Good point. Mechanical disks usually start exhibiting warning signs when failing (the disk in my T61 started clicking about a month ago is being replaced tomorrow). I'm not sure I'll get away with that in the Samsung 840 that is going in i

Some great ideas there. Agree about complexity - its usually a sign of something dodgy being hidden. Perhaps a flash raid 1 device would suffice?

Yes well aware of that :)

I found a better solution was to just work from home and go for a run around the local park.

I had a light weight Dawes galaxy touring bike (more comfortable than road bikes) and tried cycling for about 2 years. Problem is I live in London where there are actually no pleasant cycling experiences to be had. I gave up after the third

Or just get a Casio f91w for $10. More accurate, has led to light it in the dark, waterproof, has a stopwatch, alarm and won't get nicked by anyone and doesn't carry a repair cost ever. I sold my Omega watch and got one and have had it for

The truth is that you don't and this is fairly apparent when you find a buggy device and the vendor either shrugs it or threatens to sue you. (yes that does happen) You can build out of discrete logic. The opportunity for something dodgy to

This is pretty normal in the electronics industry. From major suppliers, in the 90s we had 74hc logic which was just relabelled 74ls and some east German clone z80s delivered as genuine zilog parts. You don't usually notice until something

One of them wil be replacing my T61 then. Thanks for the report :)

Why the hell would you invest in something so risky then? I refuse to pay for anything which can be taken away at the whim, process or incompetence of another.

So basically the same as in 1985?

Google really need to sort their support out. When evaluating Google Apps for our organisation, we couldn't even get through to a human. This pretty much killed the evaluation up front. Chargeback!

I think we'll still be being beaten up in French McDonald's in 20-30 years for wearing AR equipment. Humanity can lose a lot more than it can gain if the singularity did occur. Yes I've read kurzweils book: thoroughly regrettable waste of t

We're talking web apps here and our security had to be at application level because of complexity. Name one DBMS which handles multitenant security with acls and can handle 22,000 requests a second.

Each to their own. Our architecture handles 22,000 reqs/sec, is scalable across our 80 man dev team and pulls in approx $30mil on revenue. Does yours?

Yes were replacing stored procedures. First (as the app is partioned into logical components), we pick a chunk and move it to schema generation with hibernate. Then we port the stored procedures to code with tests, then we delete all the st

Agree, but It's good until 2020 I.e end of support. The world may be a different place then so we'll deal with it later. I really don't see an uptake of windows 8 yet on our financial app so I think everyone else is on the same path.

by meaty 14y ago
We already do that on windows 8. We put windows 7 on the machine again. Every vendor who ship kit to us are still shipping windows 7.

Depends who your wife is. All we need is each other (I've been married for 12 years have 3 children and have lived like this since day one).

this reminds me a bit of powershell's XML/object filtering except less painful.

Just don't buy one then even if you want one. Oh wait, that's exactly what people are doing already :)

This. I live like a student still. Class wars is a zero winners game. Expensive toys and things buy me nothing. My entire worth is about 600GBP. I shop at the cheapest places and grow some of my own food. I have no intention of using the ex

Well you've conclusively proven my point because its obvious you don't know how to use hibernate properly. You never lazy load stuff from a view. That is a recipe for disaster. You use a projection or set of projections and populate your

Followed by the return of the mouse and back to ground zero where to be honest we were all quite happy to start with before everyone decided to rip off star trek the next generation.

What if the application doesn't require consistency or enforces it itself? Don't write consistency off straight away as a requirement. Look at how banks work for an example. As for security, that belongs in your application layer/domain mod

By my definition, I'd avoid it. The pitfalls, additional abstraction and debugging complexity just aren't worth it.

You can talk to protobufs without code generation. I'd implement something zeromq style instead however with a higher level payload abstraction I.e. BSON. Lex, yacc and antlr are pretty primitive tools to be honest. Ive written NFA->DFA

I am excluding the compiler. Yes it should be limited.

When you get over the learning curve, which is quite large, the mess doesn't exist. I've never seen an issue with hibernate which isn't caused by poor understanding. You really do have to know your shit before you start - you can't just wal

If you're using code generation, your tooling or architecture needs rethinking. There is 100% no reason to do it.
