I had heard earlier indications that it was the Javascript in PDF vulnerability that was partially at fault. That began getting publicized a bit before the Google newsbomb, so there may be some truth to that.

You'll probably still get periods when your service is slower than other times, because you're sharing the network either way. Anyway, I recommend Softlayer. A bit more expensive than Linode but at least you aren't sharing the server with o

So you're saying human evolution (what our bodies have evolved to digest and process over the past half million years) should have no bearing on what we eat today? I think that's the silly part.

have you ever tried to use Processing for business? i did some visualization/art stuff that maxed out at 20-30 fps in processing, and was easier to do and ran at 100+ fps in vvvv. it's a toy.

This is very interesting, thank you. Any others like this? I'll contribute something to you, in return: if you're interested in graph-based audio/visual programming, check out vvvv for Windows. It's like Processing, but visual (i.e., design

Compared to my early 20s, I'm also better at remembering names and conversations, but worse at remembering insignificant things like what I wore the day before or whether or not I locked the front door. I'm also much better at seeing connec

is it really faster to write to a bunch of text files, sort them to a new bigger text file, and then do the insert? seems like a lot of extra steps, all involving a lot of reading and writing..

has anyone used R for non-math projects? it has some very interesting features but i'm not sure how well it would hold up for large projects, complicated data structures, etc.

Flot isn't really targeted to time series data but it works pretty well in our uses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm not a British citizen so my understanding of the nature of publicly funded work may be a bit different, but if they are colluding to change the results of a study paid for with public monies and destroy evid

Maybe someone should write a parse transform for dealing with them?

Yeah, but still: it lets you operate on unicode "characters" pretty easily. With a ton of associated downsides (unclear string/list of integers dichotomy, wasted memory for ascii, etc)

the real nightmare here is that this is going to cast a huge shadow on legitimate climate research -- and science in general -- for many years to come. these douchebags need to rot in jail for a long time.

Unfortunately the source is rather poorly coded - it's Arthur's "K in every language" style of C - and A+ has a lot of assumptions that I'm not comfortable with. I'd love a modernized K interpreter suitable for use by stylish gentlemen. Whi

Will one of you geniuses hurry up and write an open source K interpreter? It's not that complex of a language to parse..
