This reminds me of the Chapel programming language ( http://chapel.cray.com/ ), which seeks to be a relatively high-level language for all parallel computation. They differ in that Harlan is just for GPUs, while Chapel aims t

Nixon's acceptance was seen as a admission of guilt. I am not sure it would be wise to petition for a pardon, not only for a crime that may not have been committed, but for a crime that many at this site feel should be legal behavior.

Whom are you thinking of that left after the fall of the USSR in 1991? I do not mean to challenge you, but others will, so I would like some details.

The OP says that new design will be like their current setup, which (as far as I can tell) seems to attract employees well enough. Any comments from Facebook employees on how the "one room building that somewhat resembles a warehouse" works

Do you have a link to _why's philosophy on coding and making mistakes? A quick Google search did not yield anything. Thanks.

Along with DabbleDB, bList (also acquired, by Socrata) was the other startup mentioned at the time as satisfying this idea.

Even if KDE did get more attention, on openSuSE (which seems to have a fairly large proportion of KDE users compared to other distros) Kate does not come preinstalled even with KDE. Anyone know why?

I always related it to the military practice of issuing new codebooks periodically. For one concrete example, the Japanese changed their codes right before the Battle of Midway, so the US was not able to under any of the messages sent durin

I am a little curious how you detect where I am. For me it shows "Philadelphia", which is indeed the city nearest my hometown, but I am currently at my college in Minnesota, so my IP address would show that I am there.

Unfortunately, "food" is a poor example for explaining how Levenshtein Automata work in general because it has a double letter. This means that in one state, you have the "o" transition to more states than usual because it is both the next
