So true. I had to read the entirety of the JSP spec (and a few others) when I was an intern to help the company do some static analysis things. I also read a good chunk of Tomcat. Sun had this grand vision of App servers which you could jus

ROLEX also values your memory. Scrolling that page caused my Firefox to jump in memory size by about 1GB. "Works as intended."

I have found that this says more about the ability of the management and less about the ideas underpinning remote work. Large companies figured out some time ago that they could have a large remote workforce. So it isn't just Basecamp

I saw a presentation at a departmental colloquium 3 years ago which demonstrated similar capabilities. The point is, car companies are not responding well to this threat even though it is well known to them . In such situations it is in th

Another cool thing you can do is solve the 8-Queens problem. There is a great write up at : http://www.andreas-dewes.de/en/2015/queens-of-the-data-age-a...

Great project. I enjoyed reading over your code for Volumes and Stores. I have worked on similar things in Go to support B+Trees. Finding the right level of abstraction is difficult for those pieces and I am never sure that I have found it.

Question 2 is : Is reading an uninitialised variable or struct member (with a current mainstream compiler): (This might either be due to a bug or be intentional, e.g. when copying a partially initialised struct, or to output, hash, or set s

I am always interested in what powers these tools under the hood. I had to learn the hard way, you do not write a program analysis tool from scratch, if you can help it. I know I have tried. It is too much for one person to do. So what is p

Agreed. As a high schooler I loved sourceforge. I would talk it up to people and I had a couple of projects that I put up there. I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Then I saw that famous talk by Linus on git in 2007 ( https

With Nix it seems like the technology is there. It works. It has a superior model compared with other systems. However, it lacks a corporate sponsor or large community to make it "professional-grade". Canonical and RedHat make the

Not a very useful article from the perspective of you are the point where you need to take some control over memory management in Go. The article spends a lot of time telling you should probably don't have that problem or you are not g

While we are at it Python: >>> sum(x*x for x in xrange(1,11)) 385 You could use a map in Python as well, but really, the generator expression is much cleaner: >>> sum(map(lambda x: x*x, xrange(1,11)))

+1 on all of those books. If you are interested in multi-dimensional indices (R-Trees, M-Trees, and many more exotic ones). You should checkout "Foundations of Multidimensional and Metric Data Structures" by Hanan Samet. Very comp

Agreed. I remember being very inspired by some of his papers when I started studying databases in grad school. His work along with all of those who developed the B-Tree and its variants[1] is really foundational to data storage and retrieva

I think the parent was referring to typing at a steady tempo not typing with a single key at a time. I rarely type with tempo at a computer. It would be interesting (and challenging!) to try.

You can always use another code review tool to do pull requests. You can also do it the way Linus does with pull request emails (git request-pull). It isn't really a deal breaker to not have it built in. There are other ways to use git

From my perspective the problem with water in the US is that no one is charged for the actual water. You are only charged for the processing costs. This means that the market never acts to regulate how much water you use. People will use le

Docker isn't a VM? In docker everything is native code. There is no emulation. It uses OS level sandboxing primitives to provide protection and isolation. Running an application in docker gives you the same performance profile as runni
