IPv4+NAT still works well, because the internet is more and more centralized. Sadly.

A very simple way of avoiding deadlock (circular dependencies) is to grab locks in a fixed order (if you want to get the N+1th lock then you have to acquire all of them from 1 to N. This way you avoid the situation where thread 1 has alread

Java as a language is still very simple. Frameworks are complicated -- but I doubt this can be avoided in the long run, Go will have similar problems.

If we stick to IQ as the definition of 'cleverness' (which can be argued, of course), then this is not really true. IQ cannot be significantly increased with learning, conversation, etc. I used to be* a Mensa member, and it's

It is not that simple thought. The simple $1 McDonalds burger has one of the best value/price ratio in the history of the human nutrition. "The double cheeseburger provides 390 calories, 23 grams of protein – half a daily serving

Web people, please don't start to use effects that are only supported by one single rendering engine (okay, Blink+Webkit).

Maybe in some circles, yes. Many of us have had a career in industries where open-source contributions were basically out of question. I think Hejlsberg, Carmack, etc. are pretty respected and qualified despite not having 10k followers on G

Well, Win10 is the 'last Windows' according to MS, so this will probably arrive as an update later.

TBH I much more like the OneDrive approach when photo sharing is unified with storage, and the photos can alternatively be organized into albums ('views' on the data).

It's slightly tricky because people usually upvote what they are interested in. Therefore if a big bunch of people are interested in Win10, then it is just completely normal if they upvote these topics. Similarly, basically every new A

Yes, but Win10 will also bring display-dependent scaling, i.e. you will able to manually set a different scaling level per display.

Yes, Task View and Mission Control are similar. I don't think that this speed comparison is very useful, but in my experience the graphics drivers under Windows are significantly better than on OSX or on Linux. (I run Ubuntu, OSX and W

Partly because they want to do fundamental research, not R&D. This means they don't necessarily have a well specified set of problems where they'd need neural networks, but they want to understand biological neural nets. One a

In short, you're pushing the ball around, and the force you use depends on three things: - how far the ball is from the target (P, proportional) - how far the ball has been from the target over time (I, integrator), so if you are very
