Why would they not include the inter-satellite linkage capability? That doesn't make any sense, given that was a solved problem in the Iridium constellation 20 years ago. That was a huge benefit of Iridium, in that it didn't hav

Varies quite a bit. Some deployments are high CPU, high I/O, some are basically idle. All are running the same docker image.

Try explaining to people that Kubernetes may not be the best option for large-scale hosting. I'm currently dealing with people who want to have a 'one pod per site' deployment model for 500,000 customers. Do the math on how

Unless you're performing some magic elsewhere in the codebase, this will leak connections if an exception is thrown since you're not closing the connection in a 'finally' block. Alternatively, depending on your version

After reading their 'How It Works' page, it looks like they load the DOM into headless Chrome, let all the JavaScript events fire, wait for rendering to complete, and then serialize the DOM afterwards. Whereas with just rendering

Python 2.7 has terrible thrashing in the way the GIL is acquired that is exacerbated as more threads are used. Dave Beazley has given great talks with the technical details: http://www.dabeaz.com/GIL/

If you ran a game written in C++ that kept running out of memory and crashing, would you say C++ is "heavy"? Solr (and Lucene internally) maintain large in-memory data structures as well as memory map (usually) on-disk segment fi

"IO-bound multithreading is fine" has been the Python mantra for the last 20 years. Lo and behold, someone actually gathers some data and comes to find out that is absolutely wrong. For the last few years they've had a reva

No, they're not. Is IntelliJ "doing it wrong" to release every three months[1] ? Absolutely not. A release can change things about a product, and you want to ensure you are pushing those changes (UI, behavior, plugin APIs)

You don't have to stop to reload at empty, you can just keep feeding the magazine after every shot or two. 50 (2 3/4) shells isn't an unrealistic loadout.

That's only a valid comparison to mass shootings, which are a tiny, tiny percentage of gun deaths. By comparison, referenced in my other comments, if someone really wanted to kill everyone in a theater they could do it with a container

The problem with this argument is that in the timeframe the Orlando shooter was given (3 hours), a shotgun could have easily been a mass casualty producing weapon.

It's the substitution problem. The argument (seems to be), "If we ban semi-automatic rifles, that person who wants to kill all those people won't be able to harm anyone." History has shown us this simply isn't the

It looks like the 1,500 number includes all deaths of children under 18. However -- without going into that particular dataset -- these numbers are normally inflated by gang violence and include 17-year-olds killed in shootouts with police

Just out of curiosity, where would you draw the line? Mini-14? Shotgun? SKS? Is it a capacity issue? caliber? detachable magazine? or a combination?

I like the analogy of swimming pools. I don't _need_ a swimming pool, and having a pool by definition makes neighborhood children and visitors with children to my house less safe. In fact, children under 15 are about 40 times more lik

The GP qualified that this is better with newer JDK versions. For instance, in Java 8 you can do: IntStream.range(0, 100).filter(i -> i % 2 == 0);
