Yes, you're most likely wrong. France is a hard working country. It's not where it is today just because there is an Eiffel tower and great bread. I realize that bashing France is always enjoyable but although its going downhill it's still

The competition isn't petrol. You'll still need lots of petrol for plastic (for example). The competition is more traditional car companies that don't have an electric car yet.

Bad example. They have an incredible number of accidents (compared to a first world country).

Yes but the point is who you know is up... to you.

Smells like a bad idea, I agree. You have more chances to have a hardware error or system error that will cause your branch to be incorrectly executed than having an accidental SHA-1 collision. And if you're worried about SHA-1 collisions,

I disagree. Question#5 and bonus Question#1 are good questions. Production bugs are often close to these. It tests if a student is able to follow a program's logic with rigor. It tests if you don't interpret the code but actually read it "a

The difficulty is to realize when you have something interesting to offer to a specific person, and when you have not. Funding is hard, best of luck.

You're generally one email away from great, successful people. You know what's great with successful people? They're always open to opportunities. If you do it right, you'd be surprised how accessible busy people can become. By saying "He w

How the heck do I close a Metro application? Do I even? Am I not really supposed to? Is this a computer or a phone-like thing? This is a Surface Pro; am I a professional or not? Do professionals close applications? Professional! (Turns out

Other comments, timestamps will not work as you expect if you have a network partition and you are using your own time synchronization mechanism. Use NTP instead.

I think I didn't make myself clear: - You say However, since it could be very useful for users of a database to store ordered data, or to wilfully concentrate certain data on certain parts of the cluster, god does not force the user to has

by shin_lao 14y ago
My concern is that you're mixing two different concepts. Do you really need data to be ordered? Why do you care about having "close" data on the same node?

The Chord algorithm sounds like a very good choice, however I'm more skeptical about the radix tree approach. I fear you might get a huge performance penalty.

Err... 20 hours is really not a lot of work. Some problems, to be solved, require intense work. At 40 hours a week you will hardly feel "burned out".

I would recommend to have a look at sorted arrays first. There is an implementation available in Boost: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/container/non_...

It's a joke. It's hardly doable by a single person. For the record there is currently no fully C++11 compliant compiler. Oh, and I'd like to say that knowing everything about C++11 makes you a language lawyer, not a Grandmaster. Grandmaster

Sorry, I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think your example serves your point. I don't think I mixed up expected value and probability of occurrence, if I did please point out where. You don't care too much about expected

Author doesn't understand how statistics/probabilities work and it ruins the article. If you roll a dice six times, you have no guarantee to get a six. Each time you roll the dice, you have 1/6th chance of getting a six and this doesn't cha

What do you mean by the code could be changed at any time . AFAIK this applies to any software.

You're not missing anything. I clenched my teeth when I red this phrase. It doesn't mean anything and discredits the whole article as it shows the author has got a superficial knowledge in cryptography.

Great post, but you will also need to upgrade your ports collection. I personally use portsnap. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/po...

the investor must invest at almost any price This is not investing, this is gambling. When I invest, I have a hedging strategy and caps. If you offer me a gold mine for $ 15 and I have only $ 10 to invest, sorry, I'll pass.

"Too expensive" isn't necessarily a fallacy, it depends on your funds size and your hedging strategy. If a startup requests for more money than you can afford, you don't invest, even if it's awesome. From a founder point of view, I think

An interesting statement, which would be more interesting if backed up by facts. All brothers are basically virtual machines running remote code, how could they be secure?
