+1 The UK is one of the few shining beacons in Europe at the moment. Why do the left think we've so many "asylum" migrants illegally trying to cross using heavy goods vehicles and the Channel Tunnel? Many "asylum" s

This leftist idea that the UK operating an environment of "austerity" is laughable.

Simple enough to ensure each transfer uses both a unique transfer id and then a simple packet sequence number counter. This would ensure every request is unique.

But unfortunately it is the one a lot of C#'ers reach for because it is the smallest amount of code in that language and often results in the least refactoring effort. A properly designed model in C# like suggested is a large number of

API doesn't look very REST to me. It is basically just using HTTP as a JSON transport. The JSON contains a "status" code which appears to loosely follow the HTTP status code numbering. But if that was the intent then why not

That's not its OOP syntax. That's its functional syntax.

"F# syntax is too verbose for OOP." Wow. First time I've ever heard that.

Have you ever used ReSharper? It is far more than just a refactoring tool. It is basically a set of extensions for Visual Studio that somewhat entirely transforms the VS experience. It could be described as pseudo-productivity tool for Visu

It's really odd how the C# community took ReSharper to heart so easily and somewhat irreversibly. The amount of C# developers out there now that will literally turn down a job offer if ReSharper is not used at that shop. It is also the

Nobody said micro services are meant "distributed" in the first place.

Indeed, I'm good at that ;) It could probably be improved (subject to the nuances of S3 which I'm not fully familiar with). One way to fix it would be to copy the concept of SQLite's WAL mode. Use an appended write operation

You need to learn more languages. "Checked exception" is highly Java-specific and it is biasing your understanding. A checked exception is okay but it is still an exception with all the stack frame capturing overhead that brings.

by nbevans 11y ago
I see. Out of interest how does it write back the new version of the SQLite database file with only the differences? Does S3 support binary patching?
375.
by nbevans 11y ago
SQLite supports multiple readers when Write Ahead Logging (WAL) is enabled. This mode is so good and transforms the whole operation of SQLite that it is shame that 1) it isn't the default, 2) more people don't know about it.

They aren't. He just wants to be able to leak stuff like "IOException: disk space full whilst writing to 'C:\some\path\that\probably\ought\to\not\be\revealed\outside\this\gRPC\server'." to his client app when all th

Seems sensible enough to leave out exceptions. Otherwise it just encourages bad programmers to write bad programs. And the rest of us would be left having to continue wrapping up all those sodding exceptions which should have been contingen

The real question is why Netflix needs anti-virus at all. Whether it be the old signature style or the new (as of about 2002) heuristic analysis style. Presumably they're turning off UAC, giving out admin privs to everyone, disabling a

But that is still far away from the '84 doctrine of "watching everyone all the time".

A lot of CCTV cameras in the UK are privately owned, not state owned. I would guess the majority are actually.

But the quality of the content is completely optimal. You are clutching at straws. Just admit it; you didn't realise the phrase was incredibly common. Just like "Soviet rocket" or "Soviet <technology>" is. The

Well personally I believe "Nazi <specific technology type or name>" is an incredibly common phrasing structure and it seems odd to call out this HN topic or the BBC article for using it. Just search Google for "nazi roc

If it wasn't for xDSL broadband the UK would have been utterly screwed in the early 2000s. So yeah, thanks Sweden!

The BBC has done several TV documentaries over the years about this. Interesting stuff. Equally interesting was the race to break the sound barrier where a bizarre scenario unfolded of the British inventing it but the Americans flying it fi

Bear in mind this project was started around the same time there was a ton of uncertainty around the future of Silverlight and WPF. Alas, one did die, one lives on for now. But nobody knew that at the time, including Intel, or apparently Mi
