You can patent a data structure!? Seriously? This is straight up an abstract idea. I think non-abstract patents are beneficial and help society. This is just plain idiocy.

When my other half was going through her PhD, she was attempting to implement a signal processing approach to construct grids for FEM. Eventually adding some constraints led to an acceptable result. As she presented her findings at a confer

This is what I sometimes lament about astrophysics, N=1 is sufficient for proof. It's one observation of one event. You can't make any claims about that unless it's a direct violation of some which will occur 100% by theory. In this case th

The boomers are not the ones who got us into this mess. It was actually their parents. They paid for their parents and then expected their children (us) to likewise pay for them. In that time, the average life expectancy and cost to prolong

You do realize that this is a recipe for inordinate amounts of public debt that you and I will never have to pay but our children and grandchildren will. Much like Social Security, Cananda's unfunded liabilities are long term too great: ht

How do you shoot? I want to blow these guys up. Hysterical.

You guys are fantastic. You documentation is clear. The fact that you all live on the IRC channels makes obtaining information and help super simple.

Woke up with my stomach open as a child. No pain, I was lucky. Still remember them telling me it was alright. I hope they nail this as it will probably lead to the closest thing we can get to a hands free keyboard.

I disagree. If we can reclaim that algorithms are mathematical and therefore unpatentable we can regain our ability to actually innovate without fear.

We only run into big compilation speed problems when we have the following: 1) Code that is lumped into one gigantic JAR instead of being broken down into several different libraries that can be compiled faster. 2) Code that forces the comp

Medical treatments, vaccines, and drugs cost enormous amounts of money to bring to market due to all the regulations and requirements we've created ensuring a pill is not fatal. Why would any company in their right mind develop any sort of

That's not very hard to do with Scala. In fact, there's a few projects that have implemented whole other languages in Scala. Most languages that let you go near functional style do very well with DSLs and writing a DSL is one of the often h

I still like GridFS for simple distributed file systems and Redis for N-length lists of string and/or binary content. That said I have to agree with the author whole heartedly.

There are much nicer ways of calling someone out without belittling them in public space. That said, he's never been one to mind that. I have much respect for Linus and all he's accomplished but damn...

How do you upgrade firmware? My computer has one of those checks that looks for "windows" in the boot string. I just want to rip it out.

Is there a Sass fork of this or is most of the library found in Bourbon + Compass?

It's great that this was open sourced. Quite impressive what you've accomplished. For me to use it I'd also have to pay ExtJS $2500 and/or some combination of a fixed fee with royalty rights which I just can not do.

It's quite spot on for the past few years wherein we saw the stratospheric growth of software salaries. Remember, 2002 was right after the dot com bust and 2012 is at the peak of "angel" investing. Supply/demand can really change things.

Where's the link directly to what it is that your product does? It took me a few seconds to figure it out. If it weren't for the HN link I'd never know. What's the link to elepath doing in the middle of the floating guys? I had no idea what

Why not? It's pretty clear non-developers have absolutely every idea how long and hard developers have to work to get "simple" features done. And developers totally can measure soft skills like marketing and such. And in other news, those t

Let me add to what ctide has to say by asking this: "What problem does it solve?" Seriously, what problem are you solving? It has to fit in 2 sentences. If you can't come up with a concrete problem that this is solving, no one will pay for

This is great. When I was once looking to join a start-up I met with people who wanted to build a "social fitness food" website, a "social ebay where people shared the things they bid on," a ton of "new way to share music," a social "t-shir
