   80+ is doable if you work from home. I often code with my daughter sitting on my lap. I also do lot of work in my head without computer.

   There are rants about PhDs and Masters in Computer Science as well. And MBA fits more into 'Business studies' rather than humanities. I am not going to argue about importance of each field. But computer (and technical) illiteracy

   I was talking more about content of the phone: emails, passwords, pictures, contact lists... But proper OSS phone could give answer to GSM location as well. Imagine network similar to Tor, where SIM would be emulated on phone and shared amo

   There is one more dimension: surveillance and security. Closed source phone could have spyware. It also does not get security updates just 6 months after release. I simply want some basic privacy and phone which lasts more than 2 years. Com

    So it was hard because hash table could resize between calls? For HTreeMap I used expanding Hash Tree. There are 4 dir levels, each with 128 entries. If dir becomes full (or has too many collisions), it splits into another 128 dirs. Iterat

    Is 64bit counter part of hash which points to current position in Hash Tree? I implemented something similar for HTreeMap, but in Java.

    It is actually very reasonable. Other alternative is that iterator returns an error if underlying collection was modified (fail fast iterators).

    As someone who maintains old 1000+ KLOC projects I have to agree. Have look at some large old Perl projects to see how JS code will look&feel in 10 years. But on other side I see JS bytecode as great alternative to Java and JVM. Modern

    I do not understand why some people try to regulate this. My guess is that income from smoking-tax is shrinking. I never smoked cigarette in my life, but I tried e-cigs as a replacement for coffee. It works, no hassle with tea or coffee pr

    When articles like this pops out, it means that soon 3D printers will get regulated to oblivion. UK is crazy, even pocketknife or pepper spray is forbidden. And this country has one of highest violent crime rates in Europe.

    CPUs are actually getting slower after overclocking I have water cooled 2600k at 5GHz running 24/7. Bigger GPU and more cores brings additional complexity and more heat. No other CPU can handle this without blowing up.
