Well, for starters you need a reasonably long exposure time.

Isn't this the same as Elasticsearch searchable snapshots?

”Winter was short, this year”. “Spring came early”. It does not make sense to tie these concepts to a calendar. Summer is when you dare to dip your toes in the ocean. In winter we have a meter of ice. I generally place vacation weeks in July and august, because the weather is nice and other people are on vacation as well.

The statement that the seasons are wrong, does not make sense. To tie these names to a calendar, does not make sense.

I now know the weather in Beverly Hills...

This article/blog post [1] has been on HN several times before, but it is well worth a reminder.

There are no see cows mentioned in the Wikipedia article about Merovech [0]. I have no knowledge about this, but such a juicy databit should just jump at you, if it was true. Instead, a quite mundane etymology around ‘merovech’ is provided.

One of these articles are wrong :)

The link you gave does not seem to work :)

In 1995, World War III almost broke out after a rocket launch from the exact same location [1]. It was only a coincidence that stopped the Russians from doing retaliatory nuclear rocket launches. So, indeed, launching to the east is not a good idea from this latitude.

Else is a common name in my part of the world and capitalizing the word makes the connection more explicit.

Bear? It is more like a stray dog that keeps shitting on your living room carpet. You don’t need to hate the dog, you just keep it on the outside where it can run around and have a great time on it’s own.

Interesting. I came in contact with dynamic programming as a means to implement the Viterbi algorithm in an equalizer. This relates to calculating “cost” of routes through a trellis, where you accumulate partial results corresponding to alternative routes.

DSPy?

If writing performance is critical, why bother with deduplication at writing time? Do deduplication afterwards, concurrently and with lower priority?

This is an interception scenario, no? If issued intentionally, traffic will pass through hardware in… unfriendly territory.

Actually: Paris in the the spring

'the' comes twice

Makes sense since the Russians have been fiddling with time and seems to have turned it back to 1962.

Or moving from RCS to CVS.

Yes, you shouldn't "boil the ocean".

Is this a surprise?

Isn't this exactly what Naftali Tishby has been talking about [1].

Why are the letters ’p’, ’q’ and ’t’ missing from the article? Makes it a bit annoying to read.

I can't reconcile this article with additional background [0]. Maybe what we see here is one party shouting loudest...

What’s the problem?

I’m white and can need to be reminded that I’m actually in minority on this planet, but act as I’m not. The text is pretentious, but I can take that.

It is a pity that PostScript has to live such a dwindling life. It is a very fascinating language in itself. After Display PostScript disappeared, I think the only use is in printers nowadays. I once invested in a development environment for PostScript — psalter — where I could step through code and see contents on the various stacks. I used it when developing overlays on printouts of scanned images, as PostScript files with TIFF content was much smaller than print bitmaps from Windows and LANs weren’t faster than 10 MBit :) It made a huge difference in printout speeds.

I also found a bug in libtiff by studying produced PostScript. I don’t think anybody looks at this anymore.

“A Python-based programming language that combines the performance of Ruby with the readability of Perl.”

…with the readability of Perl. Surely a joke.

I have written quite a lot of Perl code in my life. It was obvious to me what it did as I wrote it, but I have real problems understanding it/reading it now.

Email as technology existed, but as I recall commonly based on UUCP with bang-type addresses. A BBS kind of assume public accessible phone based access and that was kind of orthogonal to UUCP.
