) embedded devices are a no-go for another reason: it is hard to keep the certificate unique and private. Embedded devices with smart cards might be workable.

Speedy or not, content identification wouldn't have recognised the lyrics from Obama's singing. YouTube's system is sold to users as a way to keep its DMCA safe harbour (YouTube to McCain in 2008: http://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2008/

I regret missing out on that. Using those addresses? https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5156#section-2.3 That doesn't make the chicken-and-egg problem disappear. The best I could imagine is that it would allow IPv6 to downgrade to IPv4 using

The key difference with IPv6 is that SPDY is opaque to routers and only needs changes at the endpoints. IPv6 has the chicken-and-egg problem that it only becomes usable once everyone (hosters, ISPs, core networks, home networks, web framewo

It may be counter-intuitive, but with the right cyphers, the crypto costs of SSL and SPDY are negligible.
