   Can't imagine Ruby is twice as fast as Python 2 and three times as fast as Python 3 right now. Can you share your code in a gist?

   Thanks for clarification. Lua is a lovely name, I'm sure she will appreciate that when she grows bigger, :)

   Haskell sounds to me a good name for a boy.

   I think I missed this tip, Lua would be a cool name too.

   I said we couldn't as this is a name for a programming language and everyone would think we named her after that (me being a programmer) I don't get why that is an issue. I actually named my daughter after Ruby, a beautiful female name AN

   This is one of a few products I wish we had cheap clones, priced at say less than $100, preferably in Android.

   Sounds like a 'Price Error' event. Thought Adobe was lightened up and started playing smart.

   Agreed. Though I was just pointing out the existence of the Mac way, which could be much more inefficient performance-wise due to the double hit of Rosetta and VMware Fusion.

    If you have vmware Fusion, you can install Snow Leopard within your Lion or Mountain Lion.

    It's called Oligopoly, which is much better than Monopoly, but still far from a competitive market.

    Steve Jobs did it to Apple Computers in 1997. Though admittedly that's a rare case.

    Very likely, it will be an underground world first. That will shield most of the radiation there.

    I suppose it's the latter. That number is pretty much hardware-specific, though it would give us a bit more details if they mentioned the hardware profile.

    For people searching for performance benchmarks like me, here are the numbers I dug around from the post ( http://geo.bitnames.com ) If you need less than 200 DNS lookups per second per DNS server the Perl version is fine and might be a l

    Out of curiosity, when the interviewer asks you to reverse a string in your language, say Ruby, are you supposed to use existing algorithms/methods built-in in that language, or to flip each character using a for-loop? In Ruby, it's really

    Thanks for the pointer. Was not aware of the existence of the Firefox Enterprise.

    Hats off to Google for pulling it off. Windows XP and IE6/7/8/9 must die. Though the way Chrome or latest Firefox automatically update themselves may cause IT support staff lots of sleepless nights. The old-school two/three year updating cy

    All ranks are biased. But I don't think four universities from UK can make into top 10. Cambridge and Oxford maybe, the other two not so much. Regarding the rankings from ARWU, I think Berkeley and Columbia is a bit too high on the list.

    I find the rankings from ARWU (a Shanghai-based institute) makes more sense. http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2012.html The Top ten universities listed there are 1 Harvard University 2 Stanford University 3 Massachusetts Institute of

    Wow, reminds me of the old days 'building the world' in FreeBSD. It took a few days on an old 386 box.

    Here is the solution I use in our production Rails apps (3.2.6). Add the following code snippet into your config/application.rb. config.after_initialize do # Reverse the deprecation of flush in BufferedLogger module Active

    You and jbattle do have a point that web stack is more accessible and easier to share the results. After playing with Robomind (a Java GUI app) last night, I did wish it were a web app.

    I respect the efforts the author put in to teach kids how to program. That being said, I really don't think HTML/Javascript is the right choice for kids. The web stack is even considered messy from professional web programers' perspective.

    Wow, reading this makes me wonder if a great deal of family doctors can be replaced by an expert system that can be assisted by a remote doctor in a centralized way. I call it 'Doctor in demand'

    May be a bit off topic. But I do notice that those people who are not tech-savvy or totally computer illiterate tend to use the term 'coder' a lot to refer to us who can program. Is there a subtle difference in meaning between a 'coder' and

    Absolutely, especially for those who do network programming under Unix/Linux. Combined with lsof, it can help a lot in troubleshooting issues such as deadlocks.
