That's great for marginal costs. What about fixed costs? The lobby needs to be mopped. The parking lot needs light. The lawn probably should be kept from turning into a forest. The…

12 mL worth of battery ought to be able to handle most of those methods. That's about break-even, but better because you refill the same way you refill the computer and propulsion.…

That does seem kind of neat, but it still doesn't make sense to me. You have to carry a poison supply that will run out. You need 12 mL per starfish. Is that really more effective …

The really sad thing is that we build on our best farmland. If you want to grow apricots, the best place is San Jose. That whole area in fact is mighty good for farming. People nee…

You missed the word "repeated". Also, some participants in drunken fights act in self-defense or as part of a fighting sport, and so would not be criminals. So it's actually like t…

If the offender has only ever committed one crime, and they did so while a teen, then OK. Give them another chance, provided they have a workable budget that includes a non-crimina…

Standard algorithms are standard for very good reasons. They are 100% reliable and at least reasonably fast, if not the fastest. Failure to learn the standard algorithms impedes pr…

Japan does this right: nobody tips. Customers pay the restaurant, and the restaurant pays the waiters. Tipping is one small step away from paying bribes. Don't do it. Don't encoura…

That's a tough one. Maybe you could help work on a JIT for Javascript or Java. This would get you into working on the low-level stuff while still making use of your existing knowle…

It's horribly insecure to keep the company's source code on a computer with a connection to the Internet. For example, this is how the F-35 secrets wound up in China.

We wanted our own site because the parent company's branding was extra-uncool and they wouldn't change it for us, but they wouldn't let us use their name without controlling the br…

The locations are Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Maryland. Note that the Florida location would let you afford a big house in a decent neighborhood that is near both work and the be…

We have a rockstar programmer. No, really. He put out CDs and all. Technically he's a former rockstar I guess, but close enough. He rocks. We still lack a ninja. We have been unabl…

Those places are silly. We'd hire you if you can do low-level stuff. (background check too, but I guess you'd pass based on other posts)

* (If anyone is looking for a smart C++ dude, preferably someone using QT, lemme know, I'll hook you up.) * Uh, maybe. Is he OK with low-level stuff too? We do use Qt, but we might…

Oh my. I know somebody who needs that job. Probably the "Georgetown, KY" on his resume is the difficulty, but he's willing to move. He can do C#, Java, and C++. He even has a tradi…

Depending on the town and your specialty, you might be surprised. Not every place outside of the typical hot spots is corporate-fief. Specialization means you can have a good job m…

I think I recall getting you an interview. (at http://advancedsecuritylabs.com/ in Florida) Did we not give you an offer? Did you reject an offer? We could easily put you in San An…

This is likely in Melbourne/Indialantic Florida. It could also be in Texas, Virginia, or Maryland. Note that Florida combines low housing costs, lack of an income tax, super-short …

This is Melbourne/Indialantic Florida, Austin and San Antonio Texas, Maryland, Virginia, Greer South Carolina, Fayetteville North Carolina, Huntsville Alabama, Cambridge (near Bost…

A sundress is much closer to a suit than it is to a T-shirt and jeans. Considering modesty though, a woman in a sundress is equivalent to a man wearing a tank top. We don't get mal…

The comment about being women being treated differently when they wear a dress shows misunderstanding. The male equivalent to that is not a T-shirt and jeans. It's the suit. I'd su…

Oh, one other problem. The referenced (R) and dirty (D) bits are only updated in leaf nodes. I strongly suspect that any performance you gain here will be more than consumed by OS …

Thanks. The following concerns paging, not the base/limit system: From a security and reliability perspective, I'm saddened to see that rwx got supported while --x did not get supp…

MMU? I see one place seemingly using RISC-V with an MMU in the classic desktop PowerPC style (Linus Torvalds posted a great rant about the stupidity of that MMU) and another place …
