An undiscovered understanding IS (novel discovering and therefore) an invention.

Of course actions can (and should) be taken. The OP protected the identity of the parts involved, but I am feeling free to drop in more info about the whole thing: http://www.caledonvirtual.com/2015-startup-weekend-columbia-

"you can encapsulate small and beautiful programs into classes, and connect objects at runtime to solve more complex problems" Then in order to ease the integration between those classes you start reshaping them a little bit (addi

It's so amusing that is almost sad - I know such people around me, they get constantly abused by their peers, don't have the necessary means to deliver great results and get systematically bashed for that. So their situation is no

I continued reading and found this: "This didactic story probably wasn’t meant to teach that Jews are evil. The ethics ascribed to the Jew are practical ethics undoubtedly common across human tribal groups."

"Suppose a client and server were connected with a connection running with speed of light. Even then, there is some finite limit as to how many bits can be transferred. How do we handle scalability beyond it then? By abstraction."

"sent 3 packets instead of 1 because the compiler translated each write of a bitfield member to a write of the whole register" So the problem was the fact that the language gives the impression of having more control than what the

That was my first reaction too (and it was quite disappointing to see it reflected in another post so far below). From an educational POV, having an all-out rational play is valuable (up to a point), but that's it. It is like observing

"Then they came for me, and there was none left to speak out." By then I'll probably fall into total submission already, so I'll most likely just trust their judgment that there must be something wrong with me.

"I don't like C++ malloc'ing things behind my back. I see it as trading maintainability for instant gratification." I agree and I want to add that for a language "with a bias towards system programming" C++ mak

You suggest that when you go to another currency region you're ready to spend without giving much thought to the actual amounts you're pulling out of your pockets? Because if you do care about costs you're presented with, the

I haven't seen the video yet (2h is not that easy), but I'm curious - currently most of the time fast CPUs spend is waiting for cache misses. Does Mill CPU Architecture deal somehow with this besides the claimed "10x single-t

Having 5 meals per day, eating at 6 means for me falling asleep at 9, because at 10 I get hungry again and due to that hunger going to sleep afterwards becomes a nightmare. It's hard for me to imagine getting myself to fall asleep at 3

Something I noticed in my falling asleep pattern (and did not found in the article yet) is the relation with the air I breathe. It's very easy for me to fall asleep somewhere in the middle of green forest and the other way around - I n
