I was really surprised with the R&D number and thought it was incorrect since I knew the spending to be small. Just checked that in the last 2/3 years there has been a major upgrade in R&D spending. Not sure where all the money

I think this looks to be the more plausible reason for massive executive pay than anything else. I remember watching a documentary about F1 and there was a comment about Bernie Ecclestone made everyone understand that they have to work toge

This is beyond shameless but I'm not surprised that this happens. Big players of copyright seems be doing this sort of thing all the time and getting away with it. This comes from the same mindset that allow a original video by the aut

As I was saying down the thread, I think its fair to say that Tesla use the autopilot naming because it sounds catchy and better than the terms rest of the world use. I think its a conscious marketing decision to make their look better when

by tmd83 10y ago
Do you disagree that Tesla is using autopilot and not 'drive assist' or something like that to make the potential think their implementation is so much better than the rest of the world? Or the fact that they don't push so mu

What is the current recommendation for iteration count for pbkdf2?

Very well said. Its a stark contrast to how Yann Collet acknowledges others inspiration and collaboration ( http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/12/finite-state-entr... )

Zstd was a work in progress when Apple released LZFSE even though it was already seeming to be better than LZFSE. But apple needed a finished product and at the time of the release it looked to be the state of the art (released) in a combin

by tmd83 10y ago
Thanks for this. Down the thread I was asking exactly for this. And it seems Zstd is significantly better. We would of course need a wider range of data to really judge this. One thing could be that apple's work started before or in pa

by tmd83 10y ago
Thats kind of what I thought when it came out. Zstd is closest to it both in terms of characteristic and concept. It would be nice to have a head to head comparison between the two. Zstd & LZ4 being the work of single developer is amazi

I have seen how G1 suppose to have this one flag but I often get a bad feeling about G1 (without really using it much). It seems it reduces average GC pauses but performs really bad in the really lower (CMS) range. One of thing that looked

Value types would hopefully get a big help in terms of getting the JVM GC better once the SDK and popular libraries full utilize it, both by reducing memory pressure and making the heap more GC friendly.

This is such an irritant. Everyone supports variable size IN clause in the form of a sub-select AFAIK. You should be able to abstract the parsing and have an api to address that. Yet for years its missing and you end up all sorts of garbage

I didn't understand fully what it took to achieve this but simply looking at the numbers it is so clear how impressive the work is. Near or better performance with enormously fast build time, significant improvement in incremental comp

This looks super useful for making things super reliable e.g., your core service kind of thing. Also if you are writing sort of critical high perf libraries/utility like a resource pool, cache, transaction manager .. the latency &

What I found more interesting is that 652 looks a very nice chip and its priced at $500, 1440p, 64G with all the tagno stuff for a specialized product. Why can't we have a $300-$350 phone with snapdragon 652, 1080p from most manufactur

If you want a bit realism there you might casually show the clock to make the user realize that while it was 2 minute on camera the actual time was much more.

I was just skimming the post and found the redefining of 'using' very surprising. The old 'using' was for callsite reusability and the new one is for declaration. Optimizing for declaration site (which would be so few co

Down the thread in the quora answer there is mention of US airbags deploying at higher pressure to try safeguarding people who aren't wearing seat belts. Could that potentially make the US versions more failure prone and unsafe?

Probably missing something. Both are working on one file at a time and have some form of changeset. One is adding from back to forward (kind of) another is from forward to back (rcs). Not sure where the reduction of work coming from.

'Entropy doesn't get depleted' seems to be something that I have read in many places yet the Linux kernel dev doesn't seem to focus too much on that. Any reason for them missing the point? It seems you would want to slow

Yup nice advices. The biggest trouble with GC is that there are so few absolute numbers and so the gotchas can be hard to understand for most people. Luckily most aren't usually affected by them. Often time bad allocation practices wil

I also agree that the web is full of bloat and a mishmash of compromised features. I think you can design a web thats more powerful yet simpler if you actually solve the problems in a more forward thinking manner. For example there has been

We are thinking about moving to PrinceXml from java flyingsaucer which doesn't deal with newer html construct. Looks to be really good but good to have other feedbacks.

by tmd83 11y ago
Are all these actual construction or some of them are just design? Loved all of them but the Sleuk Rith Institute left me speechless. I would have assumed it as an exotic cinema set.

Anyone has a solution to make pdf from html thats hosted. The java library flyingsaucer is stuck at css 2.1 and not much maintained. I have been meaning to check wkhtmltopdf which will need launching a process but might be the best bet for

Yup. I have never had much luck with support except sort of some big known problems or something where you can afford a lot of time. Most of the time you end up figuring out the problem or a workaround long before it gets pushed to some rea

Sourceforge UI could be improved a lot but that doesn't mean the SCM has nothing to do with GitHub's success. They have thought it up alright but the GitHub model of network and connection is the extension of the natural flow of G
