This was actually a major security issue on some gov't websites point out a while back. Something about obama's blog's admin page using 3rd party google analytics... I can understand something like cloudflare or other major v

I suspect some type of minecraft style chunking mechanism.

my friend has been working on something like this. he'll occasionally have it up on dev.normanreed.com We've been investigating tools like hand.js and paper.js to get it done.

I'd like to think a distributed workload model would help take the pressure off of needing to have the bottlenecks that come from #3. I imagine a valve like bazaar system - with groups forming spontaneously as the need for leadership a

I remember something like this. I wrote a bot to play the game of life on it by interacting with the undocumented javascript via chrome's console.

I hope Ceph can takes cues from this and be able to do geo-replication at scale.

Could you get more information on this?

Cool. I'd love to know more about what makes your system awesome - It is a very creative idea! Have you thoguht about creating a DTD out of the schema or vice-versa. Having a DTD to validate the file against would allow for some serio

I think the first use of the term 'vector' is more conceptual - but is actually defining a string type that is implemented using a c-style string strategy. The second mention "Vector" is a more direct reference to the C+

I've had good luck using tools like Pandoc as part of a workflow to translate between various messes.

I really wish people would use word's features - having the entire document marked up with appropriate headings makes its a breeze to go through and restyle a document. I find that while collaborating on things, I have to make a pass t

I found the reverse to be true - Learning FP paradigm stuff in Scala helped me pick up C#. Finding out about Linq made me research functional-relational mapping for Scala. FRM makes so much sense to me.

I'm curious if you could recommend a way to do parametric design with SolidWorks. The way my friend was doing it, the system ended up chugging like a pig and he had a rather impressive machine. I'd prefer a system involved with a

Its a pretty big rift from my perspective. We were right alongside mechanical and architectural majore at VTC, they all learned some really crufty cad programs. The worst was SolidWworks, scripting that thing is a pig if damn near impossib

Tl;DR: Management Anti-Patterns are rife in the industry because they appear to solve problems at first glance - and they do work because they reach a local maxima. See the six-sigma cults that are little more than cargo cultists running ar

Comparing Perl to COBOL makes me think you've programmed in neither. edit here's some background on the Perl linguistics angle: http://world.std.com/~swmcd/steven/perl/linguistics.html

I learned Perl in college. It was also my first introduction to Linux. Having many Linux oriented commands baked in as first class citizens really helped cement a lot of complex concepts in my mind. That being said, teaching a language, vs

We have tons of lightbulbs in our house that are in shitty fixtures with dimmer switches... none of the bulbs are rated for dimmers. Roommates keep buying more bad light-bulbs. The ones they keep putting on teh porch during the winter die a

Sounds like a bit of a simplification though. There are surely more other incentives involved with what companies they fund.

my mom bought me a stuffed animal from Walmart, and I know more people who play it on the xbox in real life... and I know at least 150 pc gamers personally through heading up VTC's gaming club. I'm pretty sure the business angle

So, javascript? Scala has been ported to javascript so I think that basically implies most of the languages targeting the JVM could also be.

But the other 90% of the time that something does come through, it is something that likely wouldn't have been able to come to market to begin with. Granted some of those are for a good reason...

Have you looked into Google's managed mysql or nosql options? I'd be curious to see how they compare to what you are doing on azure.

Would a Quorum ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum_(distributed_computing) ) method - like done with Ceph's monitoring system agents - be able to handle this? I mean, you still may end up with the split-brain pr

Yes, in Linus's case, it is a faster overall runtime, but such a stark difference in cycle times is a bit of an eyebrow raiser. Caching is supposed to speed things up, so it is kinda silly that the caching system has somehow gone backw

So dell can predict when their parts fail, and charge you for it? I thought the warranty period thing was a myth...

I does mention freebies in the patent - that would assume they have a confidence level where they ship something to you before it's bought.
