Most systems I know which require this just do at-least once on the sending side and dedupe on the receiving side. If you build this into your framework, to applications you have e…

Not sure why this is being downvoted, it's actually a good question. If all of your VM's are idle, you would want your host CPU to idle as well, although my guess is this doesn't h…

Wish I had more upvotes for this. It's surprising how intolerant people become once their opinion becomes the socially acceptable one.

Just wanted to say thank you for hlld/bloomd! At my old company we were looking into uses for them just because the idea and footprint was so cool. We had a couple ideas for hlld a…

What would be really cool is if this list of genres was open-sourced somewhere. I can see Netflix not wanting that, but it would really save time for however many hackers read this…

A general thanks to aphyr for exploring all of these kinds of issues in distributed datastores at a level where someone without a lot of database knowledge can understand and reaso…

I think so, following the opt-out link led me to sign up for a G+ account (I'm in the same boat where I have a Google account but no G+).

How exactly is it lying? Microsoft did pay a $100k bounty to a hacker. The HN headline just leaves out extra details (what the bounty was for), but doesn't change the meaning at al…

I think this is huge for CS grads, and I would add to not overlook a blog/SO as it can really showcase your ability to discuss and explain technical topics. I can never write a blo…

Wouldn't an infestation of wild tigers make it more worth buying? =)

Thanks, while I think the pronunciation is lame and confusing, I grow tired of explaining to people that it is actually correct, they aren't called "trys" or "treys".

I've used gmvault[1] before, and it works pretty well at preserving labels and playing nice with Gmail's specific idioms not common among other IMAP providers. [1] - http://gmvault…

Thanks a lot for the reply, one of my favorite things about HN is getting questions answered by the authors of the tool in question. After reading more, your decision to not post t…

I don't have any of these issues, but your description of how you used the 1st gen Kindle is hilarious. Thanks for an unexpected laugh.
