   I found lz4 to be the best for general purpose analysis, it increased the throughput of my processing 10x compared to bz2. Then if you're working with very large files you can use the splittable version of lz4, 4mc, which also works a

   Adrian Cockcroft gave a much better overview of their open source projects here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2kKmMyqTfc It's two hours long but the first hour is sufficient to get an overview of their open source

   I said their IaaS is a cheaper alternative to AWS IaaS with the exception of their S3 alternative. I suggested B2 is the cheapest alternative to S3 do you have a suggestion?

   Centurylink has a pretty formidable IaaS offering, it's very well priced and they charge very little (comparatively) for bandwidth. The only problem is their storage solution is extremely expensive but using S3 or soon Backblaze B2 as

   I love this, it really helped me put into perspective the decisions a founder can make and how it can effect the later stages. I haven't worked in the startup world and I don't have a very good understanding of business so this he

   Looks great especially Gelly, but does this have to run on top of YARN?

   It can't be sentiment analysis because some items didn't have any comments but still had a percentage. Some other clues that we have is that the percentage didn't correlate with the color and that pretty much all the recently

   Thanks for sharing! Is there a repository I can subscribe to somewhere? I'd like to watch this project's development. I also want to add I love the documentation.

   Great project, I have been watching another similar project pretty closely: https://github.com/h2o/h2o I've always wondered, how many man hours does writing a small web server like that take?

    Thanks for the support, I can probably make it live by the end of the month I just thought that a lack of image and video support would limit its chances at survival. The browser fingerprinting idea is a bit more involved. The idea is that

    I have been working on one, it's not really ready for prime time yet. The idea is that it's a news aggregator that learns what you like, so it forms a probabilistic model of what it thinks your interests are and applies that model

    I'm not a big fan of cryptocurrencies, especially the blockchain, but if they did one thing they started up the conversation in government of how distributed electronic currencies should be regulated. So I think more experimental thing

    That's interesting, I'll take a look. I have been watching http://www.zennet.sc/ which is the closest I have found but maidsafe seems pretty interesting as well.

    I had a similar idea! I'm glad something like this is being implemented. The most important idea imo is that companies can never claim ownership of personal data because they never have access to it. Another cool idea is that if you ha

    In the US you can get access to worldcat at a lot of university, community college, and public libraries to get interlibrary loans from many different participating institutions. I have gotten so many obscure technical books on loan using t

    I don't need it but I preferred the workflow of mobaxterm instead of a purely command line workflow.

    With such a broad definition of a society you would not classify as a collapse what Tainter classifies as a collapse: a fast loss of social complexity. Additionally your definition might be better as a definition of culture rather than soci

    I found the book thought provoking and compelling. I wouldn't take what Dr. Tainter says as fact, like one would for a Math textbook, it's an argument (an opinion) which he defends in his book. His book is mainly about the first h

    You've missed the entire point of the interview. It's not that they literally are looking at your dirty pictures or literally looking over your shoulder to see every mistake or misstep you have ever made. The point is to take the

    This is incorrect, societies have collapsed regularly throughout history. A collapse doesn't have to be a total destruction of the society, it's most often a fast transition to a lower level of social complexity. One of my favorit

    This gave me a great idea. There should be a website with a bunch of programming challenges (e.g like making a Todo list app or write a data structure in an hour) where you can share your code and workflow. You could then view a bunch of ot

    I'm a little new to this but my understanding is that that would be the same as doing a GET request to the REST API. Which would have the same penalty for going over 30 req/s without an OAuth token. For example, this is what my ge
