For all the janky looking URLs I get from eggs that only have like twenty tweets, half of them janky looking URLs, I don't believe anything is trivial for Twitter's spam filters.

From firsthand experience, the PostGIS extension for PostgreSQL is fantastic. A couple of my coworkers at Basho have done geospatial work with Riak, our scalable, distributed database: http://basho.com/indexing-the-zombie-ap

That's so indescribably worse than just killing that process the mind boggles. Breaking in a simple, predictable, and detectable way vs. corrupting data and hoping (excuse me, "praying") nobody notices.

Spying on all of the email isn't simple either. When there's a will and a bottomless font of taxpayer money in the name of national security, there's a way.

Yes, this is pretty common for printers installed in service desks at the airport. However, they tend to not have overly-branded stock because in the irregular circumstances you tend to get a pass from a service desk, you might be rebooked

Usability. One time pads have been around forever, are provably secure, but a pain in the ass. Modern symmetric ciphers solve the "you need to securely exchange as much key material as you wish to send data" using mathematical for

I'm confused as to why you'd need a third-party for this. The Authy app is better. Look at the screenshots at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id38849... . The buttons are ugly

Sterilize & release programs for feral cats work; the sterilized cats compete for the same resources as unsterilized ones, but are more effective and longer-lived because they don't have to support reproduction. This not only means

It does a merge sort, and I can't see that you can opt out of it: https://github.com/basho/riak_kv/blob/master/src/sms.erl 2i doesn't use mapreduce in normal operation.

Secondary Indexing Improvements: Query results are now sorted and paginated, offering developers much richer semantics So the results can be sorted but are not stored in sorted order in the secondary indices? Secondary indexes are stored

This "poison" is easy to deal with - just go again next year and win it. At what cost, though? From DHH's post: When you expect to win, it’s merely a checked box if you do — after the initial rush of glory dies down. Winn

The credits at the end state that most of the actresses were hired through a firm in Portland, so I'd assume he's in Oregon, where summer days aren't 90°F.

That's one of the reasons Java ships its own; if some systems have different or absent system databases, Java's should still act the same as it does anywhere.

Lawyer-resistance; remember the situation a year or so ago when the tzinfo files were the subject of a patent claim? Oracle's weren't at risk because they have lawyers on retainer.

I wonder if they could just use a simple locking scheme to prevent more than 1 parser from parsing the same feed at the same time. This sounds simpler than conflict resolution, to me. You may want to check out Aphyr's "Call Me Maybe" seri

I believe it's part of Riak 1.4, which is our next release; no date yet. The number of entries in a 2i isn't going to bog down querying it any more than lots of objects bog down LevelDB. Make sure your indexes have the right content with th

Assuming you are using Riak's default configuration each range query hits 1/3 of the cluster, which could get pretty hairy on large clusters that have lots of requests. Also, there is no pagination, so if an index has a million objects you

For the listing/deleting problems, have you looked at using LevelDB and secondary indexes (2i) to make range queries cheaper? Disclosure: I work at Basho, makers of the Riak database.

If websites are using the fonts correctly, yes. However, it's not worth it for that use, and it's especially not worth it playing Pokemon (gotta catch 'em all!) with all the web fonts you see around the internet. It is useful if you work on

Unlike Call of Duty, you don't get points for killing in real life. Wasting an enemy's time and hurting their morale on a pointless task trying to detect and disarm explosive devices that don't exist might be more powerful than a single one
