The deeper incompatibility is between open-core and non-profit. There's a sort of "embrace, extend, extinguish" type of rivalry between the open elements and that which is closed. You generally end up with fairly vital or sig

Anti does not mean, never has meant and never will mean bad. It means against. Dys means bad.

Sometimes. Othertimes do simplest thing that will most simplify similar tasks in the future.

HN seems generally level headed, although there seem to be a few more acerbic comments than there used to be.

That's fucking terrible. A compressed log file can be implemented with append only writes. A hash validating defragmenter can be implemented in case the compression tree becomes too lopsided. (It's a log file, if it's not sma

We keep going on about this as if it's in any way different from every other situation where we've benefited significantly from an abstraction from the underlying machine. But reflecting the underlying machine was not just a compl

> There is an everyday meaning of “race”, yes. mostly about skin pigmentation, eye shape, bone shape. Things like that. So why do I mention the pseudo-scientific connection? Because “race-mixing” implies that different “races” breeding i

There have always been latent bugs in CPUs, beyond a degree of complexity it pretty much becomes a certainty. One of the fundamentals of selling shit profitably, is that you try to sell the vast majority of what you make, one of the consequ

He's picking holes in example code. Example code will often tell you how to do a thing, and not why to do that thing. And he argues that it's not a straw man.

The only thing that this proves is that the humanities have science by the balls.

Races exist. I can't believe that I'm even saying that. They're not a social construct. Nor are the sexes. Human beings are a single species with a large number of branches allowing them to survive localised environmental nic

It's not the travelling salesman - as per the description it's an unweighted graph. This reduces the problem from finding the shortest hamiltonian cycle to finding any such cycle.

I think the complexity of the problem is such that even a lot of lecturers don't really understand it. I remember in one lecture where the dude drew an unweighted graph on the board, claiming it to be in NP. But he'd already prove

If you want blob support, you'd probably need to introduce format specific understanding of file structures. You'd also need for the blob encoder to be exceptionally stable - if minor changes to the input lead to significant chang

Lazy and clever can be very useful; sit around thinking about the potential break-down of a problem into aspects that generalise broadly and those specific to the work being done. Spend the time that needs to be spent implementing the gener

Wizards of the Coast is Hasbro's golden goose, and they're cooking the damned thing for the sake of short term gain.

> Political just means it’s a socially invented question Not necessarily; the question itself can be apolitical, with the answers being subject to the political lens of the individual.

Communication turns to shit either way. When I was dealing with a micromanager I just stopped letting him know what I was actually doing - because bothering to communicate with him only ever made my job harder than it needed to be. As an ex

I think that the assumption is more along the lines that the cost of losing the Linode brand is lower than the value that can be built from brand awareness around Akamai. As long as they don't change the nature of the service, they mig

They're claiming to have made breakthroughs in several encryption technologies, not that they've figured out a clever way to glue some things together. I could be wrong, but it smells like snake oil to me.

Hold your hand up and look at it, now (without moving your hand) look at the wall (or whatever else) beyond it. You'll perceive your hand in two different places - when it obviously isn't, because what you're perceiving is no
