How work kills us 8 years ago

Point of government is not to give but, you know, to govern.

In communist countries millions of people were killed, so you probably should pick better examples.

Well, for such use cases Google is a better tool indeed. I personally know my neighborhood and never google what is down the street. And if I need dealership I will try to find it on car maker website which is easy to look up even using search engines from 2001.

Build the foundation of your service mesh.

Not directly related as Unit seems to be advertised as app server primarily, but you can see quoted text on main page.

Regardless of keyboard type, key switches are mechanically imperfect and are subject to contact bounce — instead of a clean transition, the switch rapidly bounces between on and off states several times before settling. Bounce time depends on switch technology, for example, for Cherry MX switches bounce time is claimed to be less that 5 ms. Though exact probability distribution is unknown, basing on related empirical data, we can assume that average bounce time is about 1.5 ms.

This is amazing. I thought I knew everything about mech keyboards, but this opens new perspective.

Testing is usually regarded as an important stage of the software development cycle. Testing will never be a substitute for reasoning. Testing may not be used as evidence of correctness for any but the most trivial of programs. Software engineers some times refer to "exhaustive" testing when in fact they mean "exhausting" testing. Tests are almost never exhaustive. Having lots of tests which give the right results may be reassuring but it can never be convincing. Rather than relying on testing we should be relying in reasoning. We should be relying on arguments which can convince the reader using logic. http://www.soc.napier.ac.uk/course-notes/sml/introfp.htm

user space version of the NT kernel (known as NTUM - "user mode NT")

This is pretty neat. Wonder if people could use it to run other Windows stuff on Linux

Edit: formatting
