166,064 | null | null | My first smart phone was an HTC Radar running Windows 7 which was later upgraded to 7.5. My second windows phone is my current phone which is a Lumia 925. I immediately fell in love with this phone because of the camera quality (pictures and videos). My phone is going on three years and it still takes better pictures than most Android and Apple phones except maybe for the newest Apple and/or high end Android devices. I bought my wife a Lumia 520 when they became available and she immediately was able to use it -- now she owns a 640. I never owned an Android or an Apple device but most of my immediate family and close friends own one or the other giving me a chance to compare features. To this day I haven't found a reason to switch. I have tested my phone against high end Android devices and my phone is more responsive and the picture quality is always better to the point where I'm constantly being asked to share my pictures. If I can find a better phone for the same amount of money I spent for my phone ($150.00 refurbished) I will buy it. | null | newsreader | null | 1,436,368,662 | "2015-07-08T15:17:42Z" | comment | 9,852,081 | 9,851,622 | null | null | null |

166,093 | null | null | I used a Nokia 208 for about 8 months last year, coming from a Moto G, and leaving to a Nexus 6.<p>Battery life was the best part by far. My phone wouldn't need to touch a charger more than every other day. One feature that I was glad to not be without was tethering-- it has a 3g radio, and after some setup I got tethering working on my laptop.<p>The part that I didn't like was not having a GPS and Camera. I used a sansa clip for my music, but I don't have a standalone camera or GPS. I wonder if I would have enjoyed sticking with a dumb-phone if I had bought a Garmin eTrex and a DSLR instead of a Nexus.<p>That's something that I think we take for granted with our smartphones: They're really not that good at what we use them for. My sansa clip has 128gb of storage and plays my FLAC library flawlessly, gets days of battery life, and is convenient for exercising. A DSLR will knock the socks off my Nexus 6's camera. An eTrex has enough battery life and precision to make sure I never get lost, and can be loaded with OSM data-- no internet required.<p>I think generally speaking, you know when you're going to want to take a photo, or be navigated via gps, or listen to music. So why not take the route that allows you to experience those tasks at their best?<p>I can't speak much for the social effects of it.

166,120 | null | null | For those of us coming from non-Linux systems (and I'm speaking for illumos/SmartOS here), the effort required to debug the kernel displayed here is galling. That this is so difficult reflects Torvalds' historic disposition against kernel developers[1]:<p><pre><code> I don't like debuggers. Never have, probably never will. I use gdb all the
time, but I tend to use it not as a debugger, but as a disassembler on
steroids that you can program.
None of the arguments for a kernel debugger has touched me in the least.
And trust me, over the years I've heard quite a lot of them. In the end,
they tend to boil down to basically:
- it would be so much easier to do development, and we'd be able to add
new things faster.
And quite frankly, I don't care. I don't think kernel development should
be "easy". I do not condone single-stepping through code to find the bug.
I do not think that extra visibility into the system is necessarily a good
thing.
</code></pre>
To be fair, this was a long time ago (17 years ago!), but the experience relayed here leaves one believing that Torvalds' historic attitude has cast a long shadow.<p>And if it needs to be said, Torvalds' arguments are themselves deeply confused; he has conflated single-step in situ debugging (which does in fact suffer from limited utility in the context of an OS kernel) with debugging writ large. So as he rejected in situ debugging, he also implicitly rejected postmortem debugging and dynamic instrumentation -- both of which have proved absolutely essential for kernel development. (Indeed, it is likely that DTrace alone would have allowed the author to debug their problem, as its design center is exactly the kind of non-fatal failure described.)<p>The tutorial will certainly save others pain, but that such pain still exists at all in Linux is deeply unfortunate, and a vivid example of Linux not representing anything close to the state-of-the-art in systems development.<p>[1] <a href="https://lwn.net/2000/0914/a/lt-debugger.php3" rel="nofollow">https://lwn.net/2000/0914/a/lt-debugger.php3</a> | null | bcantrill | null | 1,513,619,975 | "2017-12-18T17:59:35Z" | comment | 15,953,644 | 15,952,751 | null | null | null |

166,143 | null | null | Regarding schematics: We actually developed a object validation library that's very similar to it. It's called cleancat. It comes with some MongoEngine-specific fields to validate references. It's best to look at the unit tests to see how it works: <a href="https://github.com/elasticsales/cleancat/blob/master/tests/__init__.py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/elasticsales/cleancat/blob/master/tests/_...</a><p>Regarding collections and embeddeded documents: Yes, a lot of times it makes sense to split things out into separate collections instead of embedding them so you don't run into problems later. One nice thing about MongoEngine and MongoMallard is that they update only fields that have changed. So if you have a ListField(EmbeddedDocumentField()) and change one of the embedded documents, only that document gets sent in the update statement, which speeds things up. And yes, I wish MongoDB had better ways to ensure data integrity. | null | thomas-st | null | 1,372,789,191 | "2013-07-02T18:19:51Z" | comment | 5,979,743 | 5,979,611 | null | null | null |

166,147 | null | null | Well, while pingdom is a similar type service, Statify (<a href="http://statifyme.com" rel="nofollow">http://statifyme.com</a>) will focus on just the simple task of notifying you when your site is down. The tools will be a lot easier to use, setup and manage your sites, there will be no fluff to get in the way. The pricing will be a lot simpler too, you'll get more for way less. As I get closer to launch I'll update the launch page to show more of the coming features. Thanks again. | null | garthhumphreys | null | 1,303,165,211 | "2011-04-18T22:20:11Z" | comment | 2,460,975 | 2,458,061 | null | null | null |

166,149 | null | null | An interesting list, but is this specific to Microservices, or just Service Oriented Architecture in general?<p>For me, other than the obvious size difference, the difference between microservices and "large" (?) services is that a single team breaks down their domain into sensible layers, abstractions etc. | null | alexchamberlain | null | 1,638,363,674 | "2021-12-01T13:01:14Z" | comment | 29,403,247 | 29,379,926 | null | null | null |

166,151 | null | null | I'm not really sure what you're getting at. I acknowledged efficacy in my comment.

166,152 | null | null | Didn't understand at all how a world without oil looks like. How is the title even connected to the article? The article talks about all these commodities, including electricity and co, not just oil. And there is nothing about how any world looks like it just describes how to analyse numbers differently. | null | erikb | null | 1,454,548,277 | "2016-02-04T01:11:17Z" | comment | 11,031,284 | 11,029,168 | null | null | null |
