The article tries to wow us with the hugeness of the database, like this is a reason for the issues.

Yet the numbers quoted are not that big. Any modern PC isn't going to get too upset handling 75 million things. A real data center is going to sit there wondering what to do with the remaining 500TB of storage.

I don't doubt that there is some horrible flaw in the way the system was conceived that rendered it fragile, but whatever it is, it's nothing to do with the enormity of the problem, because it isn't very enormous.

It's hard to buy something when you don't know it exists.

Perhaps they should have tried advertising.

It's not the OS, it's the closed office file formats you insensitive dolt!

The AES-NI, PCLMULLQLQDQ and RdRand instructions take 15% longer on LLVM?

This. I'm waiting for someone to make it easy for me by providing a link to something that explains what corner-case of a corner-case is actually stimulating this bug to buzz its wings.

If he built gcc like git, each compiler would have it's own local language that other compilers could mix and match with the languages from other gccs.

They have excellent goals, mostly scientific in nature.

The moon shots were a dumbed down jock goal. Who's got the biggest rocket?

The problems in space science are almost completely different to the problems in education. In both cases, money could help if they spent it on the right things.

I'd be setting it up to keep a running backup of the data in the cloud, with the aforementioned 'keeping it ready' to serve from that data when the cloud gives way to sunshine.

I've used macs since 1984. Back then there were lots of users who called it the flower key.

Of course you can use ImageMagick if you want to manipulate pictures from the command line.

I can fix any current Mac OS. Just go into the apps folder (flower-shift-a is the shortcut), then into utilities, then run shell application. Enlarge the window to full screen. Bingo, you're in a bash shell where you can talk to a proper unixy command line interface.

Interesting.

I thought it sucked donkey balls. Maybe I lack natural talent at sticking bloody pixellated stickers on badly rendered cars rather than racing them in a game with hopeless physics.

Is there a worse racing game?

That's going to hurt Sony's bottom line.
