Yes. I guess he was distinguishing from multi-machine concurrency i.e. distributed systems, which are a different matter and one which both languages have tools for, but the author chose not to address.

But the attention of the community is still finite. It's hard enough to get a moderately difficult question answered already, without opening the floodgates to lower-quality, easier-answered material. Opinion-based questions can be ask

All "mean angry faces" represent someone you don't intend/require/expect to see your data. I don't want the police to read my data.

Even those who can't be bothered to categorise their contacts can use the automatically-generated ones, based on family, location and college/workplace. It's very freeing to be able to ask only close friends in my city if they want to see a

Not much worse than being influenced by the articles themselves. Science reporting is just awful, universally as far as I can tell.

This was mentioned. In Jobs' last email, this was the 3rd option he saw for HC: > 3. Hold back your books from Amazon. Without a way for customers to buy your ebooks, they will steal them. This will be the start of piracy and once start

Are other browsers any better in this regard? 1 GB seems reasonable to me for "many, many tabs", I'm currently using about 500MB with 16 tabs, as rally is pretty bloated. Solution: install more RAM?

In theory, you could make the letters overlap so much that it is difficult to distinguish them in a single frame. This would give humans a distinct advantage over robots. However as it stands, a single frame is barely obscured at all, and I

I think this is overstated. I switched from a Galaxy S3 to a Nexus 4 recently, and there are several ways in which I find the Nexus to be inferior. Hardware: - The Galaxy S3 is noticeable thinner and easier to hold. - The hardware buttons l

I think it's only GPLv3 which forbids distribution on locked-down devices. I would guess that GPLv2 is compatible with the iPhone.

It means that Google will treat it as a worldwide website, as opposed to being country-specific. This means that .io domains are more likely to show up in US search results, and will no longer be given priority in "the British Indian Ocean

Have you built a substantial application using Scala on Android? Bump uses Scala, and they had to do a lot of messing with build processes, and they ended up using Java for performance in places as well. I can't find the talk right now, but

That people are willing to pay $2.50 implies that the value is at least $2.50. Of course it depends on how effective you are at getting value from your followers, so for many, the answer is close to 0 cents.
