federicoponzi··on Show HN: Bekli, where the graph comes to life
Haven't tried the site, but have a couple of points: * Why no https? * Link broken: http://www.bekli.it/whoWeAre * I don't like the overall design, it looks like it looks like too empty or simple (I'm also talking about the "take a quiz screenshot") - but I'm not a designer at all.

Well done shipping :)

federicoponzi··on The death of a TLD
Not sure about the answer, but one thing that comes into my mind is about decentralization, in the sense of load balancing the DNS queries.

federicoponzi··on An Illustrated Proof of the CAP Theorem
This is exactly what I've said. My initial "proof by example" was an answer for the op's statement:

> Proof by example or analogy is not a proof.

So as you also said "Of course you can prove something exists by an example".

To answer this: > Proove that you can't walk. Don't walk.

As I said, proof by example works only

> to prove that something exists or that a property is not valid for every element of a set.

Divide your lifetime in seconds. With that, you're trying to proove with the property "walk" isn't valid for every element of the set lifetime. To proove that the property can't walk dosen't hold for every element of the set, just show an example of second while you were walking and you're done.

federicoponzi··on An Illustrated Proof of the CAP Theorem
Proove that you can walk. Walk. Prooved by an example. Basically to prove that something exists or that a property is not valid for every element of a set, you can proove with an example.
federicoponzi··on Google doesn't like -2 * 2
Seems like there is some issues with the -2 without a space in them.

- 2 + 2 works fine while -2 + 2 does not. -2 +2 seems working though.

Also, try to search "-2" to get no results.

federicoponzi··on The Future of Computing: Logic or Biology (2003) [pdf]
A computer is a piace of machinery capable of running programs. You're building a specialized hardware to run a program - so I guess it's still a piece of machinery even if capable of running one program.

Yeah probably he was talking about that. But for my Mate, GVfs is not an option :(

federicoponzi··on Distributed architecture concepts I learned when building a large payment system
Why not? Use comodity server to compute long running tasks dosen't seems a trend fading away anytime soon.

There are more solutions other than M/R now though (spark, presto etc) but they require high performance servers (presto suggested RAM amount is 128GB).

federicoponzi··on Show HN: Bookmarklet to view full size photos from Google Images
I was asking myself why this was there in HN top, headed to Google Images and yes, it dosen't provide a direct link to the image anymore :/ This is going to be very harder for a normal user to download an image at full resoultion. Well done with this script :)
federicoponzi··on Brushing up on operating systems and C programming
Hey, thanks a lot! Went through some pages around, and looks like a very informative book. Is there a printed version?
federicoponzi··on MedleyText
I'm still looking for a good note-taking app. I've tried a few:

* Stackedit: Not developed anymore, I've encountered many bugs.

* Typora: It's very good, as a couple of bugs but it's probably the best to me at the moment.

* Ghostwriter: What I'm trying out these days.

Honestly, my problem with Typora (and also with this MedleyText) is that they aren't opensource.
