To those who read this, this statement is completely incorrect. It's actually very interesting how (in general) Britain's degrees are far more specialised from far earlier (than the US), and this is no different for either Oxford

Mm, my understanding is that it's for a few reasons: - Oracle have good name recognition (no one ever fired for using Oracle), presumably an army of support people, well trained consultants, etc. - Postgres traditionally has not been a

It does make Haskell a dynamic language, but also isn't really what's meant. Generally when people compare statically typed languages and dynamically typed languages, what they are doing is comparing the various ways in which the

In fairness, this technique is very normal, just perhaps not in recent years. http://www.check-six.com/Crash_Sites/Shiga-SFBay.htm

This is almost always not the best approach. Database software has been written in order to make developing software as painless as possible. Transactions (even at the single write level), foreign keys, indices, constraints are all there to

Had he been doing that, he'd probably have had a more defendable case. In reality, it's patently clear that he sprayed them with roundup to find the roundup resistant wheat that he strongly suspected was present in his field to av

Generally it's just that it's really difficult to do it right. Sometime's it's impossible. It's often loads more work (which can be hard to debug). Furthermore, it's frequently not even an advantage. Have a rea

Your conclusion doesn't follow. Just because something isn't representative of a typical situation doesn't mean that it can't accurately predict performance in that situation. I'm not sure why you (and others, it ha

So a large team like Ferrari or McLaren will spend about $400 million on running the whole team for the year - that includes all salaries, R&D, simulation, transport, part costs, marketing etc. They'll get about $80 million back on

The ride took 18 minutes, and most of the money is for time. Say a car would take that route at an average of 10 miles an hour + stoppage time. It seems a conservative estimate. Then the cost of the ride would be $0.55 9 + $3.5 + 6 $0.55

I've spent some time with Robert Mullins and he is an absolutely stand-up guy. It was a pleasure to be taught by him.

1. Memory isn't just slow because they went for capacity not performance (except vacuously), it's slow because of the laws of physics. c.f. L3 memory is made of the same stuff as registers but takes about 30 times longer to access

A big problem is that scientists are traditionally very secretive. This would increase the possibility of leaks, and there'd need to be some way of assuring that the experiment was conducted correctly. Good idea, though.

Not really. The feedback period is for things like UX etc - this essentially makes the software (as usual for these homebrew efforts) much less secure than you think it is. When the primary reason that this software is at all secure is that

I believe the mistake to be yours. Algorithms is a largely theoretical field - when an algorithms researcher comes up with an algorithm with a lower asymptotic bound, that's all he or she is claiming - they're making no statements

Erm this smacks a little of absolutism. In many cases you'll definitely want to test at a method level - if the behaviour of a single method is complex but its not part of the API, if you want to test it properly, you'll likely st

How does missing the 'car analogy' help at all? Analogies are only ever useful to explain to those who do not understand the first case - trying to draw parallels otherwise inevitably leads to gross simplifications, and they'

Nah, not really. A closer analogy is Ford shutting down all of Tesla's charging stations because the chargers had a nasty habit of attempting to bazooka any Ford cars that drove past. The competition from no-ip to Microsoft from this i

Yes - when I had insomnia problems, I showed the charts from the sleep accelerometer app on my phone to my consultant, and it helped them very much.

All your points have contradicted my most important one. We should never allow the situation in which someone who has been given access to the network (a guest, a child, ...) can be allowed to either control the BACnet components themselves

Security is incredibly important. If I give someone my WiFi password, I'd really rather they didn't have the ability to open/close my windows, turn off my heating, turn on my lights etc. Introducing such a system to the con

That's fantastic, but says nothing about the relative merits of BACnet. It's an industry standard, yes, as I understand it typical of a modern business unit, but that does not mean that it should be the one used by any new adopter

This isn't really surprising. The primary upside is obviously that it's much, much easier to work out when you're on a phishing website. The downside is that you have to make an extra click to view the whole URL. The other op
