Is the tuna Provençale using an alternate definition for "slug" I've not heard before? I think the conventional definition is way too much wine to put in something that's not meant to feed a small army, and a single bay leaf won't be nearly

Energy costs will be the main concern. We need to cool or warm our air, heat our water, refrigerate our food, and mechanically dry our clothing. Housing around here is not particularly expensive, but the house's gas bill peaks a little ov

Me too. I learned it so I could listen to propagation beacons, since I started primarily on 10m. I still don't use it much with other humans, unfortunately.

about a 350 mile trip, 20 miles per gallon That would be 17.5 gallons each way, not 30. The round trip is then 35 gallons, which should easily be less than three 15-gallon tanks. Even 450 miles each way fits in three tanks. Only for shor

It's substantially simpler and more straightforward than a lot of the primary sources, which makes me wonder what is the analogue of LOTR here.

It is not possible to "corner the market" by having more gpu power than other people. The btc algorithm was designed to only produce bitcoins at a constant rate. Adding a million more systems trying to calculate the answer to the next hash

the ingredients are exotic (i.e. where I live they're expensive and you'd need to go to a specialty shop for some of them) and don't overlap much between recipes. I had a housemate who kept a copy of the Wycliffe International Cookbook. I

I have seen some exceptions in Oregon(Portland had a bunch of 65-75k "senior" developer jobs when I looked into that city and North Carolina seems to have a strangely low market average) How much of this do you think is attributable to di

So if not the curated blog, what would be the difference between what you're thinking of and making something like a section of stackexchange?

There are probably message boards full of snarky, or perhaps civil, users who would be glad to tell you what's wrong with any idea you propose (discussions on halfbakery.com often go this way, though it seems to be generally expected that t

In contrast, work at home suffers because of my apartment size and total lack of personal isolation from my family. The chaos and noise in a coffee shop or on the street is very easy to tune out in comparison to someone asking questions ev

Yeah, it all comes down to what you consider "status." Independence and high economic/societal position are not the same thing. "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes."

Depends on the airport too. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pass like this accepted at CMX, but I would much rather keep my distance should someone try this at ORD.

I don't see Bitcoin itself as "irrational exuberance" at all, in fact quite the opposite. It's attempting to solve a real world problem. A lot of people I've heard promoting Bitcoin (n.b. these are not analysts) gloss over or outright ign

simply having more computational power isn't enough, you have to use it You can say that about any resource. It's still generally easier for someone who's wealthier to put up more of that resource.

How much does this much use of the type system's invariant enforcement increase compilation time? (still just getting into Haskell)

My experience has been that nobody wants to spend dollar coins -- they just collect and hoard them (same with $2 bills).

PH or HP? My intro course used Computer Organization and Design, and the senior course used Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (both are by the same authors).

Ok, I thought he meant the post was a summary of something more detailed than the course.

It was in my second year 'computer architecture' class, except in much more grueling detail. How much more? There are quite a few topics here that weren't covered in my introductory architecture course (e.g. speculation, VLIW, register re

If you insist on classifying into those two categories, sure, but when you bring up grad school, there's a lot more to formal education than sitting in lectures.

In 2011, where could one possibly find good resources for the above. Let me rack my brain... Hmmmm.... Maybe.... rhymes with Internet? Rhymes with Google? Rhymes with bookstores? The problem is that these are also effective ways to find b

Aside: What is really meant by "self-taught programmer" anyway? I have managed and worked with people who came out of university and couldn't program their way out of a paper bag. This one always makes me raise an eyebrow too. My experien

In my case, $500 went to the university (less than what they'd normally charge for the two credits), which works out to about a 42¢ decrease in my hourly pay.

To give you a concrete example of why it is necessary to prematurely expose unpopular ideas, in Australia there was a proposal within some circles to log all internet traffic. What do you mean "log all internet traffic"? Do you mean like H

Shouldn't most scientists be getting their pay from universities, or the R&D departments of corporations? I mean, the CDC and NASA don't employ that many people in the grand scheme of things. You don't have to be an employee of CDC or
