It is quite a common theme on HN that actual infrastructure people speak up against Intel ME. (for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15796392 ) The tone is always along the lines: The advantages of ME for server

Maybe you could unite with other infrastructure people to speak up? See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15796691

Maybe there are cultural differences between Europe and the US. "Right extremists" might be simply different here. In most European countries, right extremists call for a strong (nationalist) state and authoritarian structures, wh

Maybe this is easier to understand when looking across the borders, to the extremists. Here in Germany I often hear the phrase: "Left extremists set fire to cars, right extremists set fire to people." Of course this is oversimplif

Even more ironic is using a database for static content at all. Right now, we (as a society/industry) are unable to deploy well-known best practices of 5 years ago: https://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/EditingPublish

With all those caveats to keep in mind, and more caveats to come in the future as Facebook "evolves" ... isn't it much simpler not to subscribe to Facebook in the first place?

To be fair, it is not just that Haskell is a "high-level language", but that it is a language in the ML family of languages. ML means "Meta Language" and was specifically designed to be used to implement (other) language

I wonder how this compares to the Python ecosystem, whose standard library is also quite large. (Anyone remembers their famous "batteries-included" mantra?) Python 2 didn't have a stdlib namespace, or "package" in P

Is this sequence also part of the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS)? I didn't find it at my first attempt, because apparently one needs more items from the sequence to identify it correctly. Also, it is not clear to me w

Can't you use GitHub's integrated TravisCI for that? At least that's what I know other Free Software projects are doing.

Not sure why you are downvoted. I thought exactly the same thing after looking at the commit. As a software developer, the habit committing smaller changes has saved me a lot of time. Even more so, a clean distinction between refactorings (

Parser generators. They get better and easier to use every year (PEGs being the newest kid on the street), but we still see loads of buggy ad-hoc parsers with loops and regexes. And many of those bugs turn into actual security issues.
