Lots of people commenting here about how easy it must be to shard mysql at GitHub scale...

This is super simple atoms at a millionth of a degree above zero. It has no practical relevance to influencing the outcome of a chemical reaction at normal temperatures. But, it's not every day you can demonstrate a new way to tune c

So will the command "python" be available out of the box (as python version 3) Or do scripts and users explicitly need to say "python3"?

No spec, but the golden files that check that the compiler is working as intended are very comprehensive. If you can generate the same ~38,000 files in this directory from the test cases, you're pretty much on par with tsc: https:&#x

I recall purchasing Framemaker in a PC brick-and-mortar store around those early times for something like $650, it was by far the most expensive piece of software I'd purchased. I'm not sure I've personally bought any soft

Guy with history of mental illness is marking commits as "endgame" and making references to Aaron Schwartz. Hope someone is reaching out with professional help for him, or I fear there will be one final HN post about this story i

Our cat spontaneously unlocked this achievement at about 5 years of age... We heard a little noise in the bathroom for a couple weeks and could not figure it out until we actually caught her in the act. Hilarious, and quite convenient!

You quit your job and started a blog. Wow. And then you wrote an article on your blog in a hypomanic state describing how you quit your job and started a blog. Amazing.

Whether or not a site is hosted in the cloud, it will break from time to time. S** invariably happens, no matter what. So, even if you host in the cloud, you're going to have problems, but they will be different problems. A develope

Sounds like it would have been very difficult to implement this without some excellent open source projects. Is github planning to open-source other parts of the system?

OK so this is about the go binary itself, not a new stamping behavior of binaries coming out of the compiler/linker?

A bit surprised by: "The go command now embeds version control information in binaries including the currently checked-out revision, commit time, and a flag indicating whether edited or untracked files are present. Version control info

Why does an article titled... "WORLD PREMIERE The most powerful MRI scanner in the world delivers its first images!" ... have only a single (crappy) image. Sigh.

What seems lacking in the choice of projects is a particular expertise in any of these subjects. Pick an area of study, try and narrow it as much as possible, stick with it over several years, and seek to become the world's expert on

I just don't get why not drop a brief explanation on the validity of the PR? She could have so easily avoided this. Active maintainers are right to be pissed.

Looks awesome! But, why? Seems like a distraction for a financial company.

A lot of assumptions about causality based on weak data here. This company is just trying to capitalize on what is perceives as an inbound marketing opportunity. Next.

It's obviously a hard problem. As someone who used to do dialysis-access operations (AV fistulas/AV shunts), just looking at their diagram and seeing 3 location with a plastic::tissue interface (artery, vein, bladder) is a massiv

If we had "an inexhaustible, carbon-free source of energy that you can deploy anywhere and at any time" we'd wreck the planet faster than we already are... I guess at least a few could escape though.

As others stated, this is really a PR piece. The study aim was to see what the tolerable dose for a future study might be. 17 patients ranging from metastatic breast ca to unresectable colon ca were studied from 2014-2016. Patients were gi

I recently heard somewhere that the cosmic background radiation (CMR, 2.7 kelvin or so) is so much hotter than the "temperature" generated by Hawking radiation of black holes (apparently on the order of a billionth of a kelvin) s

The comparison to Bazel here is really not appropriate. The core competency of Bazel is to know exactly the build graph and be able to do the minimum amount of work possible. I don't see how this (basically syntactic sugar over mult

As much as I despise social media and the effect it is having on the general population, after reading the (50-page) request and the dissent, this request by the FTC is completely bananas . This is essentially how it reads: "Foreach s

Yes I'm getting pretty bored of these kinds of posts that offer no real ideas (this was just a rant) in order to drive traffic to their paid newsletter.

I'm a big fan. In order to accomplish its core mission of making build & test so much faster, it has to have near complete knowledge of your build graph (the source files and precisely how they depend upon one another). This means
