March 7th, 2013, 10:39 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> I know, I thought that was pretty neat. I might even have to reboot my VPS just for the throughput increase. (…)
March 7th, 2013, 02:51 AM Actions…Arantor » And the angels had guitars even before they had wings, if you hold on to a chorus, you can get through the night...
March 5th, 2013, 08:40 PM Actions…Arantor » MonoDevelop is not my IDE of choice, but while I'm getting my head around C#, it'll do.
March 4th, 2013, 04:42 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> It's highly fashionable. (…)
March 2nd, 2013, 03:29 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> Because I'm using Unity and in Unity, C# is 20+ times faster than the equivalent JavaScript. (…)
March 2nd, 2013, 04:29 AM Actions…Arantor » I know I haven't broadened my horizons as much as perhaps I should over the years. But I picked an asinine language to learn, C#. (…)
March 1st, 2013, 08:30 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> There is only one more thing sucky than that, though... and that's the Zend Framework implementation of Lucene. It's dog-slow, prone to index corruption and consumes a ridiculous amount of memory for processing the index. (…)
March 1st, 2013, 08:21 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> Yeah, you still have to install ES yourself (and that's free), it's just the bridge that's paid, which is ridiculous. (…)
March 1st, 2013, 08:17 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> The advantage of ES over Sphinx is that it's schema-free, while Sphinx is not (but Sphinx uses way less resources)
March 1st, 2013, 08:15 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> Heh. Interesting to note that XenForo offers a bridge to an ElasticSearch instance - and ES is based in Java, running a JRE on the server >_< (…)
March 1st, 2013, 08:09 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> Eh, it's a JSON/REST API on top of Apache Lucene, it isn't that interesting. It's fairly comparable to Sphinx in that respect, if Sphinx had a REST API. (…)
February 28th, 2013, 11:11 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nightwish> No fair - I already admitted that DPP would have been better had the vocalist it was written for sung it!
February 28th, 2013, 08:17 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nightwish> But two pretty good albums ;) (I always liked DPP as well as Imaginaerum.) (…)
February 28th, 2013, 08:14 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nightwish> I dunno, I thought Annette was pretty good (it was written for her vocal range, while DPP wasn't so much, which is why it didn't sound right) But now she's parted company with the band. (…)
February 28th, 2013, 03:58 AM Actions…Arantor » @Asgard> Yeah, we don't need the quick search and a whole menu item just for searching.
February 28th, 2013, 03:26 AM Actions…Arantor » I think Nightwish's Imaginaerum is quite possibly one of the most bad-ass albums ever made. (…)
February 28th, 2013, 02:12 AM Actions…Arantor » @live627> Huh. Nao? NAO? WHERE'D U GIT TO? GIT FIXING DESE BUGS! :P (…)
February 28th, 2013, 01:50 AM Actions…Arantor » @live627> Flexblocky? (…)
February 27th, 2013, 03:08 PM Actions…Arantor » @Powerbob> I'm hoping to do it as a weekly thing.
