How can anyone even approach this with a straight face? You don't even know what they are computing! If you want to question clojure's performance for technical reasons, do that. But let's not use feelings, and instincts in discussions abou

Claiming that windows and mac laptops have more trouble working with a projector than Linux is bold indeed, and I think very misleading. Strangely, in all the time I've been to talks, I've never seen a single Windows or Mac laptop have any

This sort of attitude is disgusting. As if the the majority of US citizens can not be classified as crime-prone peasants in one wanted to say it. The US is a county of immigrants. The US is only 300 years old and it's hugely amusing to see

It would be huge news if true. Unfortunately, arXiv is not peer reviewed. Thus it needs to be thoroughly examined before it has any merit. I have no idea if anyone is actually looking at this particular claim. Non-peer reviewed claims are n

Oh wait, this is a SAN. I assume then that the ls is over the network and not done on a Solaris box? If that is the case, then it is very much some sort of non-typical problem. I guess there are also other factors here. Were the SATA drives

I have run into this problem myself. It is actually a problem with the Solaris ls and related utilities, and not with ZFS. I solved it by compiling some relevant GNU versions of utilities like find, which have some important performance imp

I completely agree with your first paragraph. It is amazing to see Stallman, the very founder and long time advocate of "Free" software and the GPL, admitting that a closed and open approach to software is needed. That seems very differen

I'm not sure if it's still true for Windows 7, but I remember that XP also used some BSD code in the network stack. The challenge shouldn't really be eye opening. Free working code will make its way into many pieces of software. Your second

Please give up on digg bait. It's an unhelpful useless addition that only serves to insult people. What does insulting primary digg users get you? It's now gotten you two negative replies, and derailed the conversation from its original pur

Said in a simpler way: either Linux is poorly designed, or that amount of code is necessary for a general purpose kernel. This assumes that someone needs and actively maintains every feature in the code.

Does bloat mean too many features? In that case I'd say those features are there because someone needs them. They don't all have to be loaded. In a monolithic kernel that has modules, load the ones you need. In a microkernel, load and unloa

Considering we've already simulated the basic building blocks of our brain and understand all the basic molecules involved, I'd say that we already have a very strong indication that we can eventually have a machine conciseness similar to o

For a long time I thought I followed the same schedule. Since I'm in grad school, I decided to experiment with that. I found that I was not a night person after all. Rather, anxiety and thinking about a given problem kept me up indefinitely

Isn't this bordering on illegal? It sounds like they want to resell one ISP's bandwidth to another. As I understand it ISPs are already upset about bittorrent because it circumvents their commercial upload services by hijacking consumer ban
