As a French, living in Germany after a couple of years in Denmark and in the US, I really enjoy diversity of languages to express opinions and ideas. English, as spoken and understood by most of the people is a very limited language, it is

From the announcement: "Migrating applications developed against the previous Qt version 4 is straight forward, mainly requiring a simple recompilation." So, I suppose that the PySide bindings will be ready in no times.

For the old people, before we had MySQL, this is how we used to have "guest book" on websites. With auto-updating Perl CGI scripts.

Interesting, with Firefox, without incognito mode, the page is found but with Chromium in incognito mode, I also have a Page Not Found error. It looks like they are doing some kind of browser sniffing or requesting to be signed in without s

Bare metal, the best is OVH. You get a server in 1h in France or in Canada. You can also get instances for pretty cheap but I have only used them as throw away test instances. Oh, they have free bandwidth between all their datacenters, even

If you serve the US market Joyent is maybe good, if you serve the EU market you have way better deals with EU providers. Joyent have some servers in EU but they are just collocating. EC2 is available worldwide for good latency. Joyent love

You can also use Doozer(d)[0] which is similar to Apache Zookeeper[1] and Google Chubby[2]. [0] https://github.com/ha/doozerd [1] http://zookeeper.apache.org/ [2] http://research.google.com/archive/chubby.html

One thing that everybody forget is that with agreement with the main power producers in Germany, the government of Gerhard Schröder (10 years ago) started the plan to built the network to link North Germany to the South for renewable energy

You also need to add that the parser of Pandoc is not regular expression based. It is a very robust parser, parsing the document in an internal abstract tree you can easily modify. You can also adapt the parser to your needs with simple ext

I start to be annoyed with the "a power efficiency of 2 is the standard in datacenters". My servers are hosted in a datacenter with a global efficiency of 1.15, proved after more than a year in operation. Announcing that Google is doing 1.2

It is a well known practice. In this case, you can easily load the same configuration and replay the same queries on the Perl and Go servers, then compare. This means that you have only a single component to test. Supposing the author had s

About 2 years ago (time is flying) I explained how I did the same to support range queries over "n" attributes, the method ended up being in the book " MongoDB, the Definitive Guide " by Chodorow and Dirolf (O'Reilly): http://chemeo.com/do

If the openness is increasing the number of citations of the articles in open journals it will affect the impact factors of the other journals and may force them to switch to open access later. I am really interested in the results as I hav

I am surprised how close the results are in my case. It was often really hard to say this one or this one. Near "draw" for most of them. Trying the Blekko "/monte" way as proposed here it was 50/50 Bing/Google (a bit more than 5 tests). I a

Good catch, in fact it totally fits with the description of the service as a store and forget for compliance and access only a small subset in the case of retrieval requests — for example when storing customer records. I also must say that

Basically the same problem in Germany. The kid is officially adopted by only one father even so they are recognized as same sex couple by the authorities (in fact the biological mother had to agree that the kid would be adopted by a same se

The real problem here in most of Europe is that if you allow same sex marriage, you give the couple all the rights of a married couple. These rights include adoption. This is the main driving force against same sex marriage in most of E

Very nice and easy to use. One nice thing would be to be able to have: - the ability to change some of the assumptions, for example, 2% return on the savings is not what I have in my records for the past 10 years. - a small pie/stacked grap

I have the same trace in my logs and I disabled the key for the moment. For a quick translation because the page is in French: If you have a server with OVH, they setup by default a secondary SSH key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 which is

Sorry, not being English my comment was maybe not really clear. They do not buy on the grey market (they are the largest hosting provider in Europe, 120k+ servers) but they carefully select the drives to have only the ones with the best rel

1. The list of countries from where you can order servers is expanding on a regular basis. If your country is not there yet, it should come in the future. 2. You have 2 300GB with a RAID card (battery powered). So, you can put in RAID. For

Another approach is something like OVH SSD servers (24GB ECC memory, 2x300GB SSD, £210/month) https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/mg_ssd_max.xml If you are using MongoDB, you take 3 or 4 of them and shard and you backup with "conventi
