Not only that, the article linked to contains this paragraph: Stewart, a New Yorker who has resided in Salt Lake City for the past five years, will recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its

The general point of these benchmarks is not to resemble a full production app, but to provide a baseline measurement. From the original blog post[1]: This exercise aims to provide a "baseline" for performance across the variety of framewo

For those new to these benchmarks, all of the source code is up on github: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks We welcome all pull requests, suggestions and criticisms.

I appreciate the reply and further details on these NZ plans. Given the rather high cost of $1.20/GB, I naively assumed that these plans did not actually also have a minimum account fee. I would still contend that $1.20/GB is ridiculously h

The problem with this is that the actual transit cost per GB never seems to come close to what the ISPs charge. $1.20 per GB could very well be 100 times what the ISP ends up paying to actually move the GB. The basic problem is that the up-

It still amazes me that some companies have, apparently, never heard of the Streisand Effect [1]. This was arguably forgivable in a pre-Internet time, but now? On the other hand, I suppose this might work as a signal - a company that does n

And, in the case of this seller, it appears this was not an isolated incident. In their reply to the one star review, they state: Sorry- no idea there was postage due. This has happened alot from USPS lately. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/

Sorry, maybe my original post was not entirely clear. Let's take tapestry, for example. On dedicated hardware, the peak throughput in responses per second was 75,002. On ec2, it was 3,901 responses per second. So, in responses per second, t

In the same vein, I was curious to compare the max responses/second on dedicated hardware vs ec2 on a per framework basis. The following is percentage throughput of ec2 vs dedicated (in res/s): cake 18.9% (312 vs 59) compojure 12.1% (10

We actually evaluated Lombok for this reason (and others), and eventually decided against continuing with it for a few reasons: * Every team member must install the eclipse plugin (which, if you already have any eclipse vm args set, also re

The boilerplate getters and setters in java do get old very quickly, and C#'s properties handle this nicely. On the surface, it seems like something minor and superficial, but when you are seeing the unnecessary verbosity of getters and set

Indeed. And property taxes. And spending from general funds. Etc, etc. 40% of spending on roads comes from funds completely unrelated to gas or vehicle taxes. This amounts to about $180 per person per year in funds unrelated to taxing autom

This is a promising response, although one part is of (possibly unfounded) concern: "And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network."

Anecdotal, yes, but I have actually been asked the manhole cover question in an interview. Even if it started out as an urban legend, it does appear to be in use in the wild now.

Nice redesign. It is definitely more intriguing, for me at least, than the current exec site. However, your current font choice for most of the text displays pretty badly on Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/ERhwXio.png Take a look at the small

I imagine that Google imposes pretty strict limits on computation time for any javascript that is run, so I'm not sure how realistic that idea is.
