Murderapolis was 20 years ago. Back then, even southwest was dicey. Much better these days (with the notable exception of north side).

The big problem with startup talent in MSP, is that the talented ones aren't going to work at a fleabag startup for a handful of magic beans, giving up their multi-year, highly lucrative consulting gig at $bigcorp. There's actuall

Nitpick: they wanted your money. It's not "theirs" by any stretch.

I must observe, this is a terrible attempt. No points, and may God bless your soul.

Did this with dummynet on FreeBSD around 1999. Made it a bridge though, so everyone on the test network could "enjoy" 28.8kbaud dialup experience! Great fun. Called it "the molasses network", which is what they should c

Judging by the following statements: "we don't worry much about code quality", and "lots of moving parts isn't without its complexity", I'm just going to very politely wish him luck in his endeavors, and

This brings to mind the 19y/o with the 1000yd stare I met not long ago. Shell shock isn't just something that happened a long time ago to your uncle who was in 'Nam. It lives with us here and now every day, and it's sad

A tiny isp (USI) in Minneapolis has been laying buried fttp for years. They just announced 100gbps (synchronous) service too. Google, feh! Sure, it only serves a few neighborhoods, but it's progress, and more importantly, not Comcast.

It is, can't recommend it enough. You swoop in like batman & pull their bacon from the fire. Makes for good feelings all around.

I think I ran your exact application (large retailer catalog). We just used solr as a sort of external index. Worked like a charm, though obviously introduced additional complexity.

The lander is in the comet's frame of reference. To it, the comet is stationary, and the universe is whipping around them. The same way you perceive yourself to be stationary on the earth, despite earth orbiting the sun at 67 thousand

I uber to work daily (cheaper than parking!). Uber is lovely. Been toying with sending the kids off to school in one, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm sure uber is aware of the huge pent up demand, and will roll out a famil

Cowboy is quite a well respected we server of the Erlang flavor. I'd guess heroku rejiggered something in their stack, perhaps adding cowboy as a reverse proxy or load balancer in front of their junk. Cowboy apparently shot yor no-goo

At least in Java, log levels don't buy you much when you wind up possibly rendering object graphs to strings (via your ohsohelpful custom, recursive tostring implementation), then duping it to concat "made it here" to it, the

Reminds me of the time I sped up the main business app of a large company by 85% by removing "debug" logging. 2tb/hr of "made it here" isn't really useful at the end of the day. Not the first time I've se

Funny, I have 50,000 individual Java apps to analyze. I started with a copy/paste detector. Pmd has a free one. Good luck!

I still have one. The shrimp were alive for about 2 years. Now there are other organisms... I think these are more about the incredible toughness of the shrimp involved. Their native habitat consists of rainwater puddles held in volcanic ro

Many "emerging adults", in my limited experience, eventually transition into the "desperately poor" category when they run out of other peoples' money. I'm going to go shake my cane and yell at clouds now.

Highly unlikely. iSEC is widely regarded as one of the best in the business. Having worked with those folks, I can see why. At some point, you have to trust someone, even if they are out to get you.

This is pretty much exactly how AWS SWF handles it. The java implementation of the workflow "decider" (supervising actor) is somewhat interesting as well. It actually creates a bunch of future/promise objects and replays the
