Amazing Tube for water or snow
By MountainHermit
from Idaho
About Me Intermediate
These tubes were AMAZING! We used them with our kids on Christmas Day when we had only about an inch of snow to play in and they were so slick even with little snow fall. They are lightweight enough for our 8 year old son to haul up the hills. They are durable, comfortable to sit in and hold onto as well as having a strap to help haul it. These are for water or snow. We used them for snow, will try out for water in summer but it is already a great family toy that will get much use!

Port Wine Port is a fortified wine that is made by adding brandy during fermentation. The addition of spirits kills the yeasts, which in turn halts the fermentation process.

Yakima's philosophy is that bare roofs are a waste of space. If you're going on a trip and you've got too much gear to fit inside your vehicle, or maybe you'd like to use the room for people instead of cargo, you can make use of that wasted space with a sturdy, large capacity cargo box. A cargo box is the carrier of choice if you want the utmost in security and protection for your gear. The RocketBox is Yakima's economical line of cargo boxes, but you get a lot of features for your dollar. Constructed from tough, durable ABS plastic with an attractive matte black finish, these cargo boxes are aerodynamically shaped for reduced wind noise and a quiet ride, and less drag for better fuel economy.
Available in 11, 12, and 14 cu. ft. capacities, each box features a dual-sided opening lid, for easy loading/unloading on either side of the vehicle. The box is lockable and comes with 2 keys, and with the Yakima SKS system every Yakima accessory can be cored to open with one key. For additional security, a button must be pushed to open the lid. The Quick-dial mounting hardware makes installation a snap on round, square, factory, and most aero crossbars. The mounts can be adjusted for position inside the box to accommodate different crossbars spreads, and also to position the box forward if necessary for hatch opening clearance. 4 Tie-down points are inside the box to assist with securing cargo (tie-downs sold separately).
The RocketBox Pro 11 is 89"L x 24"W x 15"H and weighs 45 lbs. Long and lean, it's perfect for snowboards and skis up to 82.6", or a weekend's worth of gear, and its narrow width leaves room on your rack for other accessories. The RocketBox Pro 12 is 58"L x 36"W x 15"H and weighs 35 lbs. Its shorter length makes it ideal for smaller cars, hatchbacks and CUVs, but it's still large enough to haul gear for up to 2 campers. Coming in at a spacious 74"L x 33"W x 15"H, and weighing 45 lbs., the RocketBox Pro 14 is the largest capacity RocketBox and perfect for CUVs, SUVs, trucks and wagons, and hauling gear for up to 3 campers.
Each RocketBox Pro Roof Cargo Box comes with 2 keys and detailed, illustrated installation/user instructions. The cargo box is backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
323.10 359.10Yakima® Products, of Beaverton, Oregon is one of the world's largest manufacturers of cargo and recreational equipment carrying solutions. Founded 40 years ago in its namesake city, Yakima's guiding principle is that gear should be carried on the outside of the vehicle to make room for more friends inside.

Yakima's designers and engineers are outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and travelers just like you, and they listen and learn what other enthusiasts need and want while participating in those activities. The combination of their own personal experience with that of other enthusiasts enables them to create the finest carriers and accessories for bicycles, watercraft, skis & snowboards, and cargo & camping.

Focus, if you can, frank. The topic is "Obama."
Obama wants higher taxes. He wants less freedom for people to make their own decisions, especially economically. He's a purveyor of the "image of the US in the world" tripe. He's for windfall profit taxes, which punish lawful profit. He's for sweeping gun bans. He's for socialized medicine. He's against us getting the oil under our feet and off our shores, ensuring higher gas prices. His proposals are what they are... old, tired liberal solutions. I'm sorry it's that way... but he's your liberal candidate.
And add to your list with scaling graphics... it is also rather bad form to alter someone's post in what looks like a direct quote. If you want to ask a question about "milk" then ask it, but don't portray your bullshit as being from my keyboard. Thanks.
Of course, you really should be ignoring me, remember... as you put it... "I'm just some guy hiding behind a screen name."
" His proposals are what they are... old, tired liberal solutions. I'm sorry it's that way... but he's your liberal candidate. "
Well Jubelum it's pretty much a given that the tired old Conservative solutions aren't working.
As a matter of fact they are pretty much responsible for where we are today.
Sorry if you're testy about this but " The times they are a changin ".
Sorry if you don't like it but that's just the way it is. When something ( Clearly ) doesn't work you try something new.

"Poor bed"
The hotel was out of the 1960's. Clean room and grounds but the bed was like the hotel from the 1960's. Very old and uncomfortable we could not both sleep on the bed.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"nice resort"
Had a wonderful time at Banana Bay. Clean, quiet, relaxing. Great getaway from Duval St, though you'll need a bike to enjoy the rest of the island. I was fortunate, had internet in my room, which made an great plus I wasn't expecting.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"When you want to stay on the Budget at Key West"
We were there for a day in the slower time of the year according to the locals. It was our first time in Florida and/or Florida Keys. Unlucky for us the weather was not best nether. I can only imagine how nice can it be at better times. Then you may justify 120+ /night. Considering all the facts I would not probably stay there again just for the economical […] reasons. I am cheap, and I would rather stay on the other Island and just come to visit Key West. It is too far to walk from the hotel location to all the attractions. If I have to take a car and park somewhere I can travel from the other Island instead and afford more days in Florida Keys rather then burn most of the budget on the lodging. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Reasonable Value"
Room looks like picture. Refrigerator and microwave are nice to have. A couple of maintenance issues, had to giggle toilet handle to stop running water, and even though room is on second floor the sliding glass door did not lock.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
The whole stay was disappointing. The suite was run down with broken taps, broken screens and broken blinds. The reception staff were unwelcoming and unhelpful.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Not worth any stars!!!!"
How does this property stay on the online recommendation list??? Our "deluxe suite" at over two hundred per night, was a run down, smelly old bungalow, with rusted kitchen fixtures, non-operating fan to augment the window-type air conditioner. Very small,outdated TV with non-operating remote. Termite damage to door thresholds. First attempt to move […] to another room was denied, until I followed another angry guest back to the office to insist on a change. The room was in disrepair, with holes in the wall, curtains that did not cover the patio door, creaky noisy beds, overhead fan of mismatched blades, stains on wall from previously killed bugs, (as I killed a mosquito on the wall) dirty, DIRTY! No redeeming factors at this "resort". Grumpy staff at breakfast, who were more interested in getting their own breakfast, snobby receptionist who refused, at first a different placement. We were STUCK, having prepaid for two nights. Key West was a dream that went bad. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Nice external facilities and good location"
Good overall. Rooms could use some renovation or major maintenance touch ups. Carpets should be replaced. External facilities are very nice and relaxing. Bed is comfortable and clean. OK for short stays. Very close to small shopping center and less than 2 miles away from all the action.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"not bad"
I am very satisfied since I know how much I paid in this expensive island. Faucet is leak and need repair. The smell in the room is no good. But I like the size of the room also the balcony. The breakfast was include and the dinning area is near the ocean. Love it so much,חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
The hotel does not at all look like pictured. The bed was so old our back ended up hurting after sleeping on it..חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
The hotel while having a lot of character, is a tired property in need of serious maintenance. The grounds are nice and the location on the water was worth staying at this location. Will consider staying here again, but hope maintenance is done before our return.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Charming older hotel"
It was a great hotel. It had a lot of character and charm. The staff was really friendly. The room was big and very romantic. It is an older hotel, but it had everything that you need. The pool area was really nice and they had chairs set up around the bay to relax. It was a little out of the way from what we did, but it was only $15 cab ride to ev […] erything. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Construction on Roosevelt made it a bit tough"
The hotel was decent, but it was clean, and the pool area was fantastic. The traffic on Roosevelt made it dfficult to get in and otu of hotel. The view from the back of the property was really nice. Parking was not a problem. Hotel should probably advertise that the pool area is clothing optional, though i did not have kids. All and all, i enjoyed my […] stay.

We liked but DIDNT love our stay here. A bit of false advertisement, it said complimentary wifi, however, when we checked in, the only wifi available was in the lobby. The road construction going on also made it difficult getting back to our room.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Pool, Spa, Beach, room very clean, private and quite. comfortable , nice continental breakfast . down side = Ceiling fan broken off blade , safe did not work , 1980's cable / road construction, very poor access , Tiki Bar with no bar. Only a Soda Machine! Nothing but one fast food hamburger place or BBQ & beer only within walking distance, (.25 mile).nothing […] else within (.50 mile) on a road with Heavy Traffic, room service skipped a day on our stay .

"Nice older hotel"
We loved the hotel, a little weary at the first drive up, but it turned out to be really nice. It is an older hotel and not terribly close to all the action (but hey its a tiny island). There was a lot of construction on the road right out front and the pictures online need to be updated badly. There is no tiki bar but it is a nice area to sit by the […] bay, quiet and does not face the roads at all! We loved the canopy bed and the room was very clean. Took a cab to Duval street and it was about $10. I highly recommend not driving a car in Key West, rent a bike, plenty of bike paths everywhere and right outside the hotel. Loved being in the clean pool and loved the adults only, very relaxing vacation! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Beautiful waterfront setting"
The Banana Bay Resort is a little known spot off of Roosevelt. Looking at the front of the establishment, you would never know the paradise that lies behind it. Staff was cordial and accommodating.

This has […] quickly became our favorite "go to." קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Lobster 2013"
We chose this motel due to it's location and the marina for the boat. The proximity of the room to the boat was critical. The room was dated but functional. The sofa bed was good to sit on, but the 4" mattress was not (the frame was all to close to my body for comfort).חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

we loved that there is no one under 16 allowed at this hotel. It was a quick taxi ride to Mallory square and duval st. The staff was nice and friendly.

"Loved this hotel"
Have been coming to the Keys yearly since 1999-we typically stay at a different place each time. We are planning on going to the is hotel from now on. The pool area is beautiful, tropical foliage. This is an older hotel and could benefit from an update but the atmosphere was so great that it made up for this. Pool was immaculate as was our room (not […] even one bug!) and the king bed sheets were CHANGED daily, not just made up. Continental breakfast fine, just basic waffles, bagels coffee (fruit was just apples). Staff was fine, out of site and mind just the way I like it! Pool was cleaned each morning. Great seating on the Bay. It is not a swimming beach from there but some people did snorkel directly from the hotel and saw some good sized fish. Best part is location (they currently have road construction on the main road in front of hotel so this could be pain if you are driving). If you are on bicycle (can rent from this hotel) you are in the middle of the island and can easily go either direction to either take the coastline around the island or head directly downtown. Also easy pedal to Stock Island to head to the the Hog Bar for best hogfish tacos ever. Plan of splitting my time next time between this hotel and their sister hotel in Marathan. Car rental kittycorner from hotel in Key West also. We actually walked to the airport pulling our luggage when we left. I would request an upstairs room overlooking the pool area-can see the Bay too. No kids under 16. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Romantic and quiet setting"
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Key West and stayed at the Banana Bay. We loved it from the moment we opened our room door and saw the beautiful room with the king size canopy bed and the view from our private balcony that faced the pool with its lush landscape and palm trees. Behind the pool is a nice private beach with secluded corners for lovers […] and a nice view. We were somewhat disappointed that the tiki bar by the pool was closed and that they had no hammocks on the private beach. Also no wifi in the room and had to lug my laptop to the lobby to get Internet. Otherwise the hotel was perfect. There was some topless swimming at the pool, as it bid an adults only resort and that was cool. I recommend this hotel for couples wishing to spend a romantic time.

This is about 1.2 miles from Duval street.. so thats a negative... hotel is good.. i will rate it 3.. its a resort and you have personal beach, swimming pool, sun bathing place, garden dining but i guess the facility is very old and needs a up lift.. front desk is not that co-operative.. Violet received us when we reached and she was only informative […] to what i asked.. very specific answers.. that kinda disappointed me.. Rooms are big and clean.. but again, looks old.. so kinda dull feeling.. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"nice place for the price."
Nice pool area. Nice staff. Rooms were clean, they just need a bit of a facelift. Bar never opened. Construction was a little inconvenient but that is not the hotels fault. It's a nice place to stay for the price compared to most right on Key West. Short bike ride to Duval Street and great beaches.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

This was a nice hotel with a cute little beach area, and a nice pool. It was close to the things we wanted to see but not within walking distance. The rooms were big, a little outdated, but overall comfortable.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
The room smelled very mildewy. We were looking forward to getting drinks at the tiki bar that is advertised on the website but that is gone, and according to the staff has been for a couple of years. There is no elevator so if you are on the second floor you have to drag your luggage up the stairs.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

--LEAD IN--

ONE OF THE SIX WOMEN WHO FOUND GEORGE ZIMMERMAN "NOT GUILTY" HAS DECIDED TO COME FORWARD TO EXPLAIN WHY THE JURY CAME TO ITS DECISION.

ANDREW SPENCER REPORTS THE WOMAN -- KNOWN ONLY AS JUROR B-37 -- SAYS COMING TO A VERDICT WAS NOT EASY.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--

"I want people to know that we put everything into everything to get this verdict...."

WHEN THE VERDICT WAS GIVEN TO THE BAILIFF, THIS JUROR SAYS EVERYONE STARTED TO CRY.

"It was just hard thinking somebody lost their life, and there's nothing else that could be done about it."

HER IDENTITY STILL A SECRET, JUROR B-37 TELLS C-N-N'S ANDERSON COOPER EXCLUSIVELY THAT AFTER CLOSING ARGUMENTS IN THE TRIAL OF GEORGE ZIMMERMAN THE JURY WAS INITIALLY SPLIT.

"We had three not-guiltys, one second-degree murder, and two manslaughters."

SHE WAS AMONG THE THREE WHO THOUGHT ZIMMERMAN WAS NOT GUILTY OF EITHER CHARGE.

"I think he's guilty of not using good judgment. When he was in the car and he called 911, he shouldn't have gotten out of that car."

WHEN HE CONFRONTED TRAYVON MARTIN, SHE SAYS THEIR ROLES CHANGED.

BASED ON EVIDENCE -- SUCH AS THE PLACEMENT OF ZIMMERMAN'S DROPPED FLASHLIGHTS AND KEYS AND WITNESS TESTIMONY DESCRIBING ONE MAN ON TOP OF THE OTHER -- JUROR B-37 SAYS SHE BELIEVES MARTIN THREW THE FIRST PUNCH AND THAT ZIMMERMAN TRULY FELT HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

WHEN ASKED IF SHE FELT SORRY FOR TRAYVON MARTIN, SHE SAID SHE FEELS SORRY FOR BOTH OF THEM.

"I think both were responsible for the situation they had gotten themselves into. I think both of them could have walked away. It just didn't happen."

JUROR B-37 SAYS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANY MORE INTERVIEWS AND SHE NEVER WANTS TO SERVE ON A JURY AGAIN.

I'M ANDREW SPENCER, REPORTING

JUROR B-37 SAID SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE CONSIDERING WRITING A BOOK TO TELL THEIR STORY ABOUT HER SERVING ON THE JURY WHILE HE -- A LAWYER -- WATCHED FROM THE OUTSIDE.

THEY HAVE SINCE DECIDED NOT TO DO SO.

"The race you can never win (unless you're one of "us")
You're the fastest runner in the world and you take your place at the starting line for the most important race of your life. You look up the track and see some obese guy in a suit standing five metres from the finishing tape. You complain to the race organiser but he tells you to mind your own business and concentrate on your own race. You think it must be some bizarre joke and it will all get sorted out later. The starting pistol sounds and you set off, running faster than you ever have in your life. But no matter how fast you run, no matter how good you are, you'll never beat the fat man, puffing, panting and waddling his way to the finishing line.
Fattie wins the gold medal, and receives the adulation of the crowd. Two attractive blondes throw themselves at him. Everyone tells him how brilliant he is. He says he owes it all to God and his loving family who bought him a place at the best of schools and paid a million dollars to allow him to start five metres from the finishing line. The crowd cheers and demands that the winner's parents be allowed to stand on the podium alongside their brilliant son. A reporter asks father, mother and son what they think of the second-placed athlete who broke the world record but still lost. They all shrug and say in unison, 'Well, he's not a member of our family, so who cares.' The crowd, full of like-minded families, rises to acclaim them. 'If only we could all be like them,' they sigh. The world-record holder goes back to his housing project and dead end job. His colleagues tell him he's a loser, and turn their backs on him.
Welcome to the anti-meritocratic world, this world. What are you going to do about it? Will you stand back and watch while cronyism, nepotism, the old school tie, the private club, the right university, the right accent, the right background, the right secret society, the right religion, the right family, destroy merit so that their chosen ones can prosper at your expense. It's time to smash the conspiracy. Break up all the mechanisms that allow privileged groups within society to rig the system in their favour and penalise anyone who doesn't belong to their insidious cliques.
The Meritocracy Party seeks to ensure that everyone, as far as possible, starts the race of life from the same starting line. Then we'll see who the fastest runners really are; who deserves the medals, who should justly receive the acclaim and the rewards. At the moment, who you know (nepotism and cronyism) is vastly more important than what you know (merit). How often do we hear the mantra, 'Networking is the fastest way up the ladder.' Meritocracy will push this toxic ladder over. From now on, demonstrable talent, not your social connections, will be the fastest way to make progress in life."

Because if it's at the OS/disk interface, what the heck is ACID doing in the database? It can't provide ANY guarantees, because it's too remote from the action.
And if it's at the db/OS interface, well as far as Pick is concerned, most transactions are near-enough atomic that the overhead isn't worth the cost (that was my comment about "90% of the time").
Your relational bias is clouding your thinking (although Pick might be clouding mine :-) But just because relational cannot do atomic transactions to disk doesn't mean Pick can't. As far as Pick is concerned, that transaction is atomic right up to the point that the OS code actually puts the data onto the disk. And if the OS screws that up, ACID isn't going to save you ...
Think of a "begin transaction" / "end transaction" pair. It's almost impossible for that transaction to truly be atomic in a relational database - you will invariably need to update multiple rows. In Pick, it's more than possible for that transaction to be truly atomic at the point where the db hands it over to the OS. ACID enforces atomicity between the OS and the db. Pick doesn't need it.
What guarantees does ACID provide over and above data consistency? Because a well-designed Pick app guarantees "if it's there it's consistent". And if the OS screws up and corrupts it, neither Pick nor ACID will save you.
Cheers, Wol
The entire noSQL family of servers is based on relaxing the reliability constraints of the classic ACID protections that SQL databases provided.
Posted Feb 9, 2012 0:54 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
ACID is a feature that SQL databases have had, but you don't need to abandon SQL to abandon ACID and you don't need to have SQL to have ACID
Berkeley DB is ACID, but not SQL, MySQL was SQL but not ACID with the default table types for many years.
ACID involves the database application doing a lot of stuff to provide the ACID guarantees to users by using the features of the OS and hardware. If the OS/hardware lies to the database application about when something is actually completed then the database cannot provide ACID guarantees.
It appears that you have an odd interpretation about what ACID means, so reviewing
A transaction is either completely implemented or not implemented at all. For changes to a single record this is relatively easy to do, but if a transaction involves changing multiple records (subtract $10 from account A and add $10 to account B) it's not as simple as atomically writing one record. Remember that even a single write() call in C is not guaranteed to be atomic (it's not even guaranteed to succeed fully, you may be able to write part of it and not other parts)
this says that at any point in time the database will be consistent, by whatever rules the database chooses to enforce. Berkeley DB has very trivial consistency checks, the records must all be complete. Many SQL databases have far more complex consistency requirements (foreign keys, triggers, etc)
This says that one transaction can affect another transaction happening at the same time
This says that once a transaction is reported to succeed then nothing, including a system crash at that instant (but excluding something writing over the file on disk) will cause the transaction to be lost
What you are describing about Pick makes me thing that it has very loose consistency and isolation requirements, but to get Atomicity and Durability the database needs to be very careful about how it writes changes.
It cannot overwrite an existing record (because the write may not complete), and it must issue appropriate system calls (fsync and similar) to the OS, and watch for the appropriate results, to know when the data has actually been written to disk and will not change.
It's getting this last part done that really differentiates similar database engines from each other. There are many approaches to doing this and they all have their performance trade-offs. If you are willing to risk your data by relaxing these requirements a database becomes trivial to implement and is faster by several orders of magnitude.
note how the only SQL concept that is involved here is the concept of a transaction in changing the data.
Posted Feb 9, 2012 20:22 UTC (Thu) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link]
Atomic: as I said, a relational transaction in relational will pretty much inevitably be split across multiple, often many, tables. In Pick, all dependant attributes (excluding foreign-key links) will be updated as a single transaction right down to the file-system layer. So, as an example, if I have separate FILEs for people and buildings, it's possible I'll corrupt "where someone lives" if I update the person and fail to create the building, but I won't have inconsistent person or building data.
Consistency: IF designed properly, a Pick database should be consistent within entities. All data associated with an individual "real world primary key". Relations between entities could get corrupted, but that *should* be solved with good programming practice - in my example above, "lives at" is an attribute of person, so you update building then person.
Isolation: I don't quite understand that, so I won't comment.
Durability: Well, when I tried to write a Pick engine, my first reaction to actually writing FILEs to disk was "copy on write seems pretty easy...". And there comes a point where you have to take the OS on trust.
So I think my premise still stands - a LOT of the requirement for ACID is actually *caused* by the rigorous separation demanded by relational between the application and the database. By allowing the application to know about (and work with) the underlying database structure you can get all the advantages of relational's rigorous analysis, all the advantages of a strong ACID setup, and all the advantages of noSQL's speed. But it depends on having decent programmers (cue my previous comment about Pick and C giving you all the rope you need ...)
And one of the reasons I wanted to write that Pick db engine was so I could put in - as *optional* components - loads of stuff that enforced relational constraints to try and reign in the less-competent programmers! I want a Modula-2 sort of Pick, that by default protects you from yourself, but where the protections can be turned off.
Posted Feb 9, 2012 20:36 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
consistency, what if part of your updates get to disk and other parts don't? what if the OS (or drive) re-orders your updates so that the write to the record for person happens before the write to building?
As far as durability goes, if you don't tell the OS to flush it's buffers (which is what fsync does), then in a crash you have no idea what may have made it to disk and what didn't.
Posted Feb 10, 2012 16:17 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link]
Well, if you define the transaction as an entity, then it gets written to its own FILE. If the system crashes then you get a discrepancy that will show up in an audit. It makes sense to define it as an entity - it has its own "primary key" ie "time X at teller Y". Okay, you'll argue that I have to run an integrity check after a crash (true) while you don't, but I can probably integrity-check the entire database in the time it takes you to scan one big table :-)
Consistency? Journalling a transaction? Easily done.
And yes, your point about flushing buffers is good, but that really should be the OS's problem, not the app (database) sitting on top. Yes I know, I used the word *should* ...
Look at it from an economic standpoint :-) If my database (on equivalent hardware) is ten times faster than yours, and I can run an integrity check after a crash without impinging on my users, and I can guarantee to repair my database in hours, which is the economic choice?
Marketing 101 - proudly announce your weaknesses as a strength. The chances of a crash occuring at the "wrong moment" and corrupting your database are much higher with SQL, because any given task will typically require between 10s and 100s more transactions between the db and OS than Pick. So SQL needs ACID. With Pick, the chances of a crash happening at the wrong moment and corrupting data are much, much lower. So expensive strong ACID actually has a prohibitive cost. Especially if you can get 90% of the benefits for 10% of the effort.
I'm not saying ACID isn't a good thing. It's just that the cost/benefit equation for Pick says strong ACID isn't worth it - because the benefits are just SO much less. (Like query optimisers. Pick doesn't have an optimiser because it's pretty much a dead cert the optimser will save less than it costs!)

besides, git tends to keep the most recent version of a file uncompressed, it's only when the files are combined into packs that things need to be reconstructed, and even there git only lets the chains get so long.

NoSQL systems work in a similar way - they can store the 'tip' of the data, so that they don't have to reapply all the patches all the time. However, the latest data view can be rebuilt if required.

and it's frequently faster to read a compressed file and uncompress it than it is to read the uncompressed equivalent (especially for highly compressible text like code or logs), I've done benchmarks on this within the last year or so
Posted Feb 12, 2012 13:38 UTC (Sun) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link]
Each month, when you run end-of-month statements, you save that info. When you upate an account you keep a running total.
If the system crashes you then do "set corruptaccout = true where last-month plus transactions-this-month does not equal running balance". At which point you can do a brute force integrity check on those accunts.
(If I've got a 3rd state of that flag, undefined, I can even bring my database back on line immediately I've run a "set corruptaccount to undefined" command!)
And in Pick, that query will FLY! If I've got a massive terabyte database that's crashed, it's quite likely going to take a couple of hours to reboot the OS (I just rebooted our server at work - 15-20 mins to come up including disk checks etc). What's another hour running an integrity check on the data? And I can bring my database back on line immediately that query (and others like it) have completed. Tough luck on the customer who's account has been locked ... but 99% of my customers can have normal service resume quickly.
Thing is, I now *know* after a crash that my data is safe, I'm not trusting the database company and the hardware. And if my system is so much faster than yours, once the system is back I can clear the backlog faster than you can. Plus, even if ACID saves your data, I've got so much less data in flight and at risk.
But this seems to be mirroring the other debate :-) the moan about "fsync and rename" was that fsync was guaranteeing (at major cost) far more than necessary. The programmer wanted consistency, but the only way he could get it was to use fsync, which charged a high price for durability. If I really need ACID I can use BEGIN/END TRANSACTION in Pick. But 99% of the time I don't need it, and can get 90% of its benefits with 10% of its cost, just by being careful about how I program. At the end of the day, Pick gives me moderate ACID pretty much by default. Why should I have to pay the (high) price for strong ACID when 90% of the time, it is of no benefit whatsoever? (And how many SQL programmers actually use BEGIN/END TRANSACTION, even when they should?)

PadMapper makes apartment hunting less awful, almost fun. It does this by plotting the apartments on a big map, and letting you filter for exactly what you want. There are also neat overlays to help you learn about the different areas.
My goal with PadMapper is to make apartment hunting into something people no longer dread. It shouldn't have to be harder than buying a car. You shouldn't have to deal with slimy people. You shouldn't have to make big Excel spreadsheets to keep track of what you've seen and what you think. Landlords should respond to your emails, and once you move in, you should be treated well. I'm going to help make it that way.
I was looking for a place with some friends in NYC in the summer of 2008, and it ended up taking us 6 months. This was our first time, so we got scammed more than once by brokers and shady landlords.
In between scams, I sifted through thousands of Craigslist listings, and it was getting to the point where I was losing hope. It was like wading through my spam folder trying to find real emails. I'd click and read each listing, only to find out that it was in a bad location, or it looked like a slum, or there was a toilet in the kitchen, or it was too "cozy" to fit a double bed.
So, I ended up writing what became the first version of PadMapper to do most of the sifting for me and generally make the hunt better. I've used it and the iPhone app in 3 apartment hunts since then, and it has found me a place quickly each time.
I hope it helps you and your friends find a great place to live. Good luck with your hunt!
If there's anything that confuses you, or you see any bugs, please email me at email@example.com. Feedback really helps - user feedback is the reason PadMapper is what it is today.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
The 27-year-old has had a torrid time of injuries over the last few years, enduring knee, ankle, finger and cheekbone problems since injury cut short his 2009 British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa.
But Ferris has pointed to O'Driscoll, who recently returned for Leinster, as the example to follow.
"You look at somebody like Brian, he has had a list of injuries that is longer than mine and every time he has come back better," Ferris told the Irish Independent.
"Against Edinburgh, when he came back he said to me he was a bit rusty, but they scored five tries in Murrayfield. You look up to somebody like that, you look at him coming back better and you want to do the same.
"The same guy operated on his ankle as did mine, if it's as good a job as he did on Brian's then hopefully I can come back early too."

Innovative app developed over the course of two years targets the 6 million travelers headed to Italy yearly
PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new iPhone app to help travellers and food lovers translate Italian foods and restaurant menus into English has been released today (October 3, 2013). Download at: http://tinyurl.com/translate-italian-food.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131003/PH91153-a)
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131003/PH91153-b)
The app, "Translate A Menu – Italy Food Dictionary," offers instant search of over 5000 Italian foods and dishes. A "reverse search" to translate a food from English into Italian is also a feature.
"Unlike other language translation apps or phrasebooks, this app tells you exactly what you are ordering from an Italian menu: the ingredients, how it is cooked and how to pronounce a dish," said Menu Translate's marketing manager, Roslyn Young.
"Travellers can now venture beyond tourist restaurants and confidently order dishes even where no English menu descriptions exist," she said. It's a tool that will be as indispensable as your map and guidebook, she added.
With the overseas traveller in mind, the app does not require Internet connection or account signup.
A unique feature of the app is its "notepad" to allow a list of foods to be created from search results, especially to help diners who often need to read a menu several times before ordering.
A photo and map location can be added to the notepad to create a food diary of the restaurant or food shopping experience. Notes can also be shared on social media or emailed. A comprehensive phrase list to cover all dining and shopping situations is included on the app.
The app is targeted at over 6 million tourists who visit Italy each year. A team of Italian writers spent almost two years compiling and translating the list of Italian dishes and food terms. The unique content and terms are not published anywhere else.
The app is currently for iPhone and will be available for iPad and Android in future. Spanish and French menu translation apps will be released by the end of this year.
The Italian Menu app is free to download and includes 15 free searches. An additional 15 searches can be purchased for USD$0.99c / GBP 0.69 or unlimited search for USD$8.99/ GBP 5.99.
For more information, see www.menutranslate.com
Summary Description:
Designed for travellers and food lovers, the "Translate a Menu: Italy Food Dictionary" lists over 5000 Italian foods and dishes translated into English. The iPhone app offers instant offline translation and no account signup. It features a unique "notepad" that allows a list of terms to be created from searches. Saved notes can be used to make ordering easier, or saved as a "diary" with a photo and map location. A list of 100 phrases for every dining and food shopping situation is included.

AL CY and Two Deals
AL CY Young – A Job Well Done
I'm completely shocked. I mean, out of my mind confused right now. How in the world did the Baseball Writers Association of America get it right? I mean, this is on par with Copernicus discovering that the center of the universe was the Sun and not the Earth. What do I speak of? Of course I'm referring to the BBWAA selection of the Mariners' Felix Hernandez as the AL Cy Young winner for 2010. I made my case for King Felix to be in the winner in Who is the AL Cy Young? Here is how I closed that piece.
"It will never happen, voters just won't be able to look past the low win total, but the best pitcher in the AL this season was King Felix."
I mean, no pitcher had ever won the the award with fewer than 15 wins – Tim Lincecum in 2010 – and his election last year caused many to pause because of the low win total.
Guess I was wrong.
King Felix won by a handy margin of 167 points to 111 for David Price and 102 for CC Sabathia (you can read the full results at the BBWAA website).
Congrats BBWAA – you did a wonderful job here.
A's Move Davis to Blue Jays
Athletics Receive: Daniel Farquhar and Trystan Magnuson
Blue Jays Receive: Rajai Davis
The two minor league arms would appear to have some potential, and you can read about them in A's Clear Outfield Crunch.
As for Davis, he is burner who owns one impressive set of wheels. Over the past two years he has stolen 91 bases, while being caught 23 times, and those 91 thefts place him fourth in baseball (Michael Bourn leads the way with 113, Carl Crawford has 109 and Juan Pierre has 98). However, Davis isn't much more than that. Despite 143 games and 525 at-bats last season he scored only 66 runs because he just can't get on base (.320 OBP in '10, just below his .330 career mark). He also sports little power with only 12 career homers. In essence, he is Juan Pierre Jr. He is plenty valuable in the fantasy game, and should continue to run wild with the Blue Jays, but he just isn't that great a real world player. Pay close attention to where he hits for the Blue Jays. If they stupidly allow him to hit at the top of the order he could score a bunch of runs in 2011, but his skill set is really better suited for the bottom third of the lineup.
Barmes Now an Astro
Astros Receive: Clint Barmes
Rockies Receive: Felipe Paulino
I'm not going to argue that the Astros needed to do something to bolster their middle infield, but the question I have is whether or not Barmes should have be looked at as the answer. He is versatile in that he played 69 games at second and 39 at shortstop last year (career: 333 games at short, 306 at second), but that bat of his is where I have major concerns.
(1) Here are Barmes' career numbers: .254/.300/.404. The NL average since he began his career in 2003 is .261/.331/.416 which makes Barmes a below big league average performer in his career.
(2) While that career slash line is awful, his work away from Coors Field in his career had been pathetic, dreadful, abysmal, rancid — choose whichever adjective you like to describe his .222/.266/.352 line in more than 1,160 at-bats on the road.
That brings us back to where we started, so let's ask the question again – did the Astros really improve their middle infield position?
As for Paulino, guy has a great arm and is just 27 years old. He has had some injury issues, and there are certainly concerns about how he will do in Colorado, but this seems like a big win for the Rockies. Paulino may have a sickly 6-21 record through three big league seasons, but he also sports a 8.08 K/9 mark that hints at his potential. I'm not saying I'm gonna draft Paulino in every league next season, but I will say when you can get a potential #3 starter for a middle infielder who isn't even a big league average hitter, you have done pretty well.

Snow covers most of the lower 48 states after a week of wicked weather, but forecasters warned on Friday that it's not over yet.
Freezing rain threatened parts of Texas, Missouri and Tennessee and a fresh snowstorm was expected to push into the Ohio Valley.
Residents of Oklahoma and Arkansas are "likely to see ice accumulate on top of snow and that could compromise power lines," said CNN meteorologist Bonnie Schneider. "Keep that in mind for those of you traveling on Interstate 40 specifically."
Snow covers 65% of the ground in the lower 48 states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. For comparison, last winter's top snow coverage for the lower 48 was nearly 48%.
"That was in February at the peak of winter and we're still in December," Schneider said.
The powerful winter storm that dumped all that snow has moved out over the Atlantic, but not before depositing from 10 to 17 inches of snow across parts of Maine, according to the National Weather Service.
Nationwide, storm-related incidents have been blamed for the deaths of 10 people, including two children in Arkansas and an 81-year-old Alabama man. He died Thursday of injuries suffered when a tree fell on his house in Georgiana.
Snowfall totals of a foot or more were common throughout the Northeast: 21 inches fell in Woodford, Vermont; 17.4 inches in Addison, New York; and 15 inches in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
The front was welcome news to snow enthusiasts in Vermont and northern New York.
"It will keep the ski resorts happy and they won't waste money making snow," said John Goff, lead forecaster of the National Weather Service office in Burlington.
The area hopes to return to a normal winter of about 80 inches of snow, up dramatically from the scant 37 to 38 inches it received last season, Goff said. "Usually you get one or two whoppers like this and it will get you caught up quickly."
Snowfall totals will be smaller Saturday, he predicted, with 2 to 4 inches in valleys and 3 to 6 inches in the mountains.
Caleb Clark, a CNN iReporter in Brattleboro in southern Vermont, called it a 'classic snowstorm.' "
"(It is) a nice and fluffy New England snow, not too dangerous and you could walk around without mittens," he said.
For travelers, major airports reported relatively few weather-related problems after a week that included thousands of flight delays and cancellations.
Friday's storm in the South was expected to move into the Northeast on Saturday.
Two to four inches of snow could fall from southern Illinois to New Jersey. New York City will see a couple inches of snow on Saturday. Areas of Connecticut to eastern Massachusetts could see higher snow amounts by Saturday night depending on the storm's track.
Here's the damage that the winter storm has wrought so far:
Traffic nightmares
On the roads on Thursday, the storm triggered multivehicle pileups and other traffic nightmares across the Midwest.
