Judging by MySQL Aurora (which is still on MySQL 5.6, when 5.7 released 2 years ago) it will be a while.

Any ETA on making PostreSQL Aurora a HIPAA eligible service? We are currently using MySQL Aurora and would like to switch to PostreSQL, but we are storing ePHI, so we can't switch.…

They are different in degree and method, but fundamentally they are the same thing. In the end they are both humans causing the genes of a good crop to change over time. Direct gen…

What do you mean? The arabic number system that most of the world uses is base 10. Also, I don't see why the base of the number system would make math any easier or harder.

RSS was dead for non-techies before this too, which is why the audience for Google Reader was so small: it was only techies. Non-techies have simply been using Facebook and Twitter…

The Earth is not an intelligent agent. The Earth doesn't "know" anything. Also, plenty of plants have evolved to be poisonous to prevent animals (including humans) from eating them…

PHP has nothing to do with the browser (i.e. the "platform you download software into"). If you don't like programming in PHP, then pick a different server side language instead. E…

A very expensive and inconvenient placebo.

Zero, because people who want to buy from Amazon will just try again in a few minutes/hours when it is back up.

The big problem with Microsoft's spec is that it doesn't specify a protocol, so it is impossible for other browsers to implement the standard. The spec only says that RTP will be u…

RPS also only covers games that run on Microsoft Windows (and the occasional board game).

Recycling cork seems crazy. Why not just compost it?

That's awfully dogmatic of you. Why can't people have different goals for meditating? Speaking of running... same thing... people can run for different reasons. Certainly long dist…

It's harder than it sounds. Your subconscious will continually try to interrupt your mindfulness of the dish washing. The main trick of meditation is to be able to gently push thos…

You are making some pretty big jumps in logic there... he's not saying you have to "think like Linus" to get Git, he's just saying it is different enough from traditional SCMs that…

I have a friend who works for ITA/Google today, and he tells me they are still using Lisp and their Lisp codebase is huge and complicated and not likely to ever be ported to anothe…

Also, when traveling at the speed of light the entire universe would appear to have collapsed down to a single point, because of length contraction. So really, the notion of moveme…

I was running it under JRE6... switching to JRE7 got past the error and it is working fine now.

Yes. I get the same result with or without the "prod" argument.

I haven't been able to get it working on Windows 7. After much hoop jumping I've gotten stuck on this error while trying to run the jar: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Illega…

Who are you talking about? The linked site is down, so I can't even tell who this is about. Assuming the user's name is the same as the domain name (jcs), then that user hasn't pos…
