   I think the difference is that in engineering you are legally obliged to follow this process and in software you are not. The leads to a race to the bottom for which both the software vendors and consumers are responsible. Everybody wants t

   Interestingly, car dealers in Germany usually require you to pay in cash. I think this is because getting ownership of a car (the keys and papers) has legal implications and so you need an atomic transaction.

   This sounds like a file system gateway like most object storage vendors have. Or did I miss something?

   I sometimes wonder: what will happen to Linux when there is no Linus Torvalds as a lead architect anymore? I just have an outsider perspective, but it seems that he still has to intervene every now and then to maintain a coherent architectu

   My 5 year old did a 25km tour on her bike this summer. Kids are very different, in both directions.

    Do multi-threaded workloads, which a lot of high performance workloads are, Java has also the potential to be faster than C++ due to garbage collection and threading aware optimizations it can make. Memory allocation, especially when memory

    Now working on my second parallel file system, I am still amazed how the (POSIX) file system interface has stood the test of time and has been reimplemented in so diverse forms, from local file systems to file systems that are essentially m

    There is also http://convert2mp3.net/ (from Germany). If I understand correctly, the reasoning is that a download is private copy, which is allowed in Germany, and can't be forbidden by the Youtube ToS. Unfortunately t

    I found Adwords for Domains a pretty questionable way to make money, as it subsidized the domain grabbing industry, and I find it hard to find the value for either advertisers or users that they otherwise claim for search ads.

    Not having to routinely verify my credit card or bank account statement with what would be easily over a hundred transactions per month saves me a lot of time and energy. With cash I know when I was robbed.

    For many people credit card payment also means: - verify statement at the end of the month. Which is annoying and time-consuming.

    We use cmake to output a ninja file and build with ninja. Result: awesome build speed as ninja knows how to parallelize across directories and targets while not overloading the system.

    That sounds Atom plugin specific. Do Atom plugins not run in some sort of Sandbox?

    Like everywhere else, it will be irrelevant in practice. But some lawyers made their career step. If some people would adhere to speed limits like they praise "drone regulations", the world would actually be safer.

    I am all for reducing noise in our environment. But you hardly hear my copters if a car or motorcycle passes. Most AC makes more noise. I don't understand this irrational phobia. Is the fact that it is flying triggering some deeper mec
