Eh, maybe. I'm from Galway originally, and I've been casually eying up the situation in anticipation of a Brexit disaster. So far I haven't seen anything outside of Dublin that's wowed me, but would love to be proven wro

Aye, fingers crossed :) I've been living in Edinburgh for the last few years, and absolutely love it. I'd be delighted to stay and live in an independent Scottish state.

Dublin seems to be the only worthwhile location for tech-related business, which is a shame as I prefer cities like Galway and Cork.

Same. I was born and raised in Ireland, left for Scotland about six years ago. We'll be abandoning ship if this Brexit madness proceeds. EDIT: now that I think about it, I'm kinda looking forward to a swarm of bright Irish ex-pats

Having read through the readme, I think some of the issues outlined could be solved by having a cell-based model like jupyter/ipython. Basically a command (input) and its corresponding output are tied together as a "cell". Th

For anyone looking around for a new language to try: give Elixir serious consideration. I've been learning Elixir over the last few months and it's been a breath of fresh air. EDIT: In case it's not clear from the context, he

Eh, Mongo still has a better distribution/sharding/failover story, which really matters for some.

It seemed to be the most performant option available, aside from C. I wouldn't be opposed to re-writing in a more-performant extension language if needed. EDIT: also, PL/PgSQL is installed by default, and I wanted to see if I coul

Hi All, I've been working on this project on-and-off for a few years now, and thought it was time to show it to the public. The Gist: BedquiltDB is a vaguely mongodb-inspired json store built on top of PostgreSQL's jsonb column ty

A few years back I thought it would be fun to do a Scala project (which ended up being http://nightchamber.com ) while staying with my in-laws over christmas. It got much less fun when each deploy to the prod server took an hour

True for Steam Machines, but it wouldn't help in this specific case, as Bloodborne is a PS4 exclusive.

I wonder if this could be used to decrypt/unpack/dump/whatever the contents of games? I know the Dark Souls community are gasping to see the cut content which may or may not live inside the Bloodborne game files.

Why wouldn't it though? If most humans are offensive jerks then we can't be too surprised when an AI, who we've built specifically to mimic human beings, becomes a jerk too. I see this debacle as just a natural consequence of
