(I'm italian) Some international pasta brands (e.g. Barilla) have different cooking times depending on the country/market. I moved from Italy to Germany and noticed the +1 minute in many types of pasta, so I always compensate. I

Behind this there is the wrong assumption that there must be a replacement for all. For sure there will be gaps filled by other powers, but it's not necessary, we just got used to it.

like central park? It's grass and asphalt without a tree, in hot days in summer becomes a furnace. Better put some buildings AND a nice park

What do you mean for "behave", there are a lot of usecases that require more than 8GB memory (expecially for developers) and there is no CPU magic that will help you with that.

Interesting, but still I don't think your comment is very relevant to this. Without cows we could have a forest instead of grass, instead of leaving it to rot. So if the number of cows remains constant you benefit from reducing methane

If you don't need the sea, I suggest some cheap german city like Leipzig or Dresden. Another not so common idea is Bulgaria: cheap, very low taxes (flat 10%) and a lot of english speakers (expecially in Sofia). I've been there sev

If there was something better than Spark for distributed processing, we would be using it. The rest of your comment is a straw man argument, assuming everybody uses it for datasets fitting in memory of a single node.

For research, I created experimental RDF storage on top of Parquet and Apache Spark for querying big graphs[1]. It converts the RDF graph in a sort of property graph, where we have a row for each entity and where the columns are the all pos

Does anybody have a price comparison between this and storing stuff in S3 bucket and loading it all the times?

by matteuan 6y ago
We use Lambda with S3 as intermediate storage between different steps, sort of multiple-stages map-only MapReduce. And we still use Hadoop on premise :)

Wikipedia spends more than that only for "Donation processing expenses". Of course it is a nice contribution but, in my opinion, very small if compared to the huge value that Google is able to get for free. https://wiki

Tipo 00 is not special but very common flour n. 405 (german system). Many tutorials refer to this flour like there is something special inside that will make the pizza better...but there isn't.

Under 10 seconds on which query? If your query involves big joins over a large distributed data-set there won't be a technology that can do it for you. SPARQL is not the problem, you can write the same queries in Cypher or any other la

The only way to test is if you talk with an expert and he says you have understood. There are many things in linear algebra that you can use in practice even when you didn't really understand them. This is the reason why self-studying

It's impressive the amount of content inside! There are countless pages about literature, religion and physics. It's a good reminder of the original goal of WWW: share information.

You judge "with respect" my experience instead of answering to the argument. So why is it easier with Docker?

by matteuan 7y ago
You are assuming that developers have enough knowledge of Docker to deploy in production confidently. Why is it different for other ops skills? What "degree of reliability" does Docker adds over bash, for example?

The author addressed exactly this type of comment. I don't see the real difference in complexity of maintaining 12+ bash scripts instead of the same number of Docker files. And for the deployment, the alternative given by the author is
