Not really disagreeing with your sentiment, but he laid it out nicely in the "Defining the Hot Path" section. That is honestly the most valuable lesson a newer programmer could take away from this gist.

Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks for your nicely done ansible recipes.

Looks like there's some WARC files here: https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_panoramio

It says that they will upload the results to archive.org, which is good news. But is it possible to join a torrent now to make a copy of the dataset?

Nice to see more options on that one. This is the one I remember: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/gmap/hydesim.html

Amazing! That's the one episode I think of when I think of Mr. Wizard.

Does it work better if you click the black arrow at the bottom of each slide?

Anyone who has worked on cases involving APT from known foreign actors can identify common TTPs and attempt a best guess at the group involved.

I did enjoy Slackware as a learning experience all those years ago, but nowadays I like to spend more time building things and less time futzing with the OS.

by kevindication 12y ago
My primary professional OS progression went something like: Slackware -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> OS X. As with the author, I'm pretty sure I'm done with OS X. If I want to go back to Linux, what is the best path? Mint? Back t

Correct, data is a plural. OP either doesn't know that or is making a more nuanced complaint about stodgy old style guides that used Latin to decide things like this.

Both of these positions on the subject are needlessly binary. I often find it the case that, even though I erect careful boundaries between work and non-work, when I leave a problem on my desk, I will continue to ruminate about a solution t

But to call that a Postgres variant seems to suggest that they have way more in common than they really do. The trade offs that vertical databases are making are kind of alien for someone who is used to using Postgres. Really cool work thou

It's not a Postgres variant at all. Postgres is emulated as an interface to the columnar ParAccel database underneath. ParAccel does neat things (compiles your SQL into a program that it runs to answer the question, for instance) and r

This. I love Chrome, but their target market is using Windows, and asking them to click "Yes" to upgrade Chrome (or leaving this question up to the administrator) is not a barrier worth circumventing.

Right, but just because you have a data type that can handle a date that far in the future does not imply that you have fixed your OS and supporting software to be able to handle the day when the system time rolls over.

I guess this explains why their booth was empty at PyCon this year. (Though I think they may have had an empty booth at previous PyCons...)

Yep. Redshift is based off of ParAccel. We used that DB for some really awesome large scale analytics on a previous project. http://www.zdnet.com/amazon-redshift-paraccel-in-costly-appl...

It seems like you should recognize that a user does not want interesting offers when they submit a black hole address to you. Or maybe that's what you're saying you do?

You might also have a hardware problem.

The OP doesn't want to enable the bad uses of Tor, nor do they want to get into legal trouble for it. It's demonstrated that by running a Tor exit node, you are at a high risk of the former and at least some risk for the latter. Both carry

Meta: I clicked through to this link without pause but then I noticed the tld. Is that enough to get you blocked on corporate networks? And on the flip side, can you get in trouble for visting it?
