Master/slave is almost always misused anyway. Yes one database will do all the work(we will call that one master) and the other will sit around all day waiting to take over(we call that one the slave). me nodding. yep that is about how

The database is the file, the management system is the api to use the file.

Whenever I read an article about formal verification systems there is always that nagging thought in the back of my head. Why can you trust your formal verification system to be bug free but you can't trust the program. should not the

Now I am searching to see if there were models of player pianos intended to punch tape. I have never really thought about it but a player piano sort of implies it can only play the roll. If pressed I would guess that player piano rolls were

These code base cad systems are pretty great. But all of them are imperative languages and as such can only solve imperative constraints. Including declarative constraints would be very welcome. I mean, sure, Theoretically we could enter th

I had a blackberry passport and it had a lot going for it(best keyboard ever on a phone) but one thing I really liked for reasons I don't understand is it had a square screen and took square photos.

The sgi stuff was also engineering focused. The net result was it was not really that fast, powerful sure, but my understanding is the early consumer cards(voodoo) could run rings around them. The game cards did not have the z-buffer depth,

Youtube search is also weird in that it has a hard time finding something directly but will find it and put it it in the suggested videos feed after you have given up. 4 or 5 videos later. (shrugs) hell if I know. But really, if I ever see

Teapot is pretty great, it's too bad there is close to zero room for real innovation in the spreadsheet domain. For the most part if it's not spreadsheeting how prophet Dan Bricklin envisioned, people don't want it. See also:

As much as I like bsd I think the socket interface is their biggest failure, don't get me wrong, the socket interface is not bad, it is an amazing accomplishment that most of the internet is based on. The reason I regard it as a failur

Email(smtp) is not a bad choice for messaging in space(or anywhere really) it is a well understood robust protocol designed in a time when all networks were slow and intermittent. Exactly what you need in space. IMAP probably not so much,

Pretty much. A given mac address assigned in the vm config maps directly to a static slaac address(the ones they recommend you not use) and those preknown slaac address are in dns, Like I said, I should probably use dhcp6 but it was a perso
