It is often very hard to identify the best course of action. But in any large enough group, you can in short order identify the Oracle of Wrong, who has a complementary skill. For the most difficult choices, where you honestly cannot decide

It is hazardous to comment on this topic. However, I would remind the reader of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's maxim, "The boundary between good and evil runs through every man's heart". The time each of us spends stupid is id

One might almost guess from the name that it is a C++ compiler, and not so limited as to compile only the legacy C subset.

GC systems delay collecting garbage because it is unproductive overhead. For each object constructed, it is quicker to claim fresh memory than to clean up garbage and reclaim its memory. Thus, garbage accumulates, amounting to memory claime

I have doubts as well. "Almost" may be carrying a heavy load there. People are just really good at communicating, face to face, over difficult barriers, particularly when they share cultural underpinnings. But I don't speak a

He says it runs eCos, a real-time kernel. And, that the other, unused CPU would run Linux on more full-featured products on the same hardware base.

Yet, it is what we experience. One GC program on a machine may perform well. Two are a problem.

The description of the Pleiades as "seven sisters" in Australia and Europe is a similar case. People used to think it meant the story had been carried so long, and so far. But 50,000 years seems to be too long. That said, it has b

Yet, Ket in central Asia and Navajo in south-central North America are very closely related. Sadly, Ket is close to dead, with only dozens of mostly elderly still fluent. Some suspect it was carried in a migration from Alaska back to Asia.

There are sound reasons why no substantial system in common use is coded in Smalltalk. Kay could have spent the decades since his time at PARC figuring out why, and remedying them. One of the reasons is that O-O is just one of several imp

Yet, out of 2489 packages installed on this machine, exactly zero are in Java, .Net, or Javascript. Why do you suppose that could be? The only one that is a serious hog is the browser, for reasons you can probably deduce. Pandoc, I will own

If SpaceX cared, the Starlink fleet (both satellites and ground stations) could be the biggest, most sensitive radio telescope in the world, without compromising its usefulness as a network. It points in all directions at the same time. Wit

There is a project to get transcontinental ships to add emitters of FeCl3 to their exhaust stacks, to catalyze oxidation of methane. It seems to be getting enthusiastic uptake from shipowners for reasons unknown to me. 10,000 ships emitting

Not so many books there, though, unless they are hidden away underground. I will take the New York Public Library, which has a good reading room with lots of tables, and a very good collection.

It absolutely is an embarrassment. There is no reason the one CPU couldn't do both jobs, one where the CPU powers up every 250ms and does the low-power work for a fractional microsecond and then shuts down, and the other just by stay
