What would that static ram device be, and how would you scale it out?

Where do you draw the line? The bigger businesses create more jobs and do more for the economy, and even with the lower percentage they leverage in return for this, they are responsible for the majority of actual tax dollars taken in. If i

You mean smaller businesses that create fewer jobs?

Taking a wealthy friend as an example, and watching how many jobs he's created, how many charities he's created, and how many lives he's changed - plus the sheer raw numbers of dollars he paid in taxes on top of all that - I don't really ca

While I'm not arguing the system is perfectly fair - those large corporations also create jobs, and pay a huge amount of tax in raw numbers. People look at the percentages and say "Ohh look how they cheat...." - but look at the raw figures

I'm late to the thread - but along with all the good advice here, my advice would be "don't actually trade any REAL money for the next 5 or 6 years, just sock your cash away in safe banks and currencies". Practice, study, try out your alg

That highlights a fundamental error many people make - you can't average percentages. A graph of an index fund on a percentage basis for the last 20 years tells you nothing useful (at least not directly).

Who decided on that obligation, and was it agreed to beforehand? Sounds like something the partners have to discuss and work out.

Because we have the internet, and most books with "Sysadmin" anywhere in the title are garbage beyond entry-level. There are a few gems out there about system engineering and longer-term good practices, but anything else is a waste of time.

That's a great question, and one that it's hard to find a clear answer to - and it's exactly the kind of thing that deters n00b programmers from jumping on the language. I want to learn clojure, I don't really grok Java, and I'm not sure

by dedward 16y ago
While true - Clojure,with it's java dependencies, is a good few notches harder to figure out by brute force - or at least it feels that way. I picked up Ruby basics in a weekend of hacking around. I know there are still some things to fi

I suppose some details would be appropriate.... I'm dealing with a suite of what used to be plain-old websites that slowly, over time, started to gain functionality. PHP crept in there (just for includes) - the web team went from one pers

That's about it - Python has a richer, more refined set of libraries to call on than Ruby. (Ruby also has a ton...) Ruby is more fun,but python is more mature. In the end - whatever gets the job done right?

Thank you - very concise and will help me personally in a current initiative to drive some points home!

Hypothetically... The memo would certainly kill morale at most places I've been. The corrective actions being asked for are completely wrong.. but this is aimed at middle management. Read the beginning of the memo - not the end. If the pa

And we used to say prototype in C++ and then re-implement in C to make it fast in production. The math and the algorithms are important - but one shouldn't dismiss a fundamental understanding of the lower levels of the system - even though

by dedward 16y ago
Speaking from the systems side of things - it's plainly obvious when you get a piece of software where the developers don't understand the system level at all - it's obvious they only understand things at an abstract, programming level, and

I'd like to use this for corporate use - but if that means data will be stored offsite somewhere where I don't have control over it - that's a problem. If I could deploy a server at work, and use similar features but be sure about what's h

Your eyes are sensitive to those areas in different amounts - while it looks like there is a lot more space to expand towards cyan - you probably wouldn't notice it as much as the extra R+G pop you're going to get with the added yellow.

You cannot get back information - no, although you can artificially guess and make something that looks better in some situations. But just because you recorded in one RGB space doesn't mean the particular display you are using can reproduc

Compliance with a published API doens't mean it's a derived work. While it obviously can't be distributed with the mainline kernel due to licencing issues, it can be distributed standalone to work with Linux, or any other hypothetical syste

Sure - employers pad out job openings a bit - but man, people will shotgun-apply for jobs that they are very clearly, to anyone reading the job description, by no stretch of the imagination qualified for. I'm not talking about ridiculous
