To your aside: I for one really appreciate Heroku's color scheme. I find high contrast color schemes very fatiguing, and prefer light-ish on dark-ish color schemes like Heroku's. I don't really believe in a universally ideal

I have been both fat and slim. I don't think the change was caused by a change in my moral turpitude.

My bad. I wish there were gender neutral pronouns I could use so that I wouldn't have to worry about shit like this when it doesn't matter.

He's probably not referring so much to the specific limits on mailbox size as he is to the policy of forcing responsibility for maintaining permanent archives on the users of the system rather than the administrators of it.

"Such policies indicate either an agency that is not concerned with preserving good audit chains or one that has an extremely penny-wise, pound-foolish approach to IT policy." I think AND is more appropriate than OR here.

I wonder if this will eventually lead to google making use of a decentralized federated search strategy where they provide the technology to everyone who wants their site to be findable by means of google, but do not actually produce the re

Governments always expect to be tracked, the only surprising thing is when voters see the results and pay attention.

We don't really know how common chimerism, because it is expensive to test for. It requires sampling many different tissues/ parts of the body and comparing the gentic material found in each. Some kinds of chimerism are easy to

Very nearly all of modern science is based on appeals to authority. I don't have the training or time to validate even 1/10'000th of the things that a modern 'scientific' person is supposed to believe.

Especially since a very active human will only require the energy equivalent of a liter or two of gas per day.

I downloaded Hawken and played it once and enjoyed. When I went to play again I realized that I would have to type my 20 character random password in in order to be able to play, alt tabbing between the password manager and the game repeate

A slight nitpick that I mention only because I just learned this recently. The marble on the other end wouldn't come out instantaneously. Time it would take after starting to push the new marble in for the marble on the other side to

Probably pretty similar to how it feels when soyuz capsules land on land on parachute descent. It's not a new technique.

What practice of Hachette is amazon objecting to? The article doesn't specify the cause of the conflict.

Most blackhats will cheerfully acknowledge that what they are doing is wrong. They just think it isn't very wrong. Everyone does things they know to be wrong. Even very wrong. Update: Formatting. (can't we get a preview,

The Delta IV is more expensive than the Atlas V to launch. Will the ULA get more money as a result? Is the contract cost plus or is it fixed rate?

Or both at once! That would make data collection considerably easier.

It seems pretty likely that this will go to the SCOTUS. The court has been taking a lot of IP related cases recently and this one is pretty huge.

It seems significant to mention that the tech firms are opposing ineffectual net neutrality plans. Not opposing net neutrality. edit: formatting

Knowing what the AST looks like without having to sit an think about it is huge. Maybe you're smarter than me and can instantly intuit it, but I think most people can't. I think that this is one of the reasons that macros are so

Not having to memorize an operator precedence table makes me more than willing to give up syntactic sugar. This is one of the things that I dislike most about haskell. I wish liskell or one of the other projects trying to bring S-expressio

There are people working on improving stack traces[1][2], but there is no standard solution yet. [1] https://github.com/AvisoNovate/pretty [2] https://github.com/mmcgrana/clj-stacktrace

I'd be careful about assuming that it is necessary just because it seems plausible. Workers rebelling against capitalists and seizing the means of production once also seemed like a logical, necessary progression from the economic sys

To be fair, social scientists are not the first to find this prospect troubling. I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature. --Blaise Pascal

I think this is where crypto currencies really shine. They remove the gatekeeper for financial services. All their other benefits (and risks) are less significant.

Outsourcing allows you to isolate the status page from your human infrastructure. If your team makes a bad decision that leads to an outage then they can make the same bad decision about your status page if they are in charge of that as we

There's a lot to dislike about java, but the platform independence story of the JVM really is the best of anything out there that I've experienced. That doesn't necessarily mean Java anymore, Clojure, Scala, etc. all benefit
