I'm starting to get annoyed with the way google translates pages based on my ip and then offers to translate them back based on my browser settings. This is sub-optimal.

I've used it on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu. The Ubuntu version is a little fiddly to get working because Ubuntu ships with a crippled ECC library.

Very similar, except that Skynet was a vast, distributed, self-aware intelligence controlling most of the worlds machines and Tribler is a file-sharing network. But they both run on computers ...

I think that if you just want to use the same setup as Tribler you can just directly use their code. What I'm interested in is separating and generalizing the various protocols involved rather than having them all knotted together.

Its not using a DHT, its a gossip based network. Its simpler and more resilient to random faults but uses more space and bandwidth. As far as I know there hasn't been much research into their resilience against systematic or malicious fault

Perhaps not, but it is certainly interesting to study. Its a mob where all the members are anonymous, that has no leaders and yet manages to coordinate fairly sophisticated digital attacks. I'd love to grab a sociologist or two and throw in

You can bootstrap as soon as you have one peer. The software is distributed with the addresses of 4 existing servers which are run by the Tribler guys to make this easier but even if they go down people can still send invitations to their f

Ocaml is simple, expressive and fast. While it suffers in terms of libaries and community support it makes a good systems language and is fantastic for expressing complex algorithms and data structures. If that doesn't interest you, try som

Thanks for the email though. Its always nice to have feedback and know that people are actually reading my articles.

I would like to see a 'Not interested in reading or writing' choice. Also, the 'other' choice is translated into what google assumes is my native language based on my ip. Which is entertaining.

If anything, 4chan is giving defenders of wikileaks a bad name. It's like when peaceful protests are invaded by hooligans intent only on starting fights and setting fire to cars.

Bear in mind that I have not one large corpus but ~8m short formulae. The filtering stage removes most of these in O(L log N + KL) time, where K is the number of results which match one or more fragments, N is the number of formulae and L i

I would love to give proper attribution for this algorithm, but I can't remember for the life of me where I found it. This is the 4th major redesign of the core search algorithm and the first that I've been happy with.
