I'm not sure what you mean. Cutting and faceting precious stones is a manufacturing step in the production of gems of the quality needed for jewelry. It seems like a reasonable metaphor for finishing and releasing something called a &q

The author/editor's definition of "impossible" is very loose. It was an "impossible material" because they did not know how to make it, not because they believed it couldn't exist.

Reusing the VM terminology "host" and "guest" would have made it clear for me. Does it include a zero-copy network driver?

I am still a little confused. Is CoreOS designed to be used inside a container, or as a host OS to other containers?

No. It sounds like you are very angry and there is nothing you can do about it. So, you can either play the long game of finding a different outlet for your creative energy, or find a different job. If the employer is large enough, then tra

Judging from the mentioned 2011 paper [0], it makes everything smell like CO2 to the mosquito. So, it can't track anything at "long" distances. While DEET works by neurologically making things "smell different" [1].

I usually like to read the methodologies on studies that cover online behavior before I consider their results, but I can't in this case because of a paywall. Does anyone have a link to the full text of the study?

From their blog post about window controls [0], it sounds like they are taking the iOS approach to application close / minimize, but I can't find any technical description of how they plan to accomplish that without forcing applic

You don't need turing completeness to be a compilation target, but you have the right idea with additional javascript. For a box-glue model, similar to Latex, you would have to make some adjustments when resizing. The generated code mi

People compile languages with completely different ideologies to the JS object system, so why not compile a better layout model to the CSS box model. The CSS box model is going to be with web development, in it's current form, for at l

I don't understand your position on lists. In Clojure, lists, vectors, and other collections are unified under the Seq abstraction. To me, they are all the same, until I need some specific behavior or performance characteristic.

I'm happy for bitcoin, in general, but slightly fearful to see that now investment banks are potentially going to get involved. A group known to have the money, and experience, to game financial rules at will.

Without knowing your skills, interests, or background, any advice is going to be very generic. 1. Attend, and present at, local meetup / groups. 2. Find a "buddy" and collaborate on side projects. Keep them open source, and p

It would be more of a hybrid of those two methods. You print the large parts (even a micron is "large") into place, then let the cells grow the small connections we cannot reliably engineer, like planting a garden. All this remind

Just like when I see a CEO start taking away the free soda, I believe he saw this coming. With the amount of money, people, and secrecy put into these programs, eventual scandal was the only possible outcome. Now he has enough political cap

Adding unnecessary verbs to the standard does create problems, but having a few standard verbs and controlled customization is fantastic. The trouble with custom verbs, like you touched on, is the inability to advertise their contract. I wo

I wonder if that has more to do with the number of drivers passing it per day, the immediate response to the drivers actions, or an assumption that the signs take a picture anyway. I would assume people choosing to speed would not care abou

They cite three possible explanations: 1. Possible undesirable discrimination (no objective reason) 2. Self-employment might be a valid signal they would not “fit” in the organization 3. Entrepreneurs may lack skills that can only be gained
