   This is not a 'problem' I'm trying to solve. I do this because I truly believe this IS the best value I can add to the company as a whole.

   My old desktop-based email reader could do it though. I definitely feel like I lost something here. Even just a KEYWORD* search would be an improvement, and that does not require a bigger index.

   I'm a software engineer in a software-centered B2B company. They all use the back-end system, and our clients use the front-end. During the day I may solve up to a dozen small problems, which might be a small customization of the font-end f

   In Gmail you can search your own mail but whole words only. Searching for PROPEL will not bring up an email containing the word PROPELLER for example.

   I work in an open plan office and I hate it. I am constantly annoyed, inconvenienced and I can't get half as much code written as I do at home. The designers, salespeople, tech-support staff, managers and accountants I work with, however, l

   Only a million dollars? That means the government can shut down Bitcoin any time it wants.

   Would it be possible to hire a large number of servers just for a short time and take control of the whole chain? Is it just a matter of time before this happens? You could combine various cloud providers' servers and black market zombie ma

    If you have any kind of trouble with depression the first thing you should always check is that you exercise and eat right. It really makes a huge difference. You may also need to experiment with different drugs to find one that works for y

    So this NZ court decided to let him out on bail and give him access to his bank accounts for 'essential expenses'. I think that's pretty decent. Unlike what the US did with his entire company before even starting a trial.

    Layoffs are bad for morale either way, but one big round is much better morale-wise than 20 small rounds.

    There's only about a million industrial robots in operation worldwide today. For Foxconn to turn around all those iPads (for example) in only a month or two requires about million people right now. The scale of what they do is just staggeri

    Apple ALWAYS takes a few days to officially respond to issues like this one. A week is about average. I guess they really have high-level people considering their moves from a PR perspective, or maybe they like to run stuff past their lawye

    OK seriously that was some of the best support responses to a customer complaint I've read in a LONG time. The support person was super friendly, spoke to several devs internally to get a good resolution, and really tried their best to help

    If you run RAID 10 on a busy system and a disk fails, everything keeps running at full speed until you replace the missing disk and rebuild your redundancy. If you run RAID 5 or 6 and a disk fails, suddenly every read operation becomes seve

    Yea 100GB is tiny! Our database is several times that big and we're just some random B2B company with a few dozen employees. And we don't use sharding or whatever, it's all just one machine with lots of RAM. We've not even moved it to SSDs

    People have been warning developers to 'get ready for multithreading' for at least a decade and somehow everything is mostly the same. Mostly because of abstractions (e.g. on GPUs) and also because the USERS of our software are ALSO getting

    If you don't know the requirements to the point that you can't even design a data structure for your project... A schemaless database is NOT going to save you.

    Right there with you. The excuses I hear for not wanting to use a good 'ole RDBMS just does not make sense to me sometimes. CREATE TABLE too hard? Time consuming? Difficult? Those who do not study the history of databases are doomed to repe
