The fact that it's called the "talk back bot" automatically puts the author in the victim's chair. To think that a TWSS joke in a chat room not directed at you personally is offensive to you smells of deep irrational insecurity to me. A sus

What makes it beneficial for ripping/distribution groups to coordinate like this? I've previously seen them agree on a common standard for the number and size of rar files a release is to be broken up into, and other things i can't remember

fn-arrow left/fn-arrow right is a pretty pathetic substitute for actual home and end keys. I've never used a Mac for a prolonged period of time so can't speak to other points, but I am baffled at how people can do anything without those key

Meh, who cares, TC was always yellow press to begin with. An added perceived conflict of interest doesn't change anything in my eyes, just adds to the drama of it all which is what the site thrives on in the first place. On a more practical

Everyone keeps framing this as a competitor to the iPad, but it's going after a market that is not currently buying tablets at all. People who can't afford an iPad or don't want one at the current price:features ratio. If this means anythin

That is definitely plausible, but I'm more referring to the feature set, i guess i would clarify as the contract between them and the developer. That is basically memcached, from what i understood from their blog posts. As far as memcached

by thadeus_venture 15y ago
So this is just a simple way to get some memcached instances running. I guess it makes sense for amazon to target memcached since it's still the most popular caching system in use, and probably the easiest for newbies to get into, but it is

I think one point has been ignored so far - this will be a really boring place to live compared to an average city. Can you imagine being stuck on a boat or a tiny island for years? That sounds like punishment to me.

Am I the only person who thinks this is a stupid question to ask? Either you are talking about a huge corp where you have employees that you can't trust to be honest about the amount of time they dedicate to the company, or a smaller compan

Have you ever heard Guido speak about the issue? He and a number of others don't think it's one worth solving. Really. Yea it may be a lot of work to create a new GC implementation and change the threading model, but if you want the languag

The most frustrating thing about Python is its community's complete denial about what a joke their concurrency situation is. Truth is python is not truly multi-threaded, and no, claiming that multi-process is the way to do parallel computat

Agreed with previous posters that there won't be one system to rule them all as there are a ton of use cases. Having said that every single system out right now sucks badly. Every one has some serious flaw or flaws. I'm not knocking anyone

Does anyone by any chance know if there is a version of the riak python driver that does not use google's protobuf implementation? I'm looking into using riak and hearing this does not exactly instill confidence, as riak uses google's proto

Frankly, even a developer relations position can be a technical position. I personally think a developer relations person who does understand the inner workings of the code base he represents, or at least demonstrates the ability to underst

From the article: "However, no attempts have been made to optimize the Java VM, the SQL queries, etc" Emphasis being on optimizing the sql. We have run tests comparing neo4j and postgres, and postgres comes out with greater throughput for o

Funny thing though, a well designed relational database will execute your graph queries faster. It won't do generic graph queries faster, but if your sql data model and code are optimized for the type of graph data you are storing, sql will

This article is so full of such silly generalizations I'm not even sure where to begin, or whether i should. "I did an informal survey of different Los Angeles based Information technology companies. One common theme: although espousing a c

It's tiring because it's unjustified. There is a spectrum of users, not two separate sets. Scoble is saying what he is saying because it's emotionally satisfying for him to feel like he is part of some elite, while basically he is just a we

What kind of impact would having used something like sha-512 with a 128 bit salt have had over md5? How many more cycles do those take to generate? I assume the attacker had to brute force the salt from a known password as well, if that's s

Wonder if the spelling mistakes are strategically placed then. Or does Mr. Barr really spell that way. He's like a 40+ year old married guy.

Thank you, that's very interesting. "Going nuts" with MongoDB is exactly what I'm contemplating right now at my start up, and this is something I haven't quite heard before. Is there more info on the double update issue anywhere? It sounds
