Excellent. Thank you.

Awesome. At the same time, it's yet another Google project which is just so massive in scope and resources that no one else will want to compete.

Of course it is reinventing the wheel. And people will continue to post ebullient posts about it until they start studying formal cs theory and stop mistaking the implementations details ("java gets closures! c# gets lambda expressions! new

from the bittorrent.com comments, a quote from a high-up at BT: Simon Morris Posted October 8, 2009 at 5:52 pm As a matter of fact µTP is indeed a replacement for TCP, so we think the name is appropriate. You can check out standardization

Latency based congestion control already exists for TCP[1]. So my question is, why wouldn't you get the same effect by running BT on top of a network stack using Vegas? Someone flash the tptacek signal! [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TC

When the Unicorn master starts, it loads our app into memory. As soon as it’s ready to serve requests it forks 16 workers. Those workers then select() on the socket, only serving requests they’re capable of handling. In this way the kernel

Love the title: Affine Mess Is there any higher form of humor than the math pun? I think not.

It happens. You can even serve legal notice "by publication". So if you can't track someone down and the judge approves it, it's perfectly legal to serve notice by posting an ad in the local newspaper (which of course the recipient will nev

Say what you will about social media, you have to admit it's a great forum for getting stories like this out there.

That's complete, and you'll have to pardon my language, bullshit. If you want to find deep meaning in a guy's lost temper, that's fine and your prerogative. If I sat at the foot of some exalted spiritual man for long enough seeking meaning

Wait, are you talking about the CEO shrieking "get out of my building and get out of my company"? That's not leadership, that's insanity and unmitigated disdain for his employees.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what happens if the sales don't cover the advance?

ATT's network is already ridiculously overloaded, not adding tethering yet is absolutely the right move.

He wants to put $xxK of his money into his developers in [third world country]... That is equal parts terrifying and awe-inspiring for its sheer brazenness.

Insurance companies are neither Good nor Evil. That's absurd. They're simply in the unenviable position of having to be the decision makers in the distribution of a scarce resource (health care). Saying the insurance companies are evil is n

And with one deft stroke you've just eliminated 98% of the CS-related content on the internet. Bravo!

So your role in all this is to defend his erroneous point?

You're absolutely right, I made a mistake. You were the one equating worth with a c-level position (which is unsubstantiated by the article) not the author. My apologies for the confusion.
953.
by dschobel 17y ago
That article hinges entirely on defining success as reaching a c-level position at a fortune 100. The diminishing presence of ivy leaguers could just as well indicate a shift in priorities by the kids or the fact that the really big money

The value is a function of the scarcity of the degree, the quality of the professors and the amount of resources. Since the last variable has gone up with no decrease in the scarcity there's more value for fewer people, proportionally, than

I think it may be obvious to people with a c/++ background, but when I was in school in the early 2000's, they taught you concurrent programming in Java via threads. And the concurrency primitives and frameworks in languages like Java and C

by dschobel 17y ago
Threads are out. You can use processes, or async/events, or both processes and async/events, but definitely not threads. Threads are out. Can anyone expound on this? Because the author certainly doesn't.

Well a dialer is just a number pad from where you dial numbers, no? Maybe I misunderstand the objection then.

Did Apple ever explain how the GV dialer was more prone to confusion with Apple's offering than the Skype/everyother voip app one?

In light of the Vonage app which was approved the other day, I don't see what possible objection ATT/Apple could have against the Google Voice application.

if we're talking about X the standard and not Xorg the implementation, shouldn't the former be the grand unifying vision?
