Max out the I/O capacity on your existing server: At the very least, make sure each system bus (i.e. PCIe/PCI-X for commodity x86) slot is populated with a host adapter (ideally a hardware RAID controller) which can saturate that slot. For

Taken to its logical extreme, the cache becomes "your database," in which case you didn't need, for example, an RDBMS in the first place.

>Well, there are still reasons to avoid a place like that, and it may be a challenge, but I wouldn't necessarily run. It may not be a reason to avoid any place like that, but any startup like that I would flee from.

Advertising is inherently persuasive, but persuasion need not be deceptive. The Will Rogers quote may be spot on, but even it doesn't evince deception in advertising but, again, merely persuasion. We don't, after all, only buy things we str

Dziuba is my favorite. I wish uncov were back up. Still, it seems like a simple case of electronic fraud, if they're rewriting packets. If they're only doing this for customers querying their own DNS servers, let users vote with their walle

Better yet, make it revenue-neutral, perhaps by paying money to those found not guilty. After all, even if revenue gets split up, there's still a moral hazard.

I wouldn't say that's the obvious conclusion, if only because it assumes that income is highly enough correlated with work effort. It doesn't strike me that such a correlation, which I do believe exists, is obviously within 20%, for example

As much as I consider BMI to be generally useless, since weight is a numerator, that's a huge range. For a 5' tall person, that's 102-128 pounds. For someone 6'4" tall, that's 164-205 pounds. A target window of 26-41 pounds doesn't seem ter

BMI suffers from the GIGO problem, since its inputs are height and weight. It is no more valid than the "height/weight" tables that were the fad previously.

The article appears to measure "overhead" in bytes, whereas I would measure it in dollars. If I understand the technology correctly, twice as many slices requires twice as many storage hosts. In dollars, that's decidedly more expensive than

It seems less like a luxury and more like a burden, but, then, I love the suburbs.

There's a very good reason for that.. it would cost too much to have a car available everywhere it would need to be.

Since, in effect, he's the one paying to receive the message and, potentially, paying for reading it with his time, I agree with him that his convenience is more important than that of the sender.

To me, it suggests that they don't think the recipient's time is worth paying for, which isn't the same.

Even though I'm someone who "has money," I find this point very relevant. I've wrestled a bit with the OP's question in more than one context for years, though primarily in the case of calculating how much a particular position's total comp

I would suggest that writing:coding::reading:computer-use. Arguably, we already have an appropriate term in "computer literacy." That is, I agree (assuming "coding" is equivalent to "customization" or, perhaps, even "confinguration") that w
