"The task is to sum the values for each key and print the key with the largest sum." What is the smart way to do this in kdb+? This is my naive, sloppy 15min approach. Warning: Noo…

Long before amp, Google began prefixing search result urls with "google.tld?url=" and adding Google parameters as suffixes such as "sa=", "ved=", etc. Unless I am mistaken this par…

Favorite part is how he mixes the register allocator with a chain of seds. I did something similar with a youtube downloader I wrote, using a long chain of seds. It is not as beaut…

This is my "Hacker News Reader". It converts HN to csv. (Only selected fields of interest to me.) From there it can easily be imported into kdb+. I have more reusable generalized l…

"I suggest compiler writers stop viewing the x86 stack as a twisted version of a traditional 8-register set." What if compiler writers will not fix the problem? Write own register …

"... is silly, there are better ways." I see this usage often where it seems like grep pattern1 | grep -v pattern2 can be replaced by sed -n '/pattern1/d;/pattern2/p' or at least s…

Example line from the Openshift reload-haproxy script: old_pids=$(ps -A -opid,args | grep haproxy | egrep -v -e 'grep|reload-haproxy' | awk '{print $1}' | tr '\n' ' ') Can we do th…

Is it true these packets are HTTP requests full of XML, i.e., SOAP? Do they use HTTPS on ports 16994 and 16995? To avoid a crash, users can mount potentially malicious filesystems …

First time I learned about SETL at NYU was when I was learning about Spitbol. Here is a fizzbuzz in Spitbol. Probably not the best way to do it. var a = 0; start +a = a + 1; break …

The knee-jerk answer upon seeing the title was: "Too many". So many of these instructions I never see anyone use, ever. No doubt there are some folks using them, but as mere mortal…
