Your comment is almost completely incomprehensible to me, as someone that doesn't work in the Meta context... I take it being an L5 is a good thing? but just six months ago you were an L8, and competition to become an…
Sounds great in theory but I'd suspect that you'd cave pretty soon after your bank adopts this (or whatever essential site/service you aren't considering is captured here).
I disagree: the device monitors battery fluctuations to 'authenticate' the driver. the fluctuations need to be a specific pattern - delivered either by a device plugged into the 12v accessory port, or by some specific…
This is a frustrating yet common sort of take. Yes, this is simple, as the article clearly points out. Yes it is obvious in retrospect. But did you do anything with your brilliant work besides bodge your terrible car a…
the inode is the important thing when all is said and done. It is flexible in that it can contain all the metadata needed to present a file to a process. Sometimes that metadata is a list of blocks in the filesystem.…
|For example, what combination of shell commands can I use to output the number of files in a directory? Hint: it probably isn't what you think it is, if it's even possible. `find . -type f | wc -l`
I'm immediately reminded of "Master Foo and the Ten Thousand Lines": http://catb.org/~esr/writings/unix-koans/ten-thousand.html Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “There is more Unix-nature in one line of…

So... I visited Reddit before coming here and finding the HN thread... Most of the site is rebelling, but I took the time to visit, intending to give them impressions, just to see how they are holding up. And of course…
should be able to measure that with the same lasers, I would think.
I had a look at this paper, and in the citations I see two papers from Jonathan Pruitt! For those unfamiliar, Jonathan Pruitt is a _former_ Professor charged with falsifying massive amounts of data relating to spider…

FYI, and nothing personal, but your comment is more or less coming across to me as "whelp, the inflexible delegation has spoken". I go to great lengths to maintain a flexible mindset, to try to get the best out of a new…
Thank you, I'll be sure to swing by. I specifically worked on MM6-8 in detail, would be glad to chat about the good ol' days.
(Hey so I apologize if this has been touched on in the main thread, but I didn't spot anything related so starting a new one). We should consider even further: what about consequences of successfully colonizing Mars? I…

Just out of curiosity, can you explain to me what you mean by 'marketing names' in relation to IMEC? I'm not quite convinced you understand what that organization is, what they do, or what they have accomplished.
I wasn't being condescending, and I am objectively not 'wrong'. I merely urged you to gather information you may not be familiar with. Particularly IMECs roadmap. I will point out that you instantly went into…
Perhaps you are unaware of the angstrom scale process nodes on the semiconductor roadmaps? i.e., IMEC, TSMC and Intel all aggressively pursuing "20A" at the moment with an eye toward a new generation of sub-1n…
Interesting take. You have casually dismissed the Goldbach Conjecture (perhaps the deepest centuries old problem in number theory) as 'trite, trivial and uninteresting'... Suggesting that you are only minimally familiar…
It is weird hate.
Positive Feedback: I quit like the tight, minimal look. the variation in key heights and the concave number row keys seem like excellent positioning features. Honestly, I've used so many keyboards in my time that I'd be…

minor nit - this is a very poorly named site. A better name might be "the history of workstation and personal computer graphical user interfaces", a very far cry from blanket coverage of all "user interfaces". Even…
