The building cited as an SRO is the Hugo Hotel. It's vacant, and not even in the tenderloin.

Ejection systems are pretty advanced. A secondary black-box or just transponder that ejects in the event of rapid acceleration or altitude loss could be helpful, although the engineering of getting it into an airliner might be a bit tough.

Arguably, this is likely only the second crash of a 777 that's not attributable to pilot error, and the first catastrophic crash in nearly 19 years. It's almost like this blog post is suggesting that safety of large airliners is i

Or you could apply to NERSC and hop on the Cray XC30. It was actually "free" for a while to use.

yeah, I'm from New Mexico too. Grew up in Farmington, lived in Las Cruces a year, Albuquerque has always sort of been home base. Still, I lived in SLC for a decade too and I've been in SF for 4 years now, and I've spent a lot

Oh fuck off, you obviously haven't been to half of these states, especially considering you dumped New Mexico into a list with Mississippi. How that would ever make sense is beyond me. What would you even be fearing? Burritos and Barbe

No, it doesn't, although it might be possible to sort of emulate it by setting ZMQ_HWM to 1 and enabling ZMQ_SWAP, but I wouldn't bet on it. The best you can hope is to use the Titanic Service Protocol and just throw data into som

My suggestion is to just use RabbitMQ. It's written in Erlang, it uses a BerkeleyDB-like backend for message storage. It's non-distributed, "durable", and optionally with persistent and non-persistent messages. It has a

Before that, the US did it in New Mexico in 1967 with project gasbuggy. It was nuclear fracking basically.

Ferry to MV would be ~30 minutes or less from SF. The Vallejo fairy is nearly twice as long and it takes an hour. Then from Redwood City to MV it's about 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The 30 minutes is on par with what it would tak

The problem with this logic is that it assumes a zero-sum game, and a constant demand. Example: If we have 10 guys making hydrogen cells, and all the sudden we can replace them with one robot and one guy, and that takes an unviable industry

It's typically used either for additional documentation or for type inference (like for IDEs, static analysis). Only the fact that you can annotate parameters/return types is implemented. This was basically done to see how annotat

I wrote something in Java 7 I call zerorm that has some similar functionality. The type safety is mostly optional, but it can be enforced in a few ways, either through the compiler or at "bind time". It's similar to jOOq, kor
