Not really a fair comparison. If we're comparing to USB keys, you should at least compare to ephemeral SSDs rather than EBS SSDs. Unlike EBS, your USB disk isn't made for 99.999% durability, doesn't allow snapshotting, etc.

I think he's referring to the source code, rather than the game itself.

Cash use is about on par with most other countries. Credit cards & mobile solutions are slowly rising, but cash is still widely spread and necessary in some cases (like paying for public transport in certain cities, etc.).

The fatality rate would be the same. We do not have any treatments available for any of the Ebola strains, as such our only option is to limit the spread. Whether developed nations are better able to do so, I'm not sure.

If permissions could be granted not ahead of time, but rather when they're needed, you could simply update the application and just ask for permission when the new functioanlity was actually used.

You can't just compare storage on the capacity, you also have to account for speed. Even these days, 149GB 15k RPM SAS drives are popular for non-SSD usage. Long way from 4TB, but they outperform them any day when it comes to semi-rand

One could only hope. However, I don't see this changing the S3/CloudFront decision that much. I'm not sure if we're special, but on our bill, requests cover about 10% of the CloudFront total, compared to the transfer price, while requests c

It's not just audio files; we've been seeing the same pattern (though actually even worse, as they request not only overlapping ranges, but the complete file, multiple times) on iOS5 for MP4 files: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/609455

I may get the patent on the smart cover, but I don't get how they could've been granted a patent on the flip page animation. The patent application is overly simplistic and clearly covers just the idea/design of the animation, rather than a

Most of those issues stem from people recording with 30FPS. Having ridden thousands of miles with my GoPro's (1 & 2) mounted on my motorbike, I've come to realize that the quality is way better at 720p@60FPS compared to 1080p@30FPS. 120

I don't agree that most secondary indexes are high cardinality. Some definitely are, but there are plenty of indexes with low cardinality, simply used for quicker scanning of those relevant values. First up, in his example we're talking abo

He already is using prepared statements, that happens under the hood when you use parameterized queries. Problem is the lack of type definition (in the first revision), causing a new compilation for each length of the varchar column.

There are quite a lot of inaccuracies in this post, as well as hints that don't really mean much. First up, the non-SQL-injection code doesn't specify the parameter types. As such, each length of monster_class will result in a different exe

I wouldn't go as far as saying he's explicitly known for making racist jokes. He is however known for (and markets himself as) being politically incorrect - which may very well include both racism and chauvinism.

We are not, completely unrelated. The surnames are spelled differently too - Christensen (show-off) vs. Kristensen (BlogEngine).

Just to give a short recap of who this Mads Christensen guy is, coming from a Dane: His tag line is "Denmarks big show-off" and he basically markets himself as a provocative bragging show-off, always with the rolexes, sports cars, slick hai

While this is an awesome idea, I can't help but think about the humongous potential for abuse. Were the logs to be leaked, stolen or otherwise compromised, you now have a goldmine of potentially vulnerable systems. Even if the results weren

The columnstore indexes are purely read-only; they will not be updated without requiring a rebuild. However, you can create columnstore indexes on specific partitions, and thus, by partitioning your source data, you can continue to add new

Lots and lots of countries don't have that, and it's no problem. The smallest coin we have in Denmark is the 0.5 Kroner one, worth roughly 10 cents. If you have to pay 1.24 Kroner, you pay 1 and if you have to pay 0.75 Kroner, you pay 1. Yo

As the others mention, read performance is bad while in a degraded state. However, seeing as they're running their log on the same drives, they have quite a lot of write ops as well. RAID5 is notoriously bad for write performance, just as R

As there are lots of comments lamenting the fact that anyone might actually use this, let me give my perspective. I currently work for, and have been since the start of this whole online 3D-pageflip catalog business started back in ~2006. T
