I was talking about the WiFi bandwidth not your 3G/4G bandwidth Spectrum is spectrum. Convention centers don't own WiFi spectrum any more than they own cell phone spectrum.

Why do the people vote for judges that will sit quiet whilst someone provably lies in court? Most voters don't have information about such incidents or enough time to crawl through court records looking for that information. Actually

The garbage collector needs to know what things in memory are pointers/references and what things are actual data.

They're ok straight from the tree. Still not my favorite by a long shot, but ok.

I don't know. We don't run it overnight. I just use a pair of box fans (≈ intake + exhaust) to push cool night air through my room.

My apartment has one, but it's too loud to run it overnight. The vent itself doesn't seem like a big deal though. It falls shut when the fan isn't in use.

In low orbit, sure, but if you're coming from outside the SOI, you can burn retrograde at periapsis just enough to be captured, then make a very inexpensive inclination change at apoapsis (my usual procedure for deploying a kethane sca

You can fix catch these errors with a suitably advance type system Not that it matters in most cases though. A programmer picking a language for a project does not realistically have access to the full design space of type systems. If the

We can even fully infer types if you're willing to accept some quite reasonable restrictions on how polymorphic your code is. Personally, I don't consider "don't pass a polymorphic function to another polymorphic funct

For example, want to experiment with programming languages? You must plough your way through parsing (a solved problem) and maybe some variety of VM to emit code for before you can even start actual work. Why? If you're just trying t

Airports are a fine substitute if you're going from one major city to another, but I sure wouldn't have flown from Houghton to Traverse. It was only when I moved to Boston that not having a car meant freedom.

Some people probably don't find blogging platforms all that interesting and would really rather just say what they have to say and get back to whatever else they were working on. If someone asked me what's a good kitchen knife, I

No change in writing style will let the researcher who reads it get out of thinking about how the ideas might be useful in their own work, what the authors might have done wrong without realizing it, etc.

For any book, there exists some program which generates it, but most books are not created that way (so we consider those books to be products of human creativity).

APL's syntax is only simple if you consider parsing as a language acceptance check. Getting the actual syntax tree requires knowing what will be assigned to what names during run time.

Rocks don't have their own rules on how to "execute." Calling the rocks Turing-complete is like pointing to a Turing machine's tape and saying it's the tape that's Turing-complete :-P

Unless your thread scheduler can fairly choose from linearly many threads in constant time with 0 cost context switching and your threads take 0 time to call sleep(), at large input sizes, you eventually have to make the base sleep time lon

Ok, so if Aereo didn't have "TV service" all over it's marketing literature, they'd probably be in the clear?

Aereo effectively supplied a data stream with broadcast content to subscribers (just like a cable tv company) without licensing the right to supply that content. This is also what ESB would be doing by letting people rent antennas and str

The part I'm confused about is the distinction between what the Empire State Building management is doing in this setup and selling someone access.

What is it about GP's scenario that makes it a private performance? It sure looks like he's "subscribing to a streaming service that 'rents [him] an antenna'".

More broadly, it's important to distinguish what things are aspects of the actual program semantics and what things are just common implementation strategies. Linking in lots of STL implementation code is not strictly necessary to get

What have’t we done. Attached that behavior to the struct itself so that invoking a struct's "area" function could give any of several different behaviors depending on exactly what "rect" struct you have.
