On a Mac, I'm often puzzled why the OS says both "you're low on disk space" *and* "you have 23GB available" on thr same disk.

Problem discovery and formulation definitely needs to be taught and practiced relative to solutions. Who'd you think has more expertise on a topic - a fellow student who can crack tough exams or one who can set challenging exam papers?

Yes it does seem way off the mark. Seems better to give the money to the individuals on promise of turning around their lives .. in non-violent cases. (I'm not totally serious here, just expressing that some/most criminals may cho

Nice to see sqlite3 as the file format of choice. It is known to be quite a bit faster than the file system for large number of small files .. though I'm not sure Audacity's case aligns with that. The file system is expected to be

You're right on both counts. The mechanism of implementation will be very close .. which is what is in the proposal too. Having programmed in Erlang, I feel that the notation (i.e. syntax) influences moment to moment thinking. So if th

(some thoughts) The "actor properties can only be accessed via self." constraint seems a very elegant and simple static expression that is understandable in a program. Love it. On top of that, the rest of the proposal appears to s

I'm.going to say the most wrong answer for this ...just because I think not enough people know about this possibility - Use fossil-scm! You an run it on a cheap server and get collaboration, wiki, tickets all packed into a single sqlit

Erlang is perhaps the best OO lang out there that doesn't look like one but it's principles are the heart of OO. PS: I admit I lost the author at "scala is my favourite language" and so am biased.

The article ends with a stated goal of measuring the gravity of masses of the order of 10^-8 kg or about 10 micrograms. This reminded me of a calculation involving known fundamental constants - h, G, c - to derive dimensionless units for ma

From a personal perspective (Indian here), it feels odd that this would make news. I've been a fairly good "performer" at high school and have always had a hard time getting the better of my girl classmates. The acad stuff ju

There's a certain corollary effect to what you describe that perhaps applies to "modern" interfaces (both web and native desktop/mobile). Concurrency is excellent as an idea for systems design but horrible for user inter

I don't know these books, but I was wondering that given they are for children, couldn't they instead serve to initiate critical thinking about race bias?

I'd say a goal of "do useful stuff extremely well and complex stuff reasonably well" would make for a good demo.

Sorry but the plasmadev demo doesn't pass muster compared to 60fps animations we were able to do years ago with html+js. Something about the renderer approach is causing hiccups in the animation. "Buttery smooth animations and scr

With you. Something more like "element family" where all kith and kin can use it would be more valuable. 5 users for a household is ... weak use case.

It is common for lisp folks to chime in at this point to iterate the value of s-expressions. While this is one such, but I actually have an evolution story about this which I shared in a talk here - http://sriku.org/posts&#x

This looks spot on.as I understand, what you're saying is that folks curious about computers shouldn't expect others in general to be curious about them too, despite their ubiquity?

That's today, but it wasn't so initially. You'd learn about your monitor's scan modes, how the disk is structured, dumping bytes between devices, optimizing for load by placing bytes on the outer sectors of floppy disks,

My go-to for that has been Vega these days. Just love the conceptual model and I've actually been able to hold the key parta in my head, compared to most such tools.

The description and feature set sound like it is a platform built atop Kafka. Anyone with experience with it who can comment?
