"Unbeindruckt, Ursula Plassnik." 'Mit ihrer einseitigen, verunsichernden und angstmacherischen EU-Berichterstattung ist die "Kronen Zeitung" leider Teil des Problems und nicht Teil der Lösung.' Requoted from c3o. Addendum: Armin Thurnher über die Krone; Kinder, Tiere, Mädchen (und Olah und Staberl)."It's one thing to be able to spin up 100 virtualized Linux boxen on [create EC2], but it's quite something else to be able to integrate those dynamically into a running system."David MacKay: "I'd like to make one suggestion to everyone: if you want to discuss what I said in the book, please read the book!" "Einem alleine wäre ein so kapitaler Missgriff gar nicht gelungen."Kevin Kelly: "Until last year the oldest living company was a Japanese construction company which was founded in 578. Then in 2007, after 40 generations and 1,430 years it went kaput." "[...] I asked around for suggestions and picked [create C++] from the resulting list. Everybody agreed that semantically ++C would have been even better, but I thought that would create too many problems for non-geeks." Bjarne Stroustrup on naming C++. "Most people demand a tiny language providing every feature they have ever found useful in any language." Hochgradig faszinierend: Google Trends neuerdings mit Site-Traffic-Schätzungen. Ein Login ist der Preis, den man für Y-Achsen-Labels zu bezahlen hat. Leider werden grössere Google-Properties (also auch YouTube &c.) aus (etwas fadenscheinigen) Financial-Guidance-Gründen ausgespart; vielleicht wirkt das comScore-induzierte Klickinterpretationsfiasko vom Anfang des Jahres noch nach ... "But viewed in retrospect, it is clear that it has been quite predictable.""As with many things involving the language battles raging in Belgium, [the Couloir Francophone] proposal has a slightly surreal feel to it. The transfer of this nature reserve from Flanders to French-speaking Belgium would arguably change the linguistic status of its only permanent inhabitants from Dutch-speaking to French-speaking squirrels." Chris Wetherell: "I'm really hoping that someday an ethnographer studies feed reading styles. There's something very interesting happening here."Walter Rafelsberger: OTKtroutgirl: "I was at knitting camp (yes, knitting camp) last month when I learned something staggering. I'd estimate the average age of the ladies to be near 50 years old; and almost all of them listened to podcasts all the time. There was a brisk trade in tips for how to find, download, and enjoy podcasts from all over the web, for those few who weren't already hooked on the habit." "What other huge audiences are lying just outside our field of collective vision while we huddle around San Francisco Bay sending witty 140-character quips to each other 20 times a day? Maybe we better get out there and find out sometime." ![]() "Das klingt logisch: Wer in die Sackgasse hineingefahren ist, kennt ja offensichtlich den Weg." Armin Wolf, treffend, zur Tiroler Nachwahlnavigationsfertigkeit. James Hague: A Spellchecker Used to Be a Major Feat of Software EngineeringWolfgang Beirl: "It seems that 'moral outrage' is reserved for gasoline trading above 4$ a gallon and even in this case politicians and average citizens are ready to give up whatever they still believe in (free markets?), as long as they are promised that they can keep driving their SUVs."Den zwei Fritzen & Co. herzliche Gratulation. Mögen sie in die Versuchung der Praxis geführt werden.Recently in ACM Queue: A conversation with Kurt Akeley (one of the key designers of OpenGL) and Pat Hanrahan (ditto for RenderMan) ... and if that weren't enough, the conversation partner with the interviewer hat on is [create Tom Duff]. PH: "It's not that [create GPU]s are on a weird, parallel track trying to solve only the graphics problem - they actually got ahead of the more-general computing game by innovating in computer architecture. That's very interesting, and if you're a programmer, it's the main reason you should be aware of these techniques and what's going on." TD: "The performance of old-school GPUs really depended on the fact that we knew exactly what the algorithm was. All of the control junk that was in a normal CPU was pretty much irrelevant." KA: "The interesting thing is that people in the CPU world are not sitting on their hands anymore. As soon as they made the decision to go parallel, the gloves came off. They're going to stop squandering all those transistors on trying to make one thread go incrementally faster, and they're going to start using them to make a bunch of threads go faster. This puts them potentially on the same curve as GPUs." Highly recommended. The ScanJet 4c must be the most underrated musical instrument in the history of mankind. WebKit recently got a new JavaScript interpreter: "SquirrelFish is a register-based, direct-threaded, high-level bytecode engine, with a sliding register window calling convention. It lazily generates bytecodes from a syntax tree, using a simple one-pass compiler with built-in copy propagation." Looks like an excellent study object. Let the vivisections begin! "SquirrelFish owes a lot of its design to some of the latest research in the field of efficient virtual machines, including research done by Professor M. Anton Ertl, et al, Professor [create David Gregg], et al, and the developers of the Lua programming language." "Truth may be beauty, and beauty truth, in more than a metaphorical sense, and false propositions may actually disgust us." Sam Harris et al., relayed by Deric Bownds.motz: "[...] to keep this loose corporation together, avoiding hierarchy, [Louis Pouzin] created a new job description: the gossip carrier. the duty of this chap was to travel around and to inform people in a colloquial way about what is going on in other places ..." Wonderful. Still the optimal job description for research managers. LANGREITER.COM • COPYRIGHT © 1999-2007 CHRISTIAN LANGREITER & CONTRIBUTORS • ISSN 1609-1353 • LCOMDEUX • CRÉE AVEC VANILLA 0.5.2 |
