In fact, CMS and ATLAS are sort of same experiment repeated twice, just in parallel rather than serially. Repeatable doesn't imply identical experimental design.

I think the USRP1 motherboard, when I originally used one in 2008, used to be $700 complete/$550 for the motherboard. The price now is $719, but that includes the enclosure, cables, power supply, etc... I actually cut my teeth on Pytho

Cooking Issues has been my favorite podcast for several years. tptacek also enjoys it. Kenji has a bunch of practical advice and he's a great writer (even though at times his own bias steps in prominently at time), but Dave Arnold is r

This is garbage. There is easily enough information to uniquely identify him (lamb of god, religious convictions, recently left the NSA, social media), which calls into question the entire premise of the article.

Please fix title, it's a bit misleading in that this institute isn't an actual Stanford institute anymore than HP is.

That's not as bad as it sounds because the console, preamps, compressors, etc... all cost a ton of money too.

This isn't the case with oracle, MySQL, or hsqldb, at least when using jdbc. I believe it's also not true for SQLite and postgres.

Well I guess computing in astrophysics and HEP isn't that interesting then :) It's true that we need shared data, but we don't need shared state (memory) for any of our workloads, and shared data (e.g. disk/db) is a much
