Absolutely - going from Postgres to MySQL is only trading one set of problems for another. It's a longer runway, but not infinite. Their exact use-case is what things like Cassandra were built for - insanely high writes / updates.

Regardless of your opinion of The Man Himself, the company employees people that are good at things beyond social engineering. I've seen two separate engagements with them (one as a 3rd party and one as technical contact), and both fou

It's the same concept as auditors, there's the big 4 that you've probably heard of, and a ton of other, smaller firms with varying quality. You could go with a known firm like iSec Partners, Matasano (now NCC) or Mitnick Secu

I'm still hoping for someone to build a SBC like the RPi that takes POE for power. USB is convenient for general use, sure, but for something like this cluster it would be ideal to have a single wire in and out. Unfortunately it's

These queries and "show me where I can find show X across broadcast, cable, on-demand, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or other" are the reason I bought a Tivo. Their UX is still not what I'd like as far as efficiency, but they get the

CloudFormer requires you to run an EC2 instance to get access to your environment. I never understood the reasoning behind that, other than least-common denominator within AWS. Since they already publish a decent SDK and have decent APIs th

Sort of yes, but mostly no. Go read "Site Reliability Engineering" by Beyer et al. That's the clearest description for how on-call should work, and the way to get from Point A to Point B without burning anyone out. On-call is

I have several sponsored (H1B?) friends / co-workers who I would want as employees in my future startup. How expensive / difficult is it to take on sponsorship?

Tl;dr: infinite information and social streams satisfy our needs, TODOs carry a mental tax, http://project.wnyc.org/infomagical/ worked for the author. I really wish this was framed differently, so I'd know there

They have full documentation on the hardware they used as well, look at the bom.pdf for "bill of materials" which specs EVERY item. You're looking for https://na.suzohapp.com/products/arcade_game_parts&#

Evernote is my preference, since it lets you capture the content as well as the link. It's been helpful when blogs change structure or when I'm trying to remember the link based on content vs site/title.

This is an argument about tmux (and anciliarily screen) which are built to allow the exact opposite. If you need to run a task that will take a day to run you could NOHUP and background it before logging out for the day, or you launch scree

I'm sure it's easy to find "training data" for this project, but FYI 4walled dot cc is probably a GREAT source. It's an archive of thousands of 4chan images, and most are already classified by SFW / Borderline

How well does your solution handle non-white-people NSFW images? I know it's only a matter of training with other inputs, but most solutions I've seen haven't been trained with enough non-Caucasian images to give good results

As much as possible, this. If you, singular, are building Siri v2, you need to do as little as possible yourself. Find an OSS library / tool that does the thing you want, use Caffe/Theano/etc. instead of rolling your own code

This isn't a package replacement, it's a microservice in a Docker container. Replacing one package with three is nothing to be proud of. Replacing one with 13 plus wrapper code [1] is utterly ridiculous. I don't know the bac

They have the "best" and "worst" matches at the bottom of the page. I thought the "worst" set was pretty good, and I wonder if correcting for white balance would have given them a HUGE benefit. The majority of

I want this too. It's possible to make it happen, but it's not easy like basic protection. The protected branch behavior has two components to it. The primary protection is to prevent force-push to a branch, usually master. That o

It generally will stop them. The phrase that applies is something like "you don't have to outrun the cheetah, just another gazelle". It's not about eliminating the spammers, but about making it expensive enough - in CPU,

They may have avoided any mention for legal reasons. Pregnancy is one of the protected classes. If they talk about it and then don't give you funding, there are potential repercussions, just as if they discussed religion, race, etc.

Yeah - just Extract it from your MySQL / Mongo / Postgres / logfiles / whatever system it's in right now, Transform it into a CSV or whatever the input needs to be and Load it into BigQuery. Once it's there, yo

One directory per package is completely sensible, just not all in one bunch. It's even fine if the mapping is to a flat namespace at something like the HTTP level - I can mod_rewrite /abcdefg to /a/b/c/abcdefg

I keep coming back to point #4 - who ever thought that 16k objects in a single directory would be a good idea? Ever since FAT that's been a bad idea, and while modern FSes will handle it without completely melting down it's still

This feels very self-serving. There's no need for BSD to comment on their "longstanding relationship" with ZFS if they're only saying "we have it and it works within our framework" versus adding something const
