It was smaller scale but really polished. The content was more complete in NYC where SF was just making announcements of really alpha products. (I spoke at both and can say my own talk got a lot better).

I'll let it rest here as I'm sure you've thought much longer than I have but I do feel it a bit unfair to assume it's always the spammers submitting content when the domain is shared. https://twitter.com/#!/FrankDenbow/status/1281449166552

Simply killing submissions and relying on a lesser known profile switch on the users end is pretty indirect if not obscure. The submitter should be able to lobby to get something unblocked and to do that they need to know what happened in t

I think it's more about informing the person submitting. Most people who hear about this are surprised and had no idea. It might be solving the problem of transparency from the wrong end.

by strmpnk 15y ago
A fair argument, but I don't see how excluding content without transparency is any better. At the very least you could let people know why or what is happening when something is submitted. Not all communities need to overlap and it's HN's d

Nodejitsu's blog is the example I was referring too. Edit: submissions will silently be hidden. Following the link below brings me to a blank page. Also nothing on the new tab.

First easy test I posted was a link to a domain that gets blocked here (legit content). While it's just a tech demo site, I hope it will turn into an experiment for new ideas, particularly with the right balance between Y-combinator startup

It works for me using Chrome beta v15 on OS X Lion.

I think it depends largely on the pair of devices. Both the cells and the local device need to support higher speeds. Here in NYC I have tested 3 HSPA+ devices and only one of them gets close to 14.4Mbps on AT&T (probably due to radio d

It's not Ryan's passion I'm critical about. It's the fact that he's blasting anyone who doesn't fit in his view of right as "you don't understand how fucked the whole thing is." That's quite an ego to assume anyone who doesn't agree must be

While I sympathize with the general frustration, this sort of rant gets us nowhere. It's sad to see such a brilliant mind lost in rage. Systems programming has always been the code that most people won't tackle because the problems are ugly

The problem wasn't intrinsic to coroutines as much as it was the way they made the event loop reentrant which is a horribly complex thing to track. In most cases like that you'd either suspend the loop or have coroutine local event loops. O

Reference counting has plenty of instruction specific atomic operations on common processors in use today (and no, GC routines need write barriers in most cases that atomic counting is needed). But you're right, it's tricky, but that's why
316.
by strmpnk 15y ago
I don't see how the concurrency claim makes any sense. Many concurrency primitives revolve around counts (for example, a semaphore). Likewise, GC may be able to deal with messy situations (ones that I'd advise you avoid anyway), but brings

(I'd upvote you more but we're in the minority.) I wish people would read about REST [0] before they use the term. Proper use of HTTP is only one prerequisite of an REST over HTTP implementation. [0]: http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/res

I remember how many times Darwin/MacPorts didn't work when installing that package... Of course it looks sorted now but it was a tricky process for many years, ensuring the right order of package installation to get certain features to work

Very well done. The last few revisions has basically turned v2 into my full-time editor for most code. I still found myself reaching for vim so it's nice to have some more key parity between the two now.

While I haven't used this UI and I think it's bulky and ugly, there is one important thing to note that I think people miss on first pass. Typical use based on their research has used the context menu. On Windows that is typically a right c

You have to wonder at what point the speed test server itself becomes the bottleneck. I bet the connection is actually faster and I'd try running a few of these simultaneously to different locations.

After seeing this I installed Windows (shocking, I haven't used Windows since Windows 2000) and installed the express SDK to check it out. I have to admit I'm actually liking what's there. While I didn't quite have my webOS apps ready to be

... and magically breaking 10 years of web applications is also a big MUST NOT. Why else would the spec itself dedicate an entire paragraph and add two response codes just for legacy cases? The article, if you read it, also explains why. Al

I would wonder what the proper thing to do in this case is anyhow. As a user I'd hope I'd not be asked with a random interface to repost when some background JS runs XHR asynchronous from my interaction. That's obviously not workable. In th

If only all legal battles could be solved with an old-fashion duel. Even better, lets make the lawyers fight to the death. Solves both the legal side and serves as a nice control of the lawyer population... More seriously, I really hope tha

What's the point of locking yourself to a bytecode when Lua code JITs just fine on LuaJIT? Lua is a great language and this looks like another alternative. I doubt we're looking at exclusion here.

At least with a finite number of arcs and lines... true of anything I guess. Very interesting as it might be for lovers of flat paper, I wonder if this is true of all topologies. I'd guess not but I'm not mathematician.

That's the technical side of the battle. I think lots of people are just waking up to the idea that the database doesn't have to be a tier. It's not natural for data that needs to be addressed all at once but it does become useful for small

It took awhile to warm up to but I think I'll be finally purchasing my license once the next update rolls along.

True but vulnerabilities are only as viable as they are economical to execute. The effort isn't very high but the yield is proportionately low as well.
