The advice to use a single open/close call instead of multiple is great, but that is advice on how to effectively use the filesystem. It isn't in anyway, shape, or form beating the filesystem.

Well, both LA and Santa Monica are part of Los Angeles County. Plus, Santa Monica is bordered on all sides by the actual city of LA. People frequently do refer to many cities in the county as living in LA. San Jose and San Francisco are i

Surely you don't expect cameras and drones to have massive, loud, heavy, power draining, $650 dollar graphics cards in them? It seems if they are used in development the sales don't scale anywhere near directly with the number of

To each his own, but personally, I find large wedding celebrations to be an absolute blast. I went to a 500+ person wedding in Beersheba Israel last year and it was incredible. It was one of the most fun, warm, and endearing events I have

I actually was asked this problem in a programming interview. This is first I've read that it is an unsolved problem, which definitely makes me chuckle.

I don't think the thesis of the article was that instant access to information is bad for society. I think the article was more a reflection on how radically things have changed, and that, even if things are generally much better now,

Does this same danger also apply to bitcoin exchanges? Are they heavily guarded? Just wondering...

Actually, according to the article Android is selling 50% more handsets. Not really "almost even." I don't think you are supposed to be impressed, it is just a bit of sales data for use at cocktail parties. It seems pretty clear that both

Capturing and mapping real life "acting" to a virtual character is actually very useful. Games interweave game play and story telling moments. During story telling moments, using this tech allows the virtual characters to express better em

Title is misleading... If you read the article Carmack is saying that the processing of power of mobile devices will exceed current generation consoles, not that the sales will. About sales he says: "Could the bottom drop out on the triple

Believe it or not, we can agree on the leather part! I actually wear leather flip-flops. They are quite painful to break in, but ultimately curve exactly like my foot and have a wonderful feel. Part of our opinions are also cultural. I li
