Good ways to "insult" a computer scientist
Computer scientists are a group of people who are hard working and talented. They build the theory foundation for information and computation and they usually work on something difficult to understand. Many computer algorithms are created by computer scientists. In our mind, they are those people we admire most. But sometimes we also want to make fun of them or "insult" them. What are good ways to "insult" them? Here we share some. Ask him to make a website for you...and with PHP. Ask them why ...

Application vs Database Programming
A few years ago, I had a problem. A database routine for processing bulk payments for LedgerSMB that was humming along in my test cases was failing when tested under load with real data prior to implementation. Some testing showed that while it ran fine with small numbers of inputs, it eventually slowed way down as the number of inputs rose. Andrew Sullivan, who was also on the project through a different company, suggested it was something called a "cache miss" because I...

JavaScript tutorial - Creating time delays
There are two ways of creating time delays with JavaScript. The first is more simple and will simply wait for a specified amount of time before executing a function. The second does the same but will repeatedly execute the function. Note, many browsers have a minimum delay length of between 25 and 75 ms, with some of the fastest browsers having a minimum delay of about 3 ms. If a shorter delay is specified, the actual delay will be the minimum delay length. Even with higher numbers, the delay i...

Parallel Javascript
Lately the ideas for a parallel, shared memory JavaScript have begun to take shape. I’ve been discussing with various JavaScript luminaries and it seems like a design is starting to emerge. This post serves as a documentation of the basic ideas; I’m sure the details will change as we go along. User Model The model is that a JavaScript worker (the “parentâ€) may spawn a number of child tasks (the “childrenâ€). The parent is suspended while the children exe...

Coding skill and the decline of stagnation
I am a decent programmer. I know a decent amount of computer science theory, I can type correct code fairly easy. I don’t let my classes expand too much. But I still struggle some with math, and I have a tendency to have too many cross-dependencies in my code. I used to think I was an awesome programmer. One of the best. After I made a game in the first programming lesson in school, I got told to don’t bother showing up for the rest. I was the one who taught all my friends wh...

Is 99.8% Secure Secure?
A group of researchers (Arjen Lenstra and collaborators from EPFL Lausanne and James Hughes from Palo Alto) published a study, Ron was wrong Whit is right, of new vulnerabilities of cryptosystems. The New York Times picked up the story. Although Lenstra et al discuss several cryptosystems, their results are particularly relevant to those based on RSA. The title mirrors their conviction that cryptosystems based on a single random element have fewe...

4 types of programmers
Not every one who writes code is a programmer. Programmers are people who live with programming. There are 4 types of programmers: scientist, coder, expert and artisan.Scientist, they are more like mathematicians rather than programmers. They invented various theories, algorithms and terminologies. Proofs and calculations in textbooks are all from these people. Moreover other programmers more or less benefit from their work. Sometimes one paper published by them can change the way of thinking of...

Coming full circle
Experts often end up where they started as beginners.If you’ve never seen the word valet, you might pronounce it like VAL-it. If you realize the word has a French origin, you would pronounce it val-A. But the preferred pronunciation is actually VAL-it.Beginning musicians play by ear, to the extent that they can play at all. Then they learn to read music. Eventually, maybe years later, they realize that music really is about what you hear and not what you see.Beginning computer science stu...
