I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but many people feel that "millennials" is an overused term in the media by journalists that either don't have a deep grasp of the subject or are just trying to get clicks. O

Either I don't get most of the koans or they are intended to disparage git's UX instead of truly enlighten. Is the joke just going over my head or am I not thinking hard enough?

Yep, the two products are even written in separate languages! Bitbucket Server is written in Java and bitbucket.org is written in Python. I was dumbfounded when I found out they were two separate codebases.

I completely agree with you on the difficulty of truly anonymizing data. I do wonder if there any holes in this idea though: What if they released the data the number of cars per hour per segment of road (a segment meaning a continuous piec

My modern take on that is to freeze the half onion, then toss it in the pressure cooker when I have enough chicken bones to make chicken stock :)

How would you define risk free investments? Buying Walmart stock and holding it for a decade? Buying a house and renting it out? Lobbying for preferential treatment for a business/sector you have a large stake in? The latter is obvious

Women aren't allowed to drive in, e.g. Saudi Arabia, because they aren't allowed to be out of their home without a blood relative or husband. That could lead to mingling with the opposite sex or something like that. “What would ha

Nitpick: Moore's Law is about the transistor density, not clock speed. So while clock speed increases slowed down around 2005, transistor density kept marching[1]. The extra transistors just went to bigger caches, more parallelism, and

I like your Travis CI setup, I may copy it myself. Here's the workflow I currently use if the OP wants something with less moving parts. I just use s3_website from the command line. It will even create the s3/cloudfront configurat

I believe each individual network calls them at their own discretion. It's not an official "call" by the government or anything. As to why so early, they have enough confidence in exit polls and other previous polls to say th

I used to use tools like that (tummy, teamocil, etc) but I've since discovered tmux-resurrect. It persists tmux sessions, windows, panes, and a whitelist of non-destructive commands like vim and top across reboots. Now my tmux sessions

I wonder why they didn't mention vaselgel [1]. When I first heard about it a couple years ago it was pitched as an injection of $0.10 of chemicals into the vas deferens that would block sperm from traveling through it. They were hoping

I have no information one way or the other, but maybe the issue isn't that angular can do it, but that angular does do it. So any extension using angular is vulnerable by default.

No, he's saying HFT are great and should be kept because they are a net gain for society. They lower spreads and take margins away from the huge players. So much so, that the big players are lobbying for taxes like this to make HFT les

Some of the requirements they list are pretty unique to github since they serve .git to git clients as well as http to http clients (which is what most SaaS companies do). Like a very long running git clone from someone with slow internet n
