It sounds like ars was trying to suggest that the fuel we currently use is very similar to that aircraft use (ie. if you can synthesize oil you kill two birds with one stone)

The cetane number and the flash point is a little different, but to simplify, diesel is Jet-A with additives, mainly for lubrication. You can put jet fuel in a diesel truck and it'll work fine, the military often mixes it in to avoid two separate fuel supplies. The same thing can be done with piston aircraft (100LL vs auto gas)

Also, I can only imagine the use of a biomass mix will increase. Last year the USAF was saying it was roughly 10x the cost, but that's dropping with production scale while oil obviously is only going up.

Good Point sir....

But I was kind of imagining that you could essentially emulate a single virtual system per "Stream processor" or whatever they are labeling the basic units. I was factoring that they could run a couple of hundred "virtual cores" per card despite the fact they weren't that optimized. But I will be the first to admit to not really knowing the details.

The other option of course is something like intel's Knights Corner architecture, which wouldn't pay such a penalty on performance for branching.

Whether it is rational/reasonable to do that is something I cannot answer generally (obviously) but to me it is not. However, as such things exist they have to be reasonable enough to some one, as they are being used.

They are measuring and trying to fix the wrong things. I don't care if you think you are 'lean'.

The problem is that you have some stubborn devs or decisions that were made a long time ago that need to be reversed but for whatever reason are not being reversed or are hard to change.

What I care about is perceived start up time and perceived overall performance.

For perceived start up time to improve they have to stop doing some things that they normally wait to finish doing before showing the screen. Like waiting for all of the tabs to load, checking for updates to add-ons, etc.

For overall performance to improve I think they need an extra performance mode that will restrict what Addons can do.

The eaziest way to create buzz before you have a prototype is to work on being internet famous.

All it takes is some writing talent, a blog and a time investment. Because, you know, launching things is much easier when you have a blog with 20k monthly uniques ... even easier when it's 100k monthlies.

That is to say, before there is a prototype, the buzz should be about you.

Lower the barriers to entry. Simplify the survey, make it fun and engaging to enter, take feedback in a place where people have nothing better to do.

Unfortunately SurveyMonkey isn't best suited to gathering consumer feedback. The best examples I've seen have been Innocent Smoothies (throw your empty bottles in one trash can or the other to give your "response"), and the taxis here in Dubai, which have a 5 question electronic survey on the back of the drivers' seats. Go for the win and put the survey in a public urinal and have people "respond" by peeing in one direction or another.

Why Google+ is Important For Business [Infographic]
I recently went to my first academic conference, which was in Japan, and consisted primarily of an international audience. I found that an accurate indicator for the quality of presentations was whether the presenter was from the US. Generally, speakers from the US were excited and able to explain their work clearly. The speakers from other countries tended to mumble, not make their point clear, and were downright boring. Part of the disparity might have been the language barrier (international speakers tended to have thick accents), but I wonder whether part of the difference is cultural (i.e. US speakers prepare for presentations more and are taught on how to give good presentations).

No. copyright is automatically applied when the work is created. You have to explicitly give more relaxed rights, aka licenses and copylefts, for people to know whether they can use it.

What do you learn? What have you ever done with that knowledge?
If you live in the middle of nowhere you actually could get away from it. I fly out of a small airport only an hour from Boston and 15 minutes from Worcester. Not all of the planes/gliders even have radios. Also without a ground frequency people are walking and driving onto the taxiways as these please. If you're not flying instrument its up to the pilot to be watching for who knows what from all directions!! Makes it interesting I suppose...

What I'm curious is how they'll deal with the possibility of a damage to the craft. If someone opens up a car door into your wing how do you determine if there's any significant damage to the loading surfaces (especially if there's composites involved)...how about a tap from the car behind at the stop sign.
While your calculation is correct, you do not include a rather important fact. Owning a car which you intend to sell in a couple years is a risk. Even though the cost of ownership of a $100k car and $40k car might not be much, it will turn out to be significant at the moment you crash it.

Which will then inevitably lose you the full value.

> and supposedly, not all countries even recognize Public Domain

I'm not sure the phrasing is correct, at least for the most common example of this issue (european copyright tradition of moral rights): many european countries split the anglo-saxon copyright into estate rights (which are economic) and moral rights which are generally perpetual, inalienable, and imprescriptible.

As a result, while an author can assign (or waive) their estate rights they can not assign or waive their moral rights.

Unless there are additional special cases in the country's lawbooks an author in a moral-rights country can not put his works in the public domain (since it would require waiving rights he can't waive). Either the works can not be copyrighted (and are intrinsically in the public domain) or they will fall into the public domain when the author's rights expire.

I gave you the solid things, but you give 'You aint gonna need it' kind of answer to everything Python doesn't have.

Coming to asking people forcefully shorten their code blocks. It's none of language's business to dictate its style on me and steal my freedom. A language is supposed to behave the way I want. That's its very purpose.

No multiline lambdas, No CPAN equivalent, Seamless interaction with shell like $output = `command` is absent. No first class regular expressions. Lack of ability to provide the command line power Perl gives. No switch statement, No equivalent of Perl's smart match operators, Nothing like Moose, Nothing like Devel::Declare, Parsing power nowhere even near to Python. And I can go on and on..

I guess these are solid enough things(at least for me)
Why Arrays Normally Start At Zero?

Depends on gameplay, but I can see non-programmers playing.

In the beginning they might not have to use much code at all.

When they've advanced a bit they might just use code copy-pasted from the Web.

At the intermediate stage maybe they need something a little more advanced, so they go to a website where you can buy pre-written programs.

Then maybe they rise to a level where they can afford to pay someone to write some custom code for them, so they do so and improve their operations by x%.

But all that depends on how the rest of the game works. At the moment all we know is that the game involves space ships and assemblers.

Yes, fortran is actually faster than C for some things. OK, C++ with the right templates, or a later C standard can theoretically do what Fortran does (remind me again - pass by reference, no recursion, and bounded arrays rather than pointers?). And Intel tends to be faster than gcc.

There's no way you can make broad statements (like "nothing will beat C" or "fortran is actually faster than C for numerical stuff") without having a few exceptions. Actually, Pypy is faster than C, in extremely specific circumstances (i.e. ones which were set up by the Pypy people to show off, see "PyPy faster than C on a carefully crafted example" ... thought they point out there are things you could do in C to make it win).

The most bang for you buck in JITs is for dynamic languages, because while stuff like type inference can exponentially explode, you'll only really have 1 type in many cases (i.e. a float), and the JIT can pick that up. And getting Python within an order of magnitude of C would be a massive win.
