   Isn't Apple to blame for not exposing the APIs to allow use of the graphics card from within Safari?

   Is that alt title commentary or is it actually in the page? I couldn't find it in the source, at least.

   Even if they do you can still write your own languages that compile down. Ala: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Oriented_Assembly_Lisp

   Maybe biofuel would be a good use of corn instead of HFCS. And the gov't could still subsidize that. Edit: That probably should have included an irony tag...

   I've seen claims somewhere (maybe at "Watts Up with That") that no unmodified climate station data exists, that it's all been modified or corrected to adjust for something. Is this data raw?

   http://www.twilio.com/pricing-signup says that it's 3 cents/SMS - which, yes, works out to be $3 - but not because it's per minute.

   I wonder if their improvement was due to the low gluten diet or because they're forced to find healthier foods to eat - because you have to be more careful about what you eat & can't eat unhealthy bread, etc.

    True, and the article is a little simplistic on that front, but a modern communications network does not morally justifies the holocaust. Neither does making lots of money & whatever else the Unobtainium was going to do justify wholesal

    I'm confused. What does this let you do? Is the idea to find other text/passwords that MD5-hash to the same hash as something else? And how long should that take at 200M/sec?

    It sounds like he's using Apache for HTTPS and PHP or CGI scripts. It's about halfway down.

    Tail calls would improve Clojure performance since you wouldn't have to trampoline. Edit: Not that they would, necessarily, improve the speed of this benchmark that much.

    It seems that, from what I've seen, when the media being torrented is small & numerous large collections are made - for example 1000s of SNES games.

    Right, it wasn't that I thought you had to use GETs for everything, but that, being these are calls that change nothing on the server, GET was appropriate.

    I find it fascinating that this Clojure implementation is faster than the current best Java one. I wonder how much faster a Java implementation could be.

    Client side or server side? Because GWT compiles directly from Java to JS so you can't compile Scala using GWT to run in browser.

    The question then becomes how do you define what appropriate corrections are & what is fudging the data?

    There's some truth in Klosterman's analogy, but I think it misses the point that much of other entertainment/art (in movies, TV shows, books, etc.) doesn't push you to think differently than you do. It simply feeds some emotional or whateve

    Interesting that tho it started as a ML-like language with a different type system, it morphed into an implementation of ML97. Anyone know the reasons for this? And what advantages Poly/ML brings over SML/NJ or MLton?

    I think the intent is to multiplex the goroutines on some smaller set of threads. From the language FAQ ( http://golang.org/doc/go_lang_faq.html ): "The idea, which has been around for a while, is to multiplex independently executing functi
