Don't use it in case of a fire

Given the rate at which we are progressing on SSD endurance, these methods will become irrelevant. Even 5 years back, the old tech report article showed that for an average user, they could handle a lot of writes.

As has already been said, bash brace expansion is quite powerful. It has many usecases, such as,

  diff file{.original,}
  mkdir -p path/{a,b,c}/folder
  for i in image{001..060}; do echo $i; done

Parameter Expansion is also equally useful, like changing a few characters in long names,

  mv ${i}.png ${i/imaeg/image}.png

I have been using duckduckgo on all browsers, including mobiles, for 2-3 years now. There are occasions when I don't get good results. But when I try the same query on G, the results are equally useless. So, I have since stopped using anything else.

Although, I should say, bing was equally good when I used it before duckduckgo, until they added that horrendous news feed in the bottom.

This is great! In my case, only reason for choosing Redis over Memcached was persisting to disk. With memcached being multi-threaded compared to Redis being single-threaded, I see a big win in simple use-cases for Memcached.

I look forward to read this. Thanks for posting the link.

> "You might well ask why you should study assembly language, given that I think you should avoid writing in it. I believe very strongly that the best programmers have a good understanding of how computer hardware works. I think this principle holds in most fields: the best drivers understand how automobiles work; the best musicians understand how their instrument works; etc."

There are new feature phones available in the market, with the benefits of modern technology such as better display, keyboard, battery.. Its probably not advertised much, but it is still there, and very much available.

We can never fix the "Referer" header, and we have accepted it! So, why not accept 418 for what it is ? Let it at-least complete its 20th year.

HTTP/1.1 418 I'm a Teapot

I think, he explains it early in the article,

"The problem with ethernet addresses is they're assigned sequentially at the factory, so they can't be hierarchical. That means the "bridging table" is not as nice as a modern IP routing table, which can talk about the route for a whole subnet at a time."

Browsers should just s/.feedback/.com/, problem solved.

Link is 404, include the period '.' when copy-pasting.

Sad Story, free Garry.

The article is far from ground reality. Comparing India to Nigeria, just for the topic of corruption, is nonsense.

The main problem with the current demonetization is cash availability. If the ATMs had worked and the cash was available in lower denominations, demonetization wouldn't be such a big issue.

It was primarily intended to bring out undeclared income and wipe out counterfeit notes.

However, IMHO, undeclared income facilitates corruption.

wow, birds can auto-pilot.

if two halves of the brain can work independently, wouldn't there be a sync problem! I wonder how the brain handles it.

Is there a governing body or regulatory authority which looks over the process followed by CAs ?

As a fan of firefox, I am happy that as a community, Mozilla has done the necessary ground work to reach this conclusion. However, as long as PKI remains a highly profitable business, more and more such events are going to happen.

I don't think all CAs should be trusted equally. Right now, AFAIK, my browsing experience is only as secure as the weakest CA. Hopefully, HPKP can put an end to this.

may be, you are right, users are as good as their reinvestment, with regards to open source. However, reinvestment doesn't necessarily have to mean code, money, bug reports or something similar. It could be as simple as, spreading the word. I really appreciate those who share their experiences with a project. It helps make long term decisions easier.

An open source project is as good as dead without users. Whether they are complaining or not, if someone gives you a piece of their valuable time, that should be appreciated.

This is no different than failing to validate input parameters, and letting an attacker take a dump of your database. A service connecting to a remote location should have checked the URI scheme.

well written story.

with all the troubles, I wonder how the founder could just keep going. may be it is as the story says, "default human condition to not give up" but at what cost.

> Robo-Recruiting

In my opinion, unless the new hires are going to work with robots, this is not going to work as they expect. And, this seems more like a cost-cutting solution than becoming “school agnostic".

53 acquisitions in 4 years (13/year) seems like a lot. I wonder if they kept track.
