Figured I'd dust off my old constraint programming language ( https://github.com/dbunker/SABR/blob/master/test/Real/Multip... ) with result ( https://github.com/dbunker/S

Turning thoughts into software is what software engineers do every day. At every point along the technology trajectory technologists have created more and more powerful abstractions. When transistors where first created: print "Hello World"

Any thoughts on when the pagination goes live? I can't find any information on it online. Memcache would be a good choice, but I am wondering, if I have a few secondary indexes with over a million indexes each, wouldn't continually recreati

I have been using Riak's secondary indexes for my latest project and have generally found them a joy to use. However, I do have to have to question a bit the way they are architected. Assuming you are using Riak's default configuration each

Assuming you are using a distributed architecture, there is no way to verify a user without at least one database lookup because the request could be coming into any API server. So in most cases we're not avoiding cookies and sessions just

Assuming you are using only "reads HN" as your a priori, all of us with below average pay should expect higher salaries. If you were to argue that those who read HN and also have high salaries are the only ones reporting however, then it wo

People always say that remote working will be the way of the future, but humans remain extremely social animals. So much of what we do is guided by genetics and it seems to be human nature that if you don't see someone's face on a regular b

When I first read 'GitHub-maintained client libraries' I initially thought they meant built in libraries or templated stub functions, sort of like what they offer for .gitignore for various programming environments and languages. I was a li

I expect people would be reluctant to use a client not sanctioned by bitcoin.org officially, although I'm not sure how difficult that is. It may be as simple as sending an email to get them to add it to the list. I would think that any new

It's a shame he doesn't mention his friend's name at the end of the piece, but if anyone has the right to refer to themselves as "beloved" I'd say it's David Rakoff.

I feel like what they are describing is more defragmentation than garbage collection. The article uses garbage collection to mean taking sparsely filled blocks and consolidating them into a single block to free the sparsely filled ones. Gar

I'd say it was a business opportunity if it wasn't for the abysmal track record airlines have for remaining profitable transporting humans.

What you have described is more or less Diffie-Hellman. Unfortunately this alone wont guarantee your package's safe passage. If it did Verisign, would be out of a job. The flaw is, you can basically just have the same scenario but replace A

Unfortunately, restrictions and bureaucracy tend to just favor lawyers who can charge higher to dig through it.

What would be interesting is if there were real online bitcoin banks that leant or invested the bitcoins to both make a profit themselves and offer their customers some interest on their savings.

I'd feel better if it was an app that taught people how to game the lottery. At least then the nonsense would be equitable.

On the other hand, infrastructure can only be as useful as the applications they support. Technologists love solving hard technical problems [1], but ultimately, isn't the main goal to improve peoples' lives? Almost all the engineers I know

Hashing each character doesn't provide any additional security. The main reason why we hash passwords in the first place is so if an attacker where to get read access, they couldn't deduce the password. But if they are looking in the databa

My point is that nowadays, individuals who are disinclined to higher education, and hence are less likely to put their heart and soul into it, still feel obliged to attend. That's my analysis anyway.

From 1980 to today the population has increased by roughly 36% while college enrollment increased by roughly 68%. More people feel they need to go to college to get a job, so when they say, "in 1961, full-time students spent about 40 hours

What if you want to update a value, but you want to store the number of times it was updated to be returned in the JSON (not idempotent, but not an unreasonable thing to want)? Would you still use PUT? My point is not that the ascribed mean
