Yes, but you could at least beat D2 on normal difficulty without resorting to that.

The comments on TFA make it sound like it's impossible to complete D3 without buying gear from the AH, which makes me a very sad panda.

But what happens if you are Palestinian like the people in these stories and as a politically aware Palestinian you become active in pro-Palestinian activism because you care about the rights and freedoms of your people? Those are the people that Israeli is targeting if you read these articles.
Sadly there's not a great lot of documentation about HDFS/Hive - we're learning a lot as we go with SnowPlow.

But I do agree with you - if the same queries keep coming up frequently, then it's worth putting some tech in place to save on ad hoc querying costs. But an RDBMS isn't a great fit for this - because the data is a) non-relational and b) immutable. Happily there's a whole class of database designed for this type of work - analytics databases such as Greenplum and Infobright (Infobright is a modded MySQL too).

In any case, if you have your event data stored in flat files, then as well as a "raw load" into your analytics database, you can also schedule regular map-reduce jobs to populate specific cubes into your analytics db. This is something we're working on for SnowPlow now as well.
replicating native file system functionality is not necessarily desirable from a ux perspective.

Exactly, that's why engineered wood products are so appealing. Where old style construction would require long, single timbers from 80+ year old trees, products like MDF, OSB and this thing can be done with much younger trees, which yield more net wood volume per acre of farmland per year.
It would be equally wrong to allow everyone to settle the West Bank but Jews.

The situation is difficult and the property laws effect everyone who tries to build without permission, which is almost everyone: The Jewish settlement of Ulpana is going to be demolished next month because it was built on illegally acquired land.

What was your experience with APC? You still use some opcode cache, right?
I replied to you above. Lets keep the discussion in one place.
The common wisdom at Burroughs when I worked there in the 80s was that back in the 60s and 70s, Burroughs often invented something, then 5 years later IBM would "invent" it, and then the industry press would start talking about what a good idea it was.

I still have next to my desk a small sign I salvaged from the computer room in the Burroughs Pasadena Development Center when it was being shut down, which reads "Each person having access to this room is cautioned not to discuss the machines or work done here with unauthorized employees or persons outside the company. Premature disclosure of new inventions might void our patent rights here or throughout the world." (signed by the then-president of Burroughs, R. W. Macdonald) I saved it because the irony amused me at the time.

"Having money means importantly being able to avoid things that make you unhappy."

I think this is the key point. Money by itself won't make you happy. But it can remove pain points that make you unhappy. The biggest example in my life is my parents healthcare. Currently they would like to be able to retire and move to where I live so we could spend more time together, but they can't afford to quit their jobs because they have had very bad health and they couldn't afford insurance on their own, and there is no way for a guy over 60 to move 8 hours and get a job paying close to what he makes in job he's been doing for 35 years. Starting over isn't really an option.

If I had a big exit this goes away and significantly and immediately improves my life in that I get to spend much more time with my family.

This is true if you are unfortunate enough to be operating in a large market with little or no name recognition. The shop I work for quietly sits back and waits for potential clients to contact us. Our client referrals are strong enough to keep our project pipeline running at full capacity year-round.
Finally some reason. Tried and true native methods are superior in just about every aspect except 'shininess' (the DOM-based styling of CSS) and simplicity for end-users that wish to not understand even the basic concepts behind the systems they use. There's no reason to build on the abstraction of a browser in order to build applications /except/ that it's ubiquitous/instant. This seems to attract developers that want to get users more than they want to develop truly excellent software.

Just about every other property of the web as a runtime makes a solid argument against its usability: stability (browsers are trying to implement a process model now because the JS/DOM sandbox/environment is not sufficiently robust to be depended on to not crash), standardization ("use webkit" or "use compatibility libraries in js" is a weak answer compared to real guarantees from fairly static and mature standards), efficiency (everything goes through at least: parsing, the DOM, javascript's broken (mostly-missing) typesystem, etc., all at runtime or application startup), and simplicity (more layers mean more complexity; we have various openGL standards and now also WebGL, implemented on top of one or more of them on each platform; javascript as a 'bytecode analogue' for slightly more usable languages such as coffeescript).

Throwing more code at problems has rarely resulted in an elegant and efficient solution, but that's the approach we're taking to try to get back the performance and featureset lost from running web apps in a JS/DOM container. We've wrapped enough fundamental OS features in JS libraries/DOM extensions/HTML features. It's time to end this nonsense and create a real standardized and generalized sandboxing model if that's what we want.

Ask HN: What's Your Favorite Statically-Typed Language for Web Development
Most popular server-side languages seem to be dynamic, duck typed (Ruby, Python). Which are great for writing short code, but difficult to maintain.

I have lots of experience with Java, but everyone seems to hate that language.

So what statically-typed languages do people recommend for web development?
As an app dev I think this is interesting. Now, it is really hard to advertise for something you make 70 cents on, but if you could at least break even there is value in getting your software to more people.

Targeting people directly on their phones means you are much closer to that impulse buy.

The issue is that there is a dual system of rights in place depending on whether you are Jewish or whether you are a Palestinian Arab and that is deeply wrong. I am not in favor of barring Jews from living in the West Bank (which seems to be the topic of your reply) but rather against different rights for different ethnic groups (which is what people mean when they bring up the spectre of Apartheid.)
Good edit :)

But yes that makes sense; my, maybe cynical, outlook is that most people will not actually do that work there. Most will do their stinking best to end up working on some (seemingly) insignificant stuff. I read some newsgroup post from a Windows (person on the actual MS Windows team, not someone who devs Windows apps) developer once who said something like 'I WISH I had programmed the clock in Windows, at least then I could show my parents I do something remotely interesting'. For Andrei and many others it is obvious, but for a lot more people it is completely weird why they do the things they do. And I love to read their stories.

I can rant on forever about a guy I met on a summer job at a supermarket distribution hub (yeah; in the 80s as a 15 year old programmer you couldn't get on freelancer and do something cool); he worked there for 20 years and he was very happy. Because of him, people could get their food every day and he felt valuable and lucky to have landed that job. It was a great example and I like hearing stories WHY people like their job, but not only from people we all know (and love or hate).
Sure we do! We have insanely good support groups! Ever been to a rib cook off? http://www.nuggetribcookoff.com/ Every year man. Every year.
True. But MDO and CDX can both be made from younger trees and although they are more expensive they are much more durable due to being layers of wood as opposed to glued fibers. LVLs are another good example.

Edit: For DIY projects never use MDF or OSB. These products are for production building and are very unforgiving for weekend projects. And dustier.
You're right, there can be something of a "small files" issue with HDFS. This is a good article for strategies to get round it: http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/02/the-small-files-problem...
You're being disingenous here. Human emissions are also a miniscule proportion of the Earth's total carbon cycle.

In the United States in 2008, CO2 emissions per capita were 17.5 tonnes. That equates to roughly 4.76 tonnes of carbon, which requires 9.53 tonnes of wood to capture (wood is about 50% carbon).

If the US could grow 9.53 tonnes of wood per capita per year, and sequester it, it would be carbon neutral. For comparison, US wheat production in 2008 was 218kg.

The US has 190 million acres of forests, which according to the EPA grow about 2 tonnes per year until they mature at ~200 tonnes (probably not linearly). This is only 1.22 tonnes per person per year, even if you devoted all the current US forests to the task. However, tree farming could likely grow a significantly higher tonnage of wood per year with the same land.

Using 9.53 tonnes of wood per year, if you've got access to it, is actually not that hard. A decent sized house can easily weigh 100-200 tonnes, and current home builds are trying to minimize weight (and thus cost).

It's not a silver bullet, but it would make a noticeable difference to the bottom line.

I haven't listed references here (I'm on my laptop and it's quite cumbersome), but I urge you to do back of the envelope calculations before you talk about this stuff. There's already way too much misinformation flying around.
It's madness that they have an "authenticator" that isn't supported in their later games. "World of Warcraft Dialer" would have been a more accurate, and descriptive, naming. For users that don't troll the forums, there is no reason to believe the dial-in doesn't work with D3.

C'est la vie, I guess.
Using PHP for a 30+M registered users website, I'm using a modified Code Igniter for the base framework, and specific Zend Framework's modules on some functionality where they provide good libraries.

As the parent said, ultimately cpu cycle on your web servers don't matter much, you will be limited by IO everywhere. Knowing how to properly use redis' data types and handle multi-level cache invalidation will be a much more valuable asset than using a framework you might not enjoy the most / be the most fluent with just because it's a wee bit faster.

Even in terms of actual php's calculation, your main strong point is figuring out what you can remove from the page processing and put in a daemon instead. "If the user wants to do action A, what is the minimal amount of things I can do to make him believe that it has been done", do that in your controllers, and put all the actual hard work in an event processing queue that doesn't have an user waiting for it to answer back.
Wow thats a TON of wishes and a complex task.

Hey, my name is Keith Adams, and I'm an engineer at Facebook.

I work on the HipHop virtual machine, a dynamic compiler and runtime for the PHP language. It is the hardest challenge I've tackled professionally, and the people I'm working with are brilliant and work like animals.*

I think the larger significance of our work on HipHop is in the context of software as a whole. PHP is one of those "developer productivity languages," like Python, JavaScript, LUA, etc. And, though I was skeptical before I came here, developers really are more productive in these languages. It would blow your mind what world-class people working in this medium can accomplish in compressed timeframes. This means that increasing these languages' performance is incredibly leveraged; to the extent we're successful at making PHP faster, we change the set of problems that PHP can address. Moving a problem from the "must be solved in C++" category to the "can be solved in PHP" category frees up our fellow developers to get more done with their finite professional lives.

*Edit: By "like animals", I mean, "with a survival-level sense of urgency." It doesn't necessarily mean long hours.

Hetzner doesn't use ECC ram modules. Might not be important if you use it for a memcached server, or it might be a disaster in other cases.
I don't know anybody who has difficulty with the file/folder metaphor.

Half the world has an IQ below 100. Computers need to help and serve them, too.

The threshold for comfortably managing hierarchical file systems is around 100 IQ. For doing it well is several points higher.

And eliminating access to the file system makes app developers get creative about inventing new ways to make things easier for users. A lot of data is relational and not compatible with the file metaphor. Some data is a net of objects (not as much as OO language designers seem to think). New ways to interact with those are valuable.

Of course, the flexibility of the file system has a lot of advantages. It invites a powerful and uniform set of tools that can make it even more flexible. That's why it continues to be useful. Nevertheless, other ideas, like relational data as a universal system service, are setting in to give it competition.
Actually in the USA we have 5x the prison rate of China.

Of course the official rates ignore people in "administrative detention" which is what China does to a lot of its political dissenters. But even if you add those back in, the USA has 4x the detention rate of China. (We are also ahead of every other country in the world.)

It would seem that if you're afraid of landing in prison, the USA is a much worse country to be in than China. Not slightly, much. (And a brief glance at the jail statistics will convince you that our justice system is not color-blind. For instance I've seen no data indicating that drug use rates are significantly different among whites and blacks. But incarceration rates for drugs are very, very different...)

It depends on the reason. I've known vegetarians who didn't eat meat because they were disgusted at the thought of consuming animal flesh. For them, fake animal flesh has about the same appeal as serving to a carnivore a beef product that has been formed to resemble a human forearm.
I strongly disagree, regarding the text editor. You'll make mistakes and want to fix them, want to copy things, etc, and this is much easier in a decent text editor. Learn to use vim or emacs or something of similar power before you get started programming - it's worthwhile. Running through vimtutor is not hard (I don't know of a similar thing for emacs, but it probably exists), and it can speed you up wherever else you're working with text, as well.

There is a good overview of evidence on salt in this series of articles: http://chriskresser.com/shaking-up-the-salt-myth-the-dangers...

Gary Taubes (author of this article) goes over the evidence on salt restriction in more detail in Good Calorires, Bad Calories, but it is missing some recent studies indicating negative outcomes for salt restriction. I believe Taubes is often wrong (as most people are) when proposing his hypotheses. But he is very good at tearing down wrong hyptoheses.
Vim is very keyboard centric though which will be extremely frustrating at first to people who are used to using the mouse to interact with the interface and the keyboard for just typing text.

With a normal text editor , copying and pasting is not especially difficult, especially with the small codebases that beginners will be working on.
Yes, not sure, yes, yes, sure, i'm not sure if that's through. Yes it's a serious question. I find it interesting to hear why people get so excited by this. I'm saying that I wouldn't (not in this life), but I like to hear why others would. Nothing wrong with that right? You answered my question somewhat, although I believe that you might not land like that; Facebook is not big, but a new person in a crew of 3500 doesn't sound like you're going to get those large responsibilities or those enormous resources or that large salary. And yes, successful or not i'll leave to the trolls.
I'm not sure why I'd want to use a service to video chat with my existing facebook friends. Those are presumably people I already have connections with, and can use existing tools to chat with, or see in person. Maybe there's some use for friends-of-friends for dating, but meh.
It's one place that accepts non-native engineers (I live in Japan), and it's very well-known/prestigious, so I could have a job at other places much more easily after working there.

Personally I'm not hugely excited about it but it can be a good way to start a career.

How I avoid this problem (and enjoy D3, very much):

1. Play hardcore. This instantly transforms the entire point of the game from "get the best gear" to "stay alive", though of course awesome gear is still fun because it helps you stay alive, and squish monsters faster.

2. Don't use the Auction House. Sure, this means I won't be competitive (level for level) with players who do, and I probably won't ever be able to play Inferno, but I play mostly single player or with friends who use similar rules.

A lot of people do seem to love the gear grind of D2, and that's fine for them, but I'd much rather play it in the vein of a classic roguelike.

In my experience the built-in partitioning support of MySQL (using PARTITION BY RANGE for example) is very good.

Inserts no longer drag due to huge indexes, delete's are instant (drop a partition of stale data), and SELECT's can limit their lookups to specific underlying files.

This is for a 500m row table of time series data.
You can split hairs all you like, Dan, but you're still missing the point: scalability is only an issue for a fraction of the entrepreneurs/engineers who worry about it.
