this registration requirement is absurd on many levels, but the pinnacle is that it holds even if you fly only above your own property

if you're going to limit yourself to a subset of a language, then any "language" can offer that guarantee. but it's really not that language any longer

if a js codebase is structured appropriately, webstorm does an excellent job of intellisense and refactoring. netbeans 7.2 does an adequate job, but oracle ruined the js support when they bought sun (didn't like the rhino license - the

not really true - if you walk 10-12 hours a day, i'm pretty sure you could eat anything you were capable of and not gain weight (assuming that you start in reasonably good shape - if you're already overweight then just walking wou

part of why they're not profitable is because of the saudis dumping oil, which may well be part of their motivation

this approach is similar to the one that GObject uses, though stripped down a bit for embedded. i haven't used it in years, but it worked great with GTK+. the only downside i remember is the overhead of the virtual function calls (in c

git bisect automates the process, but the underlying technique should work with any VCS. and i've scripted it up in SVN several times to good effect

i had a similar experience with ita software, later acquired by google. i'd submitted a solution to one of their puzzles (which was actually very close to their business) which exploited a symmetry in the data and my solution produced

this would be a huge win for database design - FTL is incredibly wasteful in terms of unnecessary block erases for cache

python's a great operating system, all it lacks is a decent programming language

it's less that i'd do things not currently done in the FTL, and more that it would be deterministic. my algorithm is a cyclic cache that's write heavy, at least initially targeted at low end hardware. if i could bypass the FT

this is true because the NAND has been crippled by imposing the FTL on it. if you could bypass the FTL, then the programming advice would be quite different, and if properly applied result in much better long term performance

one of the fundamental problem with SSDs is the impedance mismatch introduced by emulating HDDs. NVMe doesn't appear to help with that at all we need an interface that allows us to bypass the FTL and access the underlying erase blocks
204.
by nqzero 12y ago
SATA isn't obsolete - it's fine for mechanical disks. but the abstraction that's used for SSDs doesn't represent the true capabilities of the NAND and prevents a database (eg) from utilizing the true power of the flash

the real crime here is that the gui elements don't have the same style as the cli elements - they stand out like a sore thumb but it would be sweet (more for my folks than for me, but still) if you could click on a filename in a termin
