Sure, Java or C will be much faster at any computational work. And I am no node.js fan-boi. But doing actual asynchronous local-file IO in C is non-trivial, and if their server is …

There are a couple projects in this direction (I looked into trying to make a bot at one point). Unfortunately, any names have slipped my memory at this point. But be assured, they…

I am at work, and don't have minecraft on any machine nearby =).

Cool, a distributed minecraft server. But where's the source, or something more technically meaty? "I made a distributed X and here's some screenshots" isn't that interesting alone…

> In the author's example, the fastest implementation was actually _not_ lock-free, it merely used a better spinlock than std::mutex. The author is also using gcc 4.6; perhaps diff…

Yeah, I live in the PNW of the US, not South America. Coca leaves are basically unavailable.

I wouldn't want to try and use cocaine to focus. While I've tried it once, I don't like the typical routes of administration, the lack of quality control, and financially, supporti…

Thanks for going into more depth here. You understand it much more thoroughly than me =).

> Your body acclimates itself to just about anything - the weather, sugar, MSG, even frequent shampooing or Chap-Stick usage. That doesn't mean those things are comparable to meth.…

Every person is different, and meth is definitely abused in higher proportions more than prescription adderall — I am not contesting that, or attempting to compare adderall users t…

> However small the chemical difference, there is an enormous practical difference. Meth can produce an intense high. Adderall, not so much. This just isn't true. Adderall is sever…

I don't describe it like that to "sound edgy" or provide "shock effect." It's just pointing out that these drugs are very similar chemically and biologically, and that people shoul…

> What you may be referring to is that Adderall, methamphetamine, and MDMA have remarkably similar effects, which is true - the active ingredients in all three are metabolized in a…

It's figurative, not literal. I am very much aware of desoxyn and that adderall is actually composed of four amphetamine salts, none of them literally meth. However, the amphetamin…

Oh, the possible negatives I had in mind were brain-related: "diminishing returns" due to tolerance or other factors after long-term use, and adverse side-effects of the drug flood…

The adverse side-effects do not magically go away; however, the benefits are (supposedly) much greater for a person diagnosed with AD(H)D than recreational users. Thus the net gain…

It's an extremely hard drug for anybody, ADHD or no. Adderall / Vyvanse is prescription meth[0] (something I've heard from several of my AD(H)D friends). If the pros outweigh the c…

Other than, e.g., Red Hat[0]? [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protoc...

A better title might be "visualizing the object-reference graph in Ruby;" debugging memory leaks is a neat side effect. That being said, it's an interesting little project.

This reminded me to make another donation towards py3k support =). Keep on rocking on, pypy.

WFM now =)

Same, chrome 25.0.1364.97.

It's kind of tough to just start digging in the city. You'll probably hit an existing pipe / line. Permits, etc..

I understand that this makes sense for Mathics. What I don't understand is why Wolfram has any interest in separating the language from the implementation.
