We'd have to be careful of apps that game the system by installing some super-small/innocuous service that would hit Google Play once/day just to keep your usage statistics falsely high -- even when you don't open the ap

He's saying get an _extra_ serial board (put it into an ISA slot) that has the 16550 on it. Back then, this was a common way to get around what you're talking about.

Ok, are they businesses or individuals? What are they using it for?

Anybody have any idea what the distribution is here for consumer vs business? I've literally never heard of anyone, company or individual, paying for Dropbox.

That's not a counterpoint in poor-person logic. It's a counterpoint in you-the-guy-who-has-more-correct-assumptions logic. This is what I'm trying to get across with my posts on this topic. People keep using reasoning from w

Man, the iPhone 5 really is not a very good example here. If you wear your super classy outfit to an interview AND you have the iPhone 5 instead of a prepaid Android phone (or worse -- a prepaid non-smartphone), it's going to show that

The problem is that when you're aiming at a group that's higher than you, you don't know exactly what they do and don't know and what they can and can't tell the difference between. Thus, you may think that you hav

First time I had seen CRDT as "Conflict-free" instead of "Commutative", but it seems to be a reasonably popular choice for C after some googling.

RTM is a massive outlier who isn't representative of the distribution you're describing.

Problems in finance, like computer science, can often be solved through a layer of indirection.

That's not storing a collection in a table. That's approximating the storage of a collection in a table by using standard RDBMS features. If you think these are the same somehow, I encourage you to think about the number of disk

I was thinking Southern American English, but I suspect we're on the same page.

There's something of a win here for just not having to deal with the storage facility, at all, yourself. The contracts for those things are long and confusing, the people I've dealt with there are incompetent, and the one on 12th

Hmm, I certainly don't follow Twitter engineering very closely, but I was surprised not to see any mention of Storm here. Why wouldn't it be involved? Maybe I'm misunderstanding some of this or Storm.

For sure. I've worked with plenty of developers who sound like 5-year-olds when they don't get their way. They can't control their speech, facial expressions, anger, etc. Pretty important stuff: http://en.wikiped

Lots of them seriously won't leave, though. The tech market is incredible in Seattle (where I live) right now and I know plenty of smart devs who put up with bullshit all the time.

Most devs I've met will just endlessly put up with this shit. They'll also put up with: - long hours - far less than optimal physical workspaces - being left in the dark about what's going on in the company from

Thanks for this post. It's very difficult to keep up with all the stuff going on in the DevOps world right now and figure out what goes together, what competes with each other, and when there's overlap. I feel like we need some s
