I'm curious why they didn't qualify the FS700 (considering they include the FS7) or any external recorders. Being able to record straight to a pair of SSD's in an Odyssey would seem preferable to dealing with Sony's bolt-on recorder + proprietary cards.
its confusing at second, third, fourth looks too. I use Fabric and Crashlytics pretty heavily and still end up here a few times a month without thinking.
I believe when they flipped the switch to default to SMB it was actually to SMB 3 in 10.10.
Anecdotally, I'd always found AFP in the Tiger and Leopard days to be faster than whichever version of SMB support was included at the time. Now I use the default SMB3 and it seems that 802.11ac and gigabit are bottlenecks (of course its 10 years later in the times of SSD's as well)
Taginfo[1] provides statistics on tags in use and there's a huge amount of documentation for tags (differences between tags, how to use them in certain situations, etc) in the wiki.
As an example, the page for highway tags[2] is quite rich.
Interesting news, though I'm curious how many people were using just Cassandra without the additional text search and geospatial functionality provided by Elasticsearch. Would make sense if Amazon was looking into a plugin for CloudSearch as well.
From what I understand, they weren't really pushing to become an Apache project (Tinkerpop did, though). That said, I thought activity was pretty much dead also until I took a look at the 0.9 branch: https://github.com/thinkaurelius/titan/tree/titan09
When you release something that, on day one, already has 'dated' graphics, you don't have to worry about keeping up with the latest graphics cards or poly-counts or anything of the sort. Its just about the game. Like Legos there are countless others, The Game of Life (Milton Bradley, not Conway) has been around since the 1800's. The beauty of this is that you've never completely saturated since kids are coming of age every day and growing into the game.
I honestly don't recall seeing much, if any, evangelism to the extremes of "hey you don't need a relational database anymore" as it relates to Cassandra. Talks I've seen have generally focused on using it as a tool to fit a specific niche/do something that the existing RDBMS wasn't optimal for.
While not cheap, these likely weren't an extravagant expenditure (probably a few hundred thousand each).
This seems like part of the noise of a company trying many different things and cutting their losses when it makes sense. The only real difference is that we don't see many of these other projects because they can fit in a building
Net Neutrality issues aside (even though they scare me), it bothers me that they'd produce this in English as only 16% of the population speaks English.[0] A tiny percentage of Zambians claim English as their first language, what about the rest of the people who either don't have access to schools (where English is taught[1]) or don't have the level of comprehension required to navigate.
I would venture a guess that by filtering the numbers of English speakers by those who own mobile phones you'd jack up the percentage of English speakers, still.. this feels like it was designed more as a play to drive new users to sites than to genuinely get good information into the hands of those who need it.
Of course, I can't actually find the app anywhere, so if it were to come out that the app actually includes Bemba or Nyanja localizations.. I'd be taking a different tone. (FWIW, Facebook doesn't appear to support either [2])
