I was in Rome a while back and wanted to go see Michelangelo's David. Searched for "David of Michelangelo" in Google Maps for Android. Clicked details. The main detail photo's aspect ratio is very tall and--because the p

Anyone have any thoughts on whether this could be implemented on the GPU? (e.g. CUDA) Especially encoding.

Yes, absolutely. ZFS snapshots are immutable, such that once a snapshot is created nothing can change it (until to destroy the snapshot). Not designed to help with ransomware, but is a perfect use case they'd protect against. (You also

I agree, I watched the video and read the FAQ and I'm still not 100% sure what you're building. Edit: I hadn't read your original post at http://daltoncaldwell.com/what-twitter-could-have-been . I just read it and now it makes sense. I h

Is my comment above re: needing $5-10k out of pocket pretty accurate? Also, how much time do you find yourself spending on program overhead (preparing receipts, meetups/mentoring/trips/presentations/etc)?

Remember, you'll need $5-10k USD to front for airline tickets, housing, etc before the reimbursement process kicks in. Supposedly it can take 1-2 months after arrival to see your first reimbursement.

I'm really hoping it can drive three external monitors... Looks somewhat promising: * Two Thunderbolt[/DisplayPort?] ports * One HDMI port * A Geforce 650M (capable of driving 4 active displays [1]). [1] http://www.notebo

I gotta say, ZFS+KVM sure seems like an awesome combo. Any ideas how this is different than SmartOS?

by petedoyle 14y ago
Yes, I think so, except its the equivalent of a new Solaris/OpenSolaris distribution (from which Illumos derives).

Don't they have to patent this now that the US patent system is first-to-file? Otherwise, others would be free to patent it and start charging Twitter royalties.

I was surprised that the Storm on Demand SSD instances didn't seem do better (really only ~2x as fast as spinning disks?). Turns out this is some weird bundle of benchmarks. I spun up a storm-ssd-3gb instance and ran bonnie++ on it. Resul

Thanks, I missed that. Still, Santorum's statement did not mention a desire to go after foreign sites (which would require something like SOPA or an international treaty). The Daily Caller just mentioned that his enforcement of existing l

Neither the dailycaller.com article nor the statement on ricksantorum.com mention SOPA or ISP filtering. They also don't mention creating new laws (which a president cannot do as part of the executive branch). Santorum's statement mentions

Great post, I'm working on my build tonight and this'll come in handy. I usually end up just changing the Maps API key locally and never committing it which kinda sucks. For Eclipse you can set the debug key here: Window > Preferences

I agree that productivity trumps cost. Its clear that .NET and the rest of the MS stack (if you choose to use them) absolutely do provide value. But so do Rails / Grails / Java / Django / MySQL / PostgreSQL / Redis / Cassandra / Linux /

"Essentially, the cost differences have become moot" No, not really. I specifically ruled out .NET because BizSpark expires after 3 years or >1 million USD in annual revenue (whichever comes first). I just don't see a ton of advantage

Is there an operator for "must occur"? Embarrassingly, I've always thought + was used for that (and quotes for exact phrases). It seems like recently Google has started to return more results which don't include some of my search terms. I
