You should check out Database Systems: The Complete Book. Those papers have a lot of that information, but it's usually a bit buried. > What system calls do they make I think that's actually kind of out of scope for a paper, be

"halfway decent database" is a very vague notion. What would that even be? Something similar to SQLite, MySQL, Cassandra, VoltDB? Are you talking about write ahead logging of flushing dirty pages from the buffer (aka sequential or

You could buy a deep cycle battery and a charge controller and run several raspberry pi off of the battery for several days if there was a power outage at a pretty reasonable price (~120$)

Yeah, I guess I thought they might have something a bit more spectographically advanced to determine molecular makeup rather than just backscatter (something that might distinguish teflon with it's abundance of fluorine from organic ma

Hi, Have you tried concealing things under a couple of inches of a biological material and wrapping that to the body (beer gut, pregnant lady)? Specifically, I'm thinking a a few large chunks of ham, coupled with some transglutaminase

I didn't say there is a consistency problem, I quoted FTA. My suggestion actually has nothing to do with the price of the object, it only has to do with the server state of the object (product) and whether or not that state was updated

There’s a consistency problem: the price may have changed between the time that we received the order and the time we looked up the product. To patch it up, we attach the product price to the order: What you

We already have that, it's called the Builder pattern.

For a while, we told all our friends they could only tippmanns, preferably just the 98 custom. Some trigger upgrades were allowed as well as any barrel, no e triggers. It was actually really good, since most people would end with relatively

An easy way of knowing if something is a MLM or not is whether or not it is based in Utah county, Utah. Young Living, NuSkin, Xango, Tahitian Noni Juice, Usana, Neways, etc... Magic products to be sold by stay-at-home moms because they neve

Makerbot is owned by Stratasys for over a year now. They don't have 5 years experience, they have 25 years available experience to tap into.

First off: Because this functionality is in HTTP spec itself, I believe it should be leveraged when it makes sense. Otherwise, why even bother with HTTP and response codes? Secondly, because you don't need to parse a JSON response to m

I'm not a big fan of reproducing data which probably belongs in headers and shoving it inside the URL, in case of a request, or the JSON body, in case of a response. For example: range/offset requests, status codes when there are

My boss is Tony Johnson. He helped with SLAC's first website (first website in the US, and also the first database driven website) and wrote MidasWWW. Among other things, he mentioned going to the first web conference (where he met eve

That would be part of the plan. My use case is the iPython astrophysicist use case, where users tend to be very interactive with their dates and times. In fact, that's why I made the query language, because it was necessary for dataset

I'm working on something similar where we have a file system like structure in a database managing tons and tons of files and metadata. What I found out works best for me is: 1. A virtual file system which interacts with the database.

It would be cool if python could support date/timestamp literals. I've implemented something similar in a query language I wrote, where dates are represented similar to ISO 8601 format: d'2014-12-01' t'2

Maybe not so ironic given that the first website in the United States was a DOE project- a DBMS for papers (SPIRES) at SLAC and arXiv.org was born about the same time out of LANL. You used to actually get your papers faxed to you from arXiv

I'm not sure about Stumptown, but from what I've heard Blue Bottle still gets a portion, however small or large, from importers. Here's a somewhat dated article on the issue where Blue Bottle talks freely about sourcing from

The biggest advantage to self-driving cars is that you don't have to buy a car, so the car doesn't wander aimlessly, it just picks somebody else up and taxis them around.

I went to Puerto Rico recently and one thing I remember was how strange it seemed to me how much more popular Burger King was versus McDonalds there. I'm not sure if this is a general Latin American (including Miami?) trend, but I just
