I think you hit the spot. The reason why so many devs go for mac nowadays, is to have a good laptop that you don't have to babysit / configure much yourself and that's well integrated with a unix toolchain. On a desktop, many of these adv

You certainly do have a point. I'm Swiss and our gun ownership clocks in somewhere after USA and Canada, yet violence levels are about the same as in the rest of Europe. It really seems to have much more to do with culture than with guns th

You raise a very good point here. IMO there should be a big push in the pedagogic branch of CS. It should be a requirement for math teachers to study, just like manual division algorithms. I was lucky to have a math teacher in high school w

Wait, so it isn't even worth prioritizing a field which heavily influences pretty much all of today's economy and the influence will only grow in the future. Your input about business proposals is certainly valid, but it dodges the issue

Would we require people to know the basics about car mechanics if 90% if out jobs were depending on driving a car and if people had about 50 of them on average? I think yes, Sir.

Well, if this is the case that would be a pretty deep architectural problem, I'd say, for a PaaS like Heroku. I think it's pretty obvious that you need at least two layers of hierarchy for the routing here: One (or more) router forwarding r

Yes, that's what I meant: I couldn't see a missile trail either, only airplane trails and the one from the meteorite itself.

Looking at these videos it doesn't look like there has been a defense missile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wUqmS35REY . Such missiles would leave a visible trail in the atmosphere, wouldn't they?

This one is much better, it actually shows the incoming meteor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wUqmS35REY

Really? Is that so hard? All you need is a table on the router that tells it the best information it can currently have about the number of requests processed on each dyno - without doing a roundtrip. This requires exactly one additional (o

While the whole discussion makes me skeptical of both Broder and Tesla's customer service, I'd like to add here that Tesla most probably would need permission to do that. Even releasing GPS data is already a questionable move - IANAL, but I

Regarding CUDA programming: If you want to do this seriously do yourself a favor and get a test machine with a Fermi and/or Kepler card running a CLI-only linux and ssh in for testing. CUDA drivers run just fine on linux, it's one of the mo

I guess the problem I have is with the word 'love' itself. It's such a strong feeling for something that's just a tool that can in some situations make you turn around bits more efficiently. Can't we just look at that stuff rationally and

Sounds very similar to my experience with Japanese culture. We call their Shintoism a 'religion' but it doesn't fit either, it's much more like what you list.

As others here have pointed out in different discussions: Ideas aren't worth much by themselves. It's the subset that's implementable of which it's the subset that has gotten implemented that's worth anything. If we just love ideas we sho

Why do you 'want to love' Heroku? Because their marketing speak is so great?

Thanks for the link, it's indeed a good read.

I always liked them prioritizing to give you a complete out of the box features. Firefox's plugin hell made me crawl up the wall every time I saw the dreaded 'you must now restart Firefox' dialog. I assume it's better now but a few years ag

As someone who's been a longtime Opera user before switching to Chrome (buggy release around 10.x, weakening site compatibility) I'm so glad to read this. This decision shows the quality of engineers who work at Opera - not afraid to throw

Ah thanks, there it is. Shame, I was hoping to get a node in Japan as well.

As someone living in a land far beyond the mountains and the sea (aka Switzerland) I'm thinking this: 5$ for a nice Hulu / Netflix proxy? Sweet!

Your comment reads exactly like an xkcd comic. I wonder why this is..

Thanks for the input. I didn't have the exact timeframe in mind either, I just knew it was longer ago at a time when I wasn't yet interested in political events ;-). Also, I wasn't quite aware that this stuff isn't common knowledge outside

Some note: When it comes to debugging I've rarely seen a better stacktrace output than the one Flask presents you in debug mode (provided by Werkzeug). It actually lets you open the damn sourcefile right there. Right now I'm (mis?)using F

Is the collapse still influencing you in everyday life? I wasn't quite aware of that (sorry). For example in Sweden all signs of it seem to have long gone, then again it's been quite a bit longer in the past.

See, the root of the problem with the start screen behavior for me is that the desktop is treated like a metro app. It's true that you can get used to this, but I'm pretty sure it's one hell of a stretch for 'normal' users. It just looks an
