The reason the build times on level 3 were so bad was due to time spent downloading libraries. Stripe seems to have set things up to use a different ivy cache for each user, so every time you deployed code it had to redownload all of the de

To be clear, I find the emails very useful (this is primarily from the perspective of me using Github for work--it's nice to know when somebody has reviewed your code). But I want one, not 15, and after the code reviewer has finished.

This looks nice, but doesn't address my main complaint with the conversation/PR system: there's no way to batch comments. When doing code reviews, you can sometimes have upwards of 10 or 15 comments. In the current system thi

They do combine those behaviors. The proxying is on for everybody, regardless of whether you disable showing images automatically.

by necubi 13y ago
"Disabling the new functionality" refers to maintaing the old behavior of hiding images by default. This means that you're leaking nothing unless you explicitly decide to. This does not appear to disable the proxying, though,

There seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around. Here's [0] Google's support doc that clears up some of it. The most important part is at the end: "In some cases, senders may be able to know whether an individual has

Energy is so volatile that it makes little sense to count it in measures of inflation. When oil prices double in a year, is that really because USD became less valuable? There are certainly a number of methodologies for calculating inflatio

Please read my second paragraph. The bitcoin v. gold comparison is not really valid.

Gold has intrinsic value for applications like jewelry and electronics (it being easily malleable and a very good conductor). There are many more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Applications . These uses don&#x2

This is great. Online shopping is so much less convenient because I can't have packages delivered to my apartment. Instead I must ship packages to my office, and either muscle them on MUNI or get a cab (which costs more than $7).

It increases 50% in a week, and you don't consider that volatile?

Basically, Hive is incredibly inefficient. Hive works by taking apart the HiveQL query and turning it into a series of Hadoop MR steps. A complex hive query may have many such steps, and for each one data must be read from HDFS, processed,

The state of the art at Google appears to be F1 [0], although that takes a pretty different approach than Presto/Dremel and may be complementary. This area (interactive SQL on big data) has become very active lately. In addition to tho

I can personally vouch for the value of Scala macros, which I feel really transform the language. With macros (at least with macro-paradise) I can metaprogram Scala more powerfully than Ruby, while retaining typesafety . Scala + macros is

The demo is basically unplayable in its current state. The controls are unusable, and there's no real AI (your opponent mostly just stands there) nor multiplayer. I think backers are especially annoyed because the kickstarter originall

Its most significant fault and also its greatest virtue: there's no way to integrate Java's type system into a proper HM type system. As Scala's (mostly) seamless, bidirectional Java integration is its prime selling point (

If I may make a suggestion: there's a hugely underserved population of short (< 5'6") men who cannot buy good quality, well-fitting clothing in the US. I would love to see a small shirt manufacturer tackle this demographic

There's a small misconception in the article: the overhead of zookeeper is not the reason why you tend to have small zookeeper clusters (3, 5, or 7 are recommended). The issue is that zookeeper requires consensus, so a write generally

I'm not familiar with those tools, but from the clusterlabs website it looks like they're solving a different problem. Mesos is primary intended for use on clusters with thousands of machines and heterogenous application needs. It

If you think these tools aren't necessary, you probably haven't managed a cluster with thousands of machines and hundreds of users. I imagine that every company in that situation has an ad-hoc implementation of distributed cron an

Really, it's mesos that "makes your datacenter run like Google's," while Marathon is a framework built on top of it that provides distributed service management (think distributed upstart). Mesos is in part based on idea
