yes, node is available on several platforms.
(but docker is linux only for the time being :D)

actually, this whole silver bullet 'stack' approach is nonsense. back in the days of lamp there were far fewer options, there was also little expertise with 'modern' webapps and high availability, it could make sense branding something like 'lamp' and have it distributed to developers and almost preinstalled on private servers. those days are gone, today there are many tools you can combine in different ways to suit any kind of project.

interesting. care to elaborate?

isn't that true for any platform. and, do you really use stuff in production without knowing "exactly" what you are doing?

adding nodes to shard data seems like a straightforward scaling strategy. how does this not scale well? what problems are you having?

how are multi-host deployments exclusive to 'node stuff'? don't you need infrastructure and trained devs for any deployment? what are you comparing?

honestly, i find braindead hype as delusional as your reactionary attitude and insubstantial claims.

It's actually the old Microsoft logo. The new one is basically like the stained glass window, without the window frame.
And if you "want" the logos to obscure the text, you just have to narrow your window width to a size of 950 pixels or less :)

Have faith in Slashdoters ! ;)

I suspect that there are less of us around here on Saturdays and Sundays, and what you're seeing is concerted shilling by some conservative group outnumbering us.
Well, that's for the nonsense. I didn't see the racist posts, they're probably by ACs and probably have been modded down by now, as they ought to be.

Only method A1(*) proposes to redefine UTC. All other methods are keeping UTC just as it is.

To sum up the methods :
A1: No more leap seconds, UTC will drift from UT1.
A2: Come up with a new name for "UTC without leap seconds" as the broadcast universal time, UTC becomes legacy.
B: Keep UTC as it is, also broadcast a TAI-based reference time on an equal basis.
C1: Keep UTC as it is, also broadcast a delta between UTC and TAI.
C2: Same as C1, with more verbose recommendations.
D: Keep UTC as it is.

(*) With A2, UTC is not broadcasted anymore, so it has the same implications as A1, but mbone was going with the definition of UTC, so there's room for nitpicking :)

that's exactly what i mean, yes. the u.s., russia, israel, nato ... all of them are. people here seem to find this to be normal, even acceptable. they are actually worried about it not becoming public. like it's okay to kill and burn as long as you can't see it, and you keep the butchers out of harm. just ... wow!

it's easier than that: soldiers are not supposed to be carrying out covert operations in foreign countries the aren't officially at war with. just let them tweet, what's the problem?

what are you smoking? western implication in the orange revolution, the euromaidan and the current civil war has been constant, obvious, even public and is well documented.

gosh, sounds terrible. like being expelled from your sect or something ...

if i got this right, the unauthorized cross-app resource access is a design flaw in the way different apps are allowed to interact. the apps are already out there. there is no fix unless you are willing to fix all affected apps as well, or break them.

this is a very serious issue and apple's silence and inaction is truly astonishing. at least some mitigation patch would be in place, asking the user's permission whenever any such interactions are about to happen.

That's pretty much what's in the article. The summary is inflammatory (on Slashdot ? Who would have guessed ?).
The meat of the argument is this :

So : side effects of nuclear regulations, and lack of material.
By the way, weight was not a reason, RTG weighting about the same as solar panels (12kg).

The BND did the spying, and the NSA legally got from them everything they cared about. That's completely different :)

Not a specifically human trait. It's just that we're unable to hear and understand other species' own rationalizations, hence why we think we're the most intelligent.

i almost peed in my pants with "the whole system is backed by the security and reliability of microsoft cloud".

oh, well, it's just about a popularity contest for a sock puppet, i guess propietary closed software and hardware will do ...

isis and al qaeda? you're watching way too much television, son.

read tfa. this is about some complete morons' desire to make ciphered communication between users transparent to agencies, which is suicidal.

only if you can trust those developers to be available and loyal. for years. industry has a VERY hard time promoting loyalty, and panics at the sole idea of losing control. hence 'replaceable' professionals are the way to go.

it is also much easier to foster loyalty with a few key people who doesn't know jack shit about much anything (so they'll have a hard time finding an equivalent opportunity) than with a lot of developers who are in high demand in the industry.

don't get mad at me, you're totally right, but that's what it is. and I think it's not that much about cost but about the very nature of modern enterprise: externalize everything you possibly can.
