It's not clear how a willingness for the end-users to pay $3-5 monthly would help the situation given that he can't use $$ to increase his quota-controlled access to the api.

I can't say I care much about having cellular networking in my MacBook but what I want to know is why they're still being sold with internal DVD drives and no hybrid SSD/HDD drive combination. Apple doesn't sell a laptop with a SSD large e

I think a lot of people would contend exFAT is NOT a great option by virtue of the fact that Microsoft holds patents on the filesystem and has (in the past) enforced those patents. So it's pretty unlikely that it's ever going to have great

Unless I missed something you're describing exactly what the linked article suggested to do.

If you're talking about Postgres most people would likely implement this using date/time-based partitioning which provides a more seamless solution to this problem.

Azul Systems has been marketing a different solution to this same problem in the Zing VMs for some time now. I believe their solution is based on adding extra APIs to the underlying kernel etc. so the JVM's heap isn't so opaque to the OS/h

Keep in mind that the government did NOT force Bayer to manufacture the drug, only to license it. I don't believe Bayer had any interest in pursuing the Indian market whatsoever since it was priced well beyond what the average person could

The really simple argument is that at the previous price very, very few people in India could afford it. So in the end it is more than likely that the revenue that is gained is higher than it would have been at the very high price.

You mention using it to author books. Is there a plan to make support exporting to epub/mobi formats then?

You must be one of those lucky people that only write new code all the time and never have to maintain code written by someone else. For the rest of us poor suckers who have to do a mix of writing new code and maintaining existing code bas

I'm surprised there's been no mention of Lombok ( http://projectlombok.org/ ) since the goals seem to be the same. Lombok of course, is not a language but just a set of annotions and annotation processors to handle the code generation behi

I really don't think you can equate tuning the JVM to writing/debugging C and C++ memory management. Tuning the JVM doesn't require wizardry. It requires some attention to detail and careful monitoring but most of what you need to know we

I'm curious why you'd choose an algorithm that on average takes O(n log n) comparisons with a O(n^2) worst case versus simply iterating O(n)? Unless there are other requirements I don't see why you'd suggest sorting the elements.

FYI, LinkedIn open-sourced the work they did to build real-time indexing/search on top of Lucene. It's called Zoie ( http://javasoze.github.com/zoie/ ), I've played with it and it's nice from a performance point of view...

I do think that a proper engineer would use weight measurements (grams) in most cases (with the exception of liquids) rather than less accurate volume measurements.

I didn't see this anywhere on your website: is the watch water-resistant? I know you're focused on the programmable aspects of the watch but to me this is important information.

Sure, but if you're a personal user using BIS the email experience on the BB is pretty poor compared to the other phones out there today. With BIS connecting to IMAP it doesn't actually do a two-way sync so if I read and delete an email on

And machine code printed in binary is all 1's & 0's. What could be more elegant than that?
