Can you use daemontools to monitor/kill/restart processes that run out of memory but don't exit?

Visualizations like that are one of the few things swing is awesome at.

And EA and the other big game companies aren't just like them? The people that I know that pirate the most music do so off independents more than mainstream.

That's a brave move, charging for the aggregation of content, and getting the community who pays you to help write said content. I suspect if this takes off there will be a free alternative that takes this websites place in short order, reg

Can you provide a link to the series, I've never seen this and would love to take a look if you have the name.

I ordered mine back in July for a birthday last week! Gutted it didn't come in time. I'm imagining they must have had production issues and perhaps didn't anticipate the huge demand for these across the world.

Yes, I was surprised as well but if you think about it, it does makes sense. I'll dig around and see if I can find the paper.

There are some interesting papers on the equivalence of different learning algorithms (e.g. decision trees, logistic regression, svm, FF nn's). When it comes down to it, a lot of the "different" methods actually model the same thing in roug

The idea that anyone would setup a "clone" without wanting to be better is kind of strange.

If he wasn't "running" to his best, that would be my definition. Pacing yourself because you know you have another one is running a different race entirely, so the two are totally not comparable. It would certainly be interesting to see how

"Some nay-sayers wonder whether a 10-hour marathon really counts, arguing that it is little more than a lengthy sponsored walk." He redefined what it means to run a marathon, that's all. Trying to do this but running maximally would be anot

I would wager that a "fit" worker is more productive than a sedentary worker, even taking into account the time for training.

Agree on the public speaking idea and it has parallels to sport: The best athlete's are confident because they know they are the best prepared, not because they've practised being confident.

Surely the creation of course materials is a one time event with a small maintenance element. And every child in the world follows roughly the same curriculum, only the rates change. So it would follow that these should be available free fr

After a brief look at pubmed I was able to some good supporting evidence, showing significant, moderate (~1.0 cohen effect size) differences between groups using SRS vs other learning techniques. Is anyone who is more familiar with the rese

Arrghh. The quintessential anova experiments by cobb were done on 8 data points. All groups are different. Let me repeat. All groups have different means. The magnitude of the difference (difference between means) is called the effect size.

My point is that a better designed database, specifically for scalability may alter the point at which CAP becomes relevant for all but the largest problems. E.g. custom indexing, partitioning & caching algorithms. We see this with vert

I'll bite. There is nothing in the design of relational databases that specifies that a record must be fixed length. Most good dbs don't do this at all, simply using something akin to: Each row in your db has: row size: row data for each co

We recently deployed a system (linux based on a windows server with vmware) on a huge infrastructure provider. Every week the box was going down, and we asked why - it's because they reboot ALL microsoft servers once per week, across the en

The best method is using sec edgar filings. You find the largest public company in your market and download the most recent 10-k's (annual report). They are publically available, you do not need to pay (although some sites make it easy for

Long term this shouldn't be an issue at all. All our systems are currently controlled by our brain - why would next-gen machines be any different in our ability to control them? A guy I once met was partially blind. He decided to learn how

I see a lot of interesting claims but unfortunately no references in sight. E.g: "Some scientists trained a bunch of flatworms to react in a special way to light. They noted how long it took the worms to learn, then they cut the worms up an

You know, the best programmers/engineers I have known did almost no course work. The material was so easy they breezed through, while reading papers of interest or doing extra research projects with faculty. If you are truly interested in

I always wondered about that too - I talked to Jim a few years ago and was extremely interested in his research into circadian rhythm, travel adapation etc. Very interesting subject area.
