Where do you see that it's causing issues for Heroku in eu-west-1? I have a lot of dynos in that region and I don't see any issues

They will never be able to move Heroku of AWS. Their customers depend on being on the same cloud as other service providers

This is "just" a press release made by As You Sow in its un-edited form. This doesn't necessarily make it claim invalid, but just remember that no journalist have been involved here. It is also weird that As You Sow hasn&#x27

For a long time I just used Chrome - because why not? It's an awesome browser, especially when you are a web developer. But I was always annoyed about the fan on my MacBook Air mid 2011 spinning all the time - but I didn't connect

No I know it's not even close. I might be foolish and I might mix up some numbers (here it's closer to 50 than 30 years) - but when reading papers like this I can't help feeling slightly optimistic: http://www.nick

Watson is what I think is called ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence). There is a lot of things we need to figure out to move from a narrow intelligence to a general intelligence (AGI) and then (quickly) to a super intelligence (ASI). The b

I've been interested in AI for a long time. But the last year AI discussions seem to have really hit mainstream, which we can also see here on Hacker News with a lot of posts about deep learning etc. Lately I read this two piece story

If you want to watch the video without having to install Flash, just replace "www" with "m" - Not the best video quality since it's optimised for mobile, but a nice productivity tip for Safari users ;)

Based on the way you wrote this I get the understanding that the US system differentiates between jail and prison? In that case what's the difference?

One weird thing that I've discovered is that there seem to be no correlation between who I consider a great hacker and how many followers they have in top 10k. For instance maxogden [1] and mafintosh [2] are both in top 1k but have onl

I've got 4999 requests remaining now, so I should be fine for a while again. Go easy on her ;) If anyone knows if there's a way to increase this number please let me know :)

Ok, so apparently I've exceeded the GitHub API rate limit - Trying to fix it ;)

I don't know about libxml, but normally you'd not need to do any I/O once you've gotten hold of the raw HTML - so there should be no need for callbacks. E.g. with cheerio you can parse HTML synchronously.

He depends on the module named libxmljs, which contain the C code: https://github.com/polotek/libxmljs

by watson 12y ago
He already uses libxml, so cheerio or jsdom would be alternatives. It's true that cheerio it self have 5 direct dependencies and I'm not sure if that is what he refers to when using the word "lightweight". I can't s

I'm interested to hear what you think is problematic when building a web crawler in regards to dependencies? Is it specific to the DOM parsing?

by watson 12y ago
I didn't look at what could be taken out - I was just reflecting on the "no dependencies" thing. But you might be right... maybe it's as bare bone as need be. Also I might be coloured by some folks avoiding dependencies
111.
by watson 12y ago
I'm puzzled why the author highlights "Lightweight: no dependencies" as a strength - in node.js land this is not the case in my opinion. I'm happy to hear people's view on this

Loved the game! Played it again just a few years ago in an emulator. P.s. Am I the only one who have trouble hearing the audio?

Even the GitHub link in the footer doesn't lead me to a helpfull location. I'm just taken to a GitHub organization with 6 repos - which one is it?

Why would it make sense to have a "Download from Github" button instead of a "View me on GitHub" button or something? It of cause makes sense for closed source software, but being open source it invites in people who at

If you are not into the electronics and want to skip ahead to the software disassembling you can go directly to video no. 2 on the playlist. He goes through a fairly textbook "skip password check" hack :)

I'm sorry about that this needs to be translated - This is from the Danish newspaper Politiken. I tried to find a source in English, but since this is so new I guess it's just not picked up yet
