Shouldn't matter, this query shouldn't hit the data file. Clustering would just make fragmentation worse. I'd like to see the OP verify that it's only hitting the index file though (see my other post).

When you insert in sorted order into a b-tree (as you do with timestamps), later inserts will be more likely to be all in one block, and also more likely to be near the top of the tree. Since b-trees have the guarantee that no root-to-leaf

I'd be happier with this if it would, for example, parse the google results and just print them rather than opening a browser window. Also, it seems to be broken with chrome.

Ok, well, I don't play Steam games, so I don't know much about this. I imagine it would annoy me too. > "what your doing in it" sigh

Maybe this is being too adherent to the "unix philosophy", but I like when things I use do one thing well and one thing only. If I want to tell people I'm playing starcraft, I'll do it myself, I don't need it to be automatic. Offering this

Good for them and all, and I know they're still kind of stealth mode, but this article doesn't say much to me. It's not that I doubt they can deliver, I just want to see some numbers. The one graph I could find ( http://www.clustrix.com/wp

Theoretically, clj-processing combined with swank does this, but for me it just crashes X. I imagine this bug is not universal, and probably depends on the version of clojure I'm running.

The canonical way to do this (which I will call the "hitman protocol") is a percentage up front, and the remainder upon completion. Given that the sums here are probably small, this probably doesn't fix the situation.

I heard a little company called RethinkDB is hiring. http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/ They just got new offices in Mountain View. Check the jobs page for compensation and such. You get to write functional data structures with hardcore low-leve

This is probably the only netbook remix feature I want ported to the regular builds. Globalmenu is broken in subtle but dealbreaking ways, and getting a large part of the ubuntu team on it should sort it out so I can finally use it. I hope

I guarantee you've been noticed. Your professors just don't care. They are probably more jaded than you if the classes really are that bad.

I like this. I'm getting tired of sites that tell you what they are, it would be nice to see sites move to /showing/ me what they are instead. This seems like a more difficult task though, so good luck.
