Let's place the blame where it lies -- with this idiot judge. If a plaintiff has a legitimate case, and the goverment has a legitimate reason for secrecy, then it's the job of the judge to navigate these waters so justice is done.

Can someone explain to me where all of the eroded topsoil goes? It doesn't just blow away. It goes somewhere. Conservation of matter, right? If it ends up as sludge in a lake or river, can't we dredge and get it back? Yes, I know

Ok, this is a big problem. We've started a project that uses their fdb-sql-parser, which was an Apache-licensed fork of the Derby sql parser. I did not make a clone of it before they pulled it. Does anyone have a copy? Fortunately, the

Keep in mind that an enormous amount of business is done through personal relationships. Future job offers, sales, and other opportunities will come from people you have worked with in the past and who respect you. So, focus on that. Keep t

Ask yourself what purpose you wish to achieve? Do you want them to change their decision? Are you concerned that they might want to accuse you of leaving for some other reason, and you want to document it? Keep it short unless you want to a

This looks really cool, but I'm having a tough time using it from within a Java app. My knowledge of Clojure is very limited, but it appears to run on the JVM and should work. It installs via Maven just fine. Running it, however, is cu

One reason to not use GET to modify server state is that bots and crawlers may hit your api. They almost universally use GET and not POST.

The most famous similar case is that of Phineas Gage. The brain injuries he suffered were of enormous importance to science. The whole story is fascinating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage

My thought exactly. Warning! Warning! NullPointerException! No, that's a contract I do not want.

When you lemmatize, what are you doing exactly? Are you merely reducing words to a more common form, thereby reducing IDF? For example, are you reducing "walking" or "walked" to "walk", and then using the IDF o

This is actually a pretty old idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_memory_allocation The primary benefit of it is that it makes space reclamation more efficient. (At least I think so. Might not be true with modern

Swagger would be great. Make sure that you can regen the docs without losing anything when the Swagger spec changes. What are the cooler options? (Also, the Blog link in your main menu on the home page 404s)

How does this connect to an API? Does it read Swagger? Or is all the setup (paths, parameters, etc) done manually?

Maybe this is naive, but wouldn't it have made more sense to do a bunch of smaller cp commands? Like sweep through the directory structure and do one cp per directory? Or find some other way to limit the number of files copied per comm

Designers of these systems need to understand that their target market can't yet read, and the whole system is worthless for small kids if you need to be able to read written prompts. My five year old zips around the ipad and could do

Someone explain why you couldn't just build a plywood ramp and drive it out? Or winch it up an incline too steep to drive? Somehow, there needs to be a hole large enough to extract the dirt, bring in the structural elements, bring in t

This spec is total overkill. First, you don't need to conflate a pubsub interface with async streams. Two totally different problems. Second, async streams are easy: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21143996&#x2F

Yes, it looks like the same idea as Jackrabbit / JCR. I hope they've done their homework and understood the advantages and limitations of that API. I always found it a pain to work with, and that's probably the reason it neve

A nice trick. It could be used for generalized string search as well as compression. And if you indexed bigrams instead of single characters, it could be even faster. I especially like the clear, easy-to-understand, well-written presentatio

Is there any way to get incrementals? It would be extremely valuable is to get the pages that were added/changed/deleted each day. Some kind of a daily feed of a more limited size.

The breadth of this library is really remarkable. It feels slow, though. I think people underestimate the importance of a snappy fast interface. We use bootstrap + handlebars and get really fast response, at the cost of having to build a lo
