I wonder how much consoles are to blame for that. Big studios that have the power to drive PC upgrades produce mainly for decade-old hardware, which is just peanuts by the standards of today's PCs.

> GTA V shares literally nothing with GTA IV So they threw GTA IV out and did everything from scratch? I very much doubt it. That said, we're talking about GTA here, the game that outdid itself with every single iteration. Why shoul

The result ends up communicating "infinity" not "global". And there's nothing infinite about Google, I'd say.

I'm a big fan of the series, but I decided to sit this one out until a PS4 / GTA V bundle comes out -- The game doesn't seem to look any better than GTA IV on PS3 and I don't want to feel like I'm playing yet anothe

Very fun to look at :) Though I'm not sure about what novel insights one might get from this work. Also, I wonder why there's a nice rectangular cluster of tweets around Japan.

Also have a look at "dstat - versatile tool for generating system resource statistics". It uses colors, so it's a bit easier to interpret at first sight. It's a simple "emerge dstat" away in Gentoo.

Many-to-many relationships come with their own overhead -- you use additional resources for foreign keys, indexes, etc. If your data is seldom updated (or not that big), not used for database operations, and having it all in memory is fine,

Actually, you can get away pretty well with most cases of searching inside postgres arrays (including joins) thanks to partial indexes. This of course doesn't invalidate the point that if you need to perform relational operations on a

In my experience, ZeroMQ is very fragile in RPC-like applications, especially because it tries to abstract away the "connection". This mindset is very appropriate when you're doing multicast (and ZeroMQ rocks when doing mul

Netbeans' Python support was quite nice as well -- so nice I kept a separate Netbeans 6.9.1 just to keep Python support. However, it was never ported to Netbeans 7 and upwards. Sadly, that version is too old now. With no git and svn 1

FWIW, we try very hard to not write any check constraints and do any such validation at the protocol level, before the request even hits the authn/authz layer. (Spyne makes it easy ! http://spyne.io )

I'd love to see plan locking. I've read many horror stories where Postgres just by itself took an application down because its query planner decided to execute a particular query using seqscans because some statistic somewhere went above a

When I was playing water-polo (10+ years ago), we always did some mild stretching (a couple of moves repeated maybe 10x) after a 20-min jog session and some body-weight exercises, right before getting into pool. We were said that trying to

From an API perspective, msgpack is indeed quite similar to json (at least for python) -- it was quite easy to reuse existing json machinery for integrating into spyne. I'm not aware of anybody using Spyne with msgpack though.

Skype client should be axed instead. I'm guessing they're doing this because it'd be much harder to bolt Skype's VoIP engine to Messenger.

I'm working on a similar thing for Spyne. It's not fully working (nor released) yet but tests are here: https://github.com/arskom/spyne/blob/master/spyne/test/test_... Basically, complex objects can be stored as json and xml as well as us

I'm not sure what you mean by "fixing" javascript's OO implementation, but I guess you could have a look at qxoo, qooxdoo's oo engine re-packaged as a standalone project. https://github.com/fjakobs/qxoo/
