I think I've seen all of the Redis/Valkey issues the author mentioned in production. * Outages where Valkey had no memory policy, ate all the memory, and then caused write errors to its append-only file. Bonus points for another o

Sadly, Moore’s law is often cited, but never read. It’s only 3 pages. http://cva.stanford.edu/classes/cs99s/papers/moore-crammingm... But to further needle, the law is

Are those numbers reversed? Should it be a $750k house at 3% is a $500k house at 6%?

In your hypothetical, why did you choose to have the African kid raising siblings, the Asian kid have a Tiger mom, and the white kid be on honor roll with no external factors?

It cannot be about removing the DAC, there's still one for the internal speakers.

I wonder how much of the "sticking out" is self-imposed. At times, I have felt the same way as you and the author have expressed. At others, I think I am making it up. It's stressful to feel like every move is scrutinized bec

I don't like anecdotes like this because they back the assertion Stop and Frisk does societal good. It implies that police are able to discern the difference between "good people" and "bad people", and that "st

Cars to computers always seems to be a poor analogy. But you can replace the ECU with one of your choice. In fact, there is an industry designed specifically for getting better performance from your car by customizing the ECU. Isn't this th

I fail to see how anyone can recommend homebrew as a viable solution to package management on OS X. You have to compile everything. Coming from apt-get or yum makes brew, port, and fink look like a joke.

This is anecdotal evidence from them coming to speak at my college, but... Walmart controls almost all of it's logistics. Whereas its competitors use other shipping companies, and have inventory sit in 3rd party warehouses, Walmart builds h

So I would argue that the matching problem with many different styles of socks is O(n^2), since we first must select one sock appropriate for the occasion, then rummage through all the other socks to select its match. This does have the pro

Clearly, Facebook is in a different PHP area than your bog-standard $3/month crowd. Facebook has an advanced PHP tool chain that compiles PHP down to C++ (hip-hop)and they reap performance gains from that. They also built PHP repl (phpsh) b

This is the second comment I've come across in this thread. At first I would tend to agree, but let's consider that the "suits" probably have jobs. And if they were at YCNYC they obviously have more interest in startup culture than the mill

I would find your claim to be slightly outlandish. Even if we assume that you could simulate anything known to humankind with software, you would still need to invent a thing to properly simulate it.

This is exactly what PHP does. Yes, it issues you a notice, not a warning, not an exception. And it does not break execution. Just set your error_reporting variable to a lower level, and you won't get the Notice at all.

I'd go for sheer package numbers, and also MacPorts traditionally has had much better support for Python packages, and the rudimentary python_select. Macports says they have 8199 packages. Brew has 1626 by my unscientific count (hint: $('ta

I hope not as well. Lots of the replies seem to be stating a difference between 'science' and 'values', but the fact is there has been a long history of using science or pseudoscience to justify claims of inferiority amongst other humans. S

iPhone passed Nokia in terms of smartphone sales in dollar terms. Apple does not ship more units than Nokia. It's quite amazing really, that Apple comes in as a late entrant and shaves all the massive profits off the top, leaving the rest o

This article was ok, but the title is pure sensationalism. The author even concedes that he doesn't want Drupal to fork PHP. Maybe I missed the point of the article then. Seems to me the point was another article that talks about how bad PH

Personally, while high oil prices hurt in the short to medium term, hopefully it sends the US economy towards less dependence on oil. To me, this is a good thing. I just hope the US is smart enough to invest in reducing demand rather than i

I am somewhat biased to view that as an opinion rather than as fact. Symbian has always had a much lower overhead than iOS, and Symbian has also been very good about offloading processing tasks to specialized hardware rather than relying on
