I've seen some of those applications. It might be easier & faster to start with a schema-less json database, but I saw some serious maintenance issues with applications like that: * Using the stored data outside the use cases imagi

Cassandra is AP (available and partition tolerant), with tunable consistency. HBase is CP (consistent and partition tolerant, but not always available in case of network partitions). Spanner is consistent, available and partition tolerant d

I would say the the rise of nosql options is driven by the need for scalability by a few large companies that desperately need it, and cargo-culting by developers that don't actually need it, but want to be like google and don't w

I agree it won't replace a mouse anytime soon, It might be a good solution for handicapped people though.

I basically used a memory-weighted variant of the ARC algorithm, sufficiently different so that the patent doesn't cover it. I imagine there are quite a couple of variants of ARC you can use without violating the patent.

I used to work at a large software company. They had one giant monolith application, about a hundred different modules that did things from financial registration, displaying media. 30 years old, ported from clipper to delphi to .net. Lots

So, the unpack/pack solution seems a bit weird to me. Why do you need to convert a string to a list just to iterate? I'm assuming "List" is a linked list. Why not have an Iterable/Enumerable typeclass/trait&#x2

Not to mention google. My nexus 6p charger broke, I wanted to buy a new one. Turns out google doesn't sell usb-c chargers in my country anymore (they used to). Anker was pretty much the only decent other option for a usb-c fast charger

And a free-market healthcare system means letting poor people die, which in my opinion is even worse. There are no good solutions here.

This is still splitting the ecosystem. This is the exact same mistake they made with the json project format. Also, if you started using asp.net core 1.0, and you do actually do need stuff that's .net 4+ only, you're stuck. There

It keeps a history of evicted keys. If there's a miss, it knows if the miss was in the lfu or lru part, and it tunes the ratio of space allocated to the lru and lfu part of the cache.

std::list is a linked list, so it makes sense that size() is linear. Only if you store the size separately, you get constant behavior (which the c++11 enforces), it's constant. Your friend probably could've sped his code up even m

At the scale an actual brain works, an actual exponential slowdown because of "quantum brains" would make the problem flat-out impossible. An actual human brain has an average of 100 billion neurons. To simulate an actual brain, y

Yes, because a private entity completely owning natural resources like lakes and forests, will completely prevent those resources from being ruthlessly exploited. Those private entities would rationally take a long term vision, and certainl

Just a small remark. You might want to note in your readme why you'd want to use a fault-injection library. I wasn't familiar with the concept, and had to google why you'd want to do that (for testing unexpected errors and th

Rust does optimize iterators, just not random access. You can even turn off the bound checks with get_unchecked, if you really really need unchecked random access.

Bloat like pocket/hello is a trap. The original mozilla suite had e-mail, a newsgroup reader, irc chat and html development tools all embedded. Sounds useful, but who used it? Only power users and enthousiasts. I imagine a share of use

This article feels a bit condescending. Like most things, it's a trade-off. While sophisticated types do have a lot of advantages over dynamically typed languages (I spend most of my time using languages like that), that doesn't m

He says readers are indifferent to those things, not that he doesn't value them. So you could draw that conclusion, but he doesn't state that explicitly.

Rust is trying to do something far more complicated. Memory-safety enforced by the compiler is a big deal, but it remains to be seen if it's practical. I am really looking forward if rust can make it work, zero-cost memory-safety would

No, you are absolutely right. History rewriting is fine if you do it on a private branch, but on shared branches it can be problematic. If there are updated refs on a shared branch, you need to use the --force flag when pushing, overwriting

I wonder if it's possible to assign a weight to each of the possible scores to correct for the "perceived" distance so you can still use all these existing tools in a statistical valid way. Also, this observation could be interpreted a bit

Zero acceleration only happens after an object has been falling for a long time (more then a few seconds) and the friction is in balance with gravity. Zero acceleration also happens when the laptop is just sitting on a table. Probably would

Exercise. It gives you energy and takes your mind of things for a while. We're not meant to sit on our buts in front of a screen all day. I know it's hard when you're tired and overworked, but it's indispensible. Also, sleep and eat well.

People actually "cheat" using lag compensation. There are players that induce lag on their system so they can shoot at players on a "snapshot" of the game. Very hard to detect. Usually when you see people with 500ms ping at the top of the s

I wonder if there are a lot of edge cases (large numbers that aren't easily decomposed into shifts/additions) where the performance decreases a lot. If these optimizations are cheap, why aren't they used everywhere?

Note that I said district/state. Your senate has 2 seats for each state and the house has a seat for each district. This still means that there is no realistic way for a third party to get any sort of real power. Because the votes are arbit
