If you have "truckloads" of fields, with images in the db or something enormous like that, perhaps you should refactor your schema into tables of each enormous field (or even just shove it in the file system), and store the relations in a r

The left side has measurements, I'd guess, of 0.5s.

If you start to read Latin and Ancient Greek, you'll get a sense that human beings have had most of the same mundane concerns for the past thousands of years. Some of the love poetry of Catullus, for example, sounds like it could have been

Haskell's type system is both expressive and flexible enough to allow most of the benefits of polymorphism, via type classes, while being rigid enough to both catch coarse-grained logic errors and enable efficient compilation. And the synt

There was some Mixergy interview where the guy at IMVU or somewhere was saying that it was trendy to measure progress the Agile way, by lines of code written, whereas it was more accurate a metric to measure progress by learning.

Here's something interesting about the pricing structure: if you get a spot instance, and bid like $5/hr max for it, you won't get overbid for it, and your hourly cost is going to be far less than outright buying the reserve instance itself

Similarly, on Macbooks the Disc Eject button is really close to the Delete key. If you just tap the eject button, like you'd tap Delete, nothing happens. You really have to hold it down for 0.5s or so for the Eject to register.

The Ancient Greek word it comes from is (w)oida, "I know". Structurally, it's the perfect tense of (w)eido, "I see": knowing something is equivalent to having seen it, for Ancient Greeks. I loved reading that in the dictionary. Their word

The phrase "personal computer" was chosen to sound kind of edgy and futuristic at the time (remember, computers were big basement-sized things then). That's sort of how "personal robot" sounds now.

Internet and network connectivity is achieved through the device's docking station (Ethernet 10/100 and 802.11b/g). No free-range internet? That's disappointing.

See, that's a shame it's only 32GB of memory. I can go on dell.com and buy a machine with 128GB of RAM for about $10k, far less than I'd expect they're selling their boxes for.

Clustrix plans to sell its appliance (which consists of more than a terabyte of memory and its proprietary software) If you give people a few TB of memory, of course database reads are going to be fast.
