Apparently they stopped some other bombing (though it's pretty hard to convict a criminal guilty purely on intent). I think it just comes down to the trade off of freedom vs. loss of life. I mean that's what it's really about

Wikipedia might be a weird source to get that data, since people are more likely to "quickly check wikipedia" on their phone instead of a computer, while most sites people just browse may be uneffected. More data needed.

Hadoop is specifically for clustered computer, it doesn't really make sense otherwise. Like the speaker said, it's really simplified (though you can do a lot of stuff with map/reduce). In some ways the guy is probably blowing some steam, si

I think the core problem he was talking about is that people use tools that are bigger than they need to use. If you have 100TB+ of data, you might need a cluster. Think about it, Google has to deal with all of the pages on the internet; pr

It's not concurrent either. It's about asynchronous. Tasks that don't finish before another one starts and runs. Why would you want this? From the website: * Improved program structure. * More readable code. * Increased programmer productiv

Don't worry about signing up guys, they will only send you a random 10% of the promotional emails they send out. Or was it 90%? Who knows.

The point of Stackless python is that it avoids the GIL by not using threading. It's more about asynchronous behavior.

Would you want to try to build a web browser today? What if you only needed to implement html1.0 and NPAPI?

by asperous 13y ago
My opinion is that Google/Mozila is pushing HTML5 instead of plugins not because that's what's best for the web, but because exactly this-- it decreases the potential for competition.

I think it was free, and then it became paid, and now it's free again. Freemium might be better. Or suggested article advertizement on the right? They pretty much do that already.

I'm not an expert on government documents, so I am wondering: what formatting does the Australian Govt need? Why wouldn't plain text suffice?

Now that Pixar is only ray tracing, can real time move to scanline? I'd really like to see a lot more smooth shapes and complicated geometry in games if possible.

The truth is that Lisp is not the right language for any particular problem. Rather, Lisp encourages one to attack a new problem by implementing new languages tailored to that problem. Such a language might embody an alternative computatio
