Dos32.bas with Visual Basic was my first intro to programming. There was no useful search so you had to navigate through webrings to get programming tutorials. There were also netw…

Recently there's been cases where searching for a company name will actually return an ad for a competitor. Companies are being forced into a bidding war to win back the top positi…

I'm not on buildbot nine (I think the new waterfall UI is a big regression), but what that is describing looks like a statically defined list of workers that scale up and down dyna…

I'm still on buildbot, but it's definitely showing its age and I'm hoping to move off of it within a year. I've been keeping an eye on Chromium's buildbot replacement, LUCI ( https…

A recent example of this is buildbot. The current version (8.x) has a very no-frills, utilitarian python/jinja UI which has served me, personally, and many other open source projec…

Amazon also has a cloud deployment tool called Apollo (internally only I believe - the public version is called "CodeDeploy"): http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2014/11/apollo-am…

The lunar laser ranging experiment was used to observe the effects of relativity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

What was the performance like for those queries?

Could you link the "why is my go program 138GB!" article?

"Put the secret into your shared/.rbenv-vars file"... and then say goodbye to them! http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0... . I don't think keeping your sec…

Usually Fabien gives a high level overview and dives into some of the pieces of the project that he finds interesting. I don't think this is the type of review that focuses on over…

Here's a neat (and totally unpythonic) way to bring that down a bit: python -m timeit --setup "from collections import namedtuple; Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y']); p = Poin…

Hmmm, that looks oddly familiar: http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/_Aristotle/journal/33448.ht...

I tried this once as well and I might have stuck with it if chrome had a quick "add to js whitelist" button. Instead you have to fiddle around in the settings menu which just takes…

I ran across this yesterday (posted in 2011) about how google is using clang to automatically refactor their codebase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVbDzTM21BQ

I've accidentally pasted lines with --username --password into source files because of a sensitive scroll wheel... That's pretty embarrassing in code review.

What source are you looking for exactly? The piece was about the Dark Snow Project, and the journalist trekked around Greenland with the guy that founded it.

This is nonsense. You should judge the article on its own merit.

IIRC it's the way to switch between tabs

Swipe to navigate is a terrible design antipattern. I can always tell when I'm reading a blog on blogspot because it'll dump me to the adjacent article when I'm scrolling or trying…

Don't do that please.

This was a neat article about a hackathon, and it seems like you're ignoring the whole point of it to push a holy war against coffee. Also, you broke the several-month long streak …
