U4: U3 + "discouraged workers", or those who have stopped looking for work because current economic conditions make them believe that no work is available for them.

I knocked up a quick Ansible script this morning. It is _very_ rough right now and is more like 'here's what you could do' (and you have to compile perf-map-agent beforehand), but I got it working on a small cluster: https:&

Hi graycat - could I get a copy of that paper as well, please? Thanks!

Ah, thanks! I have unfortunately been too busy to watch the streams this week, and assumed it was Connect because I think Confluent is/was doing a talk with Kafka Connect and Spark at the summit.

I think it's support for Kafka Connect, new in Kafka 0.9: http://kafka.apache.org/090/documentation.html#connect

Surely something like this: https://blog.linode.com/2016/01/05/security-notification-and... doesn't inspire confidence?

Backpressure is in 1.5+ by setting spark.streaming.backpressure.enabled=true ( https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/streaming-programming-g... ). Like you, I'm looking forward to the out-of-order data support.

That's not exactly what happened - the BBC Micro project called for bids from UK companies and Acorn's bid won. It wasn't something that was done in-house. (and the Beeb was released before the Speccy anyhow)

Hurrah - good to see that the Elasticsearch dependency is no longer locked to a rather old version (that bit me a few times when setting up a cluster last year). I'm still a bit wary about having to spin up MongoDB for it as well, thou

Oh my goodness…glad to hear you're okay.

I'd be interested to hear about that too - often Nagios can spend much of its time being reconfigured than actually monitoring…

Let's also remember that for a long time, several political parties were also not allowed to have their voices broadcast, either.

It was part of an organised plan to try and sabotage Obamacare, having lost the legislative battle and the Presidential election.

And remember when they were so angry at that they voted in the candidate that vowed to repeal Obamacare in the next election. Wait.

Many of the states refused to create their own exchanges, thus the Federal site needed to be more extensive than originally planned (not that's an excuse for the screw-ups at all). States that have their own exchanges seem to be doing

Heston has been doing nitro ice-cream for at least a decade at this point - it's a fairly common technique in higher-end restaurants.

Here's a documentary that was broadcast on BBC4 a couple of months ago about Bond and his quixotic journey to get HOTOL/Skylon into the sky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ_a21fPkYM It includes a test-firing of the new heat-exchanger at

The nice thing was that after you passed the initial interview, the company would let you start whenever (within reason, obviously). You'd send them an email that you were ready, they'd send details, and the clock would start ticking from t

There's definitely some merit in this approach over something like Fizzbuzz and whiteboard problems. At my previous place of employment [1] , after the initial interview, you were given 48 hours to produce a simple web addressbook app. You

I still don't understand this, though. Under the US-UK extradition treaty (signed into law in the UK in 2003, in the US in 2006, I think), all the US has to do is provide the UK with reasonable suspicion that Assange committed a crime withi

On the other hand, the BBC Micro would almost certainly not have been the success it was without the Beeb and the lift it gave to Acorn in the educational market.

Fair enough, though I'd suggest that iBooks' position as the Apple book reader will mean that most people who download apps will have it (though I know there's a sizable amount of users who never download anything).
