I think those are updated 'eventually', to cope with the scale. I've noticed the same thing.

It's even easier. I was carrying a metal external hard drive, put it through the belt with no problem. You could easily take out the HD and put some explosives in there instead. edit Also, if combining fluids really is a threat, they're a

Like a couple of things that smart people have said - our rate of innovation has dropped off, and, all the smartest workers are trying to maximize advertising effectiveness (well that and finance). Computers - a blessing and a curse.

> Remember, if you have to ask if something is relevant in your resume, you should leave it off! I did this once, and the interviewer asked me about all the holes (by date) in my resume. So, never again.

I'm a two-page guy myself but a recruiter recently told me that nowadays with job searching being done by recruiters who 'grep' your resume for keywords, that longer and more detailed is fine. And, hiring managers want to see more, if you h

MS knows that Moore's Law doesn't mean faster cores anymore, rather more of them. But, most problems are only so parallelizable, thus the need to get the utter maximum serial performance (and no less important, minimum power consumption) th

It's my experience that smarter hirers are readier to hire you on your talent, and less on your experience. I've always thought that this is because people are egocentric, and, because it's easy for /them/ to learn, they presume it's the sa

No, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock-free ) it's using different data structures and algorithms and new-to-C++ (or the applicable assemblies), really low-level operations /to avoid locking at all/. (To avoid threads blocking, not the ove

No SVM support either. I could try to add it I guess; libSVM has Python bindings already.

2 things: Google does censor youtube - via responding to user complaints. And I bet Google /could/ censor the rest if it wanted to. And doesn't it already, anyway, for China? But then if not, who would lose more, Google + Facebook or India?

I thought someone would have mentioned this by now, but in other cultures (my sample: India, China, Ukraine), there /are/ more women programmers. At least, I've worked with proportionately more women from the above nations, than white Ameri

To be fair, if the gates of acceptance of HBD (human biodiversity) were thrown open, people fear there would be a lot more social friction. And I think you're right about the worldview bit, too - people not being seen as quite equal would b

Why don't they give out the simulator? Less inducement to pay $16K I guess, but, certainly it'd boost mindshare, and give a wider audience a chance to shine, feeding back to Aldebaran.

R is so ugly. Octave / Matlab is supposed to have inconsistent syntax and behavior but at least wrt matrices it seems much cleaner. So, is there a language (like R or Matlab) that's beautiful and well thought out? Mathematica?

I had this idea, but thought it wouldn't work because, how would you make money? You couldn't rip someone else's content and then put ads around it. Content providers wouldn't want to shorten their articles, they want ad-views. Also to be s

Yeah, pre3d is canvas. Well I haven't checked recently, maybe it's got a web3D backend, now. I know my browser can't handle web3D but likes this ok.

They hire people like mad and pay them well. They get some good people though, because they're Mozilla. Also, they get nice offices and keep them well :)

You mean as opposed to pgm-class.online.stanford.edu? Well they're cheap, it makes the urls shorter, it's less confusing. Just good design. But too, I guess the ai-class is run by one of the teachers' startups, so it may be to separate them
