JAX-RS is really nice for building APIs and I actually prefer the way it works to Sinatra, especially if using it with Groovy. But, this isn't Sinatra vs EE6, its Rails vs EE6, so its not a proper comparison. To compare with Rails you've go

Thats caused by the material, not the gun. The kickstarter says they use standard ABS/PLA 3mm plastic for the material. The first rep-rap 3D printer used a tweaked hot glue gun as the extruder.

So its a hot glue gun with a fine tip and auto-feed?

Just a side note - I think you can monazite this if desired. If you created a way for a company to easily define levels that mimic their typical workflow it would be a great on-boarding tool for new employees, a great interview tool and als

I also found this really confusing, just in general the "OSX window" design made me think I could close them, minimize them, move them, etc (which would have been really useful, especially the 'goal' window). The app in general is supremely

Keep in mind that a single modern physical server that is decently configured (12-16 cores, 128GB of ram) is the processing equivalent of about 16 EC2 m1.large instances.

It seems remotely possible. The short range missile in the S-400 can reach mach 12 and at least one source [1] seems to indicate that a meteorite at 15-20km altitude would be traveling 4500-9000mph (roughly mach 6-12) and of course they wou

It would seem at first glance that the extra round trip(s) would be less costly than the potencial bottleneck by a large margin. As mentioned several times in the other thread, increasing average latency to narrow your latency histogram is

You say 300 million like it is actually a big number in this context. Its not, use a percentage. I'd also love to know where 300 million is coming from, as it seems extremely high.

Static methods can be easy to test, if they are zero or near-zero dependency. e.g. Math.log(x) is easy to test. However, a static method that accesses other layers is often very hard to test (at least in isolation). For example if you hav

It only 'makes sense' on a theoretical basis. On a practical basis, unit testing tons of static methods is a nightmare.

This is an extremist view. Humans tend to take extremist views, black or white, see half the posts in this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5157092 or this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5106767 . The real answer is usua

Way off topic: what accounting software is everyone using? I've been hunting for something that is a well designed SaaS product, yet is highly scriptable with a great API to allow me to automate more of our transaction flow. Right now we'v

I've been in more or less the same situation, but for longer periods of time. I'm curious given your experience. My biggest issue is that I don't know what a 'hard problem' is, I know what comes naturally to me, and what takes me some time

Personally - I've used 'large' phones, and I much prefer the size of the iPhone 5. Its big enough but not so big that I can't used it with 1 hand.

There are clearly 2 spiking in trading, 400ms apart, skew between the CGS and EIA systems doesn't explain that.

I don't see what this has to do with Java vs C#, it's a Struts 2 vs ASP MVC (presumably) debate. Struts sucks so there is no surprise in the outcome.

That depends - Is IE10 one of the many components in Windows that obnoxiously requires the entire system to reboot after an update?

To be fair, most people who are using the high end ships aren't getting their funding by grinding anymore. Its much easier to play the market and/or prey on new players moving expensive stuff in areas they think are safe. Incidentally, prob

Eve doesn't have WASD controls, there really isn't constant input. The ship movement command in Eve are limited to: * Set course / speed (double clicking in space, speed set via clicking a speed dial thing). This is not something that gets

While true, I'm suspect given this setup that some layer isn't just dropping to a unix socket when it notices localhost. Most notably, 600k active real TCP connections in the kernel would use somewhere around 6GB of memory assuming an avera

Maybe I'm not understanding what is going on here but it appears the author's client is communicating over a socket on the same machine as the server. The author is seeing insanely high numbers because she/he is bypassing the entire TCP/IP

I am wildly confused. Who is bringing this lawsuit? The person he had the relationship with? If not, who else and why/how would they have any grounds to do so? EDIT: It appears the relationship ended in December ( http://allthingsd.com/2013

This is impossible to read. Please restructure it in some way that involves paragraphs, fewer parenthesis and doesn't reference it's own sentences.

Arguments like this keep getting rehashed purely due to personal bias. There is no universal answer, use the right tool for the job.

/proc/{pid}/wchan contains the function name, not its address. In this example he's just printing the syscall that his example process is running. The calls to strace and gdb are disjoint, he's cut out a lot of stuff here, probably why its

by mbell 14y ago
I believe the author is using that as an example of a command that will 'wedge' if you tried to kill -9 it. The rest of it is an example of how to dump the cause of a process that is wedged. "/proc/{pid}/wchan" contains the name of the curr

Interesting, how much did you try to optimize this code? Some of it is a bit fishy.

They spend half their $ on support and admin people. I can't honestly fathom how a site like arXiv could require 3 full time user support people with part time students helping... They have 1.5 FTE listed as devops for arXiv proper, the ex
