It's overly Auto-tuned! Opiates play a vital role if they're respected my both the practitioners and patients. I don't think they are something to mess around with or joke about, Fentanyl is very dangerous if abused as a smal

Don't be, I have a good quality of life (even started going to the gym again, can't do cardio but that doesn't stop me doing weights). Only thing really missing is that I've stopped travelling (a two hour train journey i

On a bad day I cannot move, I lay in a darkened room as everything seems to annoy me (light, noise, even my own music). A few months ago, this meant that I couldn't get out of the house to pick my prescription (on a Friday), and it was

I've been through most Opiates, was on Codeine & Tramadol for two years (because my GP was scared of me becoming a addict), during that time I found it very hard to sleep properly (I'd even go as far as say the prolonged perio

The Wikipedia entry is on the extreme end of the scale, luckily my case isn't as severe. My injury is the result of a skiing injury (and following operations) 5 years ago. I'm actually glad to have physical symptoms (swelling &amp

As someone who is currently prescribed Fentanyl (for complex pain syndrome). The patches are very different to the product mentioned here, spay. Not everyone on Fentanyl is an addict and it does have many valid use cases. I would argue that

So are there any ways to mitigate a DDoS attack, aside from throwing money at it by buying a large pipe? Null routing/ taking the site offline doesn't sound like a solution.

My startup Velox.io ( https://velox.io , which is looking to go live in the next couple of months) is working on the same issue. Right now writing code is overly verbose (and often brittle). The author does make some good points a

I'd imaging carbon nanotubes will also holdup better to electron-migration than silicon? I love how technology pushes the limits of physics. It seems like ages ago that we thought we reached the limits of mechanical hard-drive capacity

I'd say 10k LoC is where design and architecture start to become vital, you can't just hack away without breaking stuff. I personally think copy & paste is an anti-pattern (instead, use features such as generics), but many thi

You really can't use WP without some form of caching (be it a plugin or proxy). I do wonder how much energy is wasted from poorly optimised websites & systems?

There's literally a dozen ways to structure/ design a storage engine, every one of them has their pros and con's. MVCC is so popular because it makes ACID compliance much easier to implement, but there is some additional read

You pretty much hit the nail on the head, a big limitation is the feeding the GPUs in the first place. Furthermore, all that memory bandwidth is calculated against all the cores. So you have to be VERY careful in usage patterns (it doesn&#x

Question 1#: Is there a reason PATCH is used (or even needed?), instead of PUT to update records? (Create, Read, Update & Delete => POST, GET, PUT & DELETE) seem like a natural fit, why complicate things? Question 2#: What is the

So was the problem the sound of the gas coming out resonating with the drives? If so it's quite a big co-incidence, and goes to show how hard it is to mitigate against every event.

They acquired Softlayer, and they're pushing BlueMix and Watson pretty hard - so they definitely have a footing in the cloud hosting/ services!

This is a GPU rather the a DSP (the tricky part is rendering not filtering). Core count is a bit of a pointless metric unless you know how big/ powerful a core is. I like the idea of a self contained VR headset with no wires, but I don
