That's precisely the point: a low-performance platform causes you to need to scale and bring out complex system architecture way earlier in your project's lifetime. Systems that would be just fine on a single cheap server using h

I am biased, but I disagree. I've reviewed projects where teams have attempted to compensate for the performance problems of Rails and Ruby by scaling (dramatically) horizontally. Projects that are simple in functionality but have do

On my grossly overpowered workstation, I can only crank the number of workers in the Mandelbrot demo to 20 [1]. Attempting to go beyond 20, the console reports: RangeError: out-of-range index for atomic access That said, 20 worker

I'm in the tech industry, so I am sympathetic to your view, but you must realize this argument is silly. Energy requires technology? Yes. Technology also requires energy to power... well, everything. Manufacturing requires technolo

That is a sentiment I share at times, however, as a score voting advocate, I'd like to point out that the consolidation of candidates we see over the course of a campaign, and possibly the small size of the initial field of candidates

True. But there are 50 of them in the United States. While moving to a state with more sensible laws is obviously less liquid than spending your money elsewhere, it's nevertheless a marketplace with 50 participants and they do learn

It's funny that people are downvoting you for your opinion. I don't share the opinion, but downvoting is not for matters of opinion. Whatever. In any event, I was about to add to my earlier reply that the modern M5 looks quite f

To my eye, the overall body shape of the Model S has since its initial conceptual renderings and then at its launch appeared similar to the Jaguar XF. And in my opinion, that's a good thing. I'm not thrilled with this change to

Fantastic. I think I'm going to give Arq a trial and see how it works for my use-case.

by bhauer 11y ago
This sounds great. To my mind, it seems an approximation of Tarsnap but on Windows. Is it possible to use Arq to backup to network connected disks via Windows SMB? In other words, is it necessary for me to use one of the supported cloud p

I respect the work these researchers are doing. But to be blunt: if I had that kind of sensitive data, there is no way I'd even consider having a WordPress on the same network. I'm not a security expert, but I like to think I av

Agreed. In fact, there is overlap in what you've just described and what I call "Personal Application Omnipresence," [1] a model of computing where applications run to service you (and your family) but are made available to

I hear what you are saying. I have a very large number of cores in my workstation and it's disappointing/frustrating how many applications—most poignantly, Mozilla Thunderbird—are in practice single-threaded. Even using Firefox

Awesome. I've not been following it as closely as I should. Is there an ETA on Windows builds? Or is it too early to say?

For what it's worth, I don't think it's just you. Innovation is a diffuse thing, though, and I often find that when I perceive innovation as stalled, the truth is that innovation is simply happening in places I don't car

That looks a lot like the element builder function that Fastmail put together back in 2012. https://blog.fastmail.com/2012/02/20/building-the-new-ajax-m... I too am fond of that approach.

This is a bit of a tangent, but is Wi-Fi becoming more finicky in general, perhaps due to spectrum congestion? I find I somewhat frequently have Wi-Fi related problems of the sort you're describing on a variety of devices. It seems W

As someone who uses a fixed standing desk without a chair, aside from a desire to do periodic squats, I don't see the appeal of a transforming desk. But I know I am coming at this with a totally different point of view, and everyone&#
