Totally agree with the landscape (SF) and the bookstores (Cambridge). I love hobyy/game stores as well (we have one in Waltham as well as many in Cambridge). I hope they do this as on the east coast some time. I'm a long time ADOM

I'm embarrassed to say that at the present moment we currently don't use ES clustering but rather a monstrous powerful bare metal machine as we had issues with the cluster failing with some network issues we had with Rackspace. BT

I'm on the east coast as well (Boston). Although I dislike San Francisco for taking away talent and attention from Boston I wouldn't consider them weird compared to local Cambridgites. You want oddity come to Cambridge MA. To be

I would say OCaml particularly with a potential killer app of MirageOs. Stat usage wise it makes Haskell look mainstream... but serious real world code is written in OCaml (I would argue maybe even more serious than Haskell :P ). The users

Yep... I was the first agent@cc.gatech.edu circa 99-04 (I wonder who owns it now). Advance apologies if you knew me then... I was an inconsiderate a$$hole at the time. I'm still an a$$hole but less inconsiderate.

I don't understand why people need such ridiculously fast systems when we are using RabbitMQ and crappy Apache flume and we generate more than 5k with spikes of 50k messages/second. Please author of the article tell me your metric

Ha... I live in Waltham right on the edge of Newton and I think I saw the guy and I assumed it was just a new fangled baby Bjorn. At the time I just assumed the baby wasn't attached. If I lived somewhere else it probably would have mad

I have always felt Twitter could do a better job doing recommendations. Sort of help me find things I like better. Not just content. I have really started to like Four Square automatically giving me tips when I walk into places. It seems li

Ahh.. figured it was hollywood bull$hit. It seems like every movie still has dudes lifting weights in a court yard. I have no doubt about doing one arm pullups making you strong. I just recently accomplished this myself but I had to loose a

This seems to cover a small part of it. Also I don't know much about prison but I assume inmates have access to weights (or maybe that is just a hollywood stereotype that I have picked up). I suppose though while you are in jail if you

I have always thought a good book (probably a novelty but whatever) would be how to prepare for prison. For example what sort of physical training + psychological training + diet would be optimal. What sort of defense training would you stu

o. There is a new address@hidden family of operators to transform the value of `parameter'. Can anyone show an example of that? I'm not sure I understand that feature.

I'm not even sure a flow chart is worthwhile. Other than looking cool and sort of funny you might as well just have a bullet point list of requirements. It certainly would be quicker to read a list than go through the chart.

I hear you. I use to make Bustelo when I would occasionally smoke cigars on a nice summer day... even then I would add cream.

Cuban espresso is often made with robusto beans which are very strong. So your theory might be true. Many cuban restaurants I have been to in Miami use Café Bustelo which to be honest probably wouldn't be so crappy if the roast-to-serv

Why is it any economical success outside of the US is considered a problem? There is this constant capitalistic journalism need that the US must win on all fronts. Any success outside of the US "is a problem". For example if China

Are there any IaaS' that offer access to GPU hardware. I have always wanted to play around with this stuff (as I'm completely ignorant of GPU tech these days) but I'm not interested in buying hardware. EDIT... apparently when

I sort of agree and see that trend but on the other hand some projects are flourishing on Apache. My biggest gripe with the Apache community sphere is it is pain to contribute (I mentioned it here as well: https://news.ycombinato

We would seriously consider GitLab if they supported Mercurial. I am so annoyed with atlassian (another company that perhaps could pay attention more to developers). I like git for OSS but we love hg for our internal projects.

I agree most usages of bluetooth are not going to be good (hence why I said "perhaps"). However I have a Cambridge Audio DAC with a bluetooth adapter that does have aptx and A2DP support. Does it sound better than the straight 3.5

I can't properly describe the cultural phenomenon but there is a sort of intelligent/privileged/rich get-out-there demographic that has been on a steady incline for some time causing gentrification of many rural areas. Sort o

Even with in the same state and county it is pretty mind boggling the differences from hospital to hospital. For example in Massachusetts where we are known for having some of the best hospital there are still certain hospitals in the great

One of the challenges I have had particularly with small teams (aka startups) is deciding what is worthy of failure and how to avoid fatigue if being too aggressive with what failure is. I have found if you are not aggressive with what a fa

I'm curious. Do you not like the switch because it is dispatching locally and thus might end up a with a giant switch statement or because of the String type? Or in other words is that you would you prefer OOP polymorphism dispatch or

I too like it as well but because of a different author and story: "The Last Question" by Asimov [1]. It is a short but a must read (and it is free to read as well). It is one of the most beautiful and optimistic scifi stories. As

I'm curious how many people think about the Universe and how frequently. I think about it all the time and I'm not a physicist. Probably a solid 30 minutes a day usually before falling asleep. Almost religiously (ironic). I have t
