You get what you pay for. Having been a former indinero customer, you can't outsource positions that need a skilled individual's labor for a fixed price assigned to a constantly changing labor pool. What you get back is crap. Whet

Awesome! I used this the other day and it is great. The site seems to be down, I recommend bookmarking it and coming back!

There's also the issue, in ruby, that CoW doesn't really work due to the fact that the GC dirties all pages.

Furthermore, I work for a company that both pays for closed source repos and uses open source ones heavily. There are a large # of hybrid OSS/paid companies out there these days. The original author sounds like a pretty out of touch PM

I agree and disagree with your point. It's incredibly hard to determine how much good a new CEO has done, and how much is inertia. I think that's a strong argument against the incredibly high CEO pay in contemporary companies, it

This is true to SOME extent, but the amount of interference in china is on a whole other order of magnitude. For instance, read this July piece from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/16&#

To some extent, yes, but 'slow' languages usually delegate batch work over large datasets to optimized libraries. Even more likely, as I see it, is this contributing to the increasing rise of tools like spark, hadoop, etc. Slow la

I think we agree more than we disagree! I agree with you that a lot of them are simply awkward. I'm trying not to make them into villains, and I apologize for striking a somewhat harsh tone. I think that is deeply unfair as well! Conve

You've got a point. I'm sure being physically attracted to someone enhances or diminishes the effect of their actual approach. Additionally, attractive people are more confident, and confident people tend to not behave in as many

What you say about 'if the female is attracted' is incredibly wrong, and I can speak from personal experience (as a guy). It's NOT about attraction, its about being, well, creepy. I didn't find this out till I started hi

I try to switch to FF every 3mo. or so. EVERY TIME I try it gets sluggish if I have even a modest number of tabs open. I really like what Mozilla is doing, but why is it that they just can't make a browser as snappy as Chrome?

Dude, I hear your protests, but your attitude really does suck. Life isn't fair. The sooner you learn to be happy for others versus trying to keep score the more people will like you. You sound very bitter. I hope you find what you nee

The point here is that the government can be smarter than the market. The effort required to educate enough members of the public that microbeads are bad to the point that they become unprofitable is WAY larger than the point required to co

Glad to see cloud formation getting some love. The real problem with CF however is that if something goes wrong during a CF deploy you don't have enough control to stop it. If CF doesn't have perms to remove an interface or someth

These studies that equate lower mortality with good for you ( that is always the implication ) are quite harmful I think. When people say "I just read something that says coffee is good for you again" that's where the harm is

Interesting, This would be Amazon's version of Found ( https://www.elastic.co/found ), which is Elastic's (makers of elasticsearch) aws based cloud solution. I wonder what this means for cloud search? I should not

Well if x% of repos remain up that goes a long way. Right now it's all or nothing. Also if you're going to respond include a reason why you disagree

I've always wondered why github hasn't considered switching to a distributed sub domain layout to help ameliorate this problem. Surely if they spread their infra out that would make ddos that much harder. A subdomain per user or r

This is a cool explanation of the technique, but maybe the author can share why they built their own tag database vs. using elasticsearch or postgres, both of which natively support trigram indexes (and in ES's case arbitrary ngrams).

I'm not sure if you realize that the poor hold on to a ton of debt in this country, and a large part of it is their inability to dig themselves out of the holes they're in. Now, it is true that financial literacy is tends to be lo

This is interesting but not exactly surprising data. Of course as the distro has the core components have been linked to more often. I'm not sure what the purported utility of this is.

Interesting story, but even she admits she only made a handful of sales. While she may be #1 in a super-niche category that doesn't actually seem to be worth much, so I have to wonder if that's part of why she wasn't caught b

There's nothing concurrent in this case, parallel sure, but concurrency wise this is all shared nothing. And languages are not faster than one another. They are faster at certain tasks but the variability for a given task is really cas

Why are you so sure that it's not common? I keep reading articles like this and I'm inclined to believe it's more than a coincidence. I dearly wish this woman's experience was an outlier but that is hard to believe. I tr
