I'm curious why they didn't qualify the FS700 (considering they include the FS7) or any external recorders. Being able to record straight to a pair of SSD's in an Odyssey would see…

its confusing at second, third, fourth looks too. I use Fabric and Crashlytics pretty heavily and still end up here a few times a month without thinking.

SoureKit, which seems to drive a lot of the Xcode Swift features, is open source: https://github.com/apple/swift/tree/master/tools/SourceKit

I believe when they flipped the switch to default to SMB it was actually to SMB 3 in 10.10. Anecdotally, I'd always found AFP in the Tiger and Leopard days to be faster than whiche…

Taginfo[1] provides statistics on tags in use and there's a huge amount of documentation for tags (differences between tags, how to use them in certain situations, etc) in the wiki…

Interesting news, though I'm curious how many people were using just Cassandra without the additional text search and geospatial functionality provided by Elasticsearch. Would make…

From what I understand, they weren't really pushing to become an Apache project (Tinkerpop did, though). That said, I thought activity was pretty much dead also until I took a look…

therealmarv mentioned 1.7.3 (coming in the next few days): https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/5572

Not quite, according to that graphic the moon is nearly 10x further away than the GEO distance

I believe I've read in the past that its a play on "Ad-Hoc". Yes, also disappointed its not about hockey.

Did PGOpenCL ever get released in any form? I've seen that PDF over and over again, but never any product or code.

I like this strategy a lot. When you release something that, on day one, already has 'dated' graphics, you don't have to worry about keeping up with the latest graphics cards or po…

I honestly don't recall seeing much, if any, evangelism to the extremes of "hey you don't need a relational database anymore" as it relates to Cassandra. Talks I've seen have gener…

I read a bunch of your posts the other day when you linked in what IIRC was a thread asking about HN'ers working in non-tech. Really thoughtful and well-written stuff, thank you fo…

While not cheap, these likely weren't an extravagant expenditure (probably a few hundred thousand each). This seems like part of the noise of a company trying many different things…

Net Neutrality issues aside (even though they scare me), it bothers me that they'd produce this in English as only 16% of the population speaks English.[0] A tiny percentage of Zam…

Did that really happen? My iTunes library lived primarily on a Windows box until 2 years ago and the only weirdness I can think of was Apple breaking some of Microsoft's windowing …

Republic, Lost[0] is a really good read on this (even if it is by Lessig himself). He lays out how he would see the process working, I believe at the Presidential level. The basic …

Beyond carrying weapons or higher-that-prosumer-quality video equipment, they are not all that different. UAS go from the sized aircraft one would typically think of as "military d…

The problem was traditionally the link between the northbridge (which connects connects the CPU and RAM) and the southbridge (handles peripheral connections like SATA, PCI, PCI-E, …

Even within Beats own line there are the decidedly "lower" and "higher" end models. The interesting thing, to me, about this is that Beats (the headphone, not the streaming music s…

FWIW, Amazon recently added the ability to load balance across AZ's (Still round-robin though)

git-grep is indescribably awesome. To be fair though, I search github pretty frequently because it means I can search issues also. If issues were git repos themselves it would be a…
