Pretty scary if this is considered difficult. I actually had to redo my math's exam in high-school, so I'm trying to be nuanced here, but really, this question should be doable, at least in the Netherlands, when you're 14-15y

So if the environment is broken, or at least subpar when it comes to functionality, you "fix" the application?

You just got to love this sentence: "Watch high-definition 1080p streams on Amazon Video, Netflix, Hulu and more, even without a 4K TV." OMG, this is so great!

Somehow I can never grasp RINA. John Day, one of RINA's proponents usually blames TCP for being fundamentally broken. Ive yet to see a working stack

so, side channel analysis? Or am I missing the point?

Heard it all before somewhere, sparsely. But I'd definitely recommend others, new to optimization, to look at this.

I get 40+ with FF on an ancient nvidia 9600gt on Linux. Only changes in config I have: layers.acceleration.force-enabled=true layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled=true

You think we'd be better off with Python, a non-typed language against a typed language? Really, I like Python, but speed as well as typing is lacking. I'm glad we have both languages.

Now, only if X actually worked when you want it to run in a data center and see it on your laptop. X is horrible when the latency goes above 5ms.

don't wear short sleeved buttoned shirts, that's a bigger nono than wearing a tie without jacket.

A lot of people want to use powerful tools but want it through an iPad-ish interface. If I'm using a space-rocket to get to the moon, I'm certainly going to learn how this shit is working and not fooling myself that if I just know

It's not that simple, when you look at those architectures like AMD's fusion platform, the differences of latencies and bandwidth play a huge role, making it a much more nuanced story. One of the papers showing this: http:/&

Yep, but the company wanted to have everything in-house, because that's safer right? /sarcasm

Love that paper, though the better-approach section was not as pragmatically explained as the problem's section. I'll raise a glass to him as soon as I'm having a drink with fellow hackers somewhere.

When I bought my macbook 2 years ago I was wowed with non-buggyness of everything compared to my linux (ubuntu) workstation. I like my workstation and still use it, but the macbook was an experience in which almost everything made sense e.g

The first graph is already misleading, it's the graph about linpack. It shows that linpack is halved in performance in KVM, the explanation: ".. unless the system topology is faithfully carried forth into the virtualized environme

Happens to be that Scala is Erik's favorite as well. I must say that the article has a completely different tone than when you'd talk to him personally, though he likes to talk in extremes and only afterwards talks about what is p

Excellent example of the lawyer's defense patent. I'm often in discussion with engineers from other fields taking patents as some holy grail. I now have some ammo to show that patents are not a generalized solution. I do have one

So.. the author is focusing on metrics - the memory usage. Basicly what's being done is release the caching sooner. Well what if a user's usecase scenario is such that he's looking at 2 pages after another a few times which h

"What you see is what you get". Great! - however it assumes that your audience is using the same media presenter, e.g. use Word to depict an A4 and you print an A4. What if I want it as a webpage as well, do I have to type it twic

Oh yes, wonderful book sofar, only started recently. The mini assignments are great and I get a small smile if I have one correct in one go, only to be completely cranky if I don't get one. Absolute recommend-er for AI people, linguis

supreme commander 1/2, through a software engineer/programmer's glasses, the mentioned games are horrible (especially SC1) because the longer you play the worse it gets with the games' simulation performance.

I looked at this, but it seems horrible? Why is everybody enthusiastic for this ;)
