Can you elaborate please? Are you saying that systems like Postgres, Oracle, and SQLServer are not ACID?

I almost considered doing my python development full-time in a windows vm because PTVS looks amazing.

Just to be clear, this isn't (yet?) a make or break deal. We have a child together and have just entered into a mortgage. I may change my mind to make her happy. She may change her mind because our financial situation has changed (mort

I was going to make a joke about "her money" in my comment, but didn't think it needed to be made :)

I can assure you, she is.

If she wants to buy her own jewellery with her own money, that'd be similar to myself buying scam coffee. Unfortunately, that's not what is being proposed (heh).

My partner and I have been having an argument about rings for a long time now. I have told her that I'm willing to buy a man-made diamond, but she won't have any of it. "I'd rather have nothing than a fake". It does

That was such a small part of the article I don't think it's even worth calling out. Sibling comment mentions the relevancy to the actual graphic, that's probably all it is. Author also called out her own negativity previousl

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering how you would share the location of the file between jobs though. Can job 1 output a file location that job 2 accepts as an input? I see there are plans to write up some documentation, but are there

I have a workflow that I'd really like to automate/rewrite. A wav file is generated on a remote server. That server will rsync/scp it to a processing node. The processing node will query a database, and write out a text file

We use Django for legacy databases, both as a readonly way to access data in a managed data warehouse and to replace an application that had not the nicest schema to begin with. Routers to the rescue. Of course if the database you're w

Is there an easy way to check our own servers? I can see the fix is to add !EXPORT to the end of the cipher list, but how do we check that the server requires the fix? Really disappointed with this announcement. Some of the other named expl

Yes, Robocop did do this to me. It was one of the weirdest movies I had watched at the time. It's been a long long time since I've seen it though, I'm probably due for another viewing. I watched the remake a few weeks ago. It

1.7 has migrations (huge), app loading refactor (big), system check framework (big, but relatively internal), and custom lookups API (cool, but not fully utilised yet). Most of the other features were smaller niceties. 1.8 has public Meta,

No, there won't be. If you upgrade to 1.5, then 1.6, then 1.7, then 1.8 using the release notes from each version, that's your best bet. Any guide moving from LTS to LTS would just be a copy paste job between incremental versions

Broken by design is leaving data corrupting bugs in the framework when a fix exists, just to preserve "working" code. Granted, there are still a lot of backwards incompatible changes that aren't so severe. But every single ch

There aren't that many dependencies without py3 support anymore. Of course, if your project uses any then being stuck on py2 is a given. I still don't think projects should port to python 3 unless they need to be moved forward or

My Credit Card company doesn't do text based concierge service. I would have to call them. The making a phone call is the bit I don't like. I haven't used the service so I have no idea what to expect with regards to storing

My Credit/Debit card offers concierge service but I've never used it. I'd have to find the number (or put it in my phone..), then speak to an operator, and then trust that they could deliver on what I expect. This service is

I find it's easier to explain the answer when you consider 100 doors. You've selected 1 door out of 100 - which is a 1/100 chance of getting it right. The host then opens 98 doors, leaving you with 2 doors - the one you selec

Multiple CPUs don't help for a single request, but the majority of deployments use processes (and threads within the processes) to run multiple requests in parallel. You can definitely saturate all the CPUs with a single Django applica

LIMIT/OFFSET isn't the optimal way to do pagination either, because the database has to scan to offset before fetching the limit. I'm having a hard time trying to find the particular resource that dives into it, but here are

Thanks for sharing. Can the SPDY frontend only be tcp based though, not http? The reason I ask is because my setup does all the routing (path and subdomain based) with http frontends.

Does your company use google apps for email? If not, can you understand why some companies do? Same thing IMO. It's a calculated risk that is OK for some but not for others. If I was managing the IT dept for a government security contr
