There are many options mentioned already and one I haven't seen so far is https://www.ssdnodes.com/ been using it for some time, fares well.

It hurts hard. I'm taking day off tomorrow for long overdue day out with my daughter.
I think humor sense is quite a good indicator and how well one's thoughts are articulated (when having conversation) is another.

Are you me? I literally have been through this recently, the first 80% went smooth, but when it comes to polish/css, it sure felt like taking forever to cross the line. Thanks for the cssreference link, looks like a gem.

Something similar happened recently with Subway in Singapore. They have stopped serving bacon to comes to terms with Halal certification in order to get more business from primarily Muslims.

Do you mind telling the issues you faced with ArangoDB? Coz we are evaluating few options currently and Arango is one of them.

You may take a look at https://blevesearch.com/ written in Go.
How do you pick those books?

Good run. Feature request: you are missing the pop up (awww sorry to go/before you go..) when you are about to close the tab.
Re:Flying a Cessna 172 for 65 days nonstop on Saturday October 06, 2018 @08:56PM (#18158275)
Apologies, I've a bad habit of skipping paragraphs in long articles. When I was at the bottom, I even searched for 'gas' (which showed me vegas) tried 'fuel' as well but I couldn't remember if it returned anything on Firefox, or did something wrong, was quite late into the night.

Awesome story, how did they manage the fuel?
Re:Introducing Haskell to a Company on Thursday October 04, 2018 @08:16PM (#18144717)
Thanks, I'm no longer with the project, but I'll mention it to the one who is taking care of it, but last I heard was they were looking to migrate to Java or integrate some of its functionalities to another system.
Re:Introducing Haskell to a Company on Wednesday October 03, 2018 @09:41AM (#18130056)
Please don't get me wrong, I've been in programming for more than 13 yrs, started with C++ and moved to Java later in my career and that Haskell code is of top notch quality, it does what it was written for very well and if I remember correctly, it never caused any prod incidents, its just that the devs didn't stick around, one of them went to Uni and others to greener pastures and we found it hard to extend/enhance with new functionalities that business was asking for.
Re:Introducing Haskell to a Company on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @08:37PM (#18126834)
Please don't do it, unless you know you are going to stay there (in the same project) for very long time and you know you can hire/retain and train new people in Haskell.

I work for a large MNC bank and in my prev stint with a different department, for whatever reason I had to inherit a not-so-trivial Haskell code-base which gave me really hard time. Although it was in BAU mode, maintenance was difficult and hiring was even more difficult, I couldn't even get help from other guys from different projects as they are all mostly Java guys, anyway I moved and I know the new manager is trying hard to convince his boses and business for getting fund to migrate it to Java.

Re:DuckDuckGo Traffic on Saturday September 29, 2018 @10:44AM (#18100621)
I too made a switch a week ago to Firefox + DDG, working well so far.
Re:DuckDuckGo Traffic on Saturday September 29, 2018 @10:43AM (#18100616)
It is slow, otherwise a great option.
Re:PostgreSQL 11: something for everyone on Sunday September 23, 2018 @12:30AM (#18049410)
https://dbeaver.io/ is something you may want to try, really good based on my experience.
Re:Postgres 11 – A First Look on Saturday September 22, 2018 @01:33AM (#18044644)
If data is central to your business, in all likelihood it will be, and you care.
Pretty sure PostgreSQL will have a place at the top quarter of this page.
Its slow and sluggish.
Re:Postgres data types you should consider using on Wednesday August 29, 2018 @07:54PM (#17873075)
Never heard of that, thanks.
Thanks, I couldn't notice it somehow.
Look nice, any chance to have a light them for the docs? It's really quite straining to read the docs in dark mode.
Install snap and off you go.
Agree, esp avoid /r/linux, they are not suitably representative of larger Linux community out there.
Re:Getting Started with Quantum Computing in Python on Sunday July 22, 2018 @11:24AM (#17587182)
Tangentially, noticed some good Python libs for Quantum computing have started appearing lately (one from google, Cirq for eg) could be a natural progression (from scientific computing). Good to see Python is making a presence there as well. Looks like it's going to stay relevant for a very long time.
she is clever indeed.
Why did you open the email when you knew its going to be a spoiler? :)
Just checking, as far as I understand, at the moment Postgres can't add statistics on the JSONB type. Did that affect your query optimizer by any chance? or noticed any degradation in performance?
