   I wouldn't say it's full blown hiring. Maybe micro-hiring. Is that a term?

   So jealous, I would kill to have access TaskRabbit/Uber/FreshDirect/etc, but it seems like those types of services only make it to NYC or SF. Living in Charleston, SC has its perks, but getting new tech first is not one of them. Laundry &#3

   Thanks! Fiverr was great. I had FancyHands find me a high rated proofreader on there and ask him if he'd be willing to do a 62-page, 15,000 word doc (the guy normally was doing 1500 words for ~$5). He said sure, for $50, and that the turna

   It's because of the "run naked" post I wrote a few months ago.

   As someone that has only sold self-published ebooks (where I keep 98% of the profit), I always forget how bad the split is on "real" platforms. The fact that (in the publishing world) 35% is VERY VERY GOOD, blows my mind even more! I can't

   Came here to post the same thing. I don't know if it has been fixed in 5.4, though.

   My question is - why does Postgres need its own scheduler? Shouldn't that be the job of the OS? Is it a legacy thing or just something to squeeze out a tiny bit of extra performance?

   Are you looking to learn the ops side or just want to play with Hadoop to learn how it works and how to use create jobs? If you want to learn the "ops" side, EC2 is great for building clusters, tearing them down, testing different configura

    The only value I see (and why I use it), is so that I can track how many RSS readers I have. Also interesting - RSS (for me anyways) converts really poorly. On 100,000 pageviews, I only pick up about 100 or so RSS subscribers.

    In college, my friend (who was by no means an expert) picked the lock on the elevator with a paperclip and a shim. These "locks" are only designed to keep out the honest people.

    I'll send you an email and we can figure it out - I email pretty regularly. I wonder if you have an older copy of the book, too.

    The downside, or challenge, with NoSQL (generally speaking) is that you need to handle your aggregations ahead of time - you need to know what queries you'll want to run in the future when you store your data. If you have some new aggregati

    Wonder how much of that 8 billion in payments/year they see. 2.75% (their fee) of 8 billion is 220 million. How much of that do they have to pay out to the payment networks?

    Not true! I respond to emails almost immediately, sent out an email two mondays ago, and have updated the GitHub repository every single day for the last 10 days. If you have beef with me, email me, but don't slander me. And, if you're unha

    I guess it depends on your frame. For me, it's fairly insignificant because I don't take many appointments - maybe 1 per week, tops. So it's no big deal. If I had 4 or 5 per day, well, that'd be a different story.

    If you add the event like.. "Take train at 2PM EST" it will do the math for you

    I did (and still use) alarms on my iPhone to remind me before events that I absolutely cannot miss. I agree with your point but I think you can find a balance between not missing the train and having a clock chained to your ankle.

    I have a retina. It has the burn-in problem. It's not noticeable and doesn't bother me. It's the price you pay for 1st-gen, new technology.

    Man, this got so much flack from the PHP community that didn't see the power in having a built-in webserver. For some reason, people center on that it's supposed to replace Apache/nginx, which it's not. Languages and frameworks aside, one o

    Hey author! Charge more! $5 is seriously undervaluing your product. P.S I bought it. It's 61 pages of great material. Go give this guy some money.

    How to deploy code when GitHub is down? It's not that the title is bad, it's just that there are 100 other "GitHub is down!!!" posts in the new section linking to their status page right now

    by stevencorona 14y ago

    Wish this had a different title because it's bound to get lost with all of the other "GitHub is down" posts, but there is some good information in here on how to deploy and share your git repositories when GitHub is down.
