Massive clickbait title. It's a story about Dennis Richie.

Yes, people are still working on it. It's not going to get built if no one tries.

Interesting technology, and it'll be fun to see how they market the technology since people just started understanding that incandescent = lots of energy = money. I wonder if LED technology will be able to keep up.

This tool is also great for verifying that you've built you APK correctly. I just used it for the past week diagnosing some issues with building an APK with Unity. It was invaluable.

Fascinating stuff. I wonder if anyone's done some searching in those archives for interesting or funny tidbits.

So it's not a Java bug, it's an Apache Commons-Collection bug. Granted, it's an extremely popular library, but it's not a "Java" bug.

And no one remembers VRML. Probably for good reason.

This is clearly marked part 1, I'd maybe wait for part 2 before saying that everything is broken.

That's correct, however that would involve some branching. In theory you could do a bit masking trick to use the same code, but that would end up much more complicated and slower than the presented eor hack. That being said, I'm p

Using existing air systems for these seems like a nice hack. It's something that's easily implemented, though I fail to see airlines implement it any time soon. There's no financial benefit to them for this. Someone having a

LICM is indeed very simple to do, I wrote it for a JIT emulator I was working on a while ago. It turns out that it's not always fast. There's a bunch of weird cases that happen that can destroy your performance. LICM is highly dep

It is absolutely marketing talk, there's other established terms for what that means but they elected to make up other terms. Perhaps they should take the lesson from this talk where they explicitly break down this exact term and expla

While this looks very interesting, and I'll probably push for using it in production shortly, I can't help but wonder what some of their marketing talk even means. non-blocking back pressure How does that even relate? All I can

Neat, a way to both learn Haskell and learn some basics of music theory. Fun stuff.

I worked at IBM for 5 years, and some of the teams I was on used "agile" development methods. In that they used the names, but our "scrums" were an hour long, in a meeting room, with everyone bringing their laptop. Manag

There's a few innovative approaches to this, some of the done in real time. The "histopyramid" approach is used in the demoscene, and it's explained in the Fairlight rendering secrets talk: https://www.youtube

That's strange, I flew from Toronto to Budapest through Munich, and Munich was by far the strictest security I encountered. They made my take off my shoes and sweatshirt. So it's maybe not "outside the US" just "in

This part definitely rings true to me: "We have very little idea about what makes good code, so it should come as no surprise that we have little-to-no idea how to find people who are good at coding, along with the dozens of complement

The article claims that this is only open to US customers? Those of us in other countries, like say Canada, have been going to Cuba for years, and having AirBnB would be great. Was this just a mis-type?

How about the lost art of COBOL record packing where COBOL records are like a combination of C's union and structs. It was great you could sometimes squeeze a few extra bits out in one case to use better in another case.

Wow, 60fps really does look fantastic in Super Mario Sunshine. Amazing that this kind of thing is possible now.

Turns out that most of these questions can be answered with just "arson", and I might even consider giving a further interview to someone that actually did.

I work in a game company that has paid overtime and this is exactly what's happening. Management tries very hard to not have any overtime as it's paid 1-1 into vacation time and eats directly into their budget. Those of us working
