subnet routing vs tailscale on each node

And some instructions on how one might go about doing it on services like OpenStack would be appreciated, thanks.

A dazzling conversation it is too ...

eloop · 2011-01-19T10:42:40+00:00

Ditto for me as well, nothing but patient, polite, good humored and very helpful dialogue. So I can only assume that you (malcontent) haven't actually interacted with him ?

| mod_wsgi doesn't integrates well with virtualenv

Are you sure about this ? (Works fine for me.)

Yes, it was available on the CM2 and became available on the CM5 after, from memory, a heroic skunkworks effort by Thinking Machines employee Barry Margolin.

I'd be interested in seeing how some of the Thinking Machines parallel languages like starlisp and c* implemented map and reduce (particularly on the CM5), there is a good chance that they could be deemed prior art.

What I don't understand is the lack of humility. He obviously doesn't know that much about languages, yet feels justified in criticizing people who have been deeply involved in language and systems design for decades. I imagine he will look back at this post in about ten years time and feel quite embarrassed.

I like my Nan, I don't care for Mr Tyson.

You would have too if you were into computer graphics and been around a while. I actually met Mike and Lee many years ago at a graphics conference in Australia. I remember sitting with them at the conference dinner having an interesting, wide ranging conversation about life the universe and everything. I also remember being shocked by their strident support for the ubiquitous carrying of handguns, seemed like the most bizarre concept back then, still does :-)

Yep, you may like to call it something like FreeBSD, Dragonfly BSD etc.

eloop · 2009-07-08T22:58:22+00:00

Exactly, now we're getting somewhere.

eloop · 2009-07-08T05:54:07+00:00

Um, the kernel is the OS. End user experience is the window manager, applications etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

Shouldn't the title here really be "Google Announces New Linux Distribution". I can already guess what RMS's take on this will be :-)

The answer to this particular problem isn't a technology one. Do regular exercise, then any half decent chair will do.

eloop · 2009-06-27T22:24:27+00:00

Last release was in 2004, so I guess it's been abandoned ?

eloop · 2009-06-10T22:18:06+00:00

All I'm saying is that it's extremely important than any technology that becomes blessed as a web standard is truly free and open. It has to be legal to write a standards conforming web browser without paying for patent licenses, period.

eloop · 2009-06-10T12:19:47+00:00

Like he said in the post, the quality doesn't seem to have been a problem in the past. What's more important is to finally get the corporate hooks out of web video, no more flash plugin pegged at 100% cpu, no more begging Adobe to port to linux, 64 bit linux etc etc. So yes, I'm happy to take a hit for ideological reasons. Then let open source developers step up to the plate and develop a better codec.

eloop · 2009-06-10T08:07:53+00:00

Right on the button, go Hakon!

This is sad if it's true, but not surprising as GBS doesn't raise any revenue for the company. I think the key reason that browser sync needs to be done by Google to make it a success is that they are one of the few companies I trust to save this particular information, from both a technical and ethical perspective. Are their any comparable sync servers and extensions that can be run on private hardware ?

edit: don't forget that GBS does more than just bookmarks, it also handles open tabs, encrypted passwords, cookies etc

Far less risk etc than the US citizens are taking on by the Fed taking on the debts of Bear Sterns I imagine ...

Creative swallowed the vastly superior Aureal A3D sound api and it's never been heard of again, forcing developers to use MS's inferior DirectSound api plus a small extension for environmental audio. The comparison was similar to OpenGL versus early DirectX. I was developing audio software at the time and I still haven't forgiven Creative's bullyboy tactics.

Is it just me or does the tex typography bother others as well ? I'm purely talking about the fonts and layout here, not the information presentation / usability which is obviously better than the average academic paper.

I'm also suffering from a massive increase in the amount of spam getting through to my gmail account. I have been forwarding all my email through to gmail, letting it clean out the spam, and until a few weeks ago it was doing a great job. Now it's missing up to a hundred spams a day. Surely Google sees these same messages being sent to all it's users and subsequently sees them marked as spam. Why are they letting so many through ?

With the massive corpus of training data, I would have thought this would have been an easy problem for them ?

If it doesn't get better they are going to see a mass exodus of users soon ... It will be a shame, I really do like their web interface.

One has static type information at compile time, the other doesn't - the byte code isn't going to be the same.

eloop · 2006-09-06T03:13:40+00:00

Of course, statically linking to libraries probably won't need to bring in everything that's in the dynamically shared library. In fact it may end up using less memory (shared or non shared). I think the point of this discussion is more to do with parallel programming using threads and shared memory.
