I think this is a fair comparison and the truth (that many cannot swallow) is that Javascript is simply too slow for non-trivial computations. All these talks about Javascript finally catching up in speed to native, and now a slightly non

This is not a problem with "non-compete" per se, but with use of confidential/proprietary information such as who's employed, what's the org chart. You have a much better case if the ex-colleague publicly shares his contact information, say

I didn't think it was appropriate to turn this into a revenue opportunity so I didn't offer that option. In fact, in the blog article, I intentionally took out the standard "tagxedo.com" attribution text in the image so this is a pure tribu

Let's not compare the two legends. They made their own marks in vastly different ways. Both magnificent. I love them both. RIP.

I doubt it. Blind deconvolution is hard. I think they may use something like super resolution where multiple blurred pictures can be used to recreate a less blury picture (and this is significantly easier to do than blind deconvolution).

I agree. This is really a damage control to his own reputation. I don't find the apology sincere at all, given the extent and duration of his dishonesty.

The connectivity between the server and client side of Fire seems to be quite custom so it is unlikely a simple port. Amazon also mentioned that this is exclusive to Fire and made no mentioning of plan to expand Fire. If they do plan to exp

When I first read that there are 76 browsers to support, I was thinking... Hmm, yeah this versioning thing is going out of hand. But it was Chrome + FF + Opera + Safari + 72 versions of IE. Seriously? Projecting all the way to IE20 (2022) w

I agree with jchonphoenix and groby_b. I'm sure there are a lot of great self-taught genius who don't have the formal training but does a much better job than most, but there are orders of magnitude more in the camp of "half-taught" mediocr

The quicksort implementation is incorrect. The code simply picking the left-most element as the pivot, and as a result it becomes pathologically slow for nearly-sorted array -- for example, run bubblesort then quicksort, or run quicksort tw

I understand you don't want to change because it does invalidate a big portion of your article. But by dancing around the problem, instead of addressing it, you did weaken the trustworthiness of your article, and make it sound more of a wit

If so, I suggest you change the title to "Neutrinos Faster Than Light, or DRAM artifacts?"

The author assumes that FPGA works in a way similar to CPU, and makes various assertion. But the way it works is that it implements a logic/circuitry except that such logic/circuitry was specified by some bits in the memory (hence the word

Firstly, if this FPGA-based system is using DRAM and implements caching, results may vary due to a single variable or data structured being in a cache line or not, which may or may not delay a code path by up to 10-100 ns (typical DRAM lat

Try http://www.hashsum.com It's a Silverlight application I wrote years ago (as a warmup) and it does MD5, SHA1, SHA256, etc. and it is much faster than any Javascript or Flash implementation I've ever seen, including this one. Apology fo

You are correct. Web-based Silverlight application does not run on WP7. You can (rather easily in some cases) develop a WP7 app with the same codebase as a Silverlight app though.

So... I gather that you are mostly (but violently) agreeing with me? I said there was a 3-way war between Silverlight, Flash, and web app. At the end, Steve Jobs made the call that they all suck and went with native app. He could have stick
