I was an early Kickstarter backer and got mine right around the beginning of 2016. For me the sweet spot was small size, and WiFi. Note this was before The RPi3 was announced with onboard Wifi. CHIP had an early issue with flash corrupti

I am not an expert but from using InfluxDB I think influx supports more features in terms of aggregation/rollups/ gap filling/ retention/ etc. But I suspect Riak TS would win on certain scalability use cases because i

It looks very cool but it's terribly difficult to read.

I decided to tee my timeseries data into InfluxDB. Purpose built for the task and has builtin support for rollups/ aggregation/ retention policy/ gap filling. Admittedly I have not put Influx under much stress or scalabilit

You're right, very good point.

What I don't understand is, how is neodymium undetectable? Wouldn't they notice the unusually strong magnetic force?

I think at this point the UCI do always inspect the winner's bike after each stage. Here's a scenario where a rider could avoid most scrutiny and get away with it.... Say a rider doesn't finish in the top 5 for any early s

Even with a big lead you would be hard-pressed to have a mechanical requiring a bike change and still win. Yes you can switch bikes but you will be trailing the peloton by then (where the support cars are.) Early or mid-race you could c

Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding - I'll re-read the post and see if I can understand the scenario you're describing.

re: an action caller needing to wait on the async action to complete: I thought that was a non-issue. If you use redux-thunk and your action creator returns a promise, the caller gets it. So while you're no longer triggering off of

Better markup DSLs have already been written, which "mingle" better in code: HAML and Jade. Unfortunately reactjs-jade never gained any momentum it seems. Hyperscript seems like a "reasonable alternative" to JSX. I won

I think if they're running unmodified code, they could just say "we are running X version Y with no modifications" and link to the upstream and be done with it. Which could be the case. Or they have modified it and are ref

I don't think zsh uses the .inputrc file, actually. I've actually never looked into how oh-my-zsh does it.

Yup, it changes the default behavior slightly but as @omalsa04 mentioned if you just hit <up> without typing anything it will iterate through the whole command history, the same as it would without this binding.

I feel like discussion of 'sensible bash defaults' is incomplete without mention of .inputrc. My most "can't live without it" setting for bash is actually an .inputrc setting: # From http://www.ukuu

Github does something similar, if you drag an image into the textarea in their issue tracker, it uploads the image to (I think) a public URL. I've considered what this could mean for teams with private projects who might e.g. attach s

TFA doesn't mention whether or how far the project is over budget or behind its original schedule. Does that mean it is on schedule and on budget? If so that's amazing. I'm used to constantly hearing stories like the "

I like the repl interface, and on the homepage screenshots make it look like it's a native, client-side app. I would I would actually like to have a rich node repl as a native app. Just take the frontend code and replace the remote ba

If by "every day" you mean "when there's a major version release," then yes. Major releases bring potentially breaking changes.

Also, since SSMP is completely text-based, does that mean the only way to send binary data is to base64-encode it? Or does it support a length header or chunking similar to HTTP?

by thom_nic 11y ago
Neat but it's not clear how client authentication is handled in SSMP. I have used XMPP in the past and built-in identity was one of the biggest plusses of the protocol.
