When I was young (I think I was 18 years old), me and my dad traveled across all the length of Amazon river (from Belém to Manaus) in a crowded boat sleeping on hammocks, it was a 6 days trip. https://goo.gl/maps/BFkCPx1HR1n

In some places the river was really narrow and almost could be crossed by swimming, but there where times that I couldn't see any of the two margins because of its enormous width.

Is was a really great experience, got to talk to indigenous people, saw a lot of botos cor-de-rosa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_river_dolphin) and got to eat amazing local dishes.

would you rather have your mother looking at your phone or that creepy neighbor from down the street?

There's also this nice paper on this topic (unifying events and threads): http://salmito.com/papers/rb-resd2011/

I just tell myself "Stop being a f*ing loser and do what needs to be done!". It works.

ffmpeg might be helpful in your use case: ffmpeg.exe ‐f gdigrab ‐i desktop ‐framerate 30 ‐vcodec libx264 ‐preset ultrafast new‐output‐video‐file.mkv

isn't bottom part of any data type, including a?

Well, he said that it would be bias in the first paragraph of this article.

> His post describes everything without any bias and with plenty of proof. Mine will have a slight bias in a certain direction.

It doesn't make it any less interesting.

it is not only nice, but also necessary. If you build a project with a technology you don't understand you are going to invest a significant amount of time anyway, but it might not give you what you want in the end.

My new year resolution was to learn Erlang. I am implementing a simple REST service with it and I'm loving its approach to concurrency and terseness. It is indeed a beautiful language.

Note that it is much easier for a computer to create a human-like painting than to behave like a human. The Turing test requires a two-way interaction medium.

I recommend Glasswire, it's a gui for the Windows firewall with a beautiful interface. It could be better, but is quite useful.

The artist is someone who makes art. The problem is to define what is art. Its when the artist (or others) says so.

Mostly when obliged to do so.

Tried to use your service but I got a internal server error after checking out with stripe.

of course there is, they could redirect to a page explaining the problem instead of a generic error page...

Well, he did created the Von Newmann Architecture [1] and various other concepts that are still used in modern computers. So, I would say that his work is very influential in CS.

Well, Lua coroutines uses longjmp and they're not "fairly simple" in any way.

I don't think it is a circular reasoning. There's always the good and the bad way to use something, even C++ exceptions.

I am sorry for my ignorance, but can somebody explain what this list means? How are they checking for those URLS? Are they monitoring all URLs I visit in my device? Should I be concerned?

Ah, this paper is classic... It is a response to the other (equally classic) paper "Why threads are a bad idea" [0].

In fact, threads and events are dual [1], and one can be made as efficient and the other (given a proper implementation).

... or may not.

In the recent Brazilian protests, infiltrated undercover policemen made several violent actions as an excuse to lower the credibility of peaceful protests.

How they are able to route forth and back >10M packets with a single IP?

Thats why I like Lua's hash implementation that adds a random seed to the hashing algorithm to limit those pathological side effects...

The article is co-written by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil.

I didn't like him when he was the president, but I do like very much his approach to legalize/decriminalize drugs... Kudos for them!

Once I failed at a google interview... I got 2 answers right but I couldn't answer a third math related question (because the time was over).

The recruiter asked me what was the maximum number of edges on a graph without cycles.

When I was on my way home (in a bus) I had this "a-ha" moment.

Well, they lost a great computer scientist in their team! :P

its simple, but not that simple... As you advance through later levels you are prompted with AND and OR operations.

why not? besides having a LINUX kernel, it runs a lot of GNU linux programs such as GNU coreutils...

Just a little correction, the plural of Real is Reais, and not 'reals'.

why not 4, 4, 4, 4, 4,... ;)
