We did run a test some time ago. We weren't in a position to pay for their enterprise edition and the community edition didn't have the right feature set for us. Differences between the two here: http://www.infobright.org/Learn-More/ICE_IE

We went old school. We have a whole bunch of MySQL instances that we've sharded (using consistent hashing). Queries are sent to all of the shards and then aggregated on one of our query servers. We also aggregate as we go which means there'

This is great. I've been keeping an eye on the meta markets blog for entries about Druid because we've been doing something similar and it's always useful to see how other folk are solving a shared problem. Regarding what's on github: a lot

I suspect that if TypeScript takes off that this will probably be crowd sourced, i.e. expect to see a ts-node project on github. That said, I think they've done a reasonably good job of making it painless. Even if it weren't required, I qui

Nope. I probably should have used a different example for the interface. The examples are from the full spec where they progress a little more gradually from a BankAccount interface to a BankAccount class to a CheckingAccount subclass.

Very interesting. The Apache 2.0 Licence is comforting, makes it worth having a look. The docs are here for anyone interested in the spec: http://typescript.codeplex.com/documentation I like what they've done. Nothing too revolutionary, m

I agree with you regarding the support ratio but disagree with you that Windows is necessarily easier to install on a blank machine. I think that an uninformed user would probably struggle just as much with a blank computer and a Windows in

I'm not sure this is accurate. The Kickstarter terms of service say: "Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill." http://w

I thought the real issue here is that you either need server infrastructure or sufficient intermediate nodes to do NAT hole punching (like Skype)?

It's amusing that in a thread about the advantages of Haskell, immutability is being identified as the largest failure a language has made. I don't think immutable Strings are a bad idea but I do think it's unfortunate that Java: - Made Str

It's a good point but the wording in the guidelines suggests that both the 3rd party and the site operator share responsibility to get consent (ignoring the fact that Facebook may just sidestep this, being a US based company): "The person s

There's a whole class of 'mom & pop' type websites out there that need analytics to function but: * It's hosted in a way that precludes putting your own analytics in there (github pages, s3 etc.) * The users lack the technical sophistic

The most likely impact it will have is that it will drive more advertisers to closed platforms like Facebook where gaining consent will be easier. That's not to say Facebook won't be impacted, given that they won't be able to passively coll

Any project management software out there that takes an ML / probabilistic approach to this? One thing I found at one of the mega-corps that I worked at is that both project managers and regular managers were blind to history. Note: this wa

Why I have learned go: The overlap between problems that I'd like to solve with node.js and go is pretty large and I prefer being able to use a statically typed language with coroutines and multicore support built in. The libraries are grea

Amusingly, I had to implement this not 2 days ago. Since we're using MaxMind's GeoIP lookup anyway, it was just a case of using the auto-generated com.maxmind.geoip.timeZone class. Edit: Not quite lat / long to Time Zone, though, more IP -&

Hi Ugh. How do you reconcile your view that this is a simple issue with the fact that it seems to be resulting in a large amount of discussion with a wide variety of views represented, some of which are diametrically opposed. I would conten

By a similar argument, legislated copy protection is not a legitimate problem, it's an unavoidable side-effect of having easy and cheap duplication and transport of content based products. We pretend that this is a new problem but copyright

Hi g2orge. This is something I've always wanted to ask folk who just use vim for writing Java code (assuming it is Java): - How do you refactor code? - How do you navigate code (e.g. Eclipse will let you click on a class and it'll find the

One of the most positive changes I made to my programming / design was to start taking notes that looked like a stream of consciousness conversation with myself. I was doing a fair bit of pair programming and I found that talking to my pair

I believe that the cost is in BT Central Pipes traffic to the ADSL tail, which doesn't benefit from peering agreements.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this and I agree with you. The problem here is the ISP pricing models. As part of their marketing, they create 'uncapped' tariffs based on a business model that says that most users won't download a great deal

While I applaud their efforts, it's not like the BBC is unbiased. iPlayer benefits massively from 'net neutrality'. I recall speaking to an ISP who mentioned that 90% of their traffic during the olympics was iPlayer traffic. I'm completely

This is great. This is a pretty old, no brainer JSR that seemed to have got stuck in committee for ages. A few highlights: - The standard is DI friendly (rather than just having a singleton way of getting a CacheManager, which is how a lot
