GG&S: I had two separate MDs at a gym off campus and the head of my dept (biomedical informatics) exclaim "that's the best book I ever read!"

Exactly. Wealth transfer and mobility for some, but not growing a middle class sufficiently to realize these artificial investments. China could invest more in better equiping people to make and earn more value, so they can afford cleaner&

Isnt there an entire replica of Paris with barely 1k people? How can value be justified with whole half-finished cities with no customers? Sounds like deferring a real-estate crash is only making a future event even more painful when that p

"OpenZFS" actually means ZoL, the only way to legally ship meant dkms until now, unless there has been CDDL/GPL reinterpretation, a different codebase or agreement with Redwood Shores. The three concerns are stability (battl

Most previous jailbreaks required an unlocked device with passcode disabled and find my iphone turned off (because passcode encrypts things). I'm still waiting for JB for 9.2.1 or 9.3 when released but there are already semijailbreaks

Tim Cook: a really nice guy with blue whale-sized cohones. There can be no compromise because China, Syria and Turkey would also lean on Apple to break into phones of dissidents, and pretty soon, future whistleblowers here in US too in orde

Controllers are important for being gatekeepers, which can be adjusted (think middlewares which add security, logging or other changes uniformly) and inspected outside of the MVC code, and separates outside from inside. It might be worth th

It's still at the mercy of Apple, Intel and all the other opaque firmware vendors and microcode updates. Plus, it's not nearly UNIX enough, the damn linker doesnt do linker scripts so good luck developing non-xnu kernels without

Isn't the bigger issues China's structural draconian limits to freer movement of capital, external investment, the imaginary/real value of ghost cities and scale of holding illiquid foreign debt?

All kidding about killer chairs aside, hacked self-parking chairs could potentially convoy over to a security door and pop it open, leading to a real robbery or industial espionage, or any number of other funny or embarrassing scenarios.

I once had a cold-call recruiter tell me Go was worthless. I asked the recruiter to never call me again and hung up. People whom are both disrespectful and unable to see where their hockey puck sports analogies will be later on have margin

The analogy is wrong because most all languages are Turing complete, and therefore equivalent despite paradigm and feature differences. The main reason seL4 was written in Haskell and again in C was to cross-verify behavior. C might be lega

Oracle JVM/OpenJDK and .net CLR are deployed in production at basically every profitable company on Earth. PHP... Is deployed because it's perceived to be easier and friendlier than other religions, and so wins with that popularit

The overall goal of reducing deployed LOC, complexity and low-level boilerplate is laudable and doable so by using a C isomorphic linking language (can call into and can call from) to gradually, experimenting by converting one module at a t

Most of these single system image clusters have used custom, fast interconnects akin to Inifinband or hypertransport to ameliorate locality issues (latency and bandwidth)... Without such, it's neigh impossible without pinning all resou

There's only so many TB of ram / disk and cores that can fit in one box for sensible cost, whereas it's usually far cheaper and less limited to just add more boxes, plus the SPoF of one giant box. It usually indicates develop

Maybe I wasnt clear enough: what happens to these unfortunate folks that hand in bricked phones whom are unable to erase content? Refurbished by third parties, sent to engineering, recycled?

Computing's RAID0 with worse performance and worse reliability. With traditional enterprise hypervisors, boxes are sized for least TCO and to be large enough to comfortably hold the largest VM... and then the farm is usually sized to h

How was customer data erased or prevented from later being perused by employees on those "bricked" phones customers have swapped out? Because customer data would still be intact if such a device were looked at by engineering or o
