Sell any NYT stock you are holding. Nate was one of the last honest things at the increasingly craven, frumpy NYT, where Occupy didn't merit coverage until the third month, and the Iraq war got the greased-rails treatment. Don't f

Let us compare: World's premier closed-source shop: (presumably) gets hacked; goes down; stays down. Github, Rubygems, Linux Kernel, etc. get hacked; restore from SHA256SUM'ed backups; keep moving. Turns out what used to be called

TL;DR "White folks attack wrong devil, again. Lots of black folks dead or suffering, again." It isn't science that's racist. What's racist is the thousands of brilliant minds that took THIS LONG to look in the rig

It wasn't in the article -- the past few years have been disruptive in the social sciences because of multiple replicated studies that show stress, including poverty stress (which is a well-quantified phenomenon) have a profound impact

Looks really cool. Too bad SoundBrush is already the name of Roland's app for their 'GS' MIDI extension. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_GS (Not that most people would notice.)

Also, just to clarify: good user interfaces are tested . Their creators collect empirical data . This is what separates visual design from UX. UX (user experience) is testable , and you can get hard data, distribution curves, and confide

In all seriousness -- don't. At least, not unless you have a major website to design. There are just too many excellent ready-made options these days. Instead, hire a usability expert. Usability is what actually gets you returning busi

I'm a web dev. My clients aren't willing to have websites that tell (potentially locked-down) visitors to contact their system administrators, but my clients are willing to have websites that offer a painless, almost invisible up

I've mostly seen graph theory algos in 'algorithm encyclopedias' aimed at ~300-level undergrads. But the best, cheapest place to start is probably Wikipedia. As you probably know, the most important result in graph theory (fo

I've recently discovered livescript (livescript.net), a puckishly named coffee-script-inspired transpiler for node. Its syntax captures some of the best of Haskell, without going down the 'HaskellScript' route followed by e.g. Fay (which I

Ha! The site isn't loading. So much for Azure. Gee, I hope this thing doesn't, like, you know, require a 24/7 net connection. http://i.imgur.com/9ycXs5y.png

Wow, this is awesome. dtrace4linux still tanks my box. systemtap is more like systemthwack. We need this, folks. You might not be familiar with dtrace, but trust me, you need it.

I have a background in ethics and law so I've seen too much to make apologies for being suspicious. :) In fact, this sort of suspicion is a good reason NOT to establish a track record of litigating away freedom of speech (as VMWare notorio

Sorry, to clarify -- I was suggesting that it was possible that VMWare (a sponsor of Redis, correct?) leaned on someone. I didn't mean to besmirch you or redis, antirez, and I enjoyed your response. It wouldn't be the first time a reputable

Yes, they did -- I saw them do so. There were several, in fact. And then they were gone. You've been robbed?

I'm frustrated that when the HN editors deduped the original story, they apparently deleted ALL the instances, leaving only this one. I wanted to read the discussion on the subject of Aphyr's research, not Antirez' response. It looks bad, H

I'm about to install and answer my own question, but what is the difference between this and, say, supermin + lxc? Or just supermin.

I really like the way the dependency format is basically a monad, but they don't call it a monad so devs won't get scared :)

Going to sacrifice the Karma to say: I didn't know Europe was out of alpha. They seem to be experiencing integration bugs. I knew we should have unit-tested Greece.

The mistake made here is the assumption that we know what the web is evolving towards: (ostensibly) something like the desktop. Hence the eagerness to do it all again but on the web this time. (Isn't that the essence of Cappuccino?) It woul

Which IE? The F12 dev tools aren't as nice as Chrome's or Firefox', but they get the job done. It's IE6 and IE7 (before the dev tools arrived in IE8) that make me want to put kittens in the juicer. For IE<8 there's a JavaScript (oops,

So what we have here is a presently-closed-source, linux-only implementation of closure copying, which is a tiny part of Nix, which is the platform-agnostic package manager behind the elegant NixOS (nixos.org). Or is there something I'm not

I think that a lot of the kurfuffle viz. trek's response is a forum cultural shear. Trek's site is on Discourse, which has its own stricter rules of engagement that supercede those of the broader FOSS community. The rules on Discourse are
