This is the perfect example of a result that arises when people disconnected from the internet think "OK, what can we do against piracy? Wait, piracy is a crime, and the best thing we can do to reduce crime is education. So why not educate

I very much like Go's approach to static typing. Go allowed me to retain the flexibility and ease of development that Ruby and friends provide, even though the output is fully statically typed. It's great!

This is awesome. I have had third-party cookies disabled in Chrome for a long time now, and I rarely experienced any issues with embeds (Disqus being the noteworthy exception). While Idespise third-party tracking embeds in general, they hav

> get 16GB of ram for it and be happy for the rest of your life Seconded. This is the most awesome thing ever. If you like your workstation getting out of the way, this is like deactivating the light filters in Sunshine (2007).

What's different (from a quick look at ronin) is that this actually runs the assembled code within the currently running ruby interpreter . That's a lot more than a DSL for creating assembly.

This reminds me of a talk about Evolution of Code at Facebook [1]. One of the first architectural restructurings (and still the major driving factor behind later changes) was the switch from sequential memcache_get to parallel memcache_mult

Please raise the text/background contrast. It's absurdly low and hard to read.

Strictly speaking, this redirects its stdin to EtherPad. If you pipe something into it, the first command's stdout will become this script's stdin.

To round this up, we Germans just got evened out ;) In the men's team semi final, Peter Joppich fought the final match against Yūki Ōta. In the extended time, Joppich scored a single hit which was apparently not counted because Joppich obsc

Yes, the real failure in this case is not technical, but social. Especially that they forced her to stay on scene during the entire decision process.

No problem. My guess is that they round the displayed clock up instead of down, so 00:00 automatically means the end of the match, and any split second left shows 00:01 to let everyone know that it's not over yet.

> Lam led with one second left on the clock That's also not strictly speaking true. The match was even at this point. Lam had previously been selected by /lottery/ to win in the case of an even standing at the end of the one-minute-long

That is wrong. Maybe the current client implementation cannot do this, but the open block chain allows one to exactly see where a coin originated (i.e. whether is is Canadian or not). Alternative implementations could then be told to specif
