I picked up a Z10 a few days ago and have been using it as my primary (only) phone. I'll say that it has a ton of promise. It's perfectly snappy, the screen's resolution is stunning (although the colors aren't as good as what you'd get from

Which is why I gave my example of how I thought "with" would look like in Ruby (as it turns out I missed some exception handling in order for it to be equivalent to the Python version in functionality). What you can't do, though, is expre

I'm not honestly sure I can. I can certainly do merge sort and a really naive quicksort, but bubblesort's not something I've ever written, nor have I even seen a description of the algorithm since my freshmen year of college or earlier. T

Current regulations bar NASA from building or researching fueled nuclear devices I'm not sure what the author means here, but the Mars Curiosity Rover (on its way to Mars right now) is powered by a nuclear device (an RTG). Maybe NASA jus

So how do you address the points made in the GP post? Specifically, attacks, hardware failures, other issues that immediately impact customers? I assume that you don't wait until monday to address a failure that occurs thursday night, rig

webkit is the rendering engine used by chrome (and safari and konqueror and probably others). In what way are they replacing it with chrome?

So between this and gdev ( https://github.com/shinpei0208/gdev ), is it now (or soon to be) possible to write CUDA in Linux with both an open toolchain and without the nVidia binary blob for video cards? Or am I misunderstanding what's goi

I believe that ISO2022 allows for the full set of japanese names (and has some sort of process for introducing new kanji). That's probably a big part of the reason that Ruby's strings are bytes with an encoding attribute, rather than just

It took 3 days of work-up and 4 teams' brains to make the final diagnosis of early Crohn's disease. 3 days and 4 teams working on one guy's stomach ache? Was this guy a Saudi prince? Seriously, I think we've already established that the

I appreciate Ron Paul in that when he says small government, he means it, including giving us freedoms that social conservatives believe are morally objectionable. Ok, I wanted to stay out of this political discussion, but I just can't st

What you're looking for is a 2-year tech degree in programming. Universities aren't about churning out factory workers; they're about education. That's why, when you go to a good college or university, you'll be studying history, language

I tend to get considerable pain in my forearms when I've been typing too much for too long, and I've found the easiest thing that helps is rock climbing. As little as an hour a week is enough to keep the pain and discomfort away, and it on

Breast feeding is a natural thing and should be accepted in public by society. I think you want to re-think your logic here. There are a lot of natural acts (e.g. defecation, sex, dying of tuberculosis) that aren't generally accepted as

That touchscreen definitely concerns me. I used to drive a Saab 900, and my favorite feature was this big "black panel" button that shut off all interior lights save the speedometer (when the fuel hit 1/4 tank, that backlight also turned o

Riak has secondary indices, and map/reduce for ad-hoc queries. You can store raw binary data in it, and it's happy with that, but if you store JSON then it can query it. From what I can tell, the biggest difference between Riak and Bigcou

Yup. For haskell users, I have a trivial fork of Mailrank's riak-haskell-client that is tested to work with riak-1.0rc1; I haven't tried the secondary indices stuff yet, but it's possible that it would work too. It's at https://github.co

lambdas can be really nice for use with python's more functional builtins, like filter, map, and sort. As an example, suppose you have a list like this: x = [{1: 'b', 2: 'a'}, {1:'a', 2:'b'}] You want to sort it on the value at the

I guess the biggest problem I have trying to figure out Enumeratees is that I want them to transform Enumerators into other Enumerators, but they seem to do something different, and I'm not exactly sure what. Enumeratees are actually Itera

It looks like you guys are using the iteratee library; why did you choose that over the enumerator one? I've been trying to learn enumerator, mostly because it's what Snap is built on, but I'd love to hear about why one is better than the

I'm guessing it may be even smaller than a file filled with zeroes. If I were doing it, I'd use a sparse file, so it only takes a few blocks, but (sans compression) would take a long time to download. Like this: tsuraan@macbeth ~ $ dd
