You could configure the PAGER environment variable and "\pset pager always" so that all your query results are passed through an external script. The external script would have to decide whether to just spit it out on stdout to display as u

I like the general idea, if you want some "insurance", you could also set the database user that the application uses to SELECT only permission. Have you ruled out using a router? (like https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/multi

A reason to hold gold instead of oil, bullets, bacon, or liquor is that gold is used to make jewelry. Since jewelry is purely a luxury, there isn't really some line that people cross where they have "enough jewelry", theoretically the appet

Here is another example of patent sclerosis: patents used to hinder development of steam engines in the late 1700's: http://mises.org/daily/3280/ . Patents have been a hindrance to technology for over 200 years.

I did a phone interview once for Facebook and my interviewer used binary search of an array of integers. I think it is a good thing to use for a first filter because even if you don't know it from memory it is pretty obvious from first prin

I like the django documentation but sometimes I find it hard to figure out how to do exactly what I want to do ... the source code however is pretty readable, effectively it is cross referenced since you can look at the imports, and on gith

Yeah, I haven't made any provision for the other calculations required by the attack, so maybe those take a lot of resources, maybe they don't.

AFAIK GPUs are far more cost effective. I've just produced this estimate. 2xAMD 7970 : 8000Mhash/s ~= 2^33 Seconds per year ~= 2^24 Total Hashes ~= 2^57 1kW * $0.15/kWh * 1 year ~= $1315 Rig cost (guess) ~= $2000 Total cost

Reminds me of a piece that I read on Marc Andreessen's blog back in 2007. Now I see that it was written by Ben Horowitz. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it how long it took me to find this, like 10 minutes. Anyway, quoting: "Once WorldCom s

I'm cynical about this kind of pricing. Once you've paid up, in the companies' books you're in the minus column until the end of time. Incentives are no longer aligned. Combine this with the way that telcos treat regular paying customers ..
