Reminds me a little too much of the regrets of the dying[1]. Ingrained deep within our mammalian brains is the instinctual desire for community and personal intimacy. We'd do well to remember ourselves and what makes us happy before

I fully agree with you in this particular case; it's clear the philanthropist has added more value to humanity than was taken away. Still, it's worth evaluating the person within different contexts: a ruthless businessman taking

How does PNaCl differ beyond intermediate representation from asm.js? They both seem to focus on providing cross compiling into a browser environment with the latter already having compatibility across the entire set of javascript interpre

But will it? The value of enterprise solutions are often times validated by consistency: it's nice to have a megalithic company with a proven track record of hitting their SLA. Personally, I don't use Microsoft (or Apple for tha

This is excellent news for Chromecast owners. We've been hearing about pending support for Chromecast since it was first released but basically nothing had come of it. Give me a few more digital sources (I'm looking at you Amazo

The DC local government is somewhat remarkable in how corrupt it is. It seems like every other day some major political player gets indicted for corruption of some sort.

True investigative journalism is a remarkably expensive process with little chance of recouping overall costs. Even after the initial draft, an extraordinary amount of fact checking and editorial requirements/standards are applied to

I would add a few more: Pick Scala if: -You find value in strong static assurances. -You find value in generics. -You want to learn functional programming, not 'functional' programming (and you should). -You valu

I really don't get a sense of what NiDIUM actually _does_. Is it a framework? A platform? A library? Where does it run? How am I supposed to deploy it? What use case does it solve that doesn't already have existing solutions

For me, knowing they are unsanctioned keeps the memories of reading calvin and hobbes completely pure: this isn't them as they were intended to be, but bastardized facsimiles for the purpose commercial gain. It's somewhat poignan

I'm with you: I like good old dead tree books for so many reasons such as writing in the margins. They should follow Manning books philosophy and also discount physical books as well, a feature which has resulted in my acquiring 10+ b

I'm a bit more worried about the security aspect of it. Let's say that we are running a server on a port which uses this option to allow multiple processes to bind to it. What's to prevent a rogue process, perhaps with malic

Since I spend so much time in deeply nested source trees (shakes fits at Maven) with multiple different languages at play, I was finding it tedious to jump around to different files, or discover where a method/class was defined. I wrot

I haven't watched the video yet but I have read through the slides and found them to be rather honest. I really do enjoy presentations where the tradeoffs for using a technology are well displayed rather than disguised in other forms.

One of the big issues I have with its simplicity is that it seriously constrains expressibility; there are many designs that are simply off the table since they cannot be adequately defined. Now flexibility certainly comes with a cost: ther

Materialized Views! Well, sort of; it appears they don't automatically refresh when data has been updated in the underlying tables ala Oracle's implementation, but this gets you rather close.
