I’m surprised. They were massive names in the OS scene until recently. Their lineage can be traced back to Solaris and share many of the cool technologies that Sun developers pione…

I have nothing against buying cases but let’s be honest, if the answer to a genuine solvable hardware problem is to buy more hardware then you have to sympathise with those who com…

I think the name is genius (baring in mind it is a personal project and not intended for production use).

KDE 4 was released in 2008 and has been stable and consistent for more than a decade. That predates Windows 7. So in the same time KDE has been consistent you’ve had had the migrat…

Sorry, my previous comment was really unhelpful. What I meant was you should be using pipes and apaches own log rotate code. Read the “Logging Using Pipes” section at the very end.…

If you don’t change the inode then no restart should be required. There’s definitely a few tools out there that solve this problem without needing to restart httpd.

That’s news to me. I’ve been managing Apache hosts for well over a decade and never had an issue. Used apache 1.3, 2.2 and 2.4. What’s your log rotation code look like?

Thank you For additional reference, it seems to be alternating sections starting below the fold (man I hate that phrase)

If the authors are reading this: The home page has some weird width issues going on for me where content starts somewhere off the left of the screen and ends somewhere off the othe…

The problem is you need a boat load of additional code to cover unset. Not just in SQL (syntax is different for NULL than it is for comparing any other type) but often also in your…

I’d go further than you and say they should be removed by default on all fields. Want to know if a Boolean field is unset? Well it’s no longer Boolean because you now have 3 states…

> You can move freely among EU countries, not just Schengen countries. Kind of. There are passport checks and you have no automatic right to work (which is what the GP was discussi…

You can move freely amongst counties in the Schengen Area, which is a subset of EU counties (which itself is a subset of European counties). > The free movement of persons is a fun…

In theory, yes. But there are a few caveats to that: 1. CERN wouldn’t have been able to patent anything too generalised because there was prior art (Gopher) 2. Thus if the patent w…

Without wanting to sound dismissive to the massive contribution Tim Berners-Lee, and CERN as a whole, has made to IT; we’d probably have ended up with the same user experience we h…

> Monty Python is specifically mentioned in the Jargon File: That just reinforces that things were named after Monty Python rather than Monty Python creating the tech! > We're just…

As I said elsewhere when that argument was made; it’s a very tenuous connection. Things named after him isn’t the same as things he was directly involved in. I love Monty Python bu…

Nar, I’m familiar with bcrypt. I was just getting bcrypt mixed up with scrypt. Doh. Even so, that’s still not a good enough reason to -rep without feedback.

That’s tenuous at best. The reason it was “relevant” is simply because there’s more Monty Python fans on here than basketball fans. Which is fine if we’re talking purely about +vot…

Peer moderation is abused on this site and it’s getting steadily worse. I’m on the verge of giving up on HN entirely, just like many of my other professionals I personally know alr…

I learned this technique when I worked on the blue team of a cyber security firm. It’s not about sending your passwords in clear text to your RDBMS. You’d still use bcrypt like you…

Ahhh awesome. The game stuff sounds interesting too.

Anyone care to elaborate how this post is wrong? Hint: it isn’t. But I’ve been penalised for it all the same
