And if you forbid that in perl and end up having query generation inside the stored procedure, what have you gained?

Possibly because it's patented. There was a dispute with Creative Labs about the method.

"Carrefous is now worth less on the market than their assets" Maybe equity value drop is predicting a drop in asset value?

Often managers are not brave enough to cope with a person with significant differences with respect to the team's culture. If you hire this person, you must be ready to deal with other managers and other team member's reaction. If they trus

IRC feels much closer to a bar, if you want to use this metaphor. A bar does not record people's discussion and keep it forever for all to see..

First the impact of a false prediction on a weather forecast is not as dangerous as that of a false prediction in default rates, second, even an erroneous weather forecast isn't too far from the observed weather.

There is an older (and I think better known, and possibly more interesting) case, that of the Facteur Cheval: - http://www.facteurcheval.com/ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Cheval He built a palace all on its own, with his ow

Cracking groups have as much of an incentive not to add viruses to executables than companies do. Their only worth is their fame and the status it procures them. Hurting it through delivering a botched product would erase years of work in b

Still, you can compare 60MB vs 2GB of RAM or ~512MB of gpu memory.

This is entirely unrelated. Module music is composed out of series of commands-events: Looping constructs exist, however there are no conditionals or creation of new structures (patterns in a module are not first class) These 140 chars pie

An index scales in proportion with the data it is indexing. The large size might produce more I/O and thus less than constant algorithmic complexity.

This also came to me as strange. It came to me that someone who is being rejected may not have good prospects in the future for succesful procreation. So having such individuals' nature turn self-destructive / aggressive will ensure he/she

Well it required quite a bit of internet support and hostile publicity for the case to move one bit. Which goes on to prove that the copyright laws by themselves weren't providing protection for Tempest.

That is exactly what "fluxus" (a software package which was linked to in an earlier hacker news post) does, with scheme.

My favorite example of that are "protothreads", stackless "threads" in C introduced by Adam Dunkel, and related with the contiki project. An implementation of the paper can be done in a 130 lines big header, and they conveniently replace st

Yet this has nothing to do with low latency. You can have a decent realtime preview with ~120ms latency, which I use as a limit for instantaneousness. Low-latency is good for performance, as in, for performing live. And that's it (Then agai

What a disappointing article! Only four piece of software mentioned. Of the four, only Audacity and Blender are really about working with Video and Audio. The rest are a format transcoder (Simple Theora Encoder) and a general purpose media

Audacity is clunky but gets the work done when it comes to simple editing. Not really indeed very good for a musician since it misses useful realtime feedback on effects, but for a Dad looking to record / edit / convert his vinyls into mp3s

Since the discussion is about toolset and compilers, it's worth noting that 4kb intros on windows platforms are nowadays built using a "compressing linker" called crinkler. Instead of compressing the binary code of the original executable a
