I agree, we started looking at OSM's address data sets only to find them pretty sparse. For the areas we investigated I'd estimate around 5% coverage from community efforts. Made me wonder why nobody's done something stupid l

I often skip all that and use native packages with pyinstall, dh_python, and dh_virtualenv (from spotify) For me its much cleaner and controlled than distutils plus the knowledge is largely transferable to other stacks. I wrap our node, jav

As a long time Apache user I've never understood using its proxy modules for stuff like this. I've always felt like its much cleaner to just use a small daemon process built solely for the task of reverse proxy or balancing. e.g.

It seems like all these types of things are written up in secrecy these days. When they can't do that, the other tactic is make it thousands of pages long so nobody finds the nefarious nuggets hidden within. I've completely lost f

I find this interesting considering I wanted to stream amazon instant video on my android devices... but you can't do that unless you buy one of their kindle/fire android devices or something iOS. Not sure if that has since change

Something else that happened in 1996 is the internet was just getting started. With that came the dethroning of traditional information sources who then moved more towards sensationalism rather than news to keep viewers interested and adver

Yeah, it doesn't work for me either.

It's hard to feel bad for people who chose to invest in rigged markets. Their frustration should remain squarly with local representation. Show me the public vote that decided to implement medallions. It's like voting to regulate

Personal nit but can we stop calling Uber a "startup" already? When you're getting valued in billions and running around with hundreds of millions hiring whoever you want to hire. You're probably a corporation, not a sta

I almost don't understand why people are still paying the prices they pay to put ads out on the internet. There are some exceptions but name the last "ad" you clicked on? It probably resembles the last spam you followed.

It felt weird to me too. After being reminded that we are all not the same in somebody else's eyes, I looked down at my arm and thought to myself: "When are my Open Office Hours?" I personally find this type of stuff uncomfor

You know layoffs are coming up when your boss starts announcing things like dress codes in R&D due to "customer complaints". Severance packages are way more expensive than people leaving on their own.

Are people finally starting to ask where the DoE got its earnings numbers to increase student loan tuition caps, the resulting tuition hikes across the board, explosion in the private education market, and the zero risk (except to the tax p

Were plastic bags really the problem in Mumbai? To me, issues like clogging the drainage system felt like the obvious consequence from so many people throwing their garbage out into the street.

Since 18 was released in the past 30 days you'd need to wait a little for debian/ubuntu/etc maintainers to work it out for (eventually) production environments. Here is a quick howto for down and dirty backporting: https:&#x

Did you try this? apt-get install -t wheezy-backports erlang One wheezy, that would have put you at 17.1 in less than a minute.

I'm not surprised in the slightest given the current trend to build everything in production.

This smells more like an old managerial trick. Make the place uncomfortable enough that anybody who will leave, leaves on their own. If people take the bait it makes the press release less sensational when the layoff numbers are announced.

The unfortunate thing about gmail is its gotten worse than AOL was to deal with on the spam front. I feel like there are historical lessons worth learning regarding where all those @aol.com users went. 1. Everything became "spam"

We generally run them through central syslog servers or directly to a logstash tcp or udp input. One way or another all logs from around the world end up in an elasticsearch cluster where we either query for things manually or use kibana to

What they mean is when the slides were made, Debian 8 was about to be released in "stable" with systemd. With debian 8 released the only oddball is ubuntu with their own early fork of systemd called upstart. It means from this day

Agreed, but that implies that people haven't given up on trying to get facts or information into pages that are managed nefariously. To me it feels like the talk sections have been dying off. So many things at wikipedia have become adv

It is fascinating. Something I wonder is why nobody thinks that "sky disk" is a bronze age buckler.

You can add various things on top of nginx... but you can use stock haproxy to limit the number of connections by source IP.

Weird, out of all their problems I would think charging a cell phone would be the easiest. Laptop, car, food, place to sleep, etc.. thats all seems like the hard stuff for me. I just have a super cheap solar panel that charges my phone.

It doesn't have to be open source but making "the garden" readily available (dirt cheap or free) is Microsoft's only hope to avoid fading into oblivion on windows products. OSX still requires expensive apple hardware...

Where were all the elderly, disabled, overweight, and children? I wonder if the a380 is going to survive operation after the first crash happens.

I think a clue might be where he stated that the CNN checks stopped rolling in. I could only assume to get them back he needs to have more news and a captive audience.

Maybe Geoff Loftus can provide a reference so the world can stop looking. Just because its in an article from a contributor to Forbes doesn't make it factual. It just means he thought Churchill said it when he wrote his article. Musk d

Musk attributes it to Churchill though I don't think anybody has found any evidence that the prime minister ever said it. The earliest evidence anybody can find of the phrase came from the 90s.
