A contrarian option might be to target java code for the LLVM... don't know what that would achieve, but it may lead to interesting applications.

I've always felt that the JVM seems to be a bit of an outsider - where the CLR seems tightly integrated. Whether this is due to the startup time, the need to start apps by invoking "java ..." rather than directly, or some other factor, I'm

Any of the Millenium Prize Problems could equally have been appropriate (with the possible exception of the poincare conjecture), but most of these require deep mathematical knowledge. I would expect this problem to be accessible to most pe

I do believe the puzzle stated that the Random God would only flip his random coin once for the session - ie he would lie for the 1-3 questions put to him, or he would tell the truth - not flip the coin for each session. This is in fact qui

I think it is possible to "fight" everything you read, you'd end up reading much less, but would likely know (as in understand ) more. The challenge lies in sourcing the material you'd like to digest - so you should revisit your goals ever

I would guess that falls into the same category as Artur C Clarke's Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic The point is essentially moot - what can you / are you going to do about it?

Even were this true, you'll find they will work infinitely better than those lines not written by benevolent contributors working for free. This is where the rubber meets the road... getting paid is a surprisingly effective motivator for

That first statement kinda reminds me of Xanadu... (wonder if they're ever going to call it quits) The main problem with doing a sequel to a top-selling paradigm shift project is that the sequel by its very nature will not be able to repeat

I take that these comments would only appear to the poster? This means new users won't see these moderating comments / suggestions, hence may miss out on this education until it happens to them. How hard would it be to add a flag to each us

This can omit important discussion, as I do remember a couple of items discussing either an article or a new site where the author specifically created an account so they could contribute to the discussion. Account age has no bearing on the

And now we're entering an interesting new chapter in the travel industry. Hard to see useful reasons for sub-orbital flights as of yet (other than get from A to B with unique scenery, and "hey, look at how much money I have") but then again

It seems (to me) a good starting point for intelligence would be "the average person." Refining this definition would involve researching all relevant objective tests that can be measured accurately, then forming some sort of matrix of comp

I hope it's a trend other companies will be prepared to follow. Value the work methodology - not just the end product. In this case, the initial end product may not be needed by google, as it will most likely require a significant restructu

I suspect the "being smart" is in terms that the employer can relate to - do they think about things in the kind of depth that I like / appreciate / can work with. From my personal experience, I've dealt with smart people and smart people -

Having just re-read the article, I can only come to the conclusion that it has editorial spin - I can't see how this can possibly reduce CO2 emissions, unless the charring releases enough useful fuel to supplant the original heat required,
