Instead of dropping or merging the article, put a list (or link to a list) of "previous postings" somewhere very prominently on the page.

It's a frame of mind, influenced by his environment. I'm inclined to agree.

The tabloid and flamebait techniques can, unfortunately, be effectively employed while remaining entirely within the hacker's topics of interest. I'll spare the naming of specific blogs or yc submissions...

I would have said that this is more of a case of great automated emergency systems doing their job, but considering that his ejection seat never even deployed and he still made it - that's some luck.

I don't think you intended for that comment to make me laugh so hard, but good job either way.

Perhaps it could be added that submitters shouldn't submit "flamebait" - eg. titles/articles that will elicit very predictable, emotionally charged responses, or have borderline lying titles. In short, not tabloid material; which some other

The measured traffic is mostly of the networking variety. So here's my theory/observation: Guys use these sites heavily until they find a girl (with or without the help of these apps.) Then, their usage drops off considerably. Girls use the

If the whole interview was like this then the article blows this way out of proportion.

The problem with his argument is that other forms of engineering are not necessarily "engineerized" any more than with software.

by tim2 19y ago
Well then electrical engineering and even some projects in mechanical engineering are not engineering either.... In nearly all forms of engineering, it can be far to tell exactly how close to completion you are. And there are no qualitative

If you have a folder full of media files (jpg|mp3|avi) then zip is going to waste a lot of time and CPU cycles over just tar-ing it all up. Other than that, I've just used tar directly in some edge-cases to fit within some constraints.

1) I can have a terrible attitude! Keep in mind though that this can be a great way for some people get things done:) 2) If it's detailed enough, it can be extremely valuable.

Yeah, I'd try this. Failing that, you'd be running on inspiration alone, so I'd start my own project.

On the other hand. Just de-normalizing ahead of time can really save you on code complexity and is usually the highest performance setup. So I would say, de-normalize ahead of time and if you find you have performance problems then normal

Where to start.. For one, while we're on this denormalization topic, postgresql refuses to use indexes sanely when I run queries against views. Heck, I don't see why postgresql even has views if they can't really be used. Yes, I am complain

Real, successful sites do make multiple versions for mobile and regular browsing. If neither of those work for you then you are a rounding error on a rounding error that's ignored. Regardless, use of tables means absolutely jack * as to w
