TLDR: In a parallel thread ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4086805 ) multiple posters note how Pixar's 22 tips for storytelling apply to computer programming. Obviously AAPL took note, because Neal Stephenson is working on Clang now

It doesn't look like they really fixed it. Care to point out what they did? The bug history is humongous, I don't think I can go through all of that.

This speech is very good because it illustrates well the points I was missing when explaining to many people why their bogus wasn't science. Great tool to now have at my disposal.

What I seriously want? GTA: Google Maps. Even if you can't walk into the buildings or anything. Even if it's top-down only. I want it. Want want want want.

I'm not sure how to use it. Can you give an example of where it works, and what changes if this is not done?

Consider the fact that the magazine is being bought by the average Joe. For him, figuring out ASCII is impossible, and talking about binary systems is an advanced feat.

Red light coming up in the back of my head. Wouldn't the MD5->scrypt pipeline expose new attacks that scrypt doesn't have? Maybe there's a higher collision probability or some known-text attack, but I'm really shooting in the dark here.

Any idea if the new version will use a mini-dp port for the thunderbolt output? I think that might be a bit unreasonable for such a platform where the connector needs to be fairly robust? I can imagine a lot of those hanging by the cable.

Sadly, that's not the way it's being marketed to the masses of developers. You're talking about what seems to be a technical detail to someone who's been corporate-brainwashed by the apple reality distortion field (maybe they're keeping Job

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, you're right, it's just something you can come up with researching tv tropes. Basically it's like the story teller's technical manual, and again, being annoyed at stupid characters will be something you fix by

Came here to post that. The fact that Intel's version, years later, sports half the TDP and half the size isn't an innovation, it's just an optimization. As much as I hate Apple hardware I must again admit they did a thing there worth consi

They're not as fast though. And unless you really care about size, a 65 watts doesn't matter. I've got a dead silent system with an 85W gpu and a geforce 9800 gxt+. (one fan in it, but it's a low voltage Noctua that can't be heard even with

Fairly obviously, he's complaining that he followed some of the rules listed on the linked page out of his own accord, and was penalized for that.

Came here to post that. In addition, the dickhead reserves the right to change the rules at any time, and you're required to sign everything. So basically, once you have a job and a contract, you're signing a second contract, when you've be

The supporting information was supplied with the claim. You wait for items irrelevant to your applications to (very sluggishly) load. I suggest reading the book "High performance websites", it's very thin.

A coincidence is just something which happened without a lead-on. An outcome surprising, therefore perceived as improbable (perception bias at play here). Anything that happens in time has an outcome and things that follow it in logical ord

The slide just says "open source everything". How you conceived that this in turn means "django has ingested the python community" is beyond me. Probably the same mental flaw that makes you a stalker. Why should I be replying to a stalker a

The "duty as favor" part of your comment was very insightful. This is a recurring theme in all actions that ultimately cost the person performing them without foreseeable payback. This is, in my experience, displayed by people with shaky mo
