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.

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)

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

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.

Did PGOpenCL ever get released in any form? I've seen that PDF over and over again, but never any product or code.

I like this strategy a lot.
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.
