I know we don't have access to the OSX code in its entirety, but could one argue that they actually did change how init works in FreeBSD? And perhaps that is one of the reasons the OS is stable? It's not far to assume that the Lin

I am fairly clueless about stocks. Would you mind sharing how would one start? How much upfront cost does it require?

This is very interesting. Are you suggesting that Facebook over Tor could be a step in the wrong direction? Official NSA Facebook partnerships are for now very unlikely, but I am interested to know how Facebook over Tor could in principle s

I am in the process of agreeing to a similar arrangement but it is payed and can go on while I interview with other companies. Win win and the best part is that everything is transparent between me and the startup. This is in Germany.

A biological module need not be pointed at to be functional. You can reason about a module given its properties while simultaneously continue to look for what constitutes that module. Chomsky has argued that this module could be standing

An excellent way of putting it ekidd. Exactly what I came here to say. I work for a small startup and I am the one wearing the sysadmin hat most of the time, and every single day I imagine these disaster modes where it could cost us almost

Is someone from Heroku online here right now? My apps are all affected and since I am trusting Heroku with this, I am hoping they patch the system as soon as possible.

Depends where you are, and I am guessing the EU, since I came back from vacation from the US back to Germany and I was treated with lots of warnings, especially from the BBC.

Very impressive results with the new GC for symbols. Of 100,000 created, a `GC.start` got them down to about 2000.

It really isn't. They mentioned Rails because it will be the biggest winner from their new GC that also collects symbols (Rails is a heavy user of symbols). No harm in mentioning some of the beneficiaries of the change, as long as that

Docker are doing nothing new. There are few million to a billion dollar open source businesses out there (Red Hat is leading).

I can testify that this (systematically alternating between school and work throughout your undergraduate studies) makes you a better engineer. I learned about it when I moved to Germany, and it shows in some of my colleagues who chose to d

Of equal importance to HN readers is work by both Ibn Khaldun [1] and Ibn Rushd (Latinized as Averroes) [2]. There are more accessible to Western readers, as both were champions of Aristotelian (analytic) philosophy. Ibn Khaldun is rightly

I think its a smart decision, given the nature of the product. An off time of 14 minutes on a Saturday very early morning is a price they were willing to pay to make this a one time operation with no (actually reduced) risks of losing data

No one is hand-waving. "Yet space, time, and causality cannot be proven to be empirically real themselves". This is akin to mathematical axioms that escape proof within a formal system. Of course one can debate whether

That quote is anything but naive. Its basically a rephrasing of the findings of Kurl Godel, and I am not sure anyone would call that naive.

We used this back when I worked in Brazil. Liquibase is fine and solved some of our problems keeping schema migrations in sync across developers, but I remember it lacked some essential features such as syntax correction. I remember I wrote

Dijkstra is right, and this has been a standard problem in philosophy and logic. Only when one considers programming to be some new endeavor divorced from its logical roots that this problem seems new and puzzling. For more, check Russell&#

Books that build on foundational axioms and go on to prove or derive theses/theorems out of them are helpful in your case, since they show you proof construction in action. Pick a classic, something that everyone is familiar with but a
