I usually use a Kinesis Keyboard ( http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/images/kb_adv-blk720x471.jpg ) and a (rather customized) Emacs when I'm programming. I spend 90% of my programming time in front of my terminal - so it makes sense for me to opt

Rainbow tables are useless against any marginally modern crypto scheme (e.g., any that has a salt). I imagine a child pornographer (if they were using crypto at all) would likely use some simple off-the shelf software like Truecrypt - which

People have (severely) bounded rationality and don't continue the induction to its logical conclusion. As proof simply see the 'guess 2/3rds of the average' game ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_2/3_of_the_average ). As a quick summary:

I think Python 3 suffers from attempting to be compatible with Python 2. It should have been a clean break with major repairs and reconstruction, as the original Python 3000 was intended to be. Hang the expense, let's make this language _r

Technical founders who don’t sell also use bad proxies (”Harvard MBA!”) So, what's a better proxy for figuring out who a good business/sales co-founder is? (I ask as a tech guy with a Harvard MBA co-founder ;-))

As a non-ruby dev, it isn't obvious to me that I should grep 'Homme' instead of 'HommeController' ... A statically typed language with a good IDE (yes, like Java) will find almost all these errors for you as you type (excepting config file

I don't get how they get around the fit issue. Whenever I've been dragged dress shopping, I've never seen a girl try less than a dozen dresses before finding one that she thinks accentuates the right things, hangs right, etc. I would never

Am I missing something? 1000 hrs /(24 hrs/day) = 41.67 days And I don't think 'genetic algorithm' means what you think it means. All a GA does is try to find the max/min of some function. It is basically just hill climbing with a bit of ran

Yeah, that vibes with I've seen in SBCL (and been told about CCL). Thanks for the inside scoop.

IIRC, ITA Software (one of the biggest Lisp houses in the world ...) uses SBCL for their main QPX project. A few years ago when they were starting the new Polaris project, they decided to go with CCL instead of continuing with SBCL. My unde

I personally use SBCL, but I've heard a lot of people use Clozure Common Lisp ( http://www.clozure.com/clozurecl.html ) because it has better Slime integration (better stack frame inspector, etc). The very best tools are probably Allegro CL
