Can anyone recommend a SIP phone for OS X? As a semi-aside, I'm really tired of paying for skype since the service is so awful and would happily redirect my money elsewhere.

I rarely charge my iPad more than about every two or three days. I'd have to use it pretty heavily to charge it every day.

It was a sort of medium sized thing. In the telco industry. They've since been subject to some kind of acquisition, which I assume was part of the motivation.

The blog post is from June, but the code I'm talking about predates redis by about three years.

The other subtlety is in being able to prevent the server from servicing requests when it shouldn't be (to avoid consistency issues). What you don't want is a client not aware of the new configuration -- or reading and writing before the ne

We expand and shrink clusters in membase under heavy load with no issues. The worst thing that happens is that it takes longer some times. There is no inconsistency. It doesn't look like redis is doing exactly what we're doing, but sinc

I got a C&D from a former employer once for anything I wrote and had on my web site during the five years I worked there. On my attorney's advice, I wrote them back and asked them to be more specific about which things I had on my site

Lots of differences. node.js is an async development framework. Tornado is a synchronous development framework that is slowly building up asynchronous alternatives where the need is great enough until it eventually becomes twisted or peop

Well, a couple of reasons. One, as they explained there, C++ exceptions weren't very good when they wrote the bulk of their code. The second reason is that writing exception safe code is hard in C++. Combining those two, you have code tha

I reject those commits right off the top. The things you are complaining about are all things that I enjoy about gerrit. I tend to rebase on pull and use cherry-pick as the submit mechanism so it fits naturally into the flow of my groups.

We know about this and we also want it. We had some preliminary planning last week on how, exactly, we want to approach this. We can't commit to when we'd be able to deliver it just yet, but it's definitely high up on our lists.

Everything remains open source and community editions remain freely available and fully featured. From that perspective, nothing really changes except each will get the best of what the other has to offer.

Thing is, all of these things are available as is from non-legitimate sources. From what I've seen, someone with couch potato, sickbeard and a place to get content will have a far, far better media experience than any subscriber to any exis

It's fun to look around at the limits in terms of how long it'd take you to do it with a 56k modem. 250GB, which they consider pretty high, would actually take a while: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=250GB+%2F+56Kbps But smaller val

The C one is using the most incredibly small font I've ever seen in a document. It took me a while to realize there was actual content in the pages. Then I zoomed in a thousand or so percent and could make out words.

I'm pretty happy to not see PDFs anymore -- especially for ebooks. I can easily convert these to PDFs, but I can actually read them on my Kindle or iPad. I can't do that the other way around from PDF (though I technically can read a PDF on

The worst ones do half of each -- they tell you that you entered a Visa and didn't press the Visa button and ask you to go back and press the Visa button. Thanks.

That's kind of neat. There were a bunch of web-based clones of "M-x regexp-builder" out there for a while. This is the first one that actually looks like it does something more interesting.

I wrote code for this ten or so years ago. I don't say that to brag, but to express my annoyance at every credit card form I encounter on the internet. Why do you ask me for my number and what type of card I've got?

Do you really uncommit that frequently? I just either amend my commits or keep adding new commits and squash them later. The point is that you can make just about any workflow with git. The ones that git users less commonly use may not

> The question is: Why would you commit (to a stable branch) when your code doesn't build or pass tests? Because: a) It's not a stable branch. It's my dev branch on my local box that nobody else can see. b) I feel like it and there's n

This misconception always bothers me: "In Mercurial you can’t change previous committed code. In git you can change the past commits in the repo. I am sure there are cases where the linux kernel needs to do this (I can’t think of any), bu
