   I especially enjoyed Stephen Adams' talk. The other two were very interesting, but much broader overviews of Google technologies. Adams really drilled down into the nitty gritty tricks he used to decrease the size of Chrome updates. In cont

   Any resources on how to leverage this? Their FAQ offers no info for developers.

   Interesting article, but 0 technical detail. Mimicking the human brain in terms of neuron/transistor count is one thing, but it's not a scenario where you can just copy the hardware and expect it to work. Research has hinted that myelinatio

   I wonder if they eat their own dogfood and use Mint to manage the company's finances.

    I couldn't disagree more. There's at least as much variety in teas as in coffees and the "skill" needed to expertly discern between them is an equal breed of obsession to that of the most affected coffee-snob. Tea preparation can be equally

    Not really news, but I'll take it. Clojure's been popping up everywhere lately and I'm currently knee-deep in functional programming in my PL class, so I'll definitely bookmark this for when I feel like learning over the summer. Thanks!

    I swear Hacker/Innocuous News is following the programming languages class I'm currently taking. In the last week we've gone over tail recursion and the Markov model and in the last 12 hours they've both made appearances on the front page.

    People have been saying that for 2 years. "The next version" is always when they'll dump the sordid brown.
