How hard is it to write a JVM? I'd think it pretty easy, as it's intended to be small and easily portable. You could even write one in Java (and I'm sure it's been done, many times). EDIT e.g. http://igormaz

Yes, coming up with the problem is often the hard bit. But it happens the other way too, in that many young inventors tackle problems because "they didn't realize they were 'impossible'". More knowledgeable folk ca

The significant thing about XML is not that it's any good, but that everyone switched to it. I predicted this meant XML would win forever... but JSON does seem to be catching up.

Our values do come from evolutionary fitness. It's just that cooperation, exchange, and division of labour benefit all of us better than some zero-sum game. If this were not the case, savagery would rule the world, instead of global tr

He didn't say implementing those functions in the same code, but using the "same language". To me, PHP's use in templates is pretty much its core idea. I think it's a good idea, and basically defines what a ruby&#x

FWIW, Notch hasn't open sourced Minecraft. Id did open source some games, but only well after the main burst of sales had dried up. Counterpoint: reddit and HN are open sourced (are they games? they have points...) Just some data poin

You could be right, but have a read of the review I linked above, search for the text I quoted, and read around that. To me, it's compelling that the iPhone 5S's GPU is severely underclocked, leaving headroom for reuse in the iPad

True, but I don't follow how that's connected to my comment... maybe I should explain the background of my comment. The iPhone 5S (A7) has x1 the graphics power as the iPad 4. The iPad 5 (A7) has x2 the graphics power of

Agreed. Also lighter (0.7 pounds http://www.apple.com/au/ipad/compare/ ). It does mess up their line-up to push the mini two generations ahead. Maybe sales were lagging? Maybe they really wanted to standardiz

How can the iPad 5 have x2 the graphics power over the iPad 4, when the iPad 5 has the same A7 as the iPhone 5S - rather than an A7X, as they've done previously. Have they just stopped using the A7X style name? Have they just x2 the GP

Nope, this time they're streaming the actual event (Apple's providing it, they can just re-stream). But they do editorialize on top (and cough and sniffle)... fortunately, only occasionally.

Go is to C as plan 9 is to unix. Not better enough - and no new platform to carry it unlike JS, Perl, Ruby, Python, PHP, Java (web); Objective-C, Java (mobile); Java, Ruby, Python (cloud). The problem is that people don't like to swi

The lack of birds and fish is striking. However, the trawler is still catching fish. The tsunami may have some natural effect too. Also striking is the lack of photos - I suspect it wasn't literally "like sailing through a garbage

Why can't a display behave exactly as bit-mapped memory? That is, you set this pixel in memory, and that pixel changes on the screen, at that time. That is, like a vector display, but using the LEDs of a flat screen. There's no el
