You're assuming a whole lot of facts not in evidence, prosecutor.

For one thing: I'm not sure what would happen to a judge if she or he were to simply ignore the law when it came to sentencing. (Maybe someone here does.) My assumption is that they would be penalized somehow and that, in the end, the legal sentence would be applied, anyway.
Nicely written document. I was meaning to read up more on the BFP virtual machine myself.
When it comes to changing things on HN, I think something like comment collapsing would be much more helpful than de-dup (as some of the other comments mention), though I know there are extensions that help out.
This solves little. What do you think the system allocator is doing under the covers?
I haven't used either but since they're based on Haskell I would assume that currying is inherent to the language (functions are curried by default).
The expression comes from a measurement of visual acuity, the correct notation would be 20/20.
Agreed that it could be either of those things. I'm not trying to excuse criminal behavior at all, rather stating that if one puts an unauthenticated database on the internet, it's going to be compromised. For software professionals, my opinion is that to do so would be negligent.

It's probably resolved by the internal network DNS. You can do the same even with your home router.
ME is in the chipset and not the CPU[1][2]. Chances are the silicon for it is there and working, but Intel doesn't officially "support" ME with that chipset+CPU combination and supplies firmware that doesn't use it. It doesn't necessarily mean there is no ME capability that could be exploited.

IMHO "support" has become a bit of a weasel-word today, meaning everything from "it's physically impossible because the hardware doesn't even have the circuitry" to "it's all there and functional, but we just don't want you to use it". In between are things like disabled via undocumented hardware jumpers or software settings (remember how certain AMD CPUs could have extra cores "unlocked"? Same principle.) The older models without ME are the former, but I'm almost willing to bet that the latter is the case of the newer CPUs and chipsets.

I hope not, both for the reasons @ufo pointed out above (uncertainty about what kind of function you have and how many arguments are yet to be supplied), and that I find partial application (à la `bind`) to be more in line with JavaScript's typing/semantics (always returns a normal function (modulo the treatment of `this`)).

All the wrong places, as already stated. These are not the places where developers actually look. I provided some better example locations here: https://twitter.com/joepie91/status/622920351731843072

> [...] in the blog posts [...]

Certainly not there. Go look around for MongoDB tutorials from the timespan where unacknowledged writes were the default, and almost none of them remark on the 32-bits limitation.

> If you missed it, it's probably because you weren't paying attention.

Nonsense. It simply wasn't in the locations where people actually look. You can easily verify that using the Wayback Machine (and in fact, this is still mostly the case today).

> Again, there are plenty of good reasons to dislike MongoDB, but this isn't one of them, and harping on it substantially degrades your credibility.

If pointing out extremely dangerous past negligence from the MongoDB developers "degrades my credibility" in your view, then you have some very strange ways to determine credibility.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but can't you already do this with Tumblr, Wordpress or Blogger? They're Free, Open (from his description, I assume it means customizable), and Easy.
Wow, and from that article : "A similar fate has befallen Castellon airport in the east. It opened in 2011 but has not received a single flight."

Your government is pretty broken when it spends this much tax payer money to build something nobody uses. It would make for an interesting documentary to follow all of the money that went into the airport back to the source, and through all the hands that it passed.
Perhaps the de-duplicator as described in the OP could operate on posts within the same X-hour period (where X is 24-48 somewhere). I agree with you that automatically referencing previous postings of the same content would be great for older duplicates.
About that Gawker post…
It's truly the case that the bubbles will pop later than sooner as there incentive and ways to delay the inevitable. But when it does pop, you have ran out of options to catch the falling knife, so to speak.

Like forest fires, recessions are natural to capitalistic market and any attempt to prevent it only adds kindling.
During a general recession, there are fewer attractive investment opportunities. However, investment funds still exist and need to be put somewhere. It's easy for a bubble to form when too much money goes into one particular sector, but the bubble then only makes it more attractive for investment.

Housing is a traditionally safe, stable investment, and (at least in the US) large funds have been buying up homes at a huge scale for investment purposes.

I'd be glad to speculate further, but that's all it is. I can't point you to any articles on the subject.
One good resource is http://highscalability.com. It's got a number of good stories about scaling up and the architectures decisions used therein. There are also a number of articles and papers released by Google, Linkedin and Amazon that are worth reading.

One thing that I've found incredibly useful is diagramming application architectures, starting with applications you work on. That plus understanding the CAP theorem
One place a tool like this would be useful is on submission. If I post a link and something comes up that says "HEY! This was last posted 2 days ago and got 300 upvotes and had 45 comments, here's the link.", that would discourage reposting when the poster didn't know the article had been posted before.
For one thing, your scenario isn't what the government wants. The government wants to peek without the user knowing. This is the age of secret law.

For another, good security includes deniability: You can't prove a blob of random-seeming data is or isn't encrypted data, and even granting knowledge that it is, there is no way to prove there isn't more than one key to more than one set of data.
Why can you not just use the canonicalized URL to detect dupes? That is infinitely simpler than doing text analysis.

i think the sad pattern I see in a lot of these code golf implementations is the solution score is based on Lines of Code, which we already agree is a POOR representation of either complexity or simplicity.

I think it would be far more interesting to measure number of instructions to complete the objective. Though I suspect the folks familiar with assembly would run circles, perhaps you could segment by solution language?
For what it's worth, I couldn't find any information on the battery in these things. I understand these are second hand, but is the old battery replaced? For that matter, what is the quality of second-hand X200's anyways?

I would wonder whether or not the keyboard is worn down, or if the screens are still in good condition. Has anyone bought one of these that can discuss this?
On the other hand, stories which would otherwise overwhelm the front page could automatically be merged into a single aggregate entry in one slot. As the community grows and diversifies, having another level of abstraction above "story" (which on other sites is taken up by "boards" or "tags") could be useful for organizing that content without disrupting the site too much.

It works the same as any other corporate network: either custom DNS resolution on the machine (i.e. /etc/hosts), DNS resolution in the internal network, or DNS resolution on the VPN. Or, more likely, a mix of the 3.

To get to go links, you've got to be connected to Google's network (either physically, or through VPN). It's essentially the same as accessing a computer on your LAN with its host name (in which case, the router can do the DNS lookup and resolution for the internal network).

> Git is ugly and best hidden underneath GUIs

I guess I'm one of those 'very few', because every GUI and frontend I've used that tries to hide what's going on underneath has been far more cumbersome to use than the command line.

The only thing I'll use a Git GUI for is to check the history/revision graph.

On the topic of git...

For the first 6 months I used git, which was because I started a new job where it was used, I stuck almost exclusively to a coworker's wiki page, "<name>'s git cheatsheet". I remember re-cloning the repo so many times when chances are there was a way I could have fixed the mess I'd created.

I didn't know what I was doing and it was very complicated. It had a steep learning curve.

Now, some six years later, I still only use a handful of commands regularly, but really, aside from the painful-to-read man pages (they are very clear, but contain so many flags and other tidbits), I find it very simple to understand and to use. I rarely ever get confused. I'm not a big fan of `rebase` but I can see where it would have its purpose in merging feature branches back to the trunk/master (and if I can find a coworker using it in a nice, clear way, I might adopt it myself). I never use `--force` and recommend that everyone everywhere avoid it once they've pushed.

But really, and there may be some "survivor bias" involved here, I think it's a very well done system for what it does, and I am generally able to reason pretty clearly about what's going on and help others figure out what their issues are. It's quite possible that bzr/hg/darcs is a better and cleaner way of doing the same tasks, and I still have no idea about many commands and I am sure there are things that I have glossed over thinking that I understand them... but it makes sense to me; I don't like any of the GUIs (though I tend to like to "live" in the terminal as much as possible, I've seen things I don't like in both Tower and Sourcetree), and it just seems right to me.

Sorry to go off on a tangent there...

Another (former) desert rat here. I also remember rambling among the Saguaros and checking my hiking boots for scorpions in the morning as part of living on the outskirts of Phoenix in the 60s.

I well remember Desert and Arizona Highways as magazines that I cadged from a neighbor when he was done with them. Kudos to your Mom, AH was a wonderful publication.

I agree the unique barren beauty of the desert Southwest is quite a lot harder to find nowadays. Unfortunate.
You are not describing code golf, though. "A sad pattern in chess is checkmate; the goal should be to eliminate the other player entirely."

At this point, I think it's pretty obvious that these cycles track with a subliminal fear of U.S. Presidencies that reach their term limits.

There's this sort of instinctual dry-up, right before the eight-year mark on an incumbent president, sort of like geese flying south for the winter. No one says anything to one another, but the angle of the sun changes, the summer weather is gone, and all the birds hit the road at the same time.

Regardless of the parties and there representation in whichever offices, and under whatever titles, everyone knows that different people will be sitting in different chairs when the dust settles, for some, there will be a new-car smell, and for others there will be painful hours stepping through a debugger, converting data from one format to another. Either you'll be comfortable while the bugs shake out, or you'll be in for a cold winter in a drafty house, but since the immediate future is up in the air, everyone stocks up for a harsh winter.
While it's true that it may not be a legal requirement (in some jurisdictions) to post a privacy policy, it's probably not a good idea to trust a service without one, particularly if said service is designed for posting potentially private personal information.

In other words: They should post a privacy policy - not because it's a legal requirement (though it may be) - but because it's good business. And no one will trust them otherwise.

Search paths. The full address is go.corp.google.com (which is simply a URL shortener), IIRC; however, I think the resolvers are also configured to respond to a bare name in a lot of cases as an optimization.

> It simply wasn't in the locations where people actually look. You can easily verify that using the Wayback Machine (and in fact, this is still mostly the case today).

I first started using Mongo in 2010 according to my gitlogs (after it having been on my radar for some time before that), and I very distinctly remember reading about the 32-bit limitation well before I'd ever installed it, because we were also using Varnish at the time, which has similar issues on 32-bit systems because it too uses (or at least, at that time used) memory-mapped files.

The claim that the limitation was not documented well, or was hidden, or was generally unknown at that time is just simply false.

It's the Intel "Calistoga" platform, which is very similar to the X60 in that it uses the same chipset (945) and Apple probably followed the Intel reference design closely since it was their entry into the x86 world.

IBM/Lenovo tends to follow the reference designs more than the other companies, which helps with Coreboot porting.

I'd argue that this is far from slightly outdated. Starting with RAM, four gigabytes of RAM may work for a barebones programmer machine, but once you want to start doing any sort of media work, like editing photos, video, etc, you start running into that wall real quickly. Even software development work is going to cause you to run into limitations. As the processor doesn't have an IOMMU, any vms you want to run will be limited to slower, virtualized, graphics, and that expresscard slot on the side becomes a security concern (hello, evil maid). Additionally, it only supports outputting to vga, limiting your options in monitors, and making sharing content on a friend's tv a lot harder.

So in short, its constraints in various areas really do shackle you in a lot of ways. Media creation, software creation, sharing, all suffer from the weaknesses of this machine.
yeah. google indexes that.
Very few of the thousands or millions of git users know more than basic usage and most do not rely on the CLI.

Hadn't considered that.

On the one hand, GH pages is a fairly popular resource for quick static site hosting, so Google should have had an engineer sit around and come up with a special filter just for that. On the other, I doubt very much that they've actually done that.

All in all, as long as you set canonical tags for your posts, the duplicate content on another domain shouldn't penalize you too very much. In any case, SEO for a personal technical blog isn't a high priority for me. If I were writing books or doing something to earn money with the blog, I would probably shell out for static site hosting using S3 and Cloudfront or something.
