   As a small market pursuer, I had to say that a tiny market is different from tiny effort. I developed torapp guilloche designer ( http://www.torapp.info ) for security printing industry, which is definitely a tiny market. But it did not mea

   It discharges/charges much faster, that is all about the new battery. Discharging fast make it more possible to catch fire. Overall, it seems not very useful for smartphones.

   Thanks for your reply. But I have one more question, if I need to manage bank account, then the database must be consistent. Lets say that I just need to keep balance and social security number for the account, and only need to query the ba

   I am always wondering why no-sql has better performance than SQL if we have same simple use case (no join etc.). If the data is well structured and no join is needed, can I assume that relational database should have better performance than

   Yeah, I have the same bad feeling on asm.js. If we need c/c++=>llvm=>javascript/asm.js for performance reasons, then why not just embed llvm inside web brosers? Isn't it much easier, and much cleaner?

   Yeah, sometimes, using exception as control flow is the only simple and clear way. I do use it occasionally. ex. Lets assume that a problem can be attacked as algorithm1 (A1), and algorithm2 (A2). A1 is fast but cannot handle some corner ca

   MS becomes so hateful with the secure boot trying to control everything. I will never buy any machine with secure boot enabled and will boycott any MS product.

    I am surprised that node.js performs significantly better than python & pypy. Can anyone have some explanation?

    Without considering cache-miss, Red-black tree is much faster than B-tree. So this b-tree implementation must be tailored to cache-line size, and it may performs badly on some CPUs. The performance gain on the B-tree container is also large

    "over-engineered" is the right word for UEFI.

    Bios is outdated, but UEFI is even worse and became such a mess. It did not fix BIOS's issues and is unnecessary complicated. The efforts are regretfully wasted on UI.

    I did not see any reason to move to win8. We can use chrome/firefox for modern sites. Existing software on XP is more than enough to do anything. More bloated office 13? Thanks, there is no way that I will use it. If I want an easy life, Li

    I am expecting a clean linux mobile OS. Android's performance seems worse than iOS with its java implementation.

    If it is native-client, then it doesnot need to install. Why not just give us an url? I do not want this extension to pollute my chromium.

    My humble opinion: Scripting languages like python do have merits. As a 20+ years C++ programmer, I sadly found there seems no scenarios that C++ can play very well. Compared to C, C++ projects are much harder to maintain. Whenever C++ shou

    Lyx does not have pager and its realtime layout engine is worse than word.

    Yes. It is basically a word processor with realtime latex layout algorithm.

    Ask: word processor with latex algorithm viable?

    Thanks for replying. It seems GO is not for me at least now. What I want is an optional strong typed script language with highest performance. Lisp serves me well here. I have only three real things to care about a language: 1. Performance

    I am C and lisp fan and think OOP as non-sense. I used python a bit but hate its performance. Can I still get something from Go that can not be provided by C and lisp? Does go provide great flexibility by C and lisp? BTW, I think emacs is t

    I love to see a real linux on smartphone. But what's the graphics system? Definitely, it should not be X since X is too complicated. Is it wayland?
