See some of the other answers. The memristor is not a chip, but the 4th fundamental electrical component; the chip is a hybrid memory/storage chip using memristors (instead of platters or capacitors). Because of its nature it demands a

I don't like being advertised to or manipulated, and by studying market segments they often try to "fit me" into certain profiles (good luck with that). I've already gotten spam emails because my data was sold that didn&

They're one of the largest, most secretive data brokers out there. That's why. A lot of data passes through them and out to many other parties.

Interesting, they discuss both Opt-Out and Removal of your information. They explain about the Opt-Out process, but mention nothing about how to get your information removed. Anyone have an idea on how to get your info removed or if the o

Don't forget that HN has CloudFlare caching enabled. It might not be vote suppression but cache freshness that prevents you from seeing the upvote immediately.

There is no supposition about tyranny here. It used to be that the GPLv2 allowed use of libraries in applications so long as any adjustments to the library contributed back to the project. This was fair and reasonable, even when working on

I don't use GPL libraries because of the tyrannical copy-left clause. If I want to GPL mine, then I'll make that choice. But I won't use a single library that'll force me to choose GPL—I'll just write/find a re

Lots of these themes include 3 menus. And Wordpress menus are notoriously query heavy. That's why a lot of sites have caching—not because the page is large, but because the menus take so long to load.

Irrelevant how? I doubt BlueHost, HostGator, Dreamhost, etc, and on and on will have implemented HHVM as their core PHP offering by then. Most web hosts still have PHP 5.3 installed, and even the PHP 5.4 I've used on Media Temple'

Give it a year or two. Seriously! 5.5 was just released a little while ago and 5.6 is just in beta now.

Good news, any idea which version this will be included in? I know PHP 5.6 is already in beta, so I'd assume this'll be PHP 5.7, but this is really good news. We have some sites that are just begging for an actual 10-30% increase

It would be so different I'm sure that it has a chance to succeed, but it wouldn't necessarily be easy to get started. I'm thinking mainly about the difficulty in forming contacts, etc.

Sounds like this is "the most random hash function" rather than a random number generator, as I first thought. I wonder how well it'll stand up to scrutiny.

I believe so, yes. It often provides a certificate with the configuration settings. Many screen sharing and remote access tools use some form of TLS/SSL too.

I was treated similarly and subsequently labeled a "spammer" in his issue tracker, because I pointed out that OpenCart's password hashing is woefully inadequate.

Hack extends the PHP syntax with type hints which are required (I think). So any Hack scripts are incompatible with PHP, starting with the `<?hh` tag and moving on from there. Technically HHVM can run projects that are a mix of PHP/

Now I feel silly for having glossed over the control characters since I was a kid. Those characters are decidedly useful on a machine level, though the benefit of CSV/TSV is that it's human friendly.

If you archive disks like this, you need to run software like SpinRite on them ever so often to maintain them. I'd suggest that you do it every time you update your archive on the disks.

I doubt that. Akami runs a CDN. It's likely something built into Ubuntu. But if you want to block it, just put this in your hosts file: 127.0.0.1 a23-57-235-27.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com
