But is it milspec (3 units on, 1 unit off timing)? I can't tell from the pixels and the CSS. Required reading: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213625 …

Artweaver is pretty nice too - there is a freeware edition for non-commercial and academic purposes.

Very nice. Sounds like a bunch of guys I'd like to work with, if I had any clue about security. Only thing I missed was an "about" page, introducing the founders, pictures are a plus. A…

Yes please. After spending way to much time with Ant / Maven / Gradle, I'm convinced they all got it wrong. A build system that doesn't suck is like a unicorn - rumored to exist, b…

I'm curious if these kinds of setups are also used in other high-freq scenarios. For instance, I could imagine using techniques like userland network stack and reserving cores exclusively in serv…

That is an argument that has been made again and again. Foxconn is actually a very sought after employer, as the others are often much worse. Standards vary, unfortunately. But if you have read Das Ka…

That and exercising. People who longer younger than their age usually have some sports routine, be it swimming, cycling or whatever.

Slightly OT, but I'm constantly amazed what swedes manage to pull off, considering their small population size they have a lot of impact.

And where do I find that? All I see is a "please contact us" form for hardware makers. As someone who might want to do some experiments with an Arduino, this isn't helpful.

Is that still true with the new unified memory architecture (hUMA) that AMD introduced? I agree GPUs probably can't handle more complicated comparators well, but Arrays.sort() could optimize at l…

Right - fixing it in that case means "do the same as thing as with Joda, but do it with slf4j and logging instead".

Good point. Something like Arrays.sort(arr, Concurrency.LEVEL) might have been more flexible. Do I want to use the GPU if available? With which priority should it run, max. performance or mor…

Absolutely, good thing they've learned from the java logging disaster. I nerdrage so hard every time I think about it - how can one mess up something so basic, yet so important? Maybe some sunny …

So I guess I'm gonna be that guy. According to http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ , the 2nd position is held by a Java framework, losing only 13,5% to the C++ overall win…

Can't believe I've missed the only opportunity to mention bhangmeters - indeed a fun fact.

Heres the money quote: "GPS satellites carry a set of nuclear detonation detectors consisting of an optical sensor (Y-sensor), an X-ray sensor, a dosimeter, and an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) se…

Don't forget the human factor! Though theory says buying a house is not always the best financial move, on average those people are better of when they're old, because they are forced to liv…

This is an interview with Paul R. Ryan, former Forbes CEO and now the guy behind Acacia Research, the firm behind the Newegg patent law suit. Was surprised he is not as slimy as I expected: http:…

Given the restricted nature of BPF, what kind of input is expected to be used with this? Surely you can't just run any code through it. There wasn't any additional info in that posting, unfo…

This was the funniest thing i've seen in a long time. Thanks. I suspect it dawned on her that something was wrong when she read the names aloud, but then managed to stay admirably serious.

Actually no, Gradle is Ant + dependency management + reusable code (plugins) with a convention-over-configuration philosophy, using Groovy instead of XML. So no, Gradle is not just Ant. But god is it …

I've used Ant, Gradle and Maven - they all suck, but in different ways. Maven is too restrictive and its XML too verbose, but Gradle can turn to spaghetti code, its DSL is often hard to debug and…
