I though the same when I first saw Jiro (and was amazed by the passion), but I couldn't shake the feeling that I had just watched an 80 min advertisement for his family. Most of the reputation, and thus success, of a restaurant, in a p

After using Clojure for a while, i've found that some of the ideas from OO still apply to larger systems. It just happens that most programs, because of the functional programming style, dynamic typing, and Clojure's abstractions,

The author answered that criticism in the comments to the Reddit post. > And you're right, I don't know and it's probable that they left something else. I'll probably need to nuke the server and rebuild, but I wanted

I believe you are speaking past my point. The total size, in number of people employed, does not directly relate to capability. The US government can do with 10 people, what previously required 100 or 1,000 people in the recent past. Total

> That may be, but the US government certainly is large. I believe you have equated size with capability/control, which is a fallacy. Size allows for capability, but neither, of the two, can be causally linked. The US government can

This is a great step forward. But, I am still hoping for a local OpenFlow compatible software switch, that can exploit network namespaces as a local optimization. That way you can leave your cluster's networking setup, from network edg

There was a press review back in 2012 of the Tesla Model X, by CNet [1], that explicitly stated, at about the 2 minute mark, that the rear-view cameras may or may not make it into production. I may not agree with the design choice, but I se

There are also reasons they stopped using it in the first place[1]: Some problems with this method were that the receiver could be triggered accidentally by naturally occurring noises, and some people could hear the piercing ultrasonic sign

Neat, but I don't see a way to specify the cluster layout of services. For instance, setting up a cluster of two "web" and two "redis" on two different servers. It would be even nicer if it was a service that watche

This might be interesting for positioning radiation targets without support structures. I wonder how well this would work at high-pressures or in liquids.

I think you have highlighted an important distinction. Online learning opens the door to a large number of students, with an even larger number of reasons for taking/missing the courses. (Subject awareness, knowledge, credentialing, ma

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.[1] Wantrepreneurs are "wannabe entrepreneurs", in the same sense that wanksters are "wannabe gangsters". Someone is saying you want to be seen as

I disagree with Urban Dictionary[1] on that definition. An entrepreneur who is trying to succeed, but has not, is just an unsuccessful entrepreneur. The negative context is what embodies the "wannabe" in "wantrepreneur",
