   Not a Hadoop distribution as Databricks uses S3 and DBIO for storage not HDFS. It doesn't even use Yarn so it can't really be called Hadoop at all. Basically the product is Spark Notebooks (think Juypter) on AWS that allow you to

   It is weird how small our global tech tribe is. I would estimate I download tmux via homebrew once a year on average. It is possible 112,000 represents a good estimate of all mac carrying tmux users in the world [*]. For comparison this is

   Australia has MyGov and I have to say it works really well https://my.gov.au . Linking accounts is fairly painless and I assume it also functions as a pseudo MDM (Master Data Management) tool in that Government departments have a

    The use case is probably not around maps but more around ads. Say you have a web project using cloudflare. There can be a single button on cloudflare called "monetise" which injects ads into the page. Additionally I've seen t

    I looked at using AWS Elasticsearch Service for a project but had to back out due to the lack of plugin support. Running elasticsearch yourself, even in a HA setup is actually fairly easy.

    I've switched to Bing on my mobile as well. My contract with a search engine is that they should provide links to other sites in a relatively painless way. In exchange for this the search engine can track me while I am on the site. AMP

    I assume given their setup that they were only using React for interactive components and the rendering / routing was done server side in good old PHP by their framework.

    I made a simple ruby Sinatra app using Google docs as my spreadsheet and then used Mailchimp for emails. It worked fairly well and made it easy to play with the data.

    I find it slightly amusing that there is far more content in the comments here on HN than the post itself.

    New Zealand has been 80% renewable for many years (at least for electricity). We do have a great mix of geothermal and hydro but it can definitely be done at a country wide scale.

    Agree that secure source is required but the compiler trust issues become different with reproducible builds: you only need to trust the initial operating system binary and intermediate source code. The next compiler is built reproducibly

    Woah. This is something that would cause me to switch over from Linux. Reproducible builds are so important, they prevent a build server or developer laptop from being a single point of failure as a tainted build can now be detected by othe

    They are quite good but why do I get the feeling the domain name was bought before the idea was decided on.
