I always cringe a bit when people point to papers[0] when it comes to software that has is supposed to have real world usage. Just because a paper described a system that handles distributed transactions well doesn't mean that this software

I had the same experience about throughput being a bit sub-par. For me it was a test on a single macbook pro with a regular 2.5" hdd. Which client did you use to write to riak? protobuf or http? Also: which language? did you use threading

His blogpost was quite questionable imho. Things like these really read as very professional, at least to me: - "Impeccable logic." - ' At this point. You might as well just tell me "fuck you. you didn't sign a contract. boohoo." ' - ' I wa

As long as the email isn't as fully formulated as an actual contract I usually tend to see them more as a declaration of an intent that isn't 100% fixed yet and is missing some of the details. (such as: you won't get it after you decided to

Honestly, the answers that the Miso founders gave seemed very professional and I think am a bit on their side in this one. If OP had asked for the bonus while still being at Miso, it seems like he would simply have gotten it. Seeing as a

German universities are financed by the states. You probably won't find many good operations people or programmers working for that little money.

All of these "webex-replacement" solutions seem to have a horrible case of feature creep. SOAP API? Private Messages? Calendar? Isn't there a plain and simple solution? Something like an open version of the google plus hangouts

I wonder why they use both, redis and memcached. Wouldn't redis be a decent enough replacement so they could kick a bit of additional infrastructure

Last time I checked the ruby driver for risk didn't properly support secondary indexes. Looking at https://github.com/basho/riak-ruby-client and https://github.com/seancribbs/ripple , I can't see it there today either. I'm sure that I mi

There is Mechanize ( http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/ ) which uses Nokogiri (nokogiri.org/) internally and thus nicely supports CSS and XPATH expressions. There is also Capybara, usually used as a testing framework, but you can easily naviga

by rb2k_ 14y ago
I would actually have bought it for 5$, but seeing 15$ for the download is kind of a bummer. Louis CK (a pretty well known comedian with his own TV shows) charged 5$ for his evening special in a hassle/drm-free HD download and was pretty su

It might just be my German origin, but I wouldn't call an SUV a Jeep either. We do however call all of the off road-capable bulky cars with the roll-over protection thingy ("Überrollbügel" in German, can't think of the English equivalent) J

Wouldn't that mean that the device will first try to download all of the low res images and when the script finished loading and is running, the device would then start to load all of the high res images. How's the user experience with all

with a CMS you have barely any writes. Not sure your fear is well grounded in reality :)

It seems like a really nice CMS. I love aloha as an editor and the native multi site capabilities. But sadly there is no demo link available (crossed out) and the installation is quite a bit more complex than for the usual Rails CMS :( It's
