Correct. But that's the point. The award was given to them as individuals, not to the entire team, which to my count is at least 25. Why can't a team earn it? And if you were to ask those recipients, I can almost guarantee that th

Doug, Marvin, Seymour and now Bob. All my heroes are passing away. Mainly Alan is left holding the torch. We lost a giant. For all the bs in the valley about changing the world, here's a man that truly did it. And to the ACM - you shou

I've dropped breakfast for about a month now and I feel so much better. I'm eating a heavy lunch and then dinner. Lost weight and it wasn't on purpose. As a result I've been questioning a lot of our norms. Not only when

I'll bite... The mere term "fan" implies a polarizing view which separates one from the other. In this particular case, Apple's fan base is reinforced by 30+ years of what appears to be "human centered design."

Coroutines and fibers in general, regardless of the language avoid the "pyramid callback" that can - depending on the developer - in spaghetti code. Lua on its own right, is a bit special. Fast, small, easy syntax - almost similar to Javas

Fibers take care of the "callback pyramid of doom" and makes it easier to write thick logic layers. However, it still would have the fairness and starvation issues that Node has with callbacks. It's still single-threaded and non-preemptiv

I wish I had access to Mayor Bloomberg on this one. This entire pilot has been surrounded by mysticism. How many companies were allowed to bid for this "pilot"? Why will it take 5 years to mimic what other countries have done already? Why

Here's another Youtube video I found. This one running ICS instead of the older version from the previous video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuYE_u19i44&feature=rela... This one is in Spanish, but you can see the FPS performance

Nice. Is there anything like this for tablets? iPad or Android would be helpful. Thanks

"So OO is not a well defined concept." Hmmm, last I checked OO was pretty well defined. The implementations of so-called OO languages, on the other hand, that's another story. If Jonathan or Paul have any doubts on the concept as it was or

At 8:48 AM I placed my order. I want to be able to tell others in the future, that I was one of the first to partake on the shift from laptops to tablets. There's no doubt that this or some other device like it, will replace laptops in th

Verizon has backtracked on the issue. It was just a "proposal" for discussion. Sure... Here's the latest directly from the horse's mouth: "As Verizon Wireless continues to review the competitive marketplace, we constantly work to provide

You have to love these guys that wake up one morning and decide coin a name to what occurred last week as if it was an era. I wouldn't call Dodgeball an example of Mobile Social Web 1.0. If anything, we're in the really, really early stag
