mryanon Microsoft is killing off the Internet Explorer brand

Exactly, that's the point minitech was making. Your statement is accurate. Saying you survive on a single millisecond of sleep each night would be clearly impossible - as is noticing single-millisecond differences in page rendering times.

You might dismiss it as pedantry, but there is a clear linguistic difference between "I notice millisecond differences" and "I notice differences of 300ms".

mryanon Know Your Tools – Terminal and Bash

How about find and replace?

:%s/foo/bar/gc

The "gc" will apply the find and replace globally, and ask for confirmation before changing an occurrence of "foo".

mryanon Linux Profiling at Netflix

Sure, this processing does not need to happen in real time, but it does need to happen.

My point was that to assume the user-visible portion of the site accounts for most of their computing needs is probably incorrect. Video encoding was just one of the first things I thought of, and I bet there are many more.

I admit "processing going on in the background" was a real hand-wavey way to phrase it, but I think you know what I mean. It's an iceberg - there's a lot happening under the surface. :-)

mryanon Linux Profiling at Netflix

I read that Netflix encodes each video 100+ times to ensure good performance across a wide range of devices. In addition to the "social network" side of the site (recommendations, what your friends watch, etc.) there is a lot of processing going on in the background.

mryanon Malaysia Airlines Defaced - 404 Plane Not Found

> Otherwise... hey journalists, I am literally the second coming of Jesus, you guys should interview me and tell people I'm the Son of God.

Right, and in that case the article would probably read "potatolicious, who claims to be the second coming of Jesus..." *

Their claim of alignment with ISIS is, in itself, a part of the story. They are reporting that the claims have been made, not that the claims are factually correct.

* This actually happened on British TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlSj_imnv7o

mryanon Co-Working on Vacation: A Desk in Paradise

> I don't really want a work life balance, I want it more intertwined so that I can do my work while living my life and co-working might just give me a chance to do so.

The latter part of that sentence seems like an apt description of a work/life balance to me.

mryanon Amazon data center on fire in Virginia

Fortunately, nobody was hurt and this won't affect AWS.

> A large fire lit up the roof of an Amazon data center that's still under construction in a Virginia suburb outside Washington, D.C.

> No one was hurt in the blaze, according to the local fire department, which was able to put out the fire in under an hour.
