Similarly good experiences with setting up custom recipes that don't use the built in 'App' stack (which provides Rails, Node, and some others). I was able to go from the 'tinkering at 2am' level of ruby experience

That's a scary thought.. As recently as 2011 when given an Aldi and a Rewe next door to each other, it was really difficult to ever choose Aldi (in fact, the only reason to really venture in was their cheap and unlimited 3G SIM card re

This is a little different though, as the company is named after the product now.. I don't know of any for-profit companies that have done this but the Blender Foundation has gotten on just fine.

If this is interesting to you then I'd highly recommend Java Concurrency in Practice [1]. It goes through the then-new java.util.concurrent package, but more importantly, does a really good job of making all of the theoretical concept

I don't know if its that old, but there was definitely a talk on this presented some time back. From what I remember, there was a lot of HN discussion around "well that's great but its just a download server" and some o

Interesting, it looks like the WebObjects application(s) has actually been undeployed. I poked around the main developer.apple.com for a bit until I got here: https://developer.apple.com/programs/start/safari/

Thanks for the explanation, definitely an interesting routine and the performance numbers he touts in the blog post make it something I'd definitely look to test on my own

Does anyone else think that the best way to promote PHP would be to have a home page that doesn't take 240ms of processing before it starts to download?

Another NYC gem is the abandoned Cobble Hill Tunnel on the border of Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights. It is also the oldest cut and cover construction in North America for the subterranean fans out there. http://en.m.wikipedia.

Right, CUDA is Nvidia only (8-series and above, so basically anything after 2006). The stuff in the article can totally be replicated in OpenCL. Especially since OpenCL 1.1 where buffers can be shared between GL and CL contexts, which IIR

I thought 83 GB/hr seemed like not much capacity, and indeed that really isn't much. I've seen these units (and from other carriers as well, IIRC) before and figured they were bringing massive amounts of extra backhaul to spots with big ev

Wow, in about 4 minutes I was able to track down a UI positioning bug with the UINavigationBar that has been nagging us for two months. Buying 5 copies now.

+1 and I would've bought one immediately if it didn't have the same internals as my iPad 2. Put the 4th gen parts inside with a retina display and I'd be all over that.

I would argue that its actually a multi-tiered question where the choice isn't really "NoSQL or RDBMS" but "NoSQL or ORM talking to RDBMS or going straight to RDBMS" Here, the naive developer uses MongoDB as an all-in-one that rolls in the

There were unlocked lanes as well as the ability to use Quadro firmware with 8800GTS cards (which offered improved IQ in apps like Autodesk 3ds). As you allude to though, I'm pretty sure that the professional workstation cards are of a bet

Looks like there are a few people in the same boat as myself. Was a cli purist but caved on a complicated merge. Actually seeing the commit graph was incredibly helpful. Later on I discovered that Command-Clicking two commits anywhere in
