What three important traits? If you're talking of "inheritance, abstraction, and polymorphism" that you've mentioned, then I'd like to observe that inheritance is orthogonal to OOP, abstraction is essentially name

"but it is far from a failure" CS-wise (and design-wise), it's very much a failure. It's a market success, though - just like VHS was, many years ago. ;-)

It's quite obvious from your very own quote that it's the author of the article who's confused about the three (!) different notions of unindexable contents larger that the indexable one (deep web) vs. anonymous p2p file shar

Except that, most creative ideas are bad. If you never fail, you're not trying hard enough to do stuff that's appropriately difficult for you.

The issue here (and my reaction was pertaining to that) is that no number of hardware replacements will make the problem go away. The solution is to use hardware that can't be infected in this way. If an OS can infect the firmware in

This kind of hidden text seems trivial to exclude. Does the phrase being searched occur in a parseable sentence? If not, penalize the result. Also, it's trivial to deduce that the text doesn't display; that alone should make it ex

Go is a language. There's no problem with dynamic loading as such; it's just that the primary implementation uses static linking for convenience. You'd simply have to write a dynamically loading runtime (and come up with some

...which is of zero importance to the primary users of Go, i.e., Google, as they have a unified code base. But nobody prevents the Gccgo people from implementing their implementation differently. (It's just that for Google, this is rea

Why not 3D, in fact, if it had accelerometers and gyroscopes? Just throw it at around 45 degrees of elevation, capture photos during flight at a few fps, and post-process the results for a 3D scene reconstruction. (You'd have to design

If you combine fixed-point arithmetics, tiled memory access patterns, asm.js, and dynamic image processing pipeline compilation (the way that, for example, VirtualDub did it), you'll probably discover that the "slow single-threade

No, but I don't see any flaw in that design. Indeed, it seems like the case of Hoare's "obviously no deficiencies" in a system design. I believe that the GreenArrays people, setting aside the $450 dev board, also had som
