   I mean, more like light coming from the back through the LCD screen into your eyes, unlike transreflective LCDs. One needs a white tent pitched behind the laptop screen, and one needs to sit facing the sun. You'd be looking into the space

   LCDs are supposed to be transparent. What would be cool is if I could have a sun-powered backlight for my laptop when I want to use it outdoors.

   When Stallman says "free software is an ethical imperative, because only free software respects the users' freedom", is he saying that I don't have the freedom to create closed source software for my own benefit? Is he saying that I'm not r

   Any contained problem will benefit will from TDD given that the code will be revisited by others and yourself later in time. For a startup testing hypotheses, this is rarely the case and most code will end up in the junkyard.

   Are you really saying that one can't enjoy the act of protesting? "Pirating" music is as much an act of protest as it does satisfy. In fact, it doubles the enjoyment whilst filesharing is considered illegal, and triples it when you tell the

   The other day I was at Bourbon and Branch in San Francisco, a bar designed and run like a 20's era speakeasy when alcohol was illegal. Can you imagine living in a world where the government, no, puritans, dictated what you can or cannot bre

    Why is maze generation so interesting to people? I'm trying to read between the links.

    This makes me more hopeful of getting a response from other beings. Perhaps we're not so alone after all. Relax, it's PhysEx.

    In other news, Google has finally figured out why their search result quality has been steadily declining but won't comment on the specifics.

    Partly submitted because the parking ticket situation in SF royally pisses me off, and also because the website is cool. We need more local government, and websites can help us with that.

    Anybody think maybe Facebook got pwn'd by GS? As in, maybe Facebook's financials aren't that great and they wanted the GS money. GS offers a deal with the mock-promise that they'll deliver a special vehicle to get around the 500 IPO rule, w

    Is it even possible to bring this figure down to $0?

    by jaekwon 16y ago

    In the movie, the figure quoted was 22.000 hits, so 3 pages per second. Which is reasonably serviceable but still high for a new site.

    If I create an open platform where you can run your own server/bot, would you want to participate? Does this not already exist?

    For any given Haskell Compiler I would think that I can construct a program where the Haskell Compiler won't be able to determine, in polynomial time, whether the list has length 0 or not.

    I don't know why you ask that. Are you suggesting that it is difficult to determine whether a statement is ambiguous or not?
26. 566.▲
    by jaekwon 16y ago

    Solvable if the compiler can initiate an intelligent conversation. Like, "What you said is ambiguous. Did you mean? ..."

    I've thought about this, and concluded that this is a not a problem with a core programming problem that I can tackle as a lone programmer. That said, I think this is worth pursuing. What part do you want to work on?

    Of course you have to subscribe to the idea that this safety and verification is something that's good and superior. I do. Why is it superior? I've always believed that a superior language is one that is as close to natural l

    Sources? I've always assumed that the bots are as good as the pros now even at high stakes. Haven't there been prized competitions where the bots beat the pros some years?
