This post is pretty vague. Having heard of Couch a few times over the years but not used it, it would been more helpful if he said something like: "I started a company and forked the open source CouchDB project that I…
It's great to see a researcher with such passion and love for his subject. I never knew about Oberon -- my only exposure to this side of the universe was programming Pascal in high school. This was a great read.
I meant actually give code for the exploit.
This is cool, can someone do the same for Python? (And other languages?)
Yeah I fail to understand why a separate interpreter is desirable for this problem. Seems like something for a Python library.
This article is pretty disgusting... I'm surprised that the wall street journal would print what is essentially a big troll.
Is it really? Scaling today means running on more than one machine (google, facebook, twitter, etc.) That means no shared memory. He helpfully makes this distinction on his front page ("I'm mostly interested in…
Exactly, tons of different technologies are POSSIBLE. But it's a matter of what's economically feasible (what consumers will pay for, etc.) We could have had Web TV in 1995 if it was really economically feasible... but…
Absolutely... have to say Michael Pollan is onto something with "nutritionism". Food isn't a linear combination of nutrients.
> So, the only reason you would now use yacc is parsing speed. "speed" means a couple different things. Someone might say the only reason you would use C++ rather than Python is speed -- i.e. you can always get…
