And what will they be?

I completely agree. Unfortunately, what I've seen more than once is that mgmt (or even someone from the rank-and-file) sees / experiences a new tool like Slack (or Campfire, or Hangouts, or...) and says "hey, great new tool

Well put. But you may have missed the memo because you're in the wrong time zone, and with Slack, your possibly-relevant input is ignored because you can't participate in real time. This is my beef with chat. As the OP says, it bi

I'm more interested in what parts of Python are 'accidentally slow' or 'accidentally huge' that Python noobs fall into. I remember when I was first learning Perl many years ago, and discovered that certain varieties

Does anyone have any evidence of this actually having a resource usage impact on any common programs? I see one reference to Apache below, but not whether it actually made a measurable difference.

It very much "depends". I'll give you an example. A friend had a technique that worked very well on the NASDAQ 100 with roughly those BT criteria. One problem was overlooked: The NASDAQ 100 changes over that time. So yo

That doesn't mean they need to upgrade the wire going into the house then.

I don't use 10x as much bandwidth every 3yrs either. I don't use 3x. I don't come anywhere near my "unlimited cap", nor do I use anywhere near my 80mbps limit, except the occasional download (from a very well-connec

Funnier on Bloomberg! Sort of. I guess they don't do physics there. I love the closing: "Kalanick’s bet on Uber Elevate is another indication that while Silicon Valley seems on the surface to be consumed with politics and protest

It's pretty cool: they fire up the transmitters almost every Saturday. I had the pleasure of eating Danish with them in The Church of the Continuous Wave on RCA plates in the old building in Bolinas. Reeks with history, and some pretty

Wait, oops - no GPS tracking? Um, that's the killer feature that makes Uber Uber. It's taxis with GPS.

Interesting, (I think) this is exactly the kind of app/service I was talking about with a taxi driver in Tahoe a month ago. It's a rural area with several small taxi companies, but none offer real-time info or the convenience of a

I still use GV daily, but only for voice -- it's basically my craigslist number. But it gets 4-5 spam calls a day. This varies greatly, and I block them regularly, but I wish I could just push a button and have it blocked while screen

I see that ?force=lite seems to enable this mode, but I have no indication of it in the hamburger menu. Anyone else seeing this? I'm currently on the Kindle web browser, and it definitely seems faster, but I can't tell want mode i

It's both: average inaccuracy, and adjusted earth spin.

I'm sure someone will point it out, but GPS doesn't use leap seconds. "Adding leap seconds is a waste of time" I see what you did there. And agree!
658.
by creeble 10y ago
A small point I missed that is covered in this article: leap seconds aren't added just because of the slowing of the Earth's rotation (as I've always explained it to others), but because atomic time is a few milliseconds per
