Seems like it's stating the obvious, then it says "One other thing that can be used in negotiations is neuro-linguistic programming..." ISTM the comments here have more value than the article (thanks, commenters).

Exactly this. I'm fine with people posting their own stuff but I want to know .

Is this within HN rules to post sales pitches, esp. by HN members, at least without being very clear about it?

Brit here: I think it is in the US interests, depending (and trump thinks in very simple ways). If the UK splits hard from the EU, it can (supposedly) be persuaded to accept US standards of food etc. Europe is also weakened by losing a majo

Is it in any sense a useful order though? You can assign any order to any set of objects, but you'd want it to be useful. A hash - the more hash-ey it is, the less the order means AFAICS.

Disk. Though btrees are friendly to cpu caches too, but really it's about minimising disk accesses.

Agreed. The giggling-schoolboy attitude whenever sex is mentioned just has to die.

My mistake. The OP had the story you refer to. I was referring to the main story, which did have the phrase "shooting up in every city in the United States" which is unfortunately close. Apologies.

"I use ad data to try to save their lives" whether they ask for it or not. That's not noble, that's more like controlling behaviour. Assuming this story is true, anyway.

"The hardback is a mark of quality" I disagree. A major mark of quality (other than the writing) is the paper it's printed on, and the publishers often pick the poor, yellowing, easy-tearing newsprint paper, almost newsprint

I agree there's a problem with pirates in some parts of the world. Source: I used to work in this area. I recall a shipping lane chart that showed large carriers making a wide swing around and away from somalia. Ships can be obscenely

Agreed! There's a lot of moaning about how things should be better. Be the change you want to see. Do it. I'm always amazed at how people will complain but then let themselves be pushed around. I wonder how many people reading thi

I suppose the key to this is in the last line - you're implying something that doesn't wait is better. That'd be actors; your creation, yes? :) But out of interest, the syncing that you apparently dislike but which actors sid

I'm rather surprised at the claim that "but it might easily execute 7 billion instructions per second on a single core". I'd even question it except the author's an expert. If you can keep it fed then ok but one cac

Worth responding to blatant troll to point out it's not about performance but performance by price for 99% of uses.
