Does a few weekend projects on GitHub and blogging about it really count as "developing open source software"? Isn't this more like using the Open Source term to promote oneself? Compared to guys like Igor Sysoev churning aw

Ironic since the original comment complaints about too much diversity. Just because a good rant is recognised across cultures does not imply a loss of diversity. Somethings are just common on this planet, like gravity.

True, so called expert systems are nothing new, but the much improved ability to parse natural language and semantics is newish. It means the human-machine interface is easier to use and combined with portable access via tablets this might

Judy arrays are implemented as a trie and one of the cool things is that arrays can be sparse or dense. As a sparse array it is (almost) as fast as a hash table. As a dense array it basically works as a bit map which is one of, if not, the
