Using async write I/O wouldn't allow them to test the capabilities of the underlying hardware as writes would return immediately. Also, sixty threads on such a powerful machine is not really a big deal. Even though 0.06ms service time seems

No idea what parent poster said (comment deleted), but if you want to work in the US, you can still try for an H1B visa. Your work experience and achievements can be used to demonstrate specialization in the field and serve as the equivalen

Yes, still the #1 choice in my books, especially if your APIs do not match your models 1:1. Tastypie is cute but gets in your way a little too often for my liking. Django-rest is another contender but I haven't tried that yet

What has worked best for us is to narrow the category as much as possible before attempting to do unsupervised clustering. We focus solely on sports and our classifiers(supervised) reduce the scope first to the sport and then to the specifi

Curious: Were real-time updates something that your customers had high demand for? I'm asking because we thought about doing real-time updates for our product but decided against it because it made topic modelling (clustering based on topic

How about a service that you could enter all these things in the morning and it would send them throughout the day? Like a Buffer for "unit of thinking of you". I'm only half joking

Along the same lines, my favorite question is "What is your favorite data structure?". Most of the time, the answer is HashTable followed by a complete lack of understanding as to how a hash table works. Occasionally someone would respond w

That is amazing work, I really like the clean lines between the tiles and the centered 'Get Started' button. The top bar is great too and the green/purple colors really help the words jump out of the page. The "movement" effect on the tiles

How are you dealing with bit rot? Are you periodically scrubbing the data to give the controller a chance to repair or are you waiting to get a URE during an array rebuild? Are you running end to end checksums against all your data to prote

I very much like Unity. The eye-candy makes me happy and from a productivity perspective it allows me to keep my hands on the keyboard and off the mouse. It does indeed use way more resources than it should, but what else am I going to do w

A lot of immigration proceedings depends solely on the mood of the officer. Consider yourself lucky, I can assure you that telecommuting is a violation of the VWP terms (you are producing work while staying in the US)
