If you read the paper you'll find this: > In our experiments, we observed five out of the six expected failure types, including bit corruption, shorn writes, unserializ- able writes, metadata corruption, and dead device. Surprisingl

I've learned a lot on HN, and I think learning is important, ergo I think HN is important. Which is why I have a backup of it in case this happens again.

Because quality datasets are hard to get. E.g. on reddit you would just get cats and memes.

Did you manage to download the whole database that way? Edit: Also, why didn't you use the "start" (offset) parameter?

The RAM itself isn't much more expensive, but if you're trying to build a cheap Intel computer then it will get much more expensive with ECC, since there are no cheap Intel CPU/mobos with ECC.

I also had a double disk failure on my Hetzner server quite recently. The server didn't respond, and when I hardware reset it began rebuilding the RAID, but it didn't say which disk failed. It happened again very shortly. Hetzner

To get an accurate number of the duration of a visit you'd have to make a ajax request every second or so, or somehow make a request whenever the user closes the tab. Also, you need to measure if the tab loses focus. To get even more accura

Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS. Standard EBS gives around 100 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second). With PIOP you can get more if you pay more.

They didn't say they rebooted any devices. They said that they didn't make the binary persist through reboots. They probably installed their binary in /tmp/ or similar which would get wiped if the device happened to reboot.

How is this different from having your own fork?

A closed source project (as it is as of right now) can ONLY focus on the "slower Python part", as it is the ONLY way of extending Sublime Text. I really can't see how open sourcing ST would make it slower. If I wanted to extend it in a way

Nice! I like how it shows all the vital information in very little space. I've been using nmon for a while, which has some interesting features like graphing, but doesn't utilize all the screen space very well.

Another one I recommend, because it starts with codegen and works its way back: Writing a compiler in Ruby, bottom up: http://www.hokstad.com/compiler

I would like to recommend the LLVM tutorial too: http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/LangImpl1.html It takes you from zero to codegen in a few tutorials, using Recursive Descent Parsing and Operator-Precedence Parsing.

Another reason is explained on the website: "Currently NaClBox is using far more CPU than it should. This is because the current version of SDL for Native Client has a bug that will crash the browser when you navigate away from it. To avo

Problem with not testing your "micro-commits" is that when someone is looking at old revisions to figure out where something went wrong, there is a chance that it won't compile, or will crash because you didn't test that exact commit.

The problem is that if you do a partial commit, you have to test that it works. You may have forgotten to add one line, etc. One way to do this is to use "git stash save --keep-index", after patching. Then you can test that your program wor

This is why we should read man pages: man assert: "This may create Heisenbugs which go away when debugging is turned on."

That's life for reverse engineered stuff. If you don't really know what a function does, how do you name it?

I tried that, but it didn't look good. I used to use antialiased fonts, but switched to Terminus to get a lot more info on the screen. I tried making all of the antialiased fonts in the article smaller, but then they lost their good looks.
