I don't think that the deepest technical roles in computing, including programming are social enough for most women. Programming requires you to work without talking to anyone and even when you've finished many non-tech people won't underst

They're both pretty old I think, around 2001? Neither seem particularly relevant to today's SSDs.

A really interesting point at about 37 minutes in, where they say that drives could end up executing code just like graphics cards do now. That could really speed things up. You wouldn't have all the latency of doing multiple reads on the d

Well really the problem with Facebook is that's too complex. Though I'd agree there are non-sys admin problems that people have, but the worst problems are all sys. admin type ones, viruses, out of space, slowness. The user-space stuff is n

To me, many of the issues are the computer telling the user about stuff they shouldn't have to worry about. For example, wouldn't cloud computing solve most of these problems by not giving the responsibility for the problem to the user? Ch

My guess is that's going to pretty expensive to buy a company with that much profit already and he's already turned down a $10m offer.

Does Visa actually know what you've bought? "Cardholders who purchased carbon-monoxide detectors, premium birdseed, and felt pads for the bottoms of their chair legs rarely missed a payment." My bank statements only state where something wa

Suddenly all those answer sites like Yahoo Answers, Answers.com, Mahalo Answers etc. seem very male oriented. Though someone posting that their computer is broken only to receive answers like "yes, I'm listening" and "I understand" is proba

Looks a lot like an iPad, except less battery life, much less storage and heavier. It does have a bigger, higher resolution screen and a camera though. I think they got the balance on this product wrong and Apple got it right.

Did George Bush go "somewhere"? Most people by going "somewhere", want to significantly grow from where their parents put them, which includes doing a lot better than their parents. George Bush's Dad was already president before him. Though

StackOverflow runs on a 3.33 Ghz quad core x 2, 48 GB RAM, 6 drive RAID 10 http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/12/stack-overflow-rack-gl... So if Digg is as 10x times the size they would need a (assuming perfect scaling) 3.33 Ghz quad core

Well, to me, you are trying to solve the wrong problem. Everyone is voting for what they like which all goes into one big pool. I think you should let people create groups with their own rules. Flickr already has a very active scene where p

Actually there are tons of voting groups of Flickr, I was really hoping that app was a way to do that better, but everything is lumped together, so it doesn't.

This is not new. The option only appears when there are foreign language tweets on the page. I've used in numerous times in the last few months (and probably before). My guess is that it has been there since before Twitter acquired summize.

Cassandra is about scaling writes not reads. MySQL is slow on writes because you'll get a random write for every index you maintain (+the table it's self). MySQL's replication will help scale reads but does nothing for writes. Cassandra i

You can only do it on the index, the query from the index will return in the sort order. You have to be very careful in your index and query design to make this work. For example if your index is (username, date_posted) then you can do some

I don't think you can have the fulltext index in the same index as the id since fulltext indexes don't mix with anything.

by rythie 17y ago
There won't be an index with both the full text search and the id in, so MySQL will have to create a temporary table with the results and sort that and do the limit. If you have a TEXT or a BLOB column or it's too big, MySQL will do that on

I think it would be a hard sell to say you have to drop that feature in multiplayer mode, but I guess people live with split screen.

One problem with this, is the field of vision will be very small, so the effect would be poor. However 3D iPad type device could be really good. Maybe with the new DSi XL is a sign of things to come?

Of course like said it's single-player only games and wouldn't work for multiplayer. That's why I don't think we will see them soon.
