The OpenCL implementation provided by Apple is less than ideal. It lacks a number of optimizations that are provided by, for example, AMD's OpenCL driver packages for Linux and Windows. That, coupled with the wretched GPU options avai

I live in the Bay Area, so there are enough people with a strong skill set that are happy to shift hours to work on fun projects. I'm also a big fan of "you have 90% of this nailed and the other 10% will get you another service y

At least the hotel in the Dubai airport has awesome massage chairs in the rooms and lets you come and go as you please (unless you're traveling on an Israeli passport, in which case, fly the other way). On the other hand, there are no

Your clients will tell you about their concerns. Whether it's HIPAA, PCI, PABP, SOX, ITAR, etc., they tend to be overly expressive and understanding. They're also very similar and once you've nailed it a few times, whether

I'm a very lazy (oops) language implementer. Every time but one when I've implemented closures, I took the quick approach of just copying the entire frame to the heap. The other time, I was able to do more data flow analysis, but
