I assume he is talking about Richard King. I don't think he has his own channel. but as mentioned Stefan Gotteswinter and Keith Rucker both have videos of the scraping skills they learned from him. (Rucker has actually hosted severa

I suspect that if netflix went to the ISPs to cache their data, the ISPs would be more than happy to charge them for it like to do with other content networks. In this case, netflix is assuming that the volume of netflix traffic at the I

I read books constantly, and I do own a 2nd generation Kindle, but I think it is buried in a box somewhere from a move I did last fall. I do 99% of my reading these days on either my Android phone, my laptop or my desktop PC. I really thi

You would think so, but I still see new projects started every day using Apache for something nginx would be a much better fit for. I think that mostly the admins and architects on these projects have simply never heard of nginx, or if th

The getter/setter stuff in java is a huge waste of space and time. However, at least in the enterprise space, all of the tooling and frameworks assume your code follows the java bean naming conventions. For this reason alone I always make

Great article, but they seem to barely mention the most mind bending fact about the experiment: They are generating a 1km wide blast of neutrinos in suburban Chicago and sending it 450 miles through the ground to mine in Minnesota. I had to

A few months ago the NY Times wrote an article about how they did static generation for their election results mini-site. The HN discussion was here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2025611

Some people were watching TV online before, now lots of people are watching TV online. Hulu has played a big part in that. I suspect the number of people watching Hulu every week dwarfs the number of people who were "illegally" watching co

I really appreciate that this example shows a useful testing strategy and handles the big scheduling gotcha (rescheduling jobs.) Neither are hard solutions once the answer is known, but having them spelled out will save someone a lot of tim

Does google require you to use their service the same way apple does? Or is their service just there for developers that want to use it(at a 10% cost?)

I guess my point is that it really does work both ways, the iPad existing may help me sell things, and me selling those things helps sell iPads. So how about both sides just focus on taking money from the customers instead of each other.

So is this being driven by people working on the VP8 codec or the WebM project? Or is MPEG LA just trying to show that VP8 really is just a patent encumbered at h.264(and protect/add to their revenue stream?)

I had to read this as part of my Rhetoric class my freshman year of college. I hated just about every minute of it, very hard to absorb, more than a big long winded in places. It also didn't help that my TA for the class was convinced tha

I noticed they did this to Jalopnik the other day, makes it much more difficult to browse the list of headlines. I very rarely want to read the first story on the list, or each story for that matter. I use sites like Jalopnik, LifeHacker,

JUnit stores all of the meta data about each test case in the test instance itself, so all of the reporting is based off of these classes. It has always puzzled me why it was done this way, why not just store a collection of "meta-data" ob

Ruby’s Test::Unit library (which we use for Basecamp’s tests) creates a new instance of the test class for each test. Not only that, but it holds onto each of those instances, so if your test suite includes thousands of tests, then the tes
