Well... no. These are two separate problems. This example doesn't show all places where the shadow is. It only shows, when you place yourself and a light, an example arrangement of occluders that will prevent you from being hit.

Well, to give you an idea, I am working on an service that implements rather complex business process involving fetching data from multiple sources, parsing binary blobs with market data in proprietary format, saving results to a database a

This is just silly excuse. The job of the cofounder is also to anticipate possible risks. And building your company on an astronomically inefficient technology sounds like a huge risk to me. Those 1000s of servers are probably a very signif

No, Django is not stupid. It is the decision to choose it to run load that will require 1000s of servers when it could be handled with 5-10 servers in another technology without more development effort.

I drink bottled water because if I did not the next choice would be stuffing myself with soft drinks and other crap. I can only drink so much coffee and tea per day. Tap water just doesn't taste well on its own. I would be first to swi

I don't know Python or how complex their domain is but the number of workers suggests to me it is not that complex and their application spends most of its time switching contexts and in inefficient frameworks. Per my experience most a

1M requests per minute on 1000 web instances is not an achievement, it is a disaster. It is ridiculous people brag about it. Guys, if you have budget maybe I can help you up this by couple orders of magnitude.

It may not be the most efficient way, but I find that it is less likely to permanently discourage kids from programming. And they have a lot of time to learn. I started learning programming in my late teens, before that there weren't e

So... you are complaining most of the bill goes back to the budget rather than to a private company? Listen, your country needs to pay for infrastructure some way. That money has to find its way from your pocket to the budget, there are no

"Allowed price of electricity to soar". You mean, they have free market that responds to demand? Where is the socialism in it? Also, what's up with throwing expletives?

I think teaching programming is pretty easy as long as you have mindset. The first and most important point is to only teach people that want to be taught. Don't try to shove it to them, it just doesn't work. I am teaching my kids

> Nothing is 100% reliable, thats not realistic, My comments were directed at people who are interested in building reliable systems. If you straight assume it is not possible to build reliable systems, you are missing a lot.

Compiler can only do limited number of things and I am not talking about it. Think in terms of trying to save the file you are working on before the application exits. Or notify cluster map that the node is not going to be available to proc

Yep. Closing issues consistently without resolving it is best way to cause your users to stop caring ever reporting new issues. If you are looking to reduce number of issues, you are on the right track, because now not only you have closed

Don't make it possible to get your system into broken state? Why everybody assumes every developer doesn't know what they are doing just because most of them don't?

He may think so, but it is one thing to agree that the disasters are making it hard for Haiti to grow and another to blame disasters as the sole reason for the current situation. For me at least there is an important distinction. I will giv

This is simplistic thinking. Japan is also subject to powerful earthquakes and tsunamis and was pretty poor after WW2 (for this discussion it is not important who caused it). I think it is fair to say that the natural disasters add to the p

People buy 3d printers. I'm sure there would be people interested in building their own silicon chips, even if it would be a lot more involved. I can imagine a little niche market for tools and services for that kind of production. I d

This is the kind of advice that I put in a category of "easier said than done". The trouble is that you may not know beforehand what exactly is going to be needed. And you might need maybe a library call and the library does dynam

I did it at least once for a credit card terminal. The application saved state to internal database, and even if you cycled power it would just come back to the same screen and same state it was before power cycle. This wasn't to deal

Losing everything you own every 11 years may not be such a huge deal to you, but don't you think it might be to other people?

It never is going to get it. The only way to "get a break" in their situation is to have infrastructure resistant to it. As it is, Haiti population is barely aiming at having a shelter. Shelter that can additionally survive powe

I am sure that there is at least one mathematician who likes to sit in libraries. But in general there is nothing for a mathematician to do in a library. It is not like you need access to large number of hard to get books. And if you need a

Users are aware things stop working when memory is exhausted. As a user I am ok with this. I don't let my memory end and would prefer that the application worked reliably while there is still memory. What I don't like is applicati
