I checked to see if the author of GNU grep left a comment, and was not disappointed: "I’m here with Mike Haertel, GNU grep author and the author of the performance hack that bedeviled you so. He Googled your article somehow a while ago and

Slide was originally supposed to be a revolutionary way to organize and share photos. But they found monetization in the social network sphere and seemed to focus on that.

Erm, what do you mean? As a student? grad student? faculty? I don't understand how you would need to deal with issues like performance reviews and management as a student. (I can see the distractions part, though.)

Raymond Chen tells a story that Notepad won some industry award in the late 90s, but no one at Microsoft could remember who the original author was: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2009/11/02/99159... And follow-up post: http

As a kid I was surprised that adults seemed to have forgotten how mentally capable they were at my age. I made a distinct mental note to my future self that kids are smarter than I would evidently grow up to think. Of course I also now look

It's not surprising that you wouldn't get anything new from K&R after finishing H&S. H&S is intended to be a reference manual whereas K&R is more of a tutorial (that doubles as a reference manual, especially before ANSI C wa

One the other hand, the discussion is punctuated with the audience yelling "Louder!" and "We can't hear you!" on top of a lot of background noise (including various interruptions from the audience). I got the sense you almost had to be lou

It was a single tweet ( http://twitter.com/yukihiro_matz/status/3875573878 ). A more direct translation is "book I want". I'm glad the site links to the source, though. I like easy to verify testimonials.

This looks to be the first patent granted to Facebook. From the references in the patent, there are many more in the pipeline: U.S. Appl. No. 11/639,655, Mark Zuckerberg, Systems and Methods for Social Mapping, filed Dec. 14, 2006. cited by

I just googled the probable original Japanese titles of the first four listed seized items. I found they are all available on Amazon.co.jp (3 available as used from third-party vendors, 1 as new directly from Amazon). From the covers it's

I guess I could have left that out. Sometimes they ask for login, sometimes not; but I cringed and came to the comments hoping for a direct link myself.

I can do no better than quote Randal himself again, from the same thread: "Well, there was a very embarassing error for Apple a few years ago for the 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade as I recall. Apparently, if you had a space in your home disk name,
