This. With typical web applications, your request would wait until something times out and cascades back to the client (webserver, app server, db, etc.). This can mean waiting for 30 seconds or more depending on your configuration. It's not

In terms of SaaS, we use: github (code review is the killer feature) campfire jira + greenhopper (no killer feature :-( ) notableapp (so-so interactions with our designers) balsamiq (quick & easy mockups) crash

Thanks for clarifying. I understand the decision better now. How about an option (disabled by default) that allows self-signed certificate per fetched account, e.g., in the "edit info" dialog? I guess everybody would be happy with this one

I fail to understand how gmail accepting to fetch email from an account without any sort of encryption, but refusing to fetch email from my CS department which has a self-signed certificate can benefit me or make me more secure...

But you need a Mac to develop most (i)OS applications and I cannot imagine some of the more complex apps being developed on an iPad-like device.

Yes, but unless rpm/deb works with softlinks, it is not atomic right? Do you do anything before/after dist-upgrade or is it included in the pre/post install script? For example, for our deployment, we rely on softlinks and uwsgi robust relo

I do not really care about the case or the iPad, but the footage is just stunning and worth your time.

The other big catch is randomness, which is often not understood by neophytes. If you try to find relations in sufficiently large data set, you're bound to find some that are "caused" by randomness. Tools like p-values are of little help wh

This is so true. I've been mining mailing lists and framework documentation for my Ph.D. and most of my effort and time was spent normalizing the data. Once that was done, classifying content and linking concepts was relatively easy...

I agree with you, but he was using MongoDB and AFAIK, indexing is a must with this kind of db. Actually, I hope that he does not expect a big write load because he seemed to have added the indexes pretty quickly without thinking too much ab

Yes, and Microsoft Research also publishes papers without any numbers on the axes of their graphs (e.g., number of bugs per component in windows vista). There is also a debate whether this can be seen as a significant contribution to scienc

About Problem 1, I must stay vague, but the code I read was understandable. We tracked the time it took us to review the artifacts and since this is still an open problem (how to efficiently and fairly review artifacts), the process may cha

Thanks socratic for summarizing well the previous discussions! I was quite vocal against the obligation to release code if there was no incentive, even though I released the code of all the papers I published so far [1]. But to my surprise,

"I think everyone understand that instructors aren't concerned about copyrights." Well if you click on the "about" link on lectureleaks.com, you'll see that they only talk about copyrights. They do not seem to care about anything else... In

"Programs are pretty close to abstract maths" For you and many people, yes. For me and many other people, no. I sometimes write math when I program, but more often, I manage. I assign roles and responsibilities. I orchestrate communications

It's funny this came from SICP's authors because I always found that Lisp was harder to read/write than languages like Python which look like English. I'm not saying one is better or that one is easier to maintain than the other, just that

The system you describe, recording events and replaying events to get the actual state of the system, usually assumes that you can only write one event at a time (writes need to be super cheap). If you can write multiple events in parallel,

Yes, I don't see these often and it seems that they are powerful learning aids. Full-fledged videos/screencasts are hard to search and index while screenshots are bad to show actions.

The graphic would be much more interesting if we could see the indirect links targeting Google. I believe that patent suits targeting B&N and Samsung (a subset maybe) are really targeted toward Google.
