lzma takes long enough to compress suitably large files that it's not always ideal for operations. While CPU time is generally cheaper than storage space, archiving systems don't always have the most powerful chips in them and tend to favor

Nonsense. I've worked in an organisation where we trained our recruiter to ask simple weed out questions. We would use questions like 'what is an A record?'. The candidate must give a two sentence or less answer right away. The recruiter di

This is where having lots of experience comes in play. It's possible to hire lots of people, someone to operate the forklift, a geologist to evaluate the stones, a physicist to plot flight paths for the stones, etc.... but each hire will sl

The netherlands is a different beast when it comes to Geocoding since each postcode only corresponds with around 10 buildings all very close to each other. Most other systems cover larger delivery areas. My complete amateur comment is that

IDE's are a bit of a closed off garden, to use a bad metaphor. They provide all the components you need, editors, terminals, shortcuts to run commands, but when you learn that you can choose between using an IDE or building up a toolset on

Probably the most important thing to know coming from the Windows world is that in Unix (which includes Linux) is that the OS is the IDE. From the way the OS is set up, where and how libraries are stored on disk, how you install things, to

Most of it's been covered here, but another point is that for every mainstream language that doesn't seem to be so revolutionary, there are lots of little languages that never made it. In order for there to be lots of innovation, we also ne

You're asking the wrong question. If someone could do it, they would have. Ask yourself why hasn't Craigslist been cracked. What does Craigslist not serve and how can you step through, via iterations, a product that's disruptive to how clas
