The real estate signs made sense to me, because if you're interested you'd probably snap a photo of the sign anyway to remember the address and agent. But I don't get why you'd make your customers scan a code in your store -- they're alread

Reading the three main boxes, I had no idea what you were talking about. 1. "We manage your events..." : Ok, so it helps me plan parties and meet-ups and stuff? Facebook, Twitter, Gmail icons : Right, these must be how I can manage invita

Nice. I checked, and the source to the restore tool has been updated too: https://github.com/sreitshamer/arq_restore (I haven't run a test restore with it yet, though.)

It's 3am and I've been drinking, but this seems feasible: When the user changes their password, encrypt the old password with a key derived from the new one (you have both in plaintext at this point, when entering old/new passwords). Then h

Not that this matters, though, because ARC and non-ARC code can call each other.

Sounds like speculation to me.

Right. So it is sarcastic. I guess I should have checked first. http://matthias.benkard.de/

I'm not sure if this is sarcastic or not. (with-open-file (file "test.txt" :direction :output) (print "hello" file)) > This might open a file called “test.txt” and write “hello” into it—or it might reformat your hard drive!

Unblockable? No, you'd block them just as you block JPEG and GIF banners (and crappy iframes) now.

Ah, I was confused, but now understand. The Computer History Museum has a Difference Engine which calculates polynomials. The Analytical Engine has an ALU and control flow, and is Turing-complete. The first Turing-complete device, in fact.

I think you parsed it as: We created subscriptions for publishing (the following): apps, not SaaS apps. Whereas the rest of us see it as: We created subscriptions for [publishing apps] (apps by content publishers), not [SaaS apps].

I expect his mail is heavily triaged / filtered by a secretary or assistant, so it'd be quite manageable on a phone or whatnot.

Argh, can we please stop using exponentially recursive Fibonacci as an example to parallelize? Because using a linear (or even constant-time) algorithm makes it moot. How about a big parallel mergesort or something?

Yes, but the problem is that it's just one approach out of many, so when using other libraries and APIs, you have no consistency. (For example, you'll have to wrap their classes in your refcounting scheme, and unwrap when passing them back

The main goal of the high-ranking templates seems to be to add links to specific sites (to boost their PageRank). Those links are unobfuscated for the search bots, with the encoded JS serving to replace them for humans. So mortenjorck's sug

There was a session at WWDC 2009 given by a couple of Intel engineers comparing the two. (Session 131, if you have access.) In their benchmark - parallel pipelined face detection - they were within about 1% of each other. GCD scaled up to m
