minaguib··on Learn You a Haskell for Great Good
It's actually the other way around. Fred Hebert, author of LYSE, named it after Miran's LYAH.

minaguib··on Packets of Death
This is not about the particular linux driver, but about a particular chipset, and even then, only sometimes...

The linux e1000e may support many chipsets, so the fact that it's in service on your box doesn't necessarily mean you're running the suspect chipset, or that it's vulnerable.

Check with lspci -v, and check with the concrete test using the cold boot+magic packet others and the OP have posted.

They have. They've switched to Verisign.

The glossing-over cassandra (because of Digg history etc..) was the point in the talk when I started raising eyebrows. Engineers evaluating systems should let the systems speak for themselves.

We have a fairly small cassandra cluster in production, serving over 50x the volume they mentioned in their talk, with good latency (real-time bidding) and not-too-painful operational footprint.

minaguib··on Ask HN: Best datastore to store high volume time series data
Look into graphite and statsd
minaguib··on Writing Eloquent JavaScript Without CoffeeScript
He's got to be trolling. Multiline ternary operators aren't in my book better than an if block.

He also completely misses the point about javascript's global-by-default variables and how easy it is to introduce them with typos, properly building classes, etc.
