In entrepreneurial circles, MVP commonly stands for Minimum Viable Product. This is the smallest set of features your product needs to be viable as a business.

It seems to me that labs at Berkeley always gets a pass when it comes to vastly overstating the significance of their work. This is so far from actually reading the visual data from the brain that even mentioning the future of reading memor

I believe that people who are interested in the subject matter, rather than the Neo4j & Gremlin implementation, would be better served reading the excellent book: Programming Collective Intelligence ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/97

Most of this is true, but I hate to have people continue to give hungarian notation a bad name when idiomatic use of it is quite a lot better than the naïve use of it decried here. As an aside, do any other Haskell hackers find that single

I thought we were past this stage? Honestly, I think Linux is established enough that this won't be an issue. See the CR-48 from google.

Except that it isn't an operating system. It's more like an HTML5 window manager that runs in a web browser.

Oh, good, now I can't just ignore IE users when making rich HTML5 apps. Thanks, Microsoft.

I'll certainly pay. It's a lot cheaper than the paper subscription and Boston.com has a horribly design.

Er, um...he was suggesting you learn the difference, but I think you simply did not read the article carefully enough. The statistics are not misleading, as the article properly uses the median, not the mean.

I bought and read this some time ago. If anyone is interested in the book, I would warn that if you're well versed in language design on an academic level there is nothing new for you here. The book is very focused on "patterns of DSLs", wh

Sony's high end VAIO laptops have always surpassed Apple in build quality, and matched them in design, from the 505 to the R505, TZ and current Z series. I have a VAIO from 2002 that still runs well and the Z series is better than a macboo

I believe you'd have to turn to science fiction writing these days. Well, that or the futurist movement. But for the most part, I think the public has lost its thirst for knowledge about the far off future. We're much more of a "want it now

A design problem could be motivated by the need to save space (and even 2 bytes per row would save google a lot of database space). Even google doesn't have infinite storage, and there's always going to be a real limit somewhere.

It bothers the computer scientist in me that they set an artificial number as a contact limit. 2^16? Okay, they made a design decision that is problematic. But 10000? Obviously someone set an arbitrary limit based on their expert opinion ab

That's odd, I seem to recall Intel, AMD and IBM having major chip fabs in the US, Germany and Israel. Or are you talking about something different (I don't know much about mask steppers)?

This post is full of spurious reasoning. Haskell's monads are mainly (ignoring the specifics of IO) syntactic sugar for a series of lambdas akin to a series of asynchronous functions linked via callbacks. While I get that this can be hard t

Five years ago I would have been eagerly anticipating this, but I can't really get excited anymore. USB3 has probably already won, and while I love the idea of monitors and other devices all using the same port, I don't think it will be eno

Also worth mentioning is BSDDB. Sometimes you don't want to bother with SQL and BSDDB is always there for you :).

Thanks for posting this! Now I finally know why some important texts from business associates never arrived. I really can't believe this bug made it through to production. Why would carriers accept software with this kind of bug? I know I w

Yes, I'm aware of that. I've been using mod_wsgi since modpython was the recommended way for deploying with Django. The problem is that when you're running a high number of Django instances (via a large number of daemons) you can get all so

I held out. As much as I like dead tree CS books, lugging relevant ones around has become too much of a pain. Add to that the awesome offer from O'Reilly for $5 ebook versions of books you already own, and the ipad becomes irresistible to m

This looks nice, but I have to be honest...I'm not going to switch from the version of fabric I use to this. Why? Even though I do have to deploy to more than 30 hosts at once, the thought of the time that would need to be spent verifying t

I actually find it astonishing that they're using Apache for this. I have had a lot of problems with Apache behaving weirdly in the past, especially with mod_wsgi.
