anchovy_··on Writing a Hypervisor in 1k Lines
Tangentially related: can anyone here recommend some good resources (preferably even books) on hypervisors? Back in university we got a brief introduction into the topic but I was always interested in learning about it more in depth.
anchovy_··on ArXiv receives $10M for upgrades
Cool idea! Is there a way to go to the arxiv page (https://arxiv.org/abs/...) of a paper instead of only going to the PDF (https://arxiv.org/pdf/...) without manually manipulating the URL?
anchovy_··on Google vs. the Open Web
Don't nail me down on this but I think since nowadays' websites are often dynamic, you most likely have to employ headless browsers in order to do whatever it is you want to do. This should then result in fake impressions.
anchovy_··on Is parallel programming hard, and, if so, what can you do about it?
>However, an O(n^3) algorithm will always loose out to an O(n^2*log(n)) algorithm, when the input gets big enough.

Sure, this might be the case from a theoretical point of view (as per definition) but this completely disregards the hidden constants that come to light when actually implementing an algorithm. There's a reason why for instance a state-of-the-art matrix multiplication algorithm [0] can be completely useless in practice: The input data will never become large enough in order to amortize the introduced overhead.

anchovy_··on German researchers figure out how lager first developed in Bavaria
I don't know about Swabia and Franconia but if you are in Upper Bavaria (or probably any part of Altbayern [0]) and order a beer (without specifying anything else), you will definitely get a Helles.
