This is probably true for many people. But some of the best work in history was produced exclusively by people in solitude. In fact, without thinking in solitude first, most people cannot have meaningful in-depth conversation with people in

Focus on interface rather than object. Embrace explicit state with state machines and events.

People should only have strong opinions because they have convincing evidence. The point of the statement is that despite the fact you have convincing evidence from your perspective, you need to consider the possibility that your perspectiv

> entries = new ArrayList<Integer>() {{ add(3); add(4); }} Nah, entries = Arrays.asList(3, 4); Scala is pretty sweet with a lot of syntactic sugars, but it still it doesn't fundamentally make writing correct code any faster, esp

I don't think so. At least 4 companies' codebase have their own assert/contractual macros specifically for this reasons. Such code will never pass a cursory review at these companies. This is a C-noob bug, IMO.

When I was just starting to play with Scala 5 years ago, I found a lot of stuff that's "cool/neat/tight/convenient", I've since watched the language grow into a monster that's trying too hard to be Java++. The xml embedding syntax that look

Well, Chrome must be broken then, as it's a validated HTML 5 page. It works with FF with noscript (with the domain blocked). Frankly, I have a hunch that people who care about javascript security don't use Chrome. No chrome until noscript.

The article is from 2008. Since then, the so called parallel DB goes no where, and Hadoop takes over the world. The main problem of traditional (OLAP) DBMS in the era of big data is that ETL (Extract/Transform/Load) becomes the main bottle

"The only freely-available tool that attempts to provide both of these is zookeeper, but zookeeper is specialized, focused on locking and server management. We need a general-purpose tool that provides the same guarantees in a clean, well-d

hsqldb is more than adequate for a diaspora node. diaspora in a jar is completely doable and outperforms any rails/django setup.

No. The existing Filesystem abstractions conflate namespace APIs and storage APIs and handle both poorly. It's time to break'em apart! What we need is storage atom/fabric APIs that provide individual namespace (tagging, hierarchical or what

uh, the -g compiler flag to enable debugging will create much more disturbance than a few printf ever could, debuggers are mostly useless for tracking down race conditions as they change the timing completely. OTOH, I'd use a low overhead l

You know, it'd be more convincing if you can come up with reproducible benchmarks to backup your claims. According to This guy's data: http://www.codexon.com/posts/debunking-the-erlang-and-haskel... Haskell is even slower than python (whi

The strength of Bayesian filters is that they tailor to individuals, i.e., everyone can have a different model. An open source "well-trained" one is trivial to subvert.

It really depends on the data. For highly redundant data like web pages with lots of boilerplate header/footer, it can compress better because the bm_pack (first pass of bmz) looks for large common patterns over all the input. For typical t

That's why it's important to know about 83b election to cap the tax rate at 15%. Any start-up lawyer/law firm worth its salt would do this for you as part of the pile of forms to sign when you incorporate.
