Do we need to? No. Does every large and most small organizations I know do it anyway? Absolutely.

This x1000. If you think Optional, Streams, and lambdas make Java close to Scala, you really don't know what you are missing. Some other big and small things off the top of my head…

NFSv3 is very dead. I like Kerberos a good bit and I think the complexity of running an LDAP/Kerberos infrastructure is greatly over estimated, but it is disappointing that none of…

With a house like that, you're probably doing a fair bit of entertaining. You're going to be glad you have those extra bathrooms when you have 60 party guests.

This is one my favorite features of the language and I believe to be fairly unique. It can make for some slick and safe state machine like code. I do wish that we had reliable RVO …

Dell has been selling current generation AMD since at least mid last year. We have a few R6415 and R7415s at work.

Thanks for the spam!

No, ZoL bypasses the usual page cache.

Do cloud providers commonly float cores between VMs? I could see instances like the AWS T family (burstable) sharing, but I had always assumed that most instance types don't over-p…

I haven't seen anything indicating that the operation or repair process requires some sort of online authorization.

It will break down on its own over a decade or so. Burning it off likely isn't feasible because its dissipating off the permafrost over huge areas.

Windows and Dell's SupportAssist crapware.

Maybe they'll start mandating a half-decent device security update policy in the name of security. I've had a few too many two year old devices stop getting updates.

Look at the numbers for MySQL without the thread-pooling and that will probably be close enough.

While those primitives you mention make it possible to get a correct result, they require consistent and correct use from the programmers. While some of us may do this perfectly mo…

Where do you see $15/mo for Mint? I see that as an intro price which then goes to $23 after the first 3 months.

This is a common misunderstanding and I feel GM hasn't helped matters much. The engine in the Gen2 is connected to the transmission and does provide mechanical force to turn the wh…

Their prices on the big items have never been too bad, its the accessories where they get you. $25 for a store brand 6' USB 2.0 cable is absurd.

Interesting. I took a look and this is the only hypervisor specific piece of code I can find in the patches. I have wondered what the impact would be on hypervisors. Xen seems like…

The larger problem on cross-platform KeePass was never Mono directly (aside from the FUD), but rather the WinForms UI. One could blame Mono for not having a visually pleasing imple…

What's your power consumption like on this set up?

Funny, window switching is my favorite feature of Gnome 3. I use alt-tab to change application, alt-` to change windows of the application. Quite easy to navigate IMO. It never occ…
