Any manager of a technical group who says open plans result in a better product or service are either (1) lying because "open" is cheaper (more bodies per square foot / meter), or (2) completely ignorant of the concept of con

If its not-negotiable, then get over it, and use a language that meets your requirements.

Why anti-patterns? Pandas makes a great companion to a database. Aggregate / reduce large datasets (>RAM) efficiently in a DB, then pivot in Pandas, and perform non-SQL-support analyses in Python. Same can be said for R. iPython is

Nothing to do with the mythical concept of "Big Data" here. Not necessarily a bad post, but the "Big Data" title misleading.

The ports give you the option to configure the build, where as pkg uses preset options, correct?

Production would be Supermicro servers (8-16 CPU, 48/96/128GB RAM), with either banks of 10K RPM SATA drives, or a mix of SSD volumes and HDDs. All RAID-10. Some servers are SSD only (< 8TB) that are used for current period (mo

In my case, a Linux personality is not a terribly interesting feature. All of my existing code and apps run on BSD, and FreeBSD is comfortable enough. What I am looking for is a solid ZFS implementation, a stable OS, and performance (IO and

Would these be people writing "production" code in Go who need generics, and for some reason have not been instead using a language with the features they need? The whole continued argument is odd. The "whole generics are imp

Can the internal SSD be replaced, or are you referring to an external? Is the RAM still limited to 4GB on these as well? That is what killed the idea of the Pixel for me.

Why? If you are using a platform like that, would you not be adept at building packages from source? I agree that Ruby is likely already installed on those, but having watched co-workers fight version dependency problems with Ruby Gems on O
