Don't you think a programmer who can churn out working code in a short span can do "properly engineered code" when the need arises? In coding contests, speed is important, it is the "goal" hence there is no need to "engineer" it properly. It just needs to work. A guy who actually "engineers" it for sake of robustness, readability, etc in a coding contest has lost track of the goals of the contest and would be more of an idealist than a practical man.
The sort of people who rank high in coding contests are generally very good programmers, very strong in algorithms, pragmatic and fast. I would take them any day.
I don't know why people upgrade to 8gb RAM. I've a 4gb ram and my os hardly used 50% of it. I've a swap of 8gb which is never used. I don't know what kind of applications you run to need 8gb of ram; video editing, big games?
Everything approaching a black hole is being compressed; you'd be exposed to the burning energy of a hundred thousand million thermonuclear explosions before reaching the event horizon.
The high temperatures is produced not by things getting compressed, but because breaking bonds between a pair of entangled particles is highly exothermic. Also Polchinski says things get burned at event horizon, not compressed.
All the features in pebble + touch screen interface (those buttons look so hard). A colour screen would be nice too (if it doesn't affect battery life).
you couldn't hire one engineer for 10k let alone team of engineers..
anyway those are the kind of people who buy stuff because of the price not because of functionality
thats not correct.. all the rover does by itself is keep itself in operational condition (maintaining temp., etc), all other stuff like operating instruments, driving, etc is performed by sending commands through radio. http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/mission/rover/brains/
I'm an Indian myself and haven't had any such experience. Maybe his name is Mohammad Farooq Beary, and he'd just omitted Farooq to shorten his name for passport or something? Anyway, that seems to be an exception rather than the norm.
Slashdot Mirror
It looks like he installed Mac OS also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I hope google bans amazon from its search results and apple refuses to play amazon videos on macbooks/iphones/ipads...
before the age of 30
it is 40
Fifth book? SERIOUSLY?
It's in accord with theory.
Care to explain how? AFAICS this is a new phenomenon.
I wonder if that can be called a trojan

I don't think long lifespans are a necessity.. you can reproduce in flight and train the newer generation enroute..
who have time to participate in contests
don't blame time, blame yourself for not managing it.
to find programmers who like contests.
and the people who win these contests happen to be very good programmers, so, all in all its a great way to find talent.

I assume someone will download the whole dataset and make a torrent out of it before long
If you RTFA, the guy who actually discovered it torrented the dataset.

What a fucking waste of money
say that it is counterfeit. Really cuts support costs!
Also cuts sales volume. If someone tells me there are lots of counterfeits that look almost like original, I'd stop buying.

give me one example
and then call themselves something else entirely.
no they don't
You could also argue that given the amount of news this outage generated, more people visited the site and hence more impulse purchases.
