According to ancient Chinese wisdom, a day is divided into twelve 2-hours slices, and one is supposed to be: - falling asleep during the slice from 9pm to 11pm - remaining sound asleep during the slices from 11pm to 1pm and from 1am to 3am

> We can't easily know the state of the code, but we can easily read the number that you have assigned it. Exactly. To those who have been using 0.6.0_rc*, version 0.6.1 conveys the meaning "go ahead and upgrade, here's the stable relea

It is easy to feel overachieved when the deadline is tight. What we fear is to under-perform when given ample resources, when "it's on".

Yea, this madness about github profiles must stop. I cringe every time I see someone here pimping some github "projects" they whip up in minutes which obviously they have no passion in.

Well, the title is "Nginx Vs Apache in AWS", not "Nginx from apt-get Vs Apache from apt-get in AWS". If you can't install the latest stable releases, then don't write a comparison about them.

Actually, the title: "Why Amazon Hired the Lead Architect for DB2 and SQL Server to Run Its Cloud Empire" would instill much less confidence than the current one, consider how bad those products are compared to one that has proper architect

Sad to know. `httpd -k restart` was available since the beginning of time.

This has a simple explanation. Heroku was targeting the ruby-on-rail crowd, which more or less belongs to the "Stupid Rich" quadrant when it comes to hosting / deployment. Meanwhile, AWS has been a dominant presence in the "Stupid Poor" mar

SQL Server is anything but well engineered. What version of SQL Server are you currently running? Is it on the latest service pack only, or with the latest cumulative update applied? The later fixes critical bugs, but claimed to be "not ful

Great article. The most interesting part for me is that the JSTOR servers couldn't sustain continuous download from a wireless connection. If only they have more competent developers...

Just read the Chocolatey vs Ninite comparison [1]. For me, the biggest selling point of Chocolatey is its decentralized nature, making it useful for enterprisey deployment. [1] https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/wiki/ChocolateyVsNi..

Because space is not just another character. Space separates args.

by j-kidd 14y ago
From their FAQ, it says that chocolatey is "CLI focused". So, "C:\chocolatey" makes sense. Paths with space are definitely less CLI-friendly than those without.

Actually, it is pretty common to replicate the transactional data into another data store for analytical purpose. However, using PostgreSQL as the OLAP data store may not be the wisest move.

While the original article is unfair, I do think that the ratio of good programmers to bad ones is higher in the valley, thus the smugness. This is more like "valley versus the rest of the world", instead of "US and A versus the rest of the

You are comparing library with language here. Rails is vulnerable to remote code execution. This is comparable to something like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854757 - CVE-2012-4406 Openstack-Swift: insecure use of python p

I have never done any Ruby / Rails development, but this exploit doesn't look like it requires any proof-of-concept. My understanding is that as long as there is a JSON endpoint accepting parameters, and the parameters are used for query ge

Just because you got yourself into the mess, doesn't mean that database schema is suddenly bad. Data definition language (DDL) is a declarative and well thought-out DSL that can guarantee the business logic to a certain extent, at a very ve

I can change them trivially in KDE, so there is no need to stick the commands in .xinitrc. FYI, allowing mouse acceleration threshold to be set to 0 was added in year 2003 in KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31189 Anyway, I certa

Just tried E17 for the first time. Kinda bummed that the control panel doesn't allow setting mouse acceleration threshold to 0. Also couldn't find a way to change keyboard repeat delay / rate. Looks like more thought was put into eye candy

While your point is valid, I didn't expect this to happen with requests. Just two weeks ago, I was telling my colleague that requests is such a nice library, we have nothing to worry about when installing a new version. Simply grab the late

This is why we should maintain our own pypi repository. Your external dependency did nothing wrong.

Look out for the change to the Request constructor that makes `url` no longer the first parameter. Rather poor backward compatibility there.

You are describing EC2. Most other providers do provide proper persistence.
