hmm.. article is almost two years old, so I wonder what the current situation is as I've never heard of segregation of the sexes in Japan.

Nice.. having Plex on Chromecast almost makes my Roku 2 useless, almost because I subscribe to MIT/PBS channels on Roku.

Great read, I'm somewhat surprised Hulu being owned by the mega corps ABC,FOX,NBC etc.. would be using open source technology such as Python/Lua and Mysql/Redis shards, for some reason I always think these corporations are always pushing some huge J2EE/Oracle/.NET type of stack.

Well it is the main reference but it won't sustain the "HN effect", thanks for the mirror link. I typically use http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/doku.php which also provides a mirror and some extras.

Ah yes, the ultimate reference from Freenode #bash, after you learn from Greycat's wiki you won't simply Google/DDG "bash tutorial" again and just head straight here.

Interesting, although on Android I prefer using a pattern pin anyway.

Indeed.. I would have liked to hear what took the Python script 3x longer. The longest part I would assume would be the network requests themselves which is inherent regardless of language.

I seriously doubt it.. A language usually takes off (business wise) once a major player starts using it in production, so developers can now tell their managers "Look XYZ is using it". Now that D got the Facebook plug it will now get more promotion and push to be used more widely.

   — How many years of experience do you have with Python?
   — ALL OF THEM.

Thanks for this, good refresher and some more insights on performance tools such as vmstat(1) etc, although I wish GNU/Linux had a production ready tracing tool that is as easy to use as Dtrace(1), watching Ktap currently which is making some headwinds.

Ok, what non esoteric languages would one consider extremely difficult?

Some people, when confronted with a problem... bah you know the rest.

The problem is when I see UUOC use in fairly large scripts. I've seen load averages shoot through the roof due to numerous separate commands that are being run causing needless context switching as each set of commands is being run per line of a large datafile.

Yep, I see too many senior people violate UUOC/UUOG ie..

  cat file | grep bar | awk '{ print $1 }' | sort | uniq

which can be

  awk '/bar/ { print $1 | "sort -u"}' file

The best resource if you really want to be a better shell citizen (assuming you use Bash) overall is #bash on irc.freenode.net and Greg's bash wiki.

Honorable mention also for #awk on irc.freenode.net also which has taught me a lot.

Crude check but since it's temporary, an hour seems far too long an interval, you check at 10GMT , by 10:05GMT your server is in trouble and has 55 minutes to crap out. I would check every */5 minutes at least.

Cool concept, an encrypted in memory hypervisor, many relevant buzzwords used throughout the site. Yet the main questions that will probably be brought up include, is the source reviewable? at least the encryption portion and specifics on the encryption itself as today even major companies aren't trusted much when it comes to encryption.

hmm.. I'm not sure much of the HN crowd cares to run Win8 on any sized PC, interesting nonetheless.

What's even more awesome is that this is an embedded arm device where usually C/lua has rank.

I have been using the Pimsleur Method which is all audio during my drive from/to work, combined with watching spanish movies with subtitles on Netflix. My Spanish is now where I can keep up a basic conversation with my native South American friends. I have been doing this for about a year now.

Wow, introduced to Nmap in 1999 on Slackware Linux 2.2.x , back then we would scour the internet on our providers CIDR range looking for open windows 95/98 shares and boy there were plenty back in the day. Today I mostly use it to find out what ports are listening on a node when not sure what type of OS is on a machine since we run AIX/Linux/HP UX/IBM TPF. Great to see Fydoor still behind his baby, got to try out NCat scripting utilities to improve some network testing bash scripts we have in house.

Wow goread.io is much more responsive then when I first tried it around a month ago .. definitely will start contributing on Github.

hmm.. I get "Your browser is too small. Please resize your window to fit this media query." in the demo Chrome 29/Opera 12.14

Question.. if an offshore VPS provider has servers in the U.S. can the offshore VPS's be taken for search and seizure by U.S. Government simply because part of their business operates within U.S. borders?
