I remember the last time I got involved in one of these discussions, where the same give-and-take was brought up: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.ruby/vWcRBbg8VGE/0...

You beat me to this issue. When I read this code I cringed, because it's so naïve it's like reading something intentionally pessimized, such as "if(new String("true").equals(new Boolean(b).toString()){...}" instead of "if(b){...}".

The stellar thing about manual controls on digital cameras is that you can get a "feel" for the compromises and advantages of various combinations of settings very quickly. What took a big chunk of every project during semester with a K100

OWC has SSD upgrades for the 2011 MBAs (I bought one the day before the announcement–I should have waited until suddenly it became an obsolescent part) and I suspect they will develop the same for the new flat flash sticks. They also have

Cool. When can you show us? My wife would buy one in two shakes.

Actually, the key difference with "enterprise" SSD is that they overprovision the drive to have a cell reserve. That's why you can buy a 512Go consumer drive or a 480Go enterprise drive. As cells get wonky, they are 'replaced' from the rese

I am another Colemak user. I use a Truly Ergonomic keyboard on my desktop, and having to look at the keyboard because of the odd placement of enter, tab, quotes, etc. absolutely kills my throughput compared to my laptop.

I can't tell if you meant that in a pejorative way, but are you sure? BSEE, started a "big data" company a thousand years ago which is still the "Xerox" of its industry. I doubt he solders today, but he has the background to understand the

Keep in mind how Bloomberg made the majority of his wealth. He has an idea of how software and hardware are made, deployed, and updated.

More like arguing about the one right way to do things. And if no one agrees, write your OWN Lisp.

To summarise, the closing of an Initial Public Offering style auction for one million MPOE shares resulted in an implicit valuation of USD446,000 for the company. A total of nine investors participated. A second offering of a possibly large

They've almost always been on the same GS scale as almost every other federal employee. $141k seems high from what I remember, but the locality adjustment may top out around there.

Go to a hotel. It's the only reliable way to catch a cab in SF. Choose nicer hotels and if the pickings are still slim, $5 to the doorman will resolve the problem pretty quickly. Even less-nice hotels are good for cabs if they have a nota

I've done this myself (hey, look, no self-linking to Amazon!) and the Mac application Scrivener is probably a better starting point. It's free for 30 days (of use, no less), supports much better outline-based editing, and can easily export

Watch the video ( http://hardocp.com/article/2011/09/13/amd_bulldozer_fx_model... ) at about 9:15, 10:25, and 10:55 (approximately). They show close-ups of CPUZ.

You should specify Mac OS 9 when you say OS9. As soon as you said OS9, I thought you meant, well, OS9. OS9 definitely had pre-emptive multitasking about a hundred million years ago.

It's worse than that. Because of the economic and legal disruption caused by effectively declaring software patents null and void, the SCOTUS may very well say,"Yes, we agree that this patent is not valid, but we've been doing things this

Kindle delivery is baked into the rake Amazon takes off the top, along with their 30%. If you opt or prince into the 35% royalty model (i.e., 65% to AMZN) then they are graciously willing to absorb that cost themselves.

I don't think this is true. Auctions definitely didn't put any nails in Amazon's coffin.

Are you saying that the V8 JIT won't catch this? What if it optimizes _any_ function/module/etc. that is later changed? The optimization should be discarded when the reference is reassigned. If it's not, then V8 has a bug that should be

I used Oz/Mozart for a few years as my "side project language" in the 2003-2005 time frame, and definitely have the love for PvR. I'm not entirely sure why he chose Scala either, but it will definitely make for more accessible tool support

The first thing that stands out to me is that the errors in punctuation (conveniently called out with "(sic)") are similar between both authors. For example, using a comma where one would normally end a sentence and omitting apostrophes in

I don't think this applies to a startup environment or anywhere the company size is less than, say, fifty people, assuming 10-20% of them are developers. If you try to build something new with B or C players, you may not have a chance. Tha

Nassim Taleb had a good quote that can be stretched to fit this. "Answer e-mails from junior people before more senior ones. Junior people have further to go and tend to remember who slighted them." It's more enlightened self-interest or u
