Stress testing is vital to account for the harsh conditions in which most deployments, both hardware and software, operate.

That's just absurd. Are we really that dense to compare interconnected x86s to shared memory parallel mainframes? Not even Myrinet or SCI (and the various other contenders of the throne) could be half as effective as point-to-point process

I cannot find any specs regarding the interconnect in z196. Can you please point to where you got that 60GB/s number from? Also, would anyone happen to know any details on it? With 6 interfaces, I suspect cross-connected CPs; is that accura

I haven't decided yet, but I think he's trying to say that we're confusing simplicity with usability . I don't agree with that. One look at the iPod and I'm convinced.

I'd love to take a massive dish (say, 20 foot diameter) & see how many can be captured from inside a neighboring building. For active RFID, maybe you'd grab quite a bit. You'd also grab quite a bit of noise. These are very low power s

No need. If it were published research, they'd be in the clear.

Could you indent the function definition (without the typedef), please? It is near impossible to read.

They provide more type safety and not syntactic sugar. One cannot have complete type safety at runtime using type casts; if he thinks he can, he needs to take a simple programming course again. If the OP wanted readability, he could use ite

I did not like it. It may be easier for the eyes (if the ads are there, I think it's not gonna be any better) but it's not usable. I like the top flash bar - it's informative, but not when you're logged off, duh. I also usually search and v

This blog post is filled with the same amount of stereotypical bullshit it supposedly is furious about. And it's not helping anybody. The real question here is, how many will read it a second time while actually thinking about what it says?

First off, I don't think the lack of a degree brands at all someone as dense or slow. Also, depending on the degree and school it's received from, the holder's persistence and/or determination can be generally deduced. However, I would not

I was not able to reproduce the results 100%. I'm not talking about the actual numbers, of course, but the relative order. I did not observe the difference between perl and python implementations to the extent Mr.Li reports; however python

The back references present in the regular expressions discussed in the article make the entire system capable of handling even NP-complete problems. Really? So, we can parse HTML with regular expressions nowadays? I think a more appropri

You're right; it is. According to the Standard: " Between the previous and next sequence point an object shall have its stored value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression. Furthermore, the prior value shall be accessed on

I find it disturbing that an article about a new kind of weapon is neutrally worded, with a positive spin at the end.

There's nothing wrong with setting achievable goals. Every man and their mother would pay up for Duke Nukem Forever [1]; but hey, either you've shipped or you haven't. [1] Replace "Duke Nukem Forever" with your favourite overambitious proje

And finally it is true that people who write C because they are trying to squeeze performance are more generally prone to create more of it. You can't imply "fact" and use "generally" in the same sentence, sorry.

Wouldn't an unprivileged EFLAGS-lookalike cause problems of the CLI-HLT persuasion? And "process signal registers", while sounding attractive, aren't really a feasible alternative, given that the number of processes running even on uniproce

Majority can do that; there are also comments which are full of misinformation and wild assumptions, yet get upvoted like crazy because of their "tone". I hate it, but it's not my pathology.

You mean to tell me that in a world where anyone could take up on any programming language and start writing code on one's own, properly educating that someone is feasible? Please. This isn't 1960 anymore. Code is not written by "scientists

Taking your (conscious) mind off a full day's work allows your subconscious to process it, let your conclusions "sink in". That's why people often have the solutions in our sleep.

It's just as secure as any other language you can write insecure code in (i.e. all of them). That may be true; I've only developed two half-serious projects in PHP a while back. But given the amount of XSS and injection vulnerabilities we
