I'm still waiting for my TP to be shipped. Can you update to the latest 3.0.2 and overclock to 1.5Ghz or 1.7Ghz and re-run the benchmark? That seems to be the norm from what I read in forums these days. Would like to know how TP perform in

Maybe I am wrong. I thought you can create a LLC in the states via those shell companies. Then you can sell apps via the LLC?

Didn't mean to bring in an iphone vs android battle here. But I'm curious to know the reason why the author targets at Android rather than iphone. There seems to be a concensus that iphone users are more willing to pay for apps. Does that m

I see utter incompetency in the management lack of planning and leadership. Though the hacker inside me find it a good opportunity to practice compiler theories, say, write a compiler to translate modern languages to Cobol, just like Coffee

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. My point was that their Rails implementation may not be well written, i.e., not architect-ed properly since beginning. You cannot simply throw a few tables and scaffolds and hope it scale. That way may work

I find with ruby I constantly run into performance bottlenecks and need to revert to optimization that I would not have to do on other platforms. Agree. Ruby tends to be more likely to be CPU-bound than other languages. That demands a mor

Depends on the traffic you need to work with. I've kept an eye on Node.js for some time. So far, among the failures involved with Node.js are Plurk and SyncPad. Plurk switched to JBoss Netty, while SyncPad used Erlang instead. Though that w

I don't see anything wrong with it. CoffeeScript to JavaScript is like C to Assembly, much more superior. You can strive to excel at Assembly does not mean you have to. Programmers should dedicate their time to solve real-world problems ins

Not a Node.js expert myself. But, maybe you can put a cluster of Node.js instances behind a load-balancer like Nginx?

One reason was scale... The improvements the team saw were staggering. They went from running 15 servers with 15 instances (virtual servers) on each physical machine, to just four instances that can handle double the traffic. The capacity

The Kaleidoscope language reminds me of the hoc language. In Chapter 8 of the book "The Unix Programming Environment", Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike used hoc as an example to demonstrate how to use yacc, lex, and make to develop a compiler.

The 297 loc for scala pro is from the paper that also includes 13 lines of Apache license stuff on the top and 14 lines of comments. The author used "wc -l" to count the LOC, that's not very scientific anyway. The 626 loc for python is also

by cygwin98 15y ago
I was surprised by the fact that the Python version has 626 lines of code, compared to 297 to the Scala Pro. As Python is supposed to be more expressive, I was expecting something like 150ish LOC for Python. Edit: The Python version can be

You know what, every time I hear such an excuse, I can't help thinking: well, why not a github for those laws. At least, we can "diff" them and follow up with who actually submitted the "patch". At least in that way we have certain accounta

My issue with this approach is that those senators or whatever level of representatives won't be punished by doing so. A common technique I observed these years is that they will initially propose a shooting-for-moon bill/bylaws/regulations

I used to have a rosy glass over democracy as I came from China. However, news like this really pissed me off. A lot of those representatives are not working for the people who voted them, but rather the big corporates or whichever lobby gr

Nice approach. Remind me of the OfficePod [1] discussed at HN [2] about one year ago. The used trailer is much more affordable (less than $1000?) than the OfficePod, which costs a whopping 25K. [1] http://www.officepod.co.uk [2] http://n

Maybe I'm picking a nit here. But even a single core processor can do multi-tasking, that's what a modern OS such as Windows and Linux is doing. In your case, it could be caused by many factors. One possible reason is that your task switch

I have a theory that showing comment scores benefits each individual member, especially lurkers (myself included); on the contrary, hiding them will be good for the HN community in the long run, however, each of us will have to sacrifice a

In the article, the author also used terms like "reprogramming". That sounds very 'geeky' to me. It feels like this: we can imagine those scientists were computer programmers, those skin cells are the instances of a certain SkinCell class (

Not exactly the ascii art I expected. But still very cool anyway. Also, it would be great, if someone implements figlet[1] using html5. [1] www.figlet.org
