Seeing the history of updates to the Mac Mini and Mac Pro why would anyone trust Apple with a high end desktop computer? The odds are high that they'll keep pumping this thing largely unchanged for the next 5 years while letting the st

It's not just a choice about selling out or not. Do you like being at your current venture or can you see yourself doing something else? Do you want to take it to the next level or not? If you want to walk away and focus your mind on

The other option Apple might consider by then is keep RAM at 8/16Gb but offer an Optane module in addition? Dunno if that'll be viable but it might be a better option.

"A key challenge for achieving these features is to jump directly to the correct position of a queried field with-out having to perform expensive tokenizing steps to find the field" - I think jsoniter does that (or something simil

"Since this experiment used targeted findability tasks, more time and effort spent looking around the page are not good" Meanwhile we now (maybe) understand why sites like eBay are SO effective for selling - they may be clunkier t

I wasn't being sarcastic - I like the fact that they replaced what needed replacing and kept what worked well.

I seem to recall IndexedDB was designed with the same thinking and that hasn't worked out so well. (Not talking about Custom Elements here since I don't know enough about it - the comment is levelled at the process). It's all

So many new UI frameworks, yet no one really mentioned SmartClient.com (LGPL licensed). I've been using it for almost 10 years and some of the concepts they pioneered have only recently been discovered by the new kids. I still use it,

"WAL-E compresses using lzop as a separate process, as well as the command cat to prevent disk I/O from blocking." Good to see people sticking to the unix philosophy of doing one thing well and delegating other concerns - cat

I knew it was a bad idea to post 'getting started' tutorials that skipped all the security steps and replace them with a 'probably don't wanna do it this way in production' (and usually no documentation on how one s

For the recursive issue we have a directive that lets us specify a recurse level. The server validates that with a maximum value. As for schema-less we generate a scheme that includes all types and fields but we filter out any non-available

I've all but given up hope on Apple bothering with 32Gb RAM. Been researching the Dell alternatives (XPS and Precision) for a couple of months now. Very tempting machines indeed. I just want to see one in real life to see what the bu

So much hate for Flash. Yes it has regular security holes, is CPU hungry and a lot of people used it to create some mightily annoying things.... But Flash was a gift from the gods back in the early days of IE and most people forget that. I

agreed. If people understand what Join Monster does then they'd see it is still suboptimal in a world where we have Postgres and LATERAL :-D

It does indeed. But remember one of the big sells Microsoft made was that with Windows 10 you would get continual security patches. Microsoft dug that hole for themselves. And to add, a machine released in 2015 (less than 3 years ago!) tha

Very interesting write-up - I use DefiantJS http://defiantjs.com regularly and it seems to work similarly but instead it pre-processes the data into XML and then uses (fast) in-browser xpath to do searched

So in 12 years time when Windows 10 is as old as Windows XP we'll be back to the same security nightmare that Windows 10 was supposed to put an end to? That's a bit disingenuous of Microsoft - they've been parading the '

Conceptually that is fine but there are complications (speaking based on recent and ongoing experience on a project I'm working on): 1. When you have multiple entity tables that are inter-related, snapshotting one in isolation is not s

Yes, Postgres all the way. We don't use PostgREST though we construct the same type of queries.

That's really cool - we're doing the same thing, translating entire queries into a single SQL statement!

When was the last time you heard a set of patched together IBM software being 'intuitive', let alone 'more intuitive' than Palantir's built-for-purpose product? I'm experienced with both IBM software and Palant

Seriously... Op could quit his job, then go tell his employer he'll maintain the system for a fixed monthly subscription. They'll have less headcount and op will be free to pursue other activities.

Here's the rub: people who actually buy Xeon CPUs and high-end GPUs want those parts to be replaceable and upgradeable. It's why the G5 MacPro lasted as long as it did, and why the 2013 MacPro was comparatively a straightjacket!

No mention because nothing has changed - 16Gb is still the limit on MBPs :-( I heard a whimper about courage...
