Pundit and research scientist are different roles, however. Yes, his punditry may be more informed than most other's, but the lines would be kept cleaner if the punditry didn't come out when formally addressing the research. It&

I don't think correlation means what you think it means.

I hate when these researchers don't stick to the rationally implied conclusions. "We see no correlation" is the rationally implied conclusion of the research. "Maybe it's affluence" is not science, at that po

There is, however, a significant correlation between meat eating (or more specifically protein consumption) and muscularity. If you corrected for exercise in the right way you would still see this correlation (a naive approach would remove

Don't get me wrong, the guys at Sun were quality geeks, and they never set out to create the Corporate Back End Language of record. But that's how it gained its huge head of steam. Another reason I failed to mention that Java is

Java may not be dying, but it does take off early on Fridays for golf. Java is not dying the same way Cobol was not dying 10 years ago. It has a lot of legs left but nobody is 'hoping' to use it, they are told to do so. Java is a

This is a misunderstand intentionally propagated by the 'treatment' system. Sure there are plenty of factors that can play into a pre-disposition, but it is the act or the chemicals that begin a physical re-wiring of the brain.

It is clearer, but uses a fixed number of arguments, so may be unsuitable for some applications.

I think the obvious reason for Backbone and larger teams is that larger teams are more likely to be working on projects that have been around "a while" (being defined as say, more than a year). A year ago, Backbone was clearly a

Google may have just won the game, with an infinitely more simple approach than Apple TV, Xbox, and PS. What disruption is all about. Not a Google fan boy, but bravo.

"This behavior is endemic for the self-righteous security 'researcher' scene" Yes, and that behavior is moving us to a world where corporations have to be careful what they put out, not just rush the newest shiny feature

If it truly was same day, I agree, that changes everything. I'll wait until more information comes out to decide.

That probably wouldn't have shut down the site, which in turn would not have gotten the attention. He wasn't making a point to Apple, who already knew the bugs existed, he was making Apple do something about it. He did.

"the same net number of particles has to pass through each point" Agreed: the corollary to the "the sparse particles just in front of the dense ones" is the "sparse ones just behind the next wave of dense ones"

No, that would be a mechanic to provide thrust, which is not what he was describing.

by jasallen 13y ago
Relative to the frame of reference, it seems to me the sparse particles would be travelling closer to the speed of the craft than the dense particles. The "density front" travels at exactly the speed of sound, but it consists of n

I actually agree with him on the term "professionalism", and I've come out against the term "maturity" for the same reasons. That said, Linus is a jerk. He says things that are aimed to hurt people. It's one

I think this shows incredible insight for a 18 or 19 year old. Going against the grain will certainly provide more resistance, but if she moved that way after this speech, I think she's already an 'artist', at least in the S

I really like this article. It looks at a severe problem (that traditional education is only reaching a small fraction of the students 'smart' enough to excel) and it suggests both a new way at looking at the problem (at least on

So, lets cut the BS here. He's never compared himself to those people. It is obvious, he's talking to the vast majority of other people in "safe,rich areas", who also don't have sick parents, disabilities, etc.

This idea of "growing up" and following that prescription is also embodied in the misuse of the word 'maturity'. The word is used as a weapon to keep people from doing anything but 'what you're supposed to do&
