Does anybody know what is the state of unums? That thing pop up on HN every now and then, but I still can't see it in practice. It is definitely something promising. Is there any development going on to employ this theory in practice?

In the same way as you upgrade library you can just upgrade your software...

Spot on. I was always puzzled why some software just can't come statically compiled. I suppose not all apps can be distributed like that, but most of them can. I can't even remember how many hours I wasted on trying to compile a n

I'ts funny with WebRTC, because I rememeber when the same could be accomplish with Java applets (Java ignored any proxy settings, which allowed to deanonynimize people on the internet, e.g. it no longer mattered if you were behind TOR

This has been known for some time (and proven with some good examples) but still is a shock to people who believed somewhere in '90 that the next stage in the economy is the shift to services instead of industry. I recommend this book

This is scary. Although we believe that an intelligent person would probably distinguish most social media manipulations, I think that we fall into the trap of deceptions more than we think we do. I wonder if there is some sort of study on

I don't think it is a programmer error. Many times when you program against some less reliable API or doing some network stuff the variety of exceptional situations can be really overwhelming. Such exceptions can be some sort of sink t

Linkedin has become a creepy social network, with those hundreds of headhunters trying to build their database and mostly spamming you with worse and worse offers, with those creepy notifications that "somebody has visited your profile

That's why there are proposals for immutable and distributed packages managers. Look at gx for instance. This is probably the future for package managers maintained by community.

While in general I agree with the article I must admit that I also strongly DISAGREE with the overall message. Especially with this: "Finally, stringing APIs together and calling it programming doesn’t make it programming." String

I would also say that interviewing is hard because we have limited time to decide upon each person and what we judge is (apart from some technical qualities) not what kind of person really is but rather what we believe the person is (based

BTW. here's the list of CRAN packages they claim they can already run (i suppose install and run, maybe not yet tested). Anyway this is impressive: https://bitbucket.org/allr/fastr/src/dcae74ecaaf3291f93a

This is something I'm looking forward to in Java 9. There is already a big effort in bringing R language to the JVM (google for project fastr on bitbucket) and it might be just a beginning. It might finally bring the interoperability b

The excellence of Diablo lies in the atmosphere of the game. I think it is one of the best games in terms of the overall atmosphere and that general feel of play. All the pieces work perfectly together to deliver this unique sensation while

I didn't know that people are still making games for C64! That must be a great deal of hacking! I think I will spend this weekend with C64 emulator, playing this game, recalling good old times...

It seems that the demo has some problem with Firefox browser. I couldn't make it work :( UPDATE: Ok it works fine. probably it was not a browser problem but the demo in general. Anyway it looks impressive!

I don't see how OAuth could mitigate the problem stated in the article. Once you allow some malucious app to your secret zone, it's done. Your data is now theirs. Doesn't matter if it was OAuth authorisation or you gave them

Is it a compiled bottle? I remember last time trying Rust I had to wait maybe half an ahour to compile everything. I think it was the time when servo was compiling their own version of Rust :)

If at some point of time you use hbase, using hadoop on top of that becomes a straightforward task. Both integrate very well with each other. But I think even without hadoop you can do. If the processing is relatively light (e.g. calculatin

First of all, 50GB per day is easy. Now, maybe contrary to what they say below, do the following: * Don't use queues. Use logs, such as Apache Kafka for example. It is unlikely to lose any data, and in case of some failure, the log wit

Skype on Linux is far inferior recently. Mostly due to the fact that the Linux version has been somehow abandoned. It haven't received updates since at least 1 year. For example, one recent change is that when someone sends a picture,

I've had one project where we evaluated P2P libraries for this kind of message exchange, and I remember that telehash was the most promising. The project however was finally abandonded :( I think today I would give IPFS a try.

"The right perspective, I would argue, is to embrace the benefits of technology and seek out new evaluation models that emphasize open, collaborative review by the community as a whole instead of closed pro forma review by two or three
