ACID transactions have been a standard part of MySQL for almost 5 years now, and an optional part before then. It's nothing new.

SELECT "http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/" || thrid as URL FROM (SELECT thrid, count(thrid) as post_count FROM posts GROUP BY thrid) WHERE post_count > 1000

Unfortunately, it seems to return only one result. I suspect this is because of threads having posts deleted. For example, see http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1204983387/958. It would be far simpler to search http://dis.4chan.org/prog/subject.txt. (Maybe you could use progscrape to do that.)

it returns two results for me:

http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1212965784
http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1223245977

both of them are the result of a bug.

< skampler> is paws a javascript re-implementation in javascript?
<+elliottcable> skampler: uh, programming language, fully async (the
                first, I believe), heavily bootstrapped in libspace,
                super-simple syntax, super-simple central concepts,
                reference impl is in JavaScript and intended to run
                equally well in the browser and on the serverside, uhhhhh…
<+elliottcable> did I miss anything, guys?
<@alexgordon> it's crazy
< skampler> okay!
<+elliottcable> skampler: nope, it’s an *entirely* new language. Bits were
                inspired by JavaScript (as well as Io, Ruby, Python, and
                Objective-C)… and I’m told the end product is semantically
                similar to Lisp in some ways… but no, it’s not an
                implementation of any existing language
