Consider the risk of having the balloon go pop while he was still in the capsule. Mission shot to hell with no chance of recovery all for going beyond the design parameters of the balloon. They did well by playing it safe and not letting

I think that's reflective of how experience levels change your perspective on how to approach a problem. Someone with command line experience that is mostly a user of system utilities would think passing the output of ls through a filter is

You are entirely missing the point of this whole thing. It is exactly about showing how hard it is to get a trivial change right in every detail. Your 10 second hack is what is wrong with 10 second hacks in general and even with most real s

They're both valid approaches. The one is classic sales copy, the other is the new hip web x.0 look. It's worth nothing that omniture pulls in a very very large amount of money, so they must be doing something right.

Well, I could be wrong but I swear did an 'F3' on the page earlier to search for Gosper and it seemed like it wasn't there then. Apologies for not being able to use a browser and falsely accusing you!

All you'd really need to do is to find a way to simulate 'regular' (discrete) life. Setting it up would be a major pain.

Mind blown pretty much describes what I felt like when I first came upon it. After spending a good bit of time optimizing 'life' having your ass handed to you by a large number of orders of magnitude courtesy of mr. Norvig is a good lesson

Fascinating, totally mesmerizing video. That's reminiscent of something that you could be observing under a microscope.

If you're going to buy one stock it doesn't really matter how much another stock will increase in the next year ;) (I'm prety sure that Appell Pete Corp would be psyched if enough people make this mistake).

It looks like someone forgot the locktite. The rover must have experienced lots of vibration on its long voyage, anything that wasn't secured properly could have vibrated loose. Vibration is a pretty weird thing, the forces can be enormous

That's one of the few chips that I still remember the pin-out for decades later. And a bunch of 74's. I don't know how many of those I consumed but they were a pretty steady item on the shopping list. RIP.

Well spotted! I missed that during the live webcast, there was absolutely no mention of it. Some people at SpaceX should be pretty hard to play poker against, there was 0 indication that they were aware of any issues. Bringing a RAID approa

I'm not here for the points. I'll spell it out for you: the JVM is the most widely deployed stack machine in use today. The fact that you don't normally program it directly using a stack-machine like interface does not diminish the fact tha

Start-ups generally don't have a problem until they get into the making-money or getting publicity stage. After that you'll pick up all kinds of parasites, patent trolls are only one of the many classes these fall into, and they're not near

The jvm is doing fine. A low level stack oriented language can be a target.

Thank you Jason, what a super list. And as a side effect, what a super compliment to those that work with you.
