The article has a point that Ray Kurzweil's claims are nonsense, but lets not focus on his claims on genome-to-protein-to-brain cells mechanism. What's rather more important is how the brain does what it does and how that compares with toda

Excellent. We do open source development and I was about to write a complex script that moves patches around to be able to keep a few private commits and still stay in sync with the single-commit release repos.

I tried to build one from scratch based on my own L4 microkernel. Given the bloated nature of monolithic kernels and their irrelevance to embedded space, I had the thought that if I wrote something small and neat it could gain traction for

OK but it's not convincing to think Google would have thought, oh Sun is a company that is nice to open source, so lets base our whole Android operating environment on this open source friendly Java language and JVM and disregard any possib

OK but, did google not really think about this possibility? I think it was a very obvious risk and I would think they probably had a plan for this.

The term 'design' is taken differently here, with more emphasis on art than engineering. If you're engineering a piece of work, your design will surely be better if it is minimalistic. But if what you mean by 'design' is an artistic approac

I was expecting to see a mixergy-style talent story where they got 10 geeks with intuition and little spending. I don't see the intuition or talent here.

An open source OS for UAVs? If he can do it just like that by throwing in some money I would be surprised. I think his venture is something else.

I won't know about Canonical's claims but it is sure that they're perceived to have more impact on desktop than Red Hat, and that's a very fair perception regardless of the number of commits Redhat does on one particular piece of the deskto

He could have added the switch statement optimization. That's my favorite. GCC 4 can optimize switch statements with sequential keys e.g. (1,2,3,4 ...) into a jump table. This was AFAIK introduced in GCC 4

IMHO this sentence: "And yet I've definitely had days when I might as well have sat in front of a TV all day" could have been rephrased to be clearer to describe days lost without watching TV but equally unproductive. Its rather subtle to g

I read the paypal story on Founders at Work. It was one of the difficult ones. If the Russian founder cashed out with 1-2 million IMHO it would be too little for all he's been through in that story.

OK I agree that on low-end phones probably symbian has perfected its place over the years. But probably they run a simplified version on low-end ones. The high-end version is non-intuitive.

I have been expecting death of Symbian for a while. It existed for when all phone software sucked big time. Not anymore. There is android + iphone and symbian has no chance there. The problem is symbian is clunky. The UI looks old and borin
