Why not a library that speaks a simple [1] line based protocol over pipes and/or sockets? Or even just plain old files? That's how unix used to work before the desktop people took over. [1] Yes, DBus is "sort of" line b

you will want some extra layers of abstraction that aren't available if you limit yourself to FDs and Unix-style permissions. I have yet to see a single case where FDs and unix-permissions wouldn't have been perfectly sufficient

Is there anything in the fineprint to stop the startups from reselling those credits? Passing them on at a 20% discount would make for a sweet ~$400k runway extension.

NO! Because they're behind a firewall Huh? SSH, Postfix and nginx are usually not firewalled. Because "web based" is the client. It has to be flexible and with flexibility... If "flexibility and complexity equal vul

Name one web based software suite that's installed more often. What does "web based" have to do with anything? Do you think SSH, Postfix, nginx, Apache & Co don't get the same amount of scrutiny? Each of them has

This has nothing to do with eyes. Dozens of other packages have a much larger install base than Wordpress. Wordpress has 32(!) CVE's tagged with "Exec Code" (remote code execution) alone. The last one a mere 6 months old. If

What an absurd comparison... The linux kernel has 16 million lines of code, Wordpress has 300k. Yet Wordpress[1] has had nearly as many security vulnerabilities as the kernel[2]; 194 vs 257 exploits. Wordpress is one of the most exploited s

it all mostly just works Yes, that sums up MySQL pretty well. And then one day, one of your masters segfaults for no discernible reason. And when you restart it, the replication process (or even the InnoDB recovery) fails to resume with a

Do you also prefer footnotes and sidebars inline when reading articles? No. I prefer them at the bottom (that's why they're called foot note) and with a tooltip for convenience. I don't see how that relates to the idiotic

I hate this left/right code documentation fad with passion. Making my eyes jump horizontally across the page every few lines is about the worst you can possibly do for readability. Just keep the damn comments inline and use colors&#x2F

Welcome to Debian politics. Where boneheads like Joey get to block trivial fixes for decades (5 years and counting in this case). The project really needs a better process to terminate 'lame' maintainers.

We usually don't have the patience nor spare disk space to spend days or weeks on creating a multi-terabyte tar-archive first. I'm also rather skeptical that the common BT clients are made to handle files in the multi-terabyte ran

Am I missing something or has Heroku pricing gone from insane to complete batshit since I last looked? For 6 "performance dynos" (a whopping 30G RAM!) they ask a price of $2842/mo. Does that include a personal assistant and f

there's a syntax called 'alias' that works similarly to my example That's an unfortunate wart on the language (an inconsistency) and not related to your example at all. I'm essentially asking for macros commonly

It would be nice to refer to the variable name literally No, it would not be nice. It would be in violation with basic ruby syntax. If that is the best example you could come up with then I'm glad ruby does not allow whatever it is t

Having transferred petabytes of data in tens of millions of files over the past months let me assure you there's only one tool that you really need: GNU parallel. Whether you copy the individual files with ftp, scp or rsync is largely

which you'll have to reflect on and test against extensively if you don't want your application falling flat on its face Even with full blown JSON schema validation we'd arrive at 2 lines of ruby code plus ~5 for the schema

This is something I really don't like about Go. 80 lines of code to parse some JSON? Meanwhile, in ruby... foo = JSON.parse(STDIN.read)

No need to contrive lame excuses. It's just bad software design, plain and simple.

I feel that what Google has built (self-driving cars) is harder to replicate, but Google doesn't have the killer instinct that Uber does. You need more than "killer instinct" to match a decade of research in autonomous vehi

You don't fix MongoDB and all its data destroying habits (as documented by aphyr and a dozen blog posts) by replacing the index. It's rotten from the core, poorly designed on every layer, and has caused many companies great grief.

by moe 12y ago
Please just make sure that data safety in RethinkDB always takes precedence over performance. The last thing we need is another MongoDB that can not be trusted with anything valuable.

Yes, well, I used "payment processing" as an umbrella term here. Because what you mention is in fact one of the things that people often only realise after they're already halfway into implementing a pretty Stripe binding; &q
