Nice presentation. In the description of back end modules, you mention payments as a future capability. What kind of payment service would you be able to work with? (I don't see how you could handle card details in the Hoodie architecture).

A good solution should also minimise movement, to conserve energy and reduce mechanical wear. And part of the orbit is in darkness - the criteria would be different there (not optimising illumination, but needing to be ready for the return

The authors also worked with Robbins - there are two paragraphs about this towards the end of the article. I enjoyed reading Sleights of Mind, but never got round to watching the videos on their site, http://www.sleightsofmind.com/media/

Thanks very much - that app shows me a quiet way from home (Raynes Park) to work (Leatherhead); 13.4 miles. It's far enough off the busy roads I know that I would never have discovered it unaided. On to Street View... then the forecast is g

In the video, Prof. Widom mentions that the platform they are using now, Class2Go, has been developed at Stanford and is open source. A quick look at http://class.stanford.edu/ shows that it depends on external components - YouTube for vi

I'm having a quick read through (3 chapters so far) and I think it is beautifully written. (quite a few broken images in the SVG parts of chapter 3 at present) Edit: just purchased the eBook, and the images are fine in the PDF.

On Saturday Maplin's online stock check said there were two starter kits still in stock at Wimbledon - a little over a mile away from me. There had been five in stock a few days before. I walked there and was in time to get the last one. No

I worked for Decca Navigator in the 1970s. They had two ladies (not particularly little or old) who made read-only program memories for the Decca Omnitrac civil aircraft navigation computers. These had core arrays with the sense line hand-w

It's a great article. Assuming English isn't your first language, I think @insertnickname is being unfair.

I have a six-year-old 15" MacBook Pro, which is now on its third battery. A year or so ago the original 120GB hard drive started making ticking sounds, and I replaced it with a 500GB drive (not SSD - at today's prices I would have gone for

This is a lesson we all have to learn. At least in Node it is easy to pick up with a tool like JSLint. In Java, you typically have some classes which have to be thread-safe (having no per-request state) and others which are instantiated per
