Could EFF disclose statistics on the NSLs they are fighting but can't talk about individually? E.g. can they say "We are currently fighting 50 NSLs with gag orders?" If not, that's a good pressure point for a change in c

My understanding is that different user roles would see different schemas depending on what they are allowed to see. This should definitely reduce the amount of code that needs to be written. I haven't actually implemented such an API

If you want you can run it in production, too (this would give you a warning, won't prevent race conditions, but there is almost no performance penalty). The point was this is very different from a mutex.

This only runs in the debug version of the code. I hope your mutexes run in production, too.

I disagree that the code can't know what will switch with green threads. They switch on I/O and when explicitly requested. An example of using this to get rid of concurrency control: http://www.underengineering.com&#x2F

No link to the original comparison by Google? It was only presented on a private event? Well, it's impossible to know the context in which this comparison was made. BigQuery is very different from the rest of the data warehouse solutio

It's not just security - I'd expect cache eviction algorithms, schedulers, constraint solvers and many others to also benefit from ML. Anything dealing with hairy problems.

It may not be fair to enable adblocking if you want to compare other engineering components, but these results still mean users in the real world will see more battery time with Opera than with Edge.

There is a problem with the simple economic models that don't claim to predict real world behavior because they capture only one aspect of reality (everything else being equal...). They are not really scientific because they are not fa

I wish there was a follow-up to this, Peter Norvig has hinted a few times he is going to write one.

I've experimented with this for a while, the goal being easier comprehension of new text. I found highlighting parts of speech and syntactic groups didn't work for me. The only thing that did work was highlighting keywords (that a

The diff between Haskell and Python is not functional programming, I program functionally in Python, it is the type system. This is subjective, but having tried Elm with its Haskellish type system, it seems that the type system makes me thi

English is better as I'd have to run Spanish through Google Translate. Email is in my profile if you don't want to post it here.

I've tried part-of-speech tagging and subjectively it doesn't seem to help much. POS taggers for English are a solved problem, so it can be done automatically, but for prototyping I tried marking up some text myself. Indeed what h

That's interesting! Can I see such an essay of yours?

I think of it as a space to explore. Punctuation is another preexisting visual aid in parsing. However, printed text is rather limited compared to the ways a computer can style text dynamically for you. Edit: The fact that this capitalizati

Having monospaced / proportional font test as a sort of control would have been nice. I've been wondering what is the analogue of syntax highlighting for natural languages. Still experimenting with it, but most promising is simple

vEB layout has expensive index calculation though, BFS might still be faster.

Yup, I'm actively using this architecture, in Python, with gevent (so that calls to external services don't stall your web server). I spawn long running computations in separate processes. I've described it here: http:/

COM sort of works, on Windows, when when one or preferably both sides of the connecting components are made by Microsoft. You never see non-Microsoft code talking to non-Microsoft code from a different vendor via COM. This is not a successf

The author explained a very useful analogy (reading : comprehension = writing : composition = coding : modelling) but didn't push it as far as he should. The important thing about coding as modelling is that the results are not just ex

The shift from spinning hard drives to SSDs is an environmental change like the ones you describe in the article. What made it hard to exploit? Not enough improvement, compared to legacy databases on SSD?
