Not really, but I don't use it that much, except maybe with tmux or less.

The Dead Sea scrolls have versions of Daniel that are significantly different and rearranged than the Masoretic text. Also there are some very interesting and pivotal discrepancies in some of the Kings texts.

This is solid advice. At my last company we had SOLR. I think we would have even qualified for what most people would call a "fair" use case of a search stack. Millions of items in the catalog, and millions of users to go along wi

I have to agree. I'm getting up there too. I'm the second oldest person at my current startup and I looked around yesterday and realized that I wasn't that much more valuable than the 23-26 year olds I work with. I think I&#x

Yeah, I'd heard that was possible. Is it because the SQL server team abstracted their system calls?

Is full sql server containerizable? If so, how would it work?

This is a good point. I hadn't thought of doing it bare bones and trying to sell it right away.

Fair enough.

Not exactly. I think it could be a good business, just not one I'd be interested in running.

The research company probably would never, but after a patent expiration some lowly commodity company probably would (if it made them even a little bit of money).

JavaScript was the first language that I learned, and I really got to know it. I could tell you the ins and outs of prototypal inheritance, how function declarations are hoisted, but expressions are not, how the only scope creator is a func

Most of the time you will hear this community downplay the importance of post-graduate work in finding success in tech. This is true. You, by no means, need a master degree to have a successful career, monetarily speaking, in tech. However,

I don't agree with Snowden's actions completely, but, on the whole, he acted in good faith. I think the mass dump was a little ill advised, and he maybe could have thrown his lot in with slightly more responsible journalists who c

My response was about his math and physics: If you scale the radius of a sphere by one unit then you indeed get an order of magnitude increase in volume (bits of info), but that's not the correct model! We don't increase by on uni

I did read part II, and I think his analogy is off. Memory isn't linearly limited (it happens to be in the processor, but this isn't a given), I don't even understand why he brings circles into his conception of memory. Mem

Nah. Sorry cache-misses don't count as part of a theoretical analysis on complexity. Why? Because you're getting into specific access pattern performance. Complexity is about "all things being equal". Is it the only thin

As someone who has worked at quite a few startups this is the wrong question to ask. Out right failure is pretty easy to detect, and it kind of doesn't matter. A startup failing fast is the second best outcome (after a nice exit) for

It's an interesting hypothesis, but it presumes all engineering for manufacturing is done in China, which is usually not the case. It was my impression most manufacturing in China is "offshored" by American firms. I have no i

Sounds like this article is bunk from the comments, but I have simple answer for why they won't own it, or at least why it won't even matter: Automation. With automation eating labor to the core, the supply chain (cheap as it is,

Kind of. I like centralized service though. I can take my Toyota into any Toyota dealership in the US and they can bring up all the service records on my car. Within the 100k mile warranty every Toyota dealership has to fix, for free, any i

Most startups never make it past their first year, but for those that do I think this is the biggest problem they encounter. Especially if there's a sales team, the temptation to say yes to prospective customers is enormous. A lot of f
