I understand that as a feeling, but I can't logically justify it. What reason did he have to trust in the system to treat him fairly? The rightness of the programs he exposed, and our right to know about them, don't depend on whet

I don't have to make any of those choices with Backblaze.

Sex isn't just a biological impulse. Many couples feel that it's important to their bond. One might respond more reductively with "why does the biological need for oxytocin to maintain intimacy get a pass" or somesuch, b

I think the series of < 6 month stints at various jobs indicates he's comfortable changing direction early if he's not happy with the situation. But it does seem likely that press like this will provide access to funding that a

This is an awesome board for embedded development. Not as powerful or I/O rich as the Beaglebone Black, but add $6 worth of CAN transceiver chips and a 12V->5V switching power supply and you've got an incredibly powerful automo

The Chinese authorities are preventing their citizens from reading things they find counter to their aims. You don't have to create this false equivalence to find both actions undesirable.

Driving through some of the more mansion-laden neighborhoods (Buckhead on e.g. Habersham Drive), you'll see signs near the curb saying things like "IRRIGATION WATER DRAWN FROM WELL". I presume those were meant to discourage t

Not links. Requests. PhantomJS is a scriptable browser, as a second of googling will tell you.

Without injection, their own ad network is irrelevant. Nobody (more or less) is getting on Free AT&T Wi-Fi to visit AT&T's websites. Without injection, any ad revenue goes to the actual site operators.

How are the people who are not born going to pay the currently existing for their use of infrastructure you suggest we wholly pay for now?

That may be true. You could make that kind of comparison about a lot of the human rights we enjoy vs. the benefits of their absence. In this case, there doesn't seem to be any obvious connection. How does silencing political speech pre

I was doing sysadmin the "right way" a long, long time ago, and I don't see much difference. Maybe the author regularly does full audits of the source code of every package he downloads, and of course disassembles every execu

Clojure doesn't use InvokeDynamic and, AFAIK, has no plans to do so.

So you need something other than IP checksums, and whatever error correction is also operating in the layers below it?

That may mean that the population doesn't really support those conflicts. There's a term for the government following the wishes of the population, what is it...

I think you might have that concept backwards. Danegeld was payment to "terrorists" presumably arrived at through the pragmatic notion that paying for protection was better than being dead.

She could say that all humans should be forcibly rendered sterile before puberty and it still wouldn't be hurting anybody. It's a terrible idea, of course, and I don't much care for it.

The life of a data frame has become pretty complicated. Along the way it may pass through one or more layers of virtualization, one or more layers of network-specific mangling like iptables doing filtering and NAT, and a combo of the two in

They do run Linux...in a VM. What's wrong with that?

You don't need to be using serializable isolation to face blocking or deadlocks. So-called "deadlocks" really aren't that bad when they are detected and all but one of the competing transactions are failed. You just catc

Every one of hp's posts in this thread have been informative. Many of them were written as responses to cries arising from the mob with pitchforks and torches, but that doesn't reduce their utility. Given that both the original ar

I'd much prefer 500GB for the same price that I can use to share our collected documents with one or two people in my immediate family without having to pay for the same space again for each of them. Dropbox for Business is too expensi

Look on the bright side; it's good news for the people with the content-creation skills. It isn't as though the ever-increasing complexity of software has had a negative effect on the industry.

My Clojure app originally written to run on EB worked with no issues. The problem was with an old, sprawling "monorail" Rails app that needed a very specific system configuration, including running a daemon or two in addition to t

This is excellent news. I have a rather complicated app which I fought tooth and nail to get working on Elastic Beanstalk. The provisioning scripts were just too buggy, undocumented, and full of bad assumptions. I have a couple of apps runn
