    While the concept sounds sound, so far I've never actually seen this setup in the real world. Do you happen to have any resources on how to properly setup such a step in a CI tool?…

    I have a question about storing the encryption keys. How would one actually securely store them and distribute them among the application servers in a cloud environment. I don't bu…

    I'm a bit confused. Installing this on archlinux from the AUR I get version 3.3.1; however the post itself seems to be for 3.0beta (judging from the announcement halfway down the p…

    That depends on the implementation of the queue. Most queues have a "failed/retry" concept, where they mark failed jobs to be retried in some set future point in time. So one faile…

    Amazon.de just introduced a new translated UI for english. Click the globe icon on the menu bar, next to "My Account" and select english. Haven't tried it myself, so I can't commen…

    I guess this is because there are so many more exposed levels of git to learn. The introductory chapters in git books about all the "this is how a commit hash is computed" and "it'…

    As a die hard vim user I have to ask: Could you elaborate on your decision? What made Atom more appealing to you, what are the features it has that vim doesn't have (or does have, …

    "package manager" I'd wager. Not "PERL module" :)

    Maybe a better link, since it contains the video, the audio-only track and a link to the slides as a pdf: https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa11/newsql-vs-nosql-new...

    I believe your main issue with understanding these things is that you're conflating (absence of) workload and boredom. Boredom stems from not having anything that engages a person …

    This study seems to not have been performed as rigorously as you'd expect: http://www.realclearscience.com/journal_club/2014/04/04/stud... To quote the relevant part: "All of the d…

    eInk based ebook readers have been around since at least the iRex in '06. My current jetBook in the same format as the Sony here even has 4096 colors. The thing that always kept th…

    If the chrome devs in their infinite wisdom lumped cookies and HTML5 localstore together, then yes.

    The issue with the regex seems to be the nested * matcher in the last part, paired with the grouping: ([\/\w \.-]* )* (whitespace added to re to circumvent italisizing by HN). IIRC…

    Which won't matter if you're a normal user. If you're root - why are you using the job system to kill your jobs?

    This changed in 1.9. Ruby is now compiled into a stack machine based bytecode. Ruby 1.8 used the AST internally, you're right there. This made e.g. method calls very slow compared …
