Seconded. They are both great books. Some really amazing stories in there, like the development of the first hard drive.

You should check out ups http://ups.sourceforge.net/ It has a builtin C interpreter which allowed you to dynamically add and change code while debugging. Unfortunately the code has somewhat bitrotted, so it's hard to u

Calling SEO adriadnology is pretty cool. I read Summa Technologae a long time ago in German translation. It wasn't easy to read, but had many interesting ideas. Two concepts I still remember and think of occasionally: - the concept of

Right and that could happen. It being unlikely doesn't make the other court suddenly supreme. The German press release linked in the article even stated that Springer is considering to appeal to the actual Supreme court.

The headline is completely wrong. Bundesgerichtshof is not the German Supreme court. It's the second highest court.

A fungus is a much more distributed organism than a cow? It's not that it has a throat to cut or a brain to kill.

How do they kill the fungus? I hope it won't continue growing if you wear it.

Frankly, if such a important project depended so much on a single person it was already in serious trouble. The other 7 people in the project are unable to finish the code on their own? Hard to believe. Likely that article was overblown.

Everyone wins except for the prison industrial complex. And they got the big lobbyists.

Does diffusion of oxygen really need active mixing? I would have assumed even with a low oxygen atmosphere the oceans would slowly get saturated with oxygen by diffusion and existing currently Or do they mean that the rate needs to be diffu

Remember that most windows antivirus (except perhaps Microsoft's own) patches into the operating system somewhat similar to malware itself to do all the things it does. Malware programs patching the same parts of the OS are likely to t

Right they do, but they are also all working really hard on their transition plans away from it. See the original link for concrete data on that.

Kind of like COBOL, an old-school legacy thing originating from mainframes that some people still use.

They don't know. It's bleeding edge science and so far the study was only done for bats. Likely other scientists will look into birds now. Birds are only very distantly related to bats (hundreds of millions of years away in evolut

Flying needs a lot more energy than running. All flying animals have a lot more muscles compared to body weight than others. And bats fly all night, while Cheetahs only run at best a few minutes per day

So they're cutting the french tuba and Italian professors, but keeping all the far more expensive deans? Seems backwards.

So you need coyotes instead? They can likely deal with any size rat.

It seems to me the gobblydok is more a problem with your chosen language than the data structure. In c it is perfectly straight forward. Also we are long in a world where computers are needed to program computers. Or when did you last type

There's basically nothing to see here. One or two minor bug fixes, a few cleanups, and a new build system replacing one that already worked fine. In my experience replacing the build system and doing nothing else is usually a good indi

I guess dead pedestrians are cheap for the insurance? They would be more expensive when only injured. That means the SUVs are actually good for the insurance and they can lower prices.

I wonder if the NSA has already tapped in. Presumably Microsoft/Facebook are slightly less enthusiastic about willingly giving them access than the old school telcos.
