I remember getting chewed out when I was assisting in some training class for my company and accidentally touched this guy's screen.... I think it's a pretty common gripe and there's nothing inherently wrong with asking them not to do it, b

Thanks for the article, there is lots of great info on there. I need to figure something out where I can make secure backups to some remote server. I guess there is no real perfect solution, but TrueCrypt looks good. I ran across this one t

How is the performance? I have no experience with whole volume encryption, do you have any useful links?

I'm firmly of the opinion that only 10% of writing software is typing code. I have all my text documents in git, experimental ideas, budget plans, everything. The only complaint I have is that I haven't figure a solid plan for doing encrypt

Every single text file you use should be in version control! Git is great for this, handles large files nicely and it's very easy to setup backup scripts across multiple machines. The line about making so many big changes is total nonsense!

The title should read "how I explained REST to my trophy wife". Also, all the structured data stuff doesn't really belong in a discussion of REST, imho. SemTech researchers have been studying this problem for a long time, came up with RDF

I have spent a lot of my time contemplating "big ideas" both when I was a PhD candidate (various set theory proofs, signal processing ideas) and in my own software (machine learning methods and application to gambling etc) and I find that m

A really successful product is not guaranteed to remain so, but cash remains cash. I speculate that if yahoo was going to get into social bookmarking then if he hadn't sold, they'd have picked up somebody else and the competitive landscape

Can't you work on anything you want now that you have the money? If you hadn't sold and some catastrophe struck you, what then? I'm sitting here counting out months of savings and wondering if I'll be able to build what I want to build befo

"....we’ve gone from having a graph-store to having a proper graph database..." A graph database and a "triple store" in semantic technologies are essentially the same thing. This company makes some very aggressive claims that allegrograph,

I think sense disambiguation is certainly one of the most interesting applications of semantic technologies. Here at TQ, the focus tends to be on the exploitation of referential semantics and structured data to establish master data models,

I think a more appropriate analogy is how could we move a hundred tons of earth more efficiently? With a dump-truck or with N commodity pick-up trucks? How hard is it to separate a load among the N trucks and how many are there?

I question the premise of this question and analysis! There is an enormous breadth of work done on clusters vs supercomputers already. It turns out that sufficiently parallelizable ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassingly_parallel )

Ugh and sigh to this article. What to pick to poke at? "If there was a killer algorithm, it would have been implemented by a fair share of the quant shops in a short time and thus drive down its usefulness." Seriously? Nobody can get a spec

The author sounds extremely stressed. To some extent, this is the big learning of the PhD program that I learned a touch too late : be self directed and manage your time. This line jumped out at me "I could not concentrate. There was too mu

Reading about the case again, it's certainly sickening. As a whole, it's a relatively tame instance of what a government has done in the name of "national security". It's the government after all, their job is to kill people. I wonder what

I'm highly unlikely to add another dependency to make the code look a bit nicer. Particularly a dependency I have to run all my code through. Typically, my model objects are simple java beans with private fields at the top and it's pretty c

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, are you talking about entity extraction with confidence levels ala Calais? That used to be clearforest before Reuters bought them. I think entity extraction in general is so closely related to natural lan

The basic information is pretty well summarized here http://www.rdfabout.com/ Automatically mapping disparate data sets is a pretty hard problem that does not tend to automate well. My current company produces tools for this and you can d

I work for one of the leading semtech companies. It's all about data interoperability and it is inevitably coming. I am not convinced it will come as the result of a company advancing a standard like RDF, rather than as a grass root entity
