  1. Re:RSA on Brain Teasers for Coders? · · Score: 1

    The problem with the RSA Factoring Challenge is
    that when one is intelligent enough to solve the problem the problem becomes uninteresting.

    Then one would rater use the ones time to solve
    one of the great problems facing humanity.

    But here is some hints if you like to take on the RSA Factoring Challenge.
    You need: a need a frequency generator, electronic components (resistors, capacitors, coils) and the most important thing the correct understanding of electrodynamics.

    Have fun.

  11. portable vectorization on Introducing the PowerPC SIMD unit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    On the D programing newsgroup we have been talking
    about implementing a vectorization syntax, so
    we can have portable vector code which
    approach the speed of hand coded vectorization.

    Here is something from the list.

    What is a vectorized expression? Basically, loops that does not specify any
    order of execution. If there is no order specified, of course the compiler
    can choose any one that is efficient or maybe even distribute the code and
    execute it in parallel.

    Here is some examples.

    Adding a scalar to a vector.
    [i in 0..l](a[i]+=0.5)

    Finding size of a vector.
    size=sqrt(sum([i in 0..l](a[i]*a[i])));

    Finding dot-product;
    dot=sum([i in 0..l](a[i]*b[i]));

    Matrix vector multiplication.
    [i in 0..l](r[i]=sum([j in 0..m](a[i,j]*v[j])));

    Calculating the trace of a matrix
    res=sum([i in 0..l](a[i,i]));

    Taylor expansion on every element in a vector
    [i in 0..l](r[i]=sum([j in 0..m](a[j]*pow(v[i],j))));

    Calculating Fourier series.
    f=sum([j in 0..m](a[j]*cos(j*pi*x/2)+b[j]*sin(j*pi*x/2)))+c;

    Calculating (A+I)*v using the Kronecker delta-tensor : delta(i,j)={i=j ? 1 : 0}
    [i in 0..l](r[i]=sum([j in 0..m]((a[i,j]+delta(i,j))*v[j])));

    Calculating cross product of two 3d vectors using the
    antisymmetric tensor/Permutation Tensor/Levi-Civita tensor
    [i in 0..3](r[i]=sum([j in 0..3,k in 0..3](anti(i,j,k)*a[i]*b[k])));

    Calculating determinant of a 4x4 matrix using the antisymmetric tensor
    det=sum([i in 0..4,j in 0..4,k in 0..4,l in 0..4]
    (anti(i,j,k,l)*a[0,i]*a[1,j]*a[2,k]*a[3,l]) );

  14. democratic management on Independent Developer Projects in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    An idea I read about, is what I would call democratic management.

    The idea is simple that the manager should be chosen
    bottom-up instead of top-down.

    A team member can challenge the team manager for the manager position.

    Then the team vote between the two for the new manager.

    If the challenger win the vote, he/she becomes the new manager.
    If the challenger lose the vote he can't challenges the manager
    for the next 90 days.

    The team manager can challenges the department manager.
    The department manager can challenges he's manager,
    etc. up to the top.

    In this way the best manager talent raise to the top.

  16. Re:build in page validator. on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    1) As far as I know, gecko don't give error and warnings status
    for the code it parses. So, if you don't rewrite you will have two html parsers
    in the browser.

    2) No, But it tells the users that there is something wrong with
    the page and not with the browser.

    3) The problem with cgi is that the can have many stages and
    each stage should be validated.
    To post this reply I see 3 different pages
    the replay form, the preview page and the submit page each
    must be validated for the script to be ok.
    So, a build in validator function which updates
    with the contents would save a lot of time
    when developing cgi scripts.

    I would like to see a build in page validator.

    There is a lot of badly coded web pages out there.

    It might take a rewrite of gecko by I think it is wroth it.

  21. Re:Patch sets on Wikipedia Criticised by Its Co-founder · · Score: 1

    I don't think you understand the suggestion.

    So, lets take an example:

    Let say that my wikipedia profile where "Tesla"

    and I had discovered that the normal formulation
    of electromagnetism is wrong and I try to edit
    the wikipedia page, then very quickly
    someone would change the page back without
    even trying the experiments I suggested.

    If I could make a page called electromagnetism@Tesla
    which only I could edit then everyone could read about
    my experiments without I had to use all my time to edit wikipedia.

  22. Patch sets on Wikipedia Criticised by Its Co-founder · · Score: 1

    What wikipedia needs is patch sets just like the Linux kernel.

    With the kernel the experts makes there own patch set like:
    2.6.10-ac and 2.6.10-mm

    If wikipedia could allow the experts to keep there own copy of a page which only they can edit.

    Then users can see the official page and the expert pages if any.

    This will also allow the users to see if there is different opinions on the subject.

    I doesn't have a Slashdot subscription because I don't think that it
    is a big enough advantage to be able to view the article a little in advance e.t.c.

    What I would like subscribers be able to is:
    1) Post comments before the article goes live.
    2) Get a jabber or psyc notification the exact moment that a new article is viewable.
