The default query already filled in is translating to the use of a Group function, which is a very bad idea. While not deprecated per se, its use is discouraged. Group does not function in Sharding mode at all , it also takes a lock on the

Most of the listed responsibility items would not fall under the purview of the Executive (the President) but rather the Legislature (Congress - the House + Senate). There seems to be a persistent expectation in the United States that the P

The OCZ drives are fantastic. I'm running a Vertex 3 right now, which rates at about 60,000 IOPS. It was a replacement for a short lived Crucial. This is entirely anecdotal, and by no means a smear against Crucial I put a Crucial into my

As I recall, that was always the idea behind Vim. To bring the power and flexibility the author appreciated in EMACS to the style and interface of Vi. There's value to be found in taking the best of multiple worlds into one product. I for

You'd be surprised. During Operation Just Cause in Panama, US troops used loudspeakers blasting music (including Van Halen) to flush Noriega out of his hiding place. Believe it or not, even government workers have a sense of humor ...

It seems we all may be missing the "backed" part - which I did on my first read through. They don't seem to be revealing how much of the logical volume is actual SSD, which I think is why they're instead putting down IOPS numbers. Still, a

Notably as well, This American Life released the podcast and audio stream early to their website so everyone could hear it. I listened to the podcast this morning and was impressed at the way they approached it. A particularly poignant bit

Isn't this at least partly discriminatory? It seems likely if not Federal, there may be some kind of California law which may cover this. It seems to me that making a public statement about this could burn them in the future.

It's a relatively well acknowledged fact in the community that Scala's builtin actors are heavily flawed. This is why many of us switched to using Akka. It is also why there are currently plans to integrate Akka actors into the language it

Have we considered, frankly, the cost of a AAA title these days? IMDB Estimates the budget of Skyrim at $100m ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1814884/ ). That isn't an unreasonable number – there have been a number of recent games which hit

The amount of hyperbole and ranting on the NSFW angle to me on this thread over the last day is rather disappointing. One should not think of the NSFW tag as a comment on morality, puritanism or anything else. It is simply a common part of

When we added it, being a new feature the decision was made not to initially flip it to default in case of bugs, unexpected behavior, etc. As noted, it's possible that will change in future releases; there's been a lot of improvements to jo

There are pretty strong guidelines with regards to patents for any technology you turn over to an ECMA standard which basically removes your ability to patent troll by legal license.

Getting Shit Done trumps all things. The reality as well is that the majority of the .Net platform (with the exception of the Standard Libraries, I believe) are open ECMA Standards (See among others, #335).

While this is a statement in some ways of preference it is a reasonable comment; not sure why it's getting downvoted. However, can you clarify why you would argue for type classes over duck/structural typing? You indicate that 'type classe
