The engineer ends up under the car. The hacker doesn't even change the bulb.

Great article, Damien. This idea that network partitions are exceedingly rare was the reason why ElasticSearch goes CA vs. the AP many other NoSQL datastores choose. http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/CAP-theorem-... Not only

This is a great question. I can't speak to Facebook, but I ask hard algorithm questions and this is why I do it. The point of these hard questions is not to assess if you know some obscure algorithm. The algorithms in these questions are ob

Love seeing this. Is there a bigger Erlang community now in DC? I went to a meetup in 2011 and it was like 4 people.

The real question is whether aquaponics can create higher quality food than organic produce, which is not subsidized. Subsidies are also unsustainable in the long run. The major costs in aquaponics are in the technology, which will inevitab

I think the site load time is an allegory for how long it takes for the JVM to start up. There are some good links in this blog. If you are a Clojure newbie, definitely check out the text-only cache of this blog. I also want to note that "C

Is one of those patents "A novel technique for running a company into the fucking ground"?

A bit of the ole Ralph Nadar effect going on here, I presume. Java's share is being cannibalized by Groovy, Scala, Clojure, etc. They should start making a JVM ranking to start consolidating all those languages.

Ugh. Spoken like a true Ravens fan. In all seriousness, yeah. Gilt went from black/yellow to predominantly black/white for a good reason. I do like how the yellow pops though. Unfortunately, it also makes my eyes bleed. Maybe try a duller y

This is awesome, but what gives me pause is the part where you have to write a foreign function interface for every single Carbon API call. Also, I would assume that Cocoa is completely unavailable when going to C. Is that correct? I'm very

Wow. 1. Have you written or debugged C sockets code? Because if you have, I doubt you would be dinging him on not wanting to do that. 2. He doesn't want to handle C/C++. I would say that most people who write application code are with him.

Very neat. How does this treat forks? Does it consider only the commits you make?

You could say that it's ironic.

You know what? I realized that I didn't read the whole question. I switched from Octave, not Python. Oops.

Not recommended. Matrix multiplication is really slow, even with Incanter. I doubt you'll get very far with data analysis without multiplying a few matrices so avoid.

This is a great idea. The only feature I think you need is the ability to block companies, specifically the one you're working for right now.

It's a lot more like being able to read and write in medieval Europe.

I disagree. We're just so jaded by the speed of change that we don't ascribe much significance to changes that have completely changed how human beings interact. While many of these technologies are built on the internet, saying that they'r

I don't think this is complete nonsense. At the root of all this, he's weirded out by the concept of entropy. Entropy exists, yet the complexity on this infinitesimal speck of dust in the universe is increasing. Why is that? tmsh, I wrote a

Software environments, languages, and other such abstractions aren't there to be perfect. They are there to help human beings manage absurd numbers of machine instructions. Maybe when we fully understand the human mind, we'll figure out the

Why is it un-PC to acknowledge that there are fundamental differences between men and women in terms of both innate talents and, more importantly, motivations? Differences that would lead to huge demographic disparities in incredibly niche

Hahahha maybe. But maybe it's a good thing we don't have to churn butter anymore, right? Improvements in technology mean that we don't have to deal with the low level stuff that's been done a million times before, allowing us to focus on hi

I've always thought that this criticism didn't make sense. Improvements in software are highly dependent on improvements in hardware: http://prog21.dadgum.com/29.html What would have once taken incredible software engineering skills is no

To be an extremist, you need to be pretty damn irrational. I assume that the correct allocation would be something at least partially rational? I mean... firebombing houses is probably not going to help us find the Higgs boson.

Two dimensional objects representing one dimensional data? Tsk tsk.
