True, I've got a 4k x 12bit core store in mine, and it's been there over 30 years :-)

...and all Marakana's videos have disappeared from the net. I have many links to videos from JAXConf2013, the SF Java User Group, the 2012 Northeast Scala Symposium, etc. and they …

or can I just host my blog and a few Git repositories?

Yes, it is part of their magazine: http://pragprog.com/magazines/2012-06 (also available in PDF, epub and mobi from http://pragprog.com/magazines )

Try again - I found the bottom ticks were 8 cores and 256GB.

I think the "half an hour" bit is significant. If someone complained that they tried to learn Prolog and gave up after half an hour they wouldn't get much sympathy from me.

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 ho…

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 opti…

Thank you - I'm just starting this course, and your write-up has given me a much better idea of what to expect.

If you have to do this, you could check that the published time was >= the time at which you started the test, and <= the time at which you are doing the check.

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 v…

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 discov…

Me too. Long delay for 'processing payment' at element5, but it did go through.

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/ sho…

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…

As a 60-year-old, I'm glad to see Jim Weirich in the Brit Ruby lineup :-)

Rails was developed when David Heinemeier Hansson was still in his home town, Copenhagen, Denmark. He was working part-time for 37signals, but it was several more years before he m…

Maybe a bit more with the spacesuit glove on!

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 be…

Dead right. I'm 60 and I feel the same.

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…

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