No, rolling out code, and seeing it run in production makes developers more responsible. Having developers write their own code doesn't do the same thing.

Debian Unstable? Or Stable? I found the big problem with Debian Stable is that they move way too slow for any modern Linux distro. I wish that all Linux distros would just go to a rolling release model like Gentoo, and where Ubuntu is going

You can't stop the signal. But to answer the original question, this really isn't very interesting.

So, we recently did the cost calculation of whether it was cheaper (based on an application benchmark) to use a bunch of different ARM processors vs. the Intel Sandybridge-E line. Based on our TCO numbers, Intel outperformed ARM by quite a

Does DDG do all their own crawling? If I remember correctly, they mix Bing and some of their own crawling to get you a search.

So, the problem that I have with PostgreSQL isn't that it doesn't have every datastore under the sun, but rather the lack of automated distribution, and fault-tolerance. This is not a hard thing to build though (continue reading please). I

I would rather have a talkative, witty, intelligent person at a vendor booth as opposed to an attractive, non-talkative, non-witty, non-intelligent man, but perhaps that's just me.

RAS has been pretty awesome in the community. He was actually the cofounder of the company we called nLayer. He's given a bunch of very valuable "101" talks at NANOG (think of this as the Hacker News for networking people), and until the ac

I don't entirely know how I feel about this hack. I feel like this is really similar to unlocking the "Professional" version of a piece of software with a serial key generator. Although, I understand hardware is dramatically different than

Except, for this attack you have to be link-local (fe80 is local scope, and so are router advertisements). Realistically, for most server installs you're okay. For coffee shops with an open, insecure broadcast domain, not so much

Argh, "And, yes, you do need two separate types of time keepers" - No, you must establish a quorum of time keepers. Almost everyone's advice when setting up high reliability time keeping systems is to use 1 clock, or >3. 2 is no better

I know at an ex-employer of mine, we chose to use an outsourced shredding company mostly because of legal reasons. I'm not entirely sure how it worked, but since we were handling PHI (patient health information), we had certain rules we had

I wonder if they're finally switching from Oracle to Postgres. I know that their Oracle clusters are a significant portion of their bottom line. Alternatively, I wonder if this is a replacement for their new Hbase cluster for feeds. There

I hope they're going to open up the delivery technology, either to allow someone to commoditize it, and make it available to consumers (for taco delivery), or other noble causes, like rescue, etc.. Additionally, I'm somewhat curious as to w

The better question is, does it actually matter? If this is a marketing ploy then we can just assume that its an attention grabber. For all we know, it could be a PRNG that increments when it feels like it.

Right now, it's incredibly difficult to find good PostgreSQL talent. One of those reasons is because a lot of postgres skills are interchangeable with MS-SQL, and Oracle (or insert enterprise RDBMS of choice here), and they pay much better
