Because the original poster shouldn't need more than one server to deal with 1 ticket a minute. (1500 tickets a day) you should be able to grow that by 1000% and still not break a sweat. In fact it should be able to cope with 1 a second.

In reality most people are never going to deal with that level of scale.
>Edit: FWIW it doesn't test Microsoft SQL Server. Still, for most simple-ish web applications I can't imagine MSSQL server being significantly faster than Postgres or MySQL. Its selling point is really its feature set as opposed to its performance anyway.

More than just that, they tested mono, which sadly is often very slow, and didn't test on IIS.
Perhaps that's what their plan is with the so-called "Obama-phones".
Washington, DC - Opower. Javascript/Node.js Engineer [LOCAL]

@mtgx: Yes, it does show multiple keywords. re google sign-on: it should be available soon.
SQL databases in general don't scale well once they've maxed out a single machine, cross server joins are never going to be pretty and there's a pretty good reason why denormalising data and the adoption of NoSQL solutions with baked in clustering is taking off in a big way.

Re NoSQL solutions on windows, theoretically possible, sure, but which NoSQL solution targets windows as its primary platform rather than an afterthought? If you file a bug report, will they notice or care?
I moved there from SF in 2005. I had a job for a while until that company went under. I moved back to SF in 2010 because I could not find another job in Austin. Things have been great since then. Most people are nice but, others are not so friendly to people from CA. Most places I spoke to were a few years behind in tech.

I've worked in IT for more than 15 years. More often than not, Microsoft's enterprise products do "just work." In fact, due do volume pricing (making server 2008/2012 licenses very cheap), around here I recommend Server 2012 w/ standalone LDAP role when people need an LDAP server. Why? Because it just works.

An a related note, I, too, am in the process of building a new video management system based on windows (why anyone would want to sit and stare at solar PV panels all day is beyond me). Install and set up has been a breeze.

Don't get me wrong, I'm more likely to use linux for things. Most of my development is done on linux, our video wall display management, AMI emulation platform, any many other tools and utilities, but MS does have its place, and where it fits, it usually beats everything else in set up configuration and management.
Yes, that was all down to Reagan. Nothing to do with the evil communist dictatorship on your doorstep.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any docs to learn Go. Can anyone point me in the direction of an equally good tutorial for Go?
I would not call a retail app "high value." Alternatively, I would not call retail sales of the software itself a good way of supporting high-value apps.

I have two kinds of clients: Ones with hardware as part of the product, where Android is an embedded component and the software is specialized to work with the hardware; and ones with business models that do not depend on the end user paying a one-time retail price.

Let me give you a piece of advice - ask you users to leave good reviews, and ignore the haters. You will sleep well, and your overall score will go up.

I had on e goofed up my app and got a rash of about 40 bad reviews. I fixed the problem and added feature that asks users to rate my app. In a couple of months, the problem was dead and buried.
Would this be a good fit for something like video processing? Could you use the GPIO pins to actually have a video input, and then send it out via HDMI?
Well, I won't be bidding, but I'd pay a sensible amount for a good print of that photo!
I hardly think they've said that foreigners don't have any rights.

The leader of the US does have an impact on the world at large, that's true. However his priority is the USA. Just as the priority for Merkel is Germany, UK of Cameron etc etc.
Remembering the username can be pretty useful, especially if you find yourself in a place where you common usernames are taken on other sites and you have to use different usernames in different places.
Eden PHP Library - a swiss army knife for PHP apps.
Speaking of Lynx, I've run across pages that simply tell the user to "Please use a modern browser that supports Javascript." I expect the experience to be the different in a text-only browser, but what I don't expect is not to be offered an experience at all.
So, you don't see any valid uses for a loading animation?

AFAIK the re-authentication thing has nothing to do with expiring sessions. The whole point is to ask users to re-authenticate even though their sessions are still alive and well. Enter your password again to change your privacy settings, etc.
I have two ISPs at home. What happens when the next day my router decides to use the other IP address?
Why do girls need dolls? Why are there any marketing differences between men and women in general? Are we really so blind as to call this the result of gender stereotyping?

Men and women are different in far more ways than the genitalia. We have spend decades trying to convince ourselves that male and female roles are fabricated by society and have no basis in biology. And we have failed, because ideology does not change biology.

Have we really made so little progress that we still cannot celebrate men and women for their differences and their unique contributions, and strengths? In other words, do men have to cease being men and women have to cease being women in order to consider themselves "equal"? Gender equality is becoming its own form of oppression. No, not equality itself (for men and women have the same human rights), but the wrong-headed attempts to suppress and eradicate the distinctions between genders.

If you heard about it, you can bet he was. Nevertheless, power and abuses go hand-in-hand. I don't know what it is about human nature that causes us to give those in power the benefit of the doubt. Hell, in America at least, people knew 250 years ago that power begot abuse, and wrote "release valves" into the constitution to prevent that abuse from becoming overwhelming. I wonder why they didn't think people would become overly apathetic in the meantime.

Does the EU actually have laws against collecting this data without opt-in for marketing?

On a related note: it would be really interesting to see privacy laws visualized around the world.
I just wish the browser would inform the server whether JS was enabled or disabled. That would make a host of things easier and providing a good experience more automatic.
I actually like that he _tells_ you why paying for CoderPad is a smart investment, rather than trying to _sell me_ that it's a good investment.

It seems like he's just stating a fact.
> Git not so great.

Um,what? Please try out latest msysgit and tell me what's not great about it.
The justification is that you are on soil that was staked out and is defended by those other people. You're welcome to leave, but you're not welcome to stay without abiding by the rules of the group.

You are advocating a particular definition of ownership: ownership that gives you the right to occupy soil independent of any compact with some other group of people.

Where there's muck there's brass. We're a London based startup in the engineering supplies or Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) industry - glamourous isn't it?

Truth is, this is a billion pound market with a huge opportunity to be disruptive and take market share from slow moving incumbents.

Why work with us? In the equally glamourous Vauxhall area of London we're building a community and a company for the ages and we're hiring!

What you should be confident with:
C# and ASP.NET
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML
Visual Studio
SQL Server 2008 R2 - including database creation, design, alteration, stored procedures, triggers, index optimisation, bulk import and export
Ideally:
JQuery, AJAX, JSON, XSLT, XQuery, MVC, cXML, HTTPS

Competitive salary and more
I am less than keen on the idea of a loosely-fastened sheet of glass sitting in front of my face. In an accident, that can't be very safe.
Thanks for sharing! Ill take a look later today to tease out interesting ideas

Yeah, C with some nice clang error messages is a much simpler language than c++.

I actually gave a talk last month about how to hook into the GHC rts using c or c-- (c-- is kinda like llvm IR with c syntax). Which reminds me, I need to catchup with the gsoc student I'm mentoring, he's writing a semiautomatic c++ ffi wrapper for Haskell. I should go do that.

Hey kids! Look at the symbols over the numbers on the top row of the keyboard in the picture. Now compare them to the symbols on the top row of your keyboard. Now compare them both to ASCII symbols 0x20-0x2a.

I grew up on a keyboard like this one. Not on an actual Apple-I, though. :(
I don't see this. Web is filled with advertising, new laptops are filled with crapware. Labeling didn't do nothing to stop these things. What we get from lawers on the web are idiotic terms and conditions, "I agree" buttons under the wall of text, copyright craziness with idiotic cease and desist, persecution of people publishing secrets or just snooping around. I think if lawyers kept there noses out of the web it would be much safer place.
Dart is not JavaScript by far. It has very different semantics in its core, unlike TypeScript or CoffeeScript.

Without coming across rude (I'm genuinely interested). Do people actually develop/design sites for text-only browsers?
I thought that stopped happening over a decade ago.
A true firewall and a NAT-as-firewall are sort of duals of one another. A true firewall sits on a path that would normally let packets pass, and it stops them. A NAT-as-firewall sits on a path that would normally not let packets pass (because the private side is some unroutable, private, 10.* network), and it helps them through.

As an admin, NAT-as-firewall feels reassuring, because it seems less likely to fail in a dangerous direction. If i screw up my iptables configuration, i might drop my firewall, but i am very unlikely to create a new NATted path into my private network.
The comparison to Wilson is more apropos than you think. Wilson was not a good guy. He was a raging racist and thought Fascism--as it was then growing in pre-WWII Europe and before the genocide issue was impossible to ignore--to be the ideal course for America. And he was quite fond of locking up political opponents without charges: The Espionage Act was used to shutdown newspapers and lock up citizens critical of the war effort. Yes, I would absolutely compare Obama and Wilson, but not in terms of "goodwill".
"And his campaign promises made him seem like a perfect american leader to transition from pax americana to a post US led world"

Unless you actually read his proposed policy documents, which made it pretty clear that he had no clue what he was talking about.
Technology doesn't matter in a tech startup - Why CollectedIt uses the MS stack
In the weirder corners of superherodom there are people like Arm Fall Off Boy, who can detach his arms and use them as clubs. But my favorite among the weirder superheroes is Dogwelder, who fights crime by welding dead dogs to criminals. From what I've heard he was created by Steve Dillon when Garth Ennis dared him to invent a superhero name dumber than "Green Lantern".
Pair of PC viruses help each other survive
I agree. I can imagine certain scenarios where they'd be necessary though.
The chart seems to vacillate from most important power to signature power depending upon the hero.

eg. Captain America is under "Super Strength" when his signature ability is "Discs Throwing Mastery" of his shield while Wolverine is under his signature ability "Claws" while his most important ability is "Super Healing".

Still a glorious chart.
