It looks pretty well archived to me, where are you seeing things missing?

99% of the spam email I've been getting has been using using static redirect sites hosted on GCS to try to get past spam filters too. I've tried reporting it via https://support.google.com/code/contact/cloud_platform_repor... but it's pretty exhausting.

This wasn't in the kernel, this was just a piece of malware targeting Linux systems

I started reading this thinking Nix was a programming language, became very confused when it started talking about files and an object database.

I thought the book "Philosophy and Simulation" by Manuel de Landa did a really great job of tying together some threads around simulation and it's connection to reality. I haven't read Simulacra but it seems like Baudrillard has gone too far in the direction that French philosophy loves to go by claiming we have cannot have any connection "the real". While an amusing idea it just doesn't match up to our lived experience.

According to the author, readers of the book are already translating the port of Git in the book to C++, Clojure, Elixir, Haskell, Java, Node, Rust, and Swift

Not exactly what you're getting at but the artist Thijs Rijkers did a series of pieces similar to this, called Suicide Machines: https://vimeo.com/56871178

Reading about CVE-2017-9805 it was really interesting to learn that the company that discovered it was using a Datalog-like language in order to query Java code for vulnerability patterns.

Process Hacker is much better than Process Explorer, plus it's open source :)

The points about the JVM not being able to guarantee that your code won't block the thread apply; it's left up to you to do it. This doesn't come as any surprise to me, nor I would guess to most users of the library, so I'm not sure this is really that damning. Core.async doesn't use bytecode weaving or fork/join, so those criticisms don't specifically apply.

FWIW, it's just going to be a metered paywall, similar to the NY Times (ie "You have read 1 of your 10 free articles this week."). I for one hope that people decide their well written, very important articles are worth paying a little bit of money to support.

This seems slightly cribbed from "Rethinking Best Practices" by Pete Hunt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7cQ3mrcKaY

On a similar theme, I did a blog post a while back on lazy quicksort in Ruby: http://mossity.com/2013/08/17/implementing-a-lazy-quicksort-...

Despite being a programmer, I believe Sarah is a woman.

Yeah, thought of Enlive when I read this. I wish this style of templating could get imported into Rails.

Could probably also include something like Sugar.js or Underscore.js that tries to bring a lot of the missing syntactic sugar to JS.

Looks like it should be possible: http://pow.cx/manual.html#section_2.1.4

I made this map of Brooklyn cafes conducive to work 2 years ago, can't attest to them all though: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214143523254713204966.0...

As always, the trick is to pretend you want to print it: http://www.everydayhealth.com/printview.aspx?puid=EB6220D4-B...

is it too late to suggest an epigraph?
