Securing an database at the software level is not necessarily ideal for many use cases. Typically, I secure private resources via firewalls in the networking layer. A properly configured firewall with intelligent routing rules makes up for

That doesn't seem quite right. C extensions can release the GIL and still continue running. So long as they are not operating on Python objects directly it is safe.

I agree. Even developers who are well aware of how to write thread-safe code probably don't even bother with mutex locking in Python. That code isn't poorly written... it's just code targeting the implementation.

Those type of salaries only really exist in San Francisco bay. The marketplace is actually pretty competitive for such well paying jobs. But keep in mind - $100k SFBay is approximately $65k for most of the rest of the country. The US Doll

I guess I don't understand who requires less than 1ms latency on ACID writes in a system accessible only through socket interfaces. Even so - isn't this benchmark simply pushing the requirement of fast disk syncs onto a fast flas

That's kind of an odd metric to begin with. Radius would probably be derived from the imperfections in the consistency of matter. Whether that distribution is gaussian probably depends on the fabrication process and the materials...

A 100GB bloom filter? What does that mean? How many hash functions.. how many bits?

You might be conflating software graduate students with research developers. I have translated a lot of research code into production code; whether it be sourced in Matlab, incomprehensible C, confused C++, or convoluted Numpy. Okay - so g

The idea in general is well understood, the popular HDF5 library has an IO driver which essentially memory maps structures in this way. Numpy also allows for memory mapping numpy complex structures. In the past I have used this strategy f

I have never seen that idiom used intentionally, I would almost always suspect it to be an accident... but perhaps there are valid use cases in function composition. The more likely reason it cannot be deprecated... people actively use it a

Probably not much. But really think back on your training arc in the past. When I am in my training phase doing krav-maga, lifting weights, biking... yeah, I need thousands of calories to feel healthy (I never really counted how much). But

As an outsider looking in - it appears app developers have decided that operating system integration is not desirable. I have heard various reasons for this ranging from; "We can do it better" to "Allowing users to escape yo

Bay Area (East Bay): Compared to most places I have been, it's very nice. But there are a few things about much of the Bay Area that I dislike. - Drugs are everywhere. People are smoking pot on the streets, smoking meth in the bathro

Personally, I prefer to perform such optimizations on 'load' rather than on 'store' (as recommended by dgelks). This is particularly useful if you may want to change your optimized image format. You would have a canonic

Developing Lambda is an absolutely terrible experience. Tightening the integration between CloudFormation, API-Gateway, and Lambda would really improve the situation. For example, a built-in way to map requests/responses between API-

Machine learning libraries practically assume some sort of GP-GPU will be available these days. And most software developers are unwilling to go back to being tethered to a desktop for work. A lot of developers are using what is essentiall

Conspiratorial or not - on Google platforms, 3rd party applications are 2nd class citizens. Do you think an outside party could write Open-WIFI given the present service integration policies?

At that point the data will have likely gone full circle. So, maybe. -- Edit: Strike that. They're not actually providing any model data afaict. I assumed this was comparable to AWS's offering.

What the article is purporting is a bit mis-leading. According to the redacted opinion released by EFF's FOIA lawsuit - the context of the law is irrelevant to its interpretation in this specific circumstance. So it refuses to provide

The practice is typically viewed as pernicious behavior in both small and large companies. There are a few 'lifestyle companies' which have an ethos of developing in the the open. If you do not know if you work at one, then you

Ech, is that right? I don't understand `wordSizeShift`. I have always done bitset tests as follows: this.set = function(bit, value) { const index = Math.floor(bit / BitsPerElement); const offset = bit - (index * BitsP

Hi HN, I am looking for feedback. I wrote libSimpleCGI after years of running into cases where I needed to write C extensions for WSGI apps. Extensions born from either performance concerns OR legacy code reuse. I was curious if this is&#

Certainly, the EC2 instance time-until-nearest-hour should be integrated into virtually every service which queues or has priority.

Quite a bit of it looks scraped. I searched for a manual I have been after for a while and found the same PDF (which I found on google) which appears to be a manual but isn't.
