Actually, eventual consistency for their messaging product makes a ton of sense, because any changes to states are a "push", so any "eventual consistency" is just messaging latency/propagation delay. That aside, you don't appear to be famil

Because it's Fabrice Bellard. Look at his ouerve, he doesn't bother integrating any of his projects into anything else, or put more charitably, dance to the politics of other peoples' projects. I don't blame him. Contributing to GNU project

It's probably due to most browser rendering engines not being tuned to handle that kind of resolution.

'ish. C exists in the middle territory between high (colloquially right now ) and "original" low-level programming. By all accounts, virtually any language that operates relatively close to the semantics of the machine in terms of operatio

It's fine on my machine. It's a software problem, not a hardware problem. Probably just your browser. Our frontend guy had a lot of issues with animation performance on the different browsers recently, he could probably speak to how big of

It's pretty normal these days to rely on GCC varargs. Among my people (the unix tribe), few care if Microsoft will ever support C99 or anything else for that matter. You can use a macro to swap between varargs/stdarg.h if you want to be abl

Forget grenades, what if they drop knives on people! We should ban multicopters before it's too late. Steak knives too. Steak is bad for you anyway.

I'd say that the lack of apparent concern regarding something as core and critical as auth is enough for me to write the whole team off permanently. I'll never use anything made by people so careless yet so self-aggrandizing about their own

Pretty sure you're right, most seem like they haven't done anything with Heroku than host their 200 uniques a month blog.

I would be happy to maintain a newbie's guide, syntax changes and all (I've read the meeting notes, I know what you're talking about) if somebody can help me learn enough Rust to know what I'm talking about. Edit: Fuck it, I'll make a websi

As someone who's tried (and failed) to learn Rust in the past: I'm going to elide any commentary about the syntax for now, as I know why it is the way it is (the type system/annotations). I'm basically just going to expound on one thing for

Your app isn't "serving" anything up, it's an event API. 100% different use-case than what I was talking about.

I was giving it the benefit of the doubt since there wasn't as much platform specific lock-in as GAE. But yeah, the single-homing is pants-on-head.

Considering their only support for sharding or replication is their async read-only slaves mechanism, I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about and think the difference between "1/10th of an overloaded EC2 machine running

The persistence scaling story for Heroku seems pretty questionable to me. Once you've maxed out what they offer for MySQL and Postgres, what exactly are you supposed to do? Start using EC2 RDS? Heroku seems to be like a more useful Google A

Incapsulating, in this context, isn't a word. You want encapsulate. Encapsulation. Encapsulating. The "en" prefix means put into or on something. You're saying you're putting something into a capsule or "isolating it". The "in" prefix in En

Where's the anti-robot car lobby? I doubt most cabbies are even aware of this. Further, I would submit that this is mostly due to the legislators themselves.

That's not what the courts have found, I'm afraid. The misconception about it being for states only is from the clause concerning well-armed militias being good for security, that wasn't a scoped restriction concerning that right. During th

I'd call it good enough, I was of the understanding that SQL database geo plugins were usually miserable. I'll add a mental exception for Postgres.

How quick exactly? I've been testing ElasticSearch's geo location search and most queries take 50-150ms. Standard term searches and filters will take like 5ms, with id GETs taking mere fractions of that still.
