Armchair quarterbacking here of course but do you think it would be feasible/a good idea to try to switch to a less..troubled product at this point? I don't hear many horror stories about Cassandra for example and AIUI that's serving most o

Allegedly xen dom0 is going to make a return in this release at some point. Can't wait.

It seems totally insane to not build a gaming system to be infinitely partitionable as priority #1. Have users pick a realm (continent) that their region (and hence city) lives on. Only allow X cities per realm. Announce only less-loaded re

If someone crosses an empty street (i.e. no honking and swerving) how do you tell if they're #1 or #4?

We've always used a crash cart if the dracs didn't cut it. Which KVM did you go with? All the IP KVMs I've used were pretty horrid to use.

The problem is that any transaction fee is going to be strongly lobbied against and if it passes will likely have loopholes. I'd prefer a simpler structural change that isn't tied to a specific wording or implementation (like modifying the

I don't believe you can be denied entry to your home country. You might be arrested once you're admitted but I believe that at least a US citizen can't be denied entry to the USA.

Not the OP but it should be (and generally /is/) illegal to be cruel to animals even if you're going to end up eating them. Pain is much more morally questionable than death; I'd vastly rather simply cease being alive than have some horribl

I (and I'm sure many others) wrote something ugly in this space years ago in php and have spent much time since attempting to drown the remaining relevant neurons in whiskey. Good luck!

Assuming the address is findable would it be weird to leave flowers? I feel like this shouldn't stay bits on wires.

Ah I don't understand quantum foam then. Ignore me!

Also the Casimir effect [0] is quantum-foam-y I think. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect Edit: I don't know what I'm talking about.

I somehow missed Riemann, that looks super neat. The same stream parsing of reconnoiter but with clojure instead of esper. I think I'd also want to stuff all the raw events into a log (or cassandra maybe?); going back in time with only RRD-

There are all sorts of US government incentives to own. For one the mortgage interest is federally tax deductible which amounts to effectively a ~30% discount on the beginning years of the mortgage (depending on your income, etc). It's also

There's a bit of a tail risk benefit too: the utility of a house is somewhat uncorrelated to the rest of the financial market. I.e. in 2008 when the world was utterly insane your house still kept rain off your head. It's easy to overstate b

Yeah I know just enough about hardware to be dangerous but I think you can stick 6 16-bit GPIO expanders off of an I2C or SPI bus and address every switch individually. Makes no sense for mass production but for diy it's $10 in parts or som

The part about the flip being mostly on a single bit reminded me of [1], I wonder if we're seeing the same cause in two different ways? [1] http://mina.naguib.ca/blog/2012/10/22/the-little-ssh-that-so...

Bear in mind the exchanges aren't stupid, Nasdaq at least has instituted a penalty system for sending a bajillion orders and not actually trading [0]. One may certainly quibble with the exact rates and penalties but this is a thing that exi

Yup. The specific jury instructions regarding prior art are online[0]. They're pretty clear and pretty clearly contradict the foreman's interpretation of prior art. [0] http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20120828225612963

Yeah the lack of a story for how to charge the thing without someone nearby is a deal breaker for a lot of use cases. If they sort that out reasonably I can see a few places I've worked at picking up some of these for remote teams.

Yeah if you're in the handful of users area it's way overkill. Mod_mellon doesn't quite handle REMOTE_USER but it does set a request variable (MELLON_USER IIRC) so if you have any control over the source at all you can just bodge that in

You can use SAML for this too, it's a bit more Enterprise-y (read: stupidly complicated) but there are IdPs for php, python and java and SPs for Django and Apache (mod_mellon).
