Unfortunately, a vm solution won't work with certain vpns, such as Cisco's. I know firsthand as I've tried it.

How do you define "major"? By "10+ years ahead", are you referring to techniques for addressing very large datasets in memory?

You might be interested to know that "The Thing" was filmed in my hometown[1]. I remember visiting the sets as a kid, seeing the freaky dog models, etc. The local museum still has some of the film props. And yes, my town gets a lo

I wonder if there are similar cardiovascular benefits for hot tubs. Could it be that it's breathing the hot air in the sauna that's beneficial rather than a general increase in body temperature? I'm asking because we are thin

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm assuming a shared database. So cascading deletes would be defined in the table's schema. Let's pretend we're using Postgresql: \d Person [A bunch of table schema stuff] Reference

The "each service owns its data" scenario shouldn't take precedence over cases like this, where consistency is aligned with obvious business rules. If Person gets deleted, then "on delete cascade" should take care o

This is a review of what sounds like a hysterically paranoid book. Elon Musk plans to build a secessionist "clever colony" on Mars to escape the heavy hand of the government? 3-D printing will never happen because of the "Bon

Yup. This is why we moved away. When you go to an open house and every single person there except you is speaking only Mandarin, including the agents, then you know your time is done.

Well, I'd like to take some real credit, but all I did was sign a petition and mutter darkly. There was a lot of opposition and I guess every name made a difference. As far as climbing the Chief goes, get up here, you aren't getti

We fought a similar gondola project in my town and won. Developers wanted to build a gondola to the top of the Stawamus Chief, a big granite monolith on the edge of town. It got shot down. The fact that it's a provincial park probably

It means Loci will perform similarly to C and C++, not that C and C++ have some particular overhead that Loci doesn't.

They are also shunned by many large shops on the server-side. Where I work now (70,000+ people), there is a strict "no Microsoft on the servers" policy. The "average boring old cube farm" uses Java. Microsoft = Windows +

Nope, no conversion to MS formats were involved. I recall googling it and it is/was a known issue.

Yes, exactly. Strange as it is to say, possibly the closest thing running on modern hardware would be TempleOS.

Unfortunately you were downvoted, but it wasn't so long ago on HN that every second story was NoSQL this, NoSQL that. There were even "SQL is dead"/"relational DBs are dead" posts, just ridiculous. So it's

I had a look at your Twitter feed but I didn't see where you named the specific supplements you used. Can you list them here? Curious to see what they are. I've only ever found tongkat ali to produce a noticeable effect.

That assumes the wolves would stay on your chunk of land. But of course they wouldn't as their range is typically much larger than any individual property. Privatisation ignores things like ecosystems.

Okay thanks. I only read the article, not the slide deck. Hopefully "high performance culture" isn't a synonym for "sweatshop".

Since when is London Fields considered "bad literature"? It's certainly not in the same category as the other two. Amis sure has his detractors. I'm not from the UK so maybe that's why I don't get it.
