We use it to power the Simple Database for QuickFuse: http://quickfuseapps.com As some have mentioned here, there is a latency cost for every request, maybe around 200ms. So, we try to pack as much into each request as possible. QuickFus

So you think we should lower the barrier for all discomforting and potentially infringing activities? Your movements today might be fairly routine and predictable, but would you be comfortable in a database flagging every single day where

The exact same thing happened about three years ago in the middle of the Golden Gate bridge (talk about dramatic!) and apparently the motorist safely guided the unconscious driver's car across two lanes of traffic to the divider. http://go

Ugh, you just reminded me of the Java updater on windows machines. I hope that if Oracle does care, they at least care enough to get it right. And that Apple lets them still hook into Software Update.

However, you don't get any credit, or a degree. So it doesn't really matter whether the classes you drop in on are Ivy League or not, just that you are learning enough to make it worth your time. You won't be able to validate your knowled

In poking around for this Visor program, I stumbled across TotalFinder made by the same folks, and holy crap is it awesome. Chrome style tabs for my finder? Hotkey for sliding it in and out of focus? Who hasn't struggled to rearrange two

Quant hedge funds, maybe? I know a few that suck up physics and math PhD's dissuaded by dwindling academia/research. Perhaps it's a soul-draining job, but the pay is good. Most likely you will have to program, but since you're here I don'

Yes, it does. Next time you go to a (newer) baseball stadium, check out behind home plate and you'll sometimes see painted blocks where the TV cameras overlay ads.

Besides brevity is there any other case for implicit return values? I love little lambdas as much as the next guy but does the cost have to be that every one of my functions returns something unless I write an extra line to the contrary? I

A lot of the voice quality problems can be attributed to forcing cellphones to route through the PSTN[1] which is 8bit u-law 8kHz audio. That's a huge stretch from CD-quality audio--it used to be presumed the minimum required for voice to
