I don't think people criticize male CEOs as much for "having ideas and the will to pursue them." You can't say there isn't a gender-based double standard for CEOs obsessed with product to the degree that they someti

I don't really know anything about NLP, so I can't comment on the analysis quality. What I meant to say is that a full-on Linux container seems a bit overkill for distributing what is essentially just a python app. If I just wante

Uhh, is there really any point to using docker for this other than bragging rights?

Oh, okay, I just figured it out. http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_use_spaces_mac_os_... That was completely non-discoverable though.

Yeah, I've had plenty of problems with that in the past. I'm currently using an older version of the kernel. Apparently, the problem has been fixed in 3.11 (currently in rc). I'll just wait until that becomes stable before up

I don't think there is a way to tell your 7th grade peers you are going to a math camp for the summer that wouldn't end in mockery.

I don't think their reason for not developing a Linux version of Photoshop is "they're all freeloaders who won't buy the software". It's more likely "the number of people exclusively using Linux and want a

I'm currently running Archlinux on a Macbook air. The instructions in that wiki article were rather confusing. I had to fiddle around quite a bit to get the EFI boot manager to work. The wireless driver is shit cause the MBA uses a Bro

Workspaces? What workspaces? No, having a bunch of full screen apps does not count.

What exactly do you need your file manager to do? All I need is some handy buttons and icons to click in order to move around easily. Nautilus even has the ability to go directly to a specific directory by typing it out (with tab completion

So, hardware description languages, which are essentially flow-based programming languages, solve this using clocks and sensitivity lists. An FBPL for web programming would probably use events instead of edge/level triggers and timers
612.
by zhemao 13y ago
Okay, yeah, so I agree with most of the criticisms here. Flow-based languages didn't catch on because no-one came up with a really compelling general-purpose implementation that scales up to large, complex projects. It's not becau

This isn't precisely true. Git stores changes at the "blob" level. Large plaintext files (like a CSV) are generally split into several blobs. You are correct that git works badly for binary files, like images and compiled exe

As Egypt has shown, this is the quickest way to replace one power-hungry sociopath with another.

Or the power efficiency.

Came to the comment thread to see if anyone made that joke. Was not disappointed.

Fair enough.

Oh hey, sorry, just realized that you are actually the original author. See my comment above suggesting MusicXML instead, since it's more widely used and machine-readable. As for specifying times, you can use the note lengths and tempo
619.
by zhemao 13y ago
Actually, now that I think about it, it might be better to support MusicXML, which is more machine-readable (you just need an XML parser). Lilypond and many other music notation systems like Sibelius and Finale can export to it.

by zhemao 13y ago
Yeah, I was kidding about Docker in KVM in Docker. I know it would be a lot of overhead.
621.
by zhemao 13y ago
Have you thought about adding Lilypond import? http://lilypond.org/ That way you could allow users to upload their own songs.
622.
by zhemao 13y ago
Haha, I had a good laugh upon hearing that Docker cannot run inside of itself. Is this an LXC limitation? Clearly the solution was to run Docker inside of KVM inside of Docker. But seriously, nice job. I haven't used docker yet because

Okay, maybe I should rephrase it. It takes more than an hour to carefully think and analyze, and then implement the thing, and then make sure there aren't any bugs. Thinking things through beforehand makes the possibility of errors les

Yeah, that is rather annoying isn't it. It's like, do we really need yet another way to build a web application? Most of these frameworks don't seem to offer anything novel but rather re-implement the same MVC pattern over an

I'm sorry, but "I wish people would use spell check when writing blog post titles" comes across as rather sarcastic and rude. Perhaps you didn't mean it that way, but the internet removes all tone and context.

He was asking them to implement an LRU cache in C, hardly newfangled stuff. Plus they were kernel engineers, so it was supposedly their domain of expertise. I don't think he was suggesting that programmers have to keep always up to dat

by zhemao 13y ago
Well, he's fixed it now. We all make mistakes. Why not point it out politely instead of being snarky about it?

by zhemao 13y ago
I think it takes more than an hour to make something production-ready. Setting up test cases and tracing down memory errors and leaks is going to take a while, even (and I would think especially) for an experienced C programmer.
630.
by zhemao 13y ago
That's about it, except you have to keep track of the total size of your cache so you know when to start evicting. I didn't mean that it couldn't be done, I just thought that one hour was a bit short. I tried it myself and, a
