Yeah, that doesn't seem like the sort of thing anyone reasonable would do.

This is a big deal.

Having a third party candidate be a real possibility in a non-FPTP voting system would ensure that there was an escape valve if a party moved too far from the center, right? So it would be strongly motivated not to?

Sentry is outstanding for this! There's an open source self hosted version available too.

Why wouldn't you put a passphrase on your key?! An agent, and especially keychain support, removes almost all the inconvenience, and it adds a tremendous amount of security.

Also, doesn't include electricity, cooling, data center space, all of which might be significant?

_This_ is the right path. Dig as deep as you need. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. So many people just randomly fear the 'magic' of the lower levels.

Wonder if you can use something like this: http://elinux.org/Test_Lab_Architecture to test on someone else's hardware?

It'd be really neat to see an amazon lambda serverless version of this.

Hey, any chance we could get 3 character docker ids? I'm smw on twitter, github, hn, reddit. Would love to not have to be 'smw0' on the Docker hub?

Control-a is 'beginning of line'. Why would you possibly pick that?

I had a similar thought for a long time, but then after watching a coworker I was convinced to give it a try. I multitask a lot with multiple terminal windows, and what tmux buys you is similar to a tiling window manager with multiple deskt

A more interesting question is how it compares to OpenStack, no?

Yes! Please, for the love of all that is holy, please quit writing tools that make me write code in something that isn't a general purpose programming language! Didn't we learn from Ant and xml? I really want to see a clojure&#

Yes

What a strange argument. The difference is that clojure is about as extensible a language as it's possible to have. A macro system in a homoiconic language allows you to implement many types of semantic sugar or things that would be f

You're making the same exact mistake that the guy who decided ant should use xml as a programming language did. As soon as you need loops, conditionals, subroutines -- which are all very common when writing tests -- you're making

Using ` as my bind (no modifier) has been the best thing that's ever happened to my productivity in tmux.

There are so few places on the web to have intelligent, calm conversations with interesting people about tough subjects. I find it sad that HN seems to want to steer clear of addressing them, especially because I think the site attracts th

Agreed. Put 8.1.1 on iPad 2 last night. It's quite snappy. I'm not sure where this legend comes from?

It seems that many people believe that there's a way to immigrate into this country for 'normal' people. This infographic from Reason Magazine, of all places, is fairly accurate and quite enlightening: http://www.o

"Traditional" cable, even digital cable, is broadcast, not streamed. There are no acks to be sent, a consumer endpoint just tunes to a channel and reads transport stream [1] video off the wire. [1] http://en.wikipedia.

Having to interview a number of people for development jobs at various points of my life, I found that one of the most valuable questions I asked was "What is a pointer?". My best guess is that at least 60-70% of the people I inte

That's really useful in itself, but no, I mean something that lets you read the actual OpenGl spec with the extension text patched in. If you skim the text of an extension [1], you'll see an awful lot of this: > Add a new sect

* GL extensions are written as diffs vs the official spec So if you're not a OpenGL Specification Expert it can be extremely difficult to understand some/many extensions. This is spot on. I was thinking last week abou
