Having spent a lot of time in a truck, I can tell you it's extremely difficult to cope on high-traffic roads. Most car drivers will crowd around you giving you no chance to change lanes, etc. Sometimes you have no…
You're missing the fact that online publishing is only a small part of what the system has to handle. It has to integrate with the print design tools and publishing systems.
Commenting here because the post's comments are 6mo old. I've had good luck with a combination of what both the author and the first commenter said. Go a week forcing yourself to eat smaller portions, your stomach will…
Is Gnome Do still alive? 0.8.3.1 was released in Dec 09 and I haven't seen any updates come across since then. I hope someone's still working on it. I love the project. (If I were less lazy and wanted to learn Mono, I'd…

It definitely has. Two years ago, I even had issues with some features of KVM/QEMU (live migration, for instance), let alone trying to run that on a distributed FS. It's amazing how fast these techs are coming along.
I've been using Gluster in a production environment for over a year now with an absolutely perfect track record. I use it for the "centralized" filesystem for a virtualization cluster (using KVM). Currently, I have…
Viewing OpenStreetMaps through Bing requires Silverlight? That seems a bit contradictory to the "open" part. (Note: I've tried Moonlight half a dozen times and have had zero success with it on Bing or elsewhere)
I'm a Mootools fan myself. I use it over the seemingly more popular libs like jquery because very little of my JS code is actually touching DOM. I usually start my projects by creating all my "classes" (actually…
"All check refund requests for wallet balances will be mailed to your shipping address no later than June 14th." Does this apply to web song refunds as well? I was just wondering what linux users could do since they…
This quote rubs me the wrong way a little... "The relational database tool chain is not evolving. It has failed for large scale, real-time environments." I've been a big user of Postgres for going on five years now and…
You mention wanting to be a NYT/CNN/etc competitor instead of competing with digg/reddit/etc. Does this mean you want to be a news producer instead of a news aggregator? Or are you just looking for intelligence behind…
I think a couple of us have little blogs that we sometimes post snippets and short notes to, but nothing substantial. I haven't posted anything to my technical blog for over a year now. Since they are personal blogs, we…
The last thing I expect to see when I come to HN is a post about the site I work on every day (well... one of the sites). I would love to have some sort of semi-technical blog on our sites to showcase what actually…
That was my exact thought. I doubt his numbers are even close to accurate as Flash doesn't stress windows machines like it does linux and osx. And given that most NYT users are probably windows users, I'd bet the real…
I don't understand the argument either.. I use multi-line lambdas with ifs and forloops all the time. f = lambda x:( x if ( x**2 > 10 or x**2 < 5 ) else x**3 )
The foodstuffs I received this year. Didn't get much outside of foodstuffs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brutimus/4216683268/
This is actually a pretty decent list. I use a good portion of them on most of my Ubuntu machines. Also a few apps I had never heard of: Universal Applets and the brain stuffs.
FYI: Hawking is British and teaches at University of Cambridge in England. :-)
The highlighted response was bullseye hit of what I noticed going through college. The couple classes I remember it being most evident in were the very low level programming classes: Intro to Java/Javascript and a PHP…

I've never seen such an article and in my own personal opinion, I don't see how such an argument could be made. I'm not a fan of Git in particular, but I love the "distributed" in DVCS. I use BZR on a daily basis and…
I'm all for distributed services, but only when practical. All services go down, heck, even Google services have gone down several times recently. So when your boss is screaming at you "why are we down?!", can you get…
