I've been wondering the same thing. One of the contributing factors is definitely that everybody already knows it. We've been forced by years of web development to have an understanding of it, so being able to reuse that knowled

that would be an excellent solution. Makes it easy to use and very clear to both the sender and the receiver.

wouldn't it be more interesting if you enabled the linking ability on any text? If I use the ~ syntax, I lose the actual name of the record. If it was possible to just link any text to your posts, it would be a lot clearer.

The timing tells me they're trying to get some attention while Atom for windows is in the news. Still, good way to do it :)

That's definitely an option, but it also makes you far more responsible for the company. It could also lead to co-founders feeling unimportant and less worthy. As with everything, treating things like adults and communicating about t

Damn that causality. High performance would be so much easier if causality wasn't there :p

I took it to mean that the problem would not be given in this way unless there was an exact solution. In the stated version, there are no degrees of freedom specified, so there can be no degrees of freedom in the solution. In that way, th

I did not know that. Is that true for all their package repos? or only for main?

The cheat is absolutely brilliant reasoning.

I agree, though as bcoates indicated, cloud hosts are adapting to this demand. While bare-metal access is indeed very unlikely to happen in a shared tenancy environment, there will be at least some efforts towards lower-level access.

That is very cool. Where would you go from there? It seems if you're already so fast that you can start replying as soon as all the data is received, there isn't much more you can do. Or are there techniques for going beyond tha

that is a very interesting project. How does the 170ns latency compare to others? This isn't really my area of expertise :p

Quite a bit more to it, but it does sound like it could be a fit. We'll give it a try when we get to the point where our regular intake methods aren't enough :)

Most likely, split it up and feed it to a distributed internal system that can handle the data with slower processing than the single machine can.
259.
by chton 12y ago
I'm aware of that, but if we could reduce dedicated hosting to a single machine through simpler code, we can feed the information from there into a cloud system. It helps a lot if the machine can be a general purpose one, since that re

This is usually the problem, almost every single option I've seen is based on dedicated hardware. This is fine for many, but not for those of us running in cloud hosts and other general-purpose locations.

If it's easy enough to use, it might be interesting for other too. To give an example: my own project is a message processing system as a service, intended for (among others) the massive amounts of data that come from IoT gateways or

Indeed. I'd also like to know if there are any alternatives that offer similar performance in an OSS wrapper.

That's a risk you take with all package managers. The ones on linux operate on basically the same principle, with (usually) even less oversight. It's a public gallery that everybody can publish to, so the trust/distrust sho

That is an argument against literally every updater or automatic check for updates. It applies equally to Chocolatey and to any auto-updater they could have used for Atom. Please go back and find a better reason.

by chton 12y ago
Then you should also be giving chocolatey a good look before rejecting it out of hand. It's a good system, it works, and it has wide support. It may not be quite as popular as Steam, but rejecting it purely based on 'I don'

But I bet you're cool with using Steam for games? Chocolatey isn't new, they run on Microsoft technology (nuget), and they have support from Microsoft themselves.

I'm using "Optimize for readability first" from now on instead of the usual. I'm not sure if I'd call that 'optimization', but it definitely gets the point across a lot better, especially to newer develope

That's exactly the problem. Because Pioneer was spin-stabilized, it didn't need to fire thrusters, so the noise wasn't there and the anomaly could be measured. Voyagers aren't spin-stabilized, so they have to fire thru

by chton 12y ago
that's a good point. It's impossible to measure the effect of this on the Voyagers because they still constantly fire attitude control thrusters to align themselves to earth. The noise on the speed from those firings is too much
