A modern OS is definitely a virtual machine, where each process perceives that it is running on a single CPU with its own single contiguous bank of memory. Threads are a bit of a l…

If you have 16GB, which is normal for high-end laptops these days, then you already can.

>If the profession ever wants to produce anything reliable in C++ This has already been done, so you are obviously wrong. Exceptions are cute for small amounts of code. But as soon…

Because that server was not that important?

The different examples are all pretty much just different ways of writing the same thing. And then another different way of writing the same thing is presented, with "db:" prepende…

Because it's more than that. It wasn't originally to speed up run time, but compile time. That history is wildly fascinating to me. We tend to take compile time for granted, unless…

But your contact book and location?

Definitely. I was going to say, was this not obvious when the app requests every permission related to your personal info?

If you ask the average 1st world human being "What are Macs good at?" They usually say something about ease of use and multimedia stuff. It's just what people think. Now, on my Mac…

Okay that's seriously metal.

Speaking of digitalocean, are you guys affiliated at all? Because I get a digitalocean vibe from your pricing/terminology/etc. for some reason.

My nexus 4 is still an excellent phone, but I want to buy the 5 anyway... Brain... brain stahp...

I'm tempted to say: "unless mongoDB gets a lot better, this is not going to be true." However, a minute fraction of the rails community is large sites, so it doesn't matter. I also…

They do, it's just a complex and involved process. I don't recall exactly but I believe it might also need an upfront investment as a music publisher or something? I too am lazy. D…

Again, I think one with deep understanding would know that leaving it unset would result in zero, but also know that initializing it declares intent of the original author, and is …

Arguably if people have such strong understanding of things they will be better programmers too. I would prefer the person who knew what they were doing, because they also know _wh…

Can you whine some more?

Riak.

Well also, a government has a responsibility to act in the best interests of its people. While shafting the banks with a gigantic legal dick would be kind of funny, it could hurt o…
