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 end up going almost exclusively to Crashytics' website, then being redirected at login and have the "oh, right" moment.


SoureKit, which seems to drive a lot of the Xcode Swift features, is open source: https://github.com/apple/swift/tree/master/tools/SourceKit


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)


Apple deprecated AFP and switched to SMB2 by default in Mavericks/10.9 (https://www.apple.com/media/us/osx/2013/docs/OSX_Mavericks_C...). AFP was used only for Time Machines and connections to older Macs.

And it wasn't just anecdotally faster; I worked for a storage company specializing in Mac workflows and AFP was empirically several times faster, especially on 1GbE and 10GbE networks. This was in part due to Apple ditching Samba in Lion/10.7 (http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/23/inside_mac_os_x_10...) over GPL concerns and replaced it with their own shitty, incomplete implementation, which they didn't get up to Samba's standards until 10.10.

I remember this being excruciating since customers had to either buy a third-party SMB implementation like DAVE to get any value out of 10GbE connections, or hope that the applications they wanted to use over the network supported AFP.


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


therealmarv mentioned 1.7.3 (coming in the next few days): https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/5572


Not quite, according to that graphic the moon is nearly 10x further away than the GEO distance


I believe I've read in the past that its a play on "Ad-Hoc".

Yes, also disappointed its not about hockey.
