Tesla has an aggressive sales target of 55,000 vehicles by end of year for 2015, which is above its existing pace of quarterly unit sales Is this a typo, or are they really selling…

This definitely dampens the usefulness. It's like the author knew it was a bad idea too (he put noexcept(false) on the destructor; without which in C++11 the program terminates imm…

Out of curiosity how would you reimplement this file in bash? https://github.com/kaniini/slabbed-or-not/blob/master/xen-de... In particular, the fact that it's using inline asm dir…

That sounds like it could be a bug, you should consider filing it on https://code.google.com/p/android

It would be a lot easier to get their attention if there was an actual 'adb bugreport' attached to the bug. There's very little context on what the bug is and how to reproduce it b…

Have you tried turning off Contacts synchronization in Settings > Accounts ?

I found this really fun, I tried half the languages there. But why do the lower level languages like C/C++ have actual logic in them (e.g. if/else/||/&& ) while the higher level la…

It's immutable but it defines swap? That seems.. odd.

This isn't any different from sharing the password with your family members (who you should trust anyway, right?). Why not make it more useful and allow the person you share with t…

Great post, very informative! But why recommend changing operator new/delete by using a macro instead of privately inheriting a class that does that?

I was wondering what the difference in ingredients was, so I put together this list from their sites Chapul (Chaco Bar) ingredients: * Dates * Peanuts * Toasted Oats * Chocolate Ch…

Can someone please shed some light on this relatively recent APU race? I understand it seems like a good idea for OpenCL, but when they increase their APU performance while actuall…

Oh, I don't think the game is not replayable, I had a lot of fun playing it and L4D2. I just don't think it was at all obvious accomplished their goals with the director AI that th…

Seems like a great idea. I expect most of their contributions will make it back to open source via AOSP, and people will be able to run their own secure non-proprietary versions of…

Great stuff, have to disagree on the "replayability" section though. There were only 2-3 tier 2 weapon spawns on the entire map, the crescendos were pretty much always in the same …

I think that's what made the original BitTorrent popular. The open protocol. They really need to do the same here if they want this to take off.

EA's Origin has similar problems, it's pretty easy to social engineer someone's account (tech support will reset your password and your secret security question) and then they can …

Has it ever occurred to the OP that maybe the Xbox 360 was such a huge success precisely because of the culture of the employees there?

Culture fit is more generally whether your personality is a mesh with everyone else's personality. It's typically a blanket over everything non-coding in an interview. For example.…

This has quite a way to go. I'm running Firefox 18 on my Radeon HD 6970 card (high end gaming grade) and there's quite a bit of stuttering every few seconds. Maybe the javascript g…

I feel like everything that's happened to TF2 is just a sneak peek into what will happen once Valve ships Defense of the Ancients 2. The question is, how will they balance a hardco…

Ngen still requires the CLR to be present though.

That might have been true before, but my understanding is that the newer mobile GPUs (coming out now, 2012, etc) have pretty much free context switching. Or so the vendors like to …

I was hoping for more information on how they implement it.. there's nothing in there about which hardware facilities they use, and they say that at worst STM is a global lock for …
