You are factually correct. However, availability isn't the problem ECC memory intends to solve. The problem with memory errors is that they are silent. You won't notice them until something goes misteriously wrong. And that can be anything,

I find this idea of a lack of ECC memory on servers disturbing... This is the default on almost all rack mountable servers from the likes of HP or IBM. Of course, people use all kinds of sub-standard hardware for "servers" on the cheap, and

An old PC consumes about 90W of power, a Raspberry Pi consumes 2.5W. That's a 36x difference. And you would still need something to interface the PC with the rest of the electronics, just as you need something to interface the Raspberry P

Well, and has Kickstarter considered the impact on people not trusting the information provided? Have they considered that this may ruin their business?

And... Newton was also wrong. His theories ended up not "overarching" at all, but flawed for aspects of reality that he didn't know about/didn't think about/had little data for. CS has lots of similarities with physics, yes. But the devil i

How is that different? A microkernel can be superior in theory, while still being stupid in practice. In theory you can ignore the realities of communication, in practice you can't. That looks like the definition of a theorerically superior

If colored "ls" had been standard from the early days, I'd bet that people would be praising how useful it is, and wondering how can you live without it. But many *nixes still don't have it and people that made a life using them get into th

No traces of this block in the public Internet doesn't mean it isn't being used. It may be in use in some internal network(s) instead of a private address range (yes, that happens).

Desktop applications on Windows are particularly prone to this kind of thing. If you happen to have an english version of Windows, but the locale (timezone, currency) set to another region, many applications assume you also want the interfa

"developers who think their job only involves coding" Definitely this. But I object to the "bad developers" part. More often than not, this is a result of the environment and not of the developer himself.

That's probably not an error. It's like phone numbers starting with 555, so that it isn't accidentally someones' phone.

What does "private" mean in this scenario? In most dictatorships, secret police forces may be run by the state, but they serve the private interests that run the state.

I don't really understand the problems these "init" replacements wish to solve. I mean, actual, real-world problems. To me, it's just another instance of the same worrisome trend that brought us NetworkManager and makes everything evolve to

"makes me suspicious that the developers they care about are Mac/iOS developers" No surprise here. It is very clear that the Mac is becoming two things: 1. Just a bigger iPad that isn't too awkward to use where your average consumer can act

Versions has been the single "feature" preventing me from upgrading to Lion, and it makes me sad that things haven't gotten any better in Mountain Lion. I want to be in control of what I save, when I save it and IF I want to save it. Versio

by CrLf 14y ago
What exactly happens when you do this? Do we get the old (sane, pre-Lion) behavior back, or does it just disable versions leaving everything the same (which is worse)?

You are suggesting that people picking up their phones and playing games or checking out the social networks during dinner or other social situations is a thing of the past. It is not. Not only that, it is becoming more and more frequent. A

The point isn't about me reading tutorials to learn Git. The point is about convincing people to use Git by pointing them to tutorials and have them come back with blank stares and "why do I need this exactly?" questions.

That doesn't explain the fundamental part. Why is there a staging area in the first place? Place yourself in the shoes of a subversion user, the workflow is very simple and intuitive given that: 1. the repository is a (remote) place whe

This is unfortunate for what it means for future Qt development (which is uncertain). I only used Qt briefly, but it was the only time I actually had fun programming in C++.

Sorry, not going to drink the kool-aid. There is something to be said when almost everybody you talk to hated their first experience with Windows 8, and those that didn't, feel the need to make excuses for all the faults they found: "this a

Well, that happened to me at least once on Linux, ten years or so ago. I don't remember if it goes backwards up the tree or just one level (I think it's the latter), or if the current 'rm' protects against this or not. Imagine you place you
