How is this news? Apple has had the exact specs (27 in, 5K res) available since something like 5-7 years ago, both as a stand-alone monitor and as an iMac.

The example of "foo bar" didn't work with while but inserting tr fixes it: echo "foo bar" | tr ' ' '\n' | while read -r var; do echo ${var}; done For examples in general, I guess s…

Of xargs, for, and while, I have limited myself to while. It's more typing everytime but saves me from having to remember so many quirks of each command. cat input.file | ... | whi…

One way to think of a monad is through the example of a shell (e.g., bash) pipeline: # cat data.csv | process-1 | process-2 | ... | process-n > final-output Imagine you have this p…

Most comp-biologists who work directly with programmers are some of the biggest jerks, and the least qualified tech folks. They hide all of that under "I'm a scientist, you're not"…

No similarities. The focus is different. - BOINC looks like an interface for end-users to volunteer compute resources for various (existing) distributed-computing projects. - Post …

What a compiler does used to be called automatic programming in the 1960s.

I hadn't either. But I refer to the method as 'code isolation'. There are a bunch of related stuff that's interesting: - code slicing (known as code-splitting in JS community). - r…

Thanks for putting it in context. This is exactly what I'm looking for. (making it practical, I'll take care of that myself).

Wait, wait, wait. I was going to point out llvm/clang, but they disabled that too? It's a BSD/MIT-license tool. Any idea why they did that? second big-picture question: how hard is…

99% of the effort is 'what hash function?'

Consider a candidate both on a 'holistic-track' and a 'single-score track' and require them to meet standard on only one of the two.

False choice fallacy.

When it comes to measurement, 1.7320 is not the same as 1.732 The trailing zero was part of the measurement and, hence, is included in the significant digit count. That also means …

I was going to mention that but 'zone' skipped my mind. I kept thinking 'solaris sandbox?'

Lemme know when the catfight between systemd and docker is over. I'm a bit busy with chroot and freebsd-jails over here.

I hate to admit this, but I'm one of those types too (who you wouldn't want as the authors of your obit). I've been called every name in the book by my own friends, e.g., Dunning-K…

If you switched from vim to evil-on-emacs, you didn't really switch to emacs. You switched to something akin to a best-of-both-worlds.

I wasn't aware Exchange Server was still this prevalent, and that its pwnage was still alive and kicking. Great job M$.

Racket is about a gazillion times bigger than R6RS. And R6RS is too big for me.
