The data could be lost. Part of DiRT is ensuring that the result of losing N data centers is not "oops we lost 20% of GMail users data permanently". On the scale of devastation this article is describing, none of Google's ser

Free solo climbing -- climbing without the use of ropes for protection -- is a no-margin-for-error hobby. That's not the style of ascent being done by Caldwell and Jorgeson here though (it would essentially be suicide!). Free climbing

This is a Qt development (i.e. the development of Qt, not with) blog so for their regular audience the reasons for moc existing are probably already well known. It would be great if we could ditch moc. If you're using Qt without qmake

Having just gone through this for my Nexus 5 (defective GPS), you're wrong. - I was on a live-chat with a rep within minutes. - They shipped me a new Nexus 5 next-day air. - I made sure I had all my data off the old phone. -

This project was a pleasure to interact with -- definitely one of my highlights this year. Thanks! And thanks for the great write-up / open-sourcing. I think my favorite part was how they looked from far away -- the pulsing up the stem

Eh, I don't think so -- and no PR related to it mentions Material design principles. The only thing about it that looks "material"-ish is a single-column paper card sort of thing and the bold color at the top. There are no an

OTOH Larry Page doesn't care at all about something as trivial as a widely-loved RSS reader while education is something he cares about deeply. Also, there is obviously a gigantic market there.

OTOH, now your LCD's gamma can't make the ads invisible. My guess is this change makes ads more recognizable because they say the word "ad" on them. I visited my family over the holidays and was shocked to see that the a

I may be missing something but I think this could be done more cleanly with an atomic counter or semaphore [1] in Redis. 1. Have a task that releases 1 resource to the semaphore every (1.0 / cps) seconds. 2. Workers wai

The problem comes when you start releasing from your branches. Then repositories diverge, different projects have different codebases with a common ancestor. Fixes don't get propagated everywhere, etc.

Instead of merging with your G+ account you can link it to a G+ page (and use your YT username or other pseudonym as its name). This is part of the "link your account" flow. I think this would fix her problem.
