The computer was not baffled but took up the whole ship's computing resources to make the tea there by causing the ship to go out of control.

On a second thought yeah it was baffled.

Large corporations also consider IBM's db2 equivalent to Microsoft's/Oracle's database. There should've been an option for that too.

my first reaction was it's going to be O(9^n) worst case - but there is & after f "$1" which spawns its own process for each number. Not bad - maybe its a good algo if all are single digits

Even after doing all that the prize money is for getting the company name right.
I think saying it's not like 'Memcached' could be wrong. I can think of Memcached as a specialized case of LevelDB.

I don't get the point of this post. If the screenshot said MB/s then that was something. My Apt has a corporate internet freely available for the residents and I always get 500 - 700Mbps.

Actually this is exactly how I started learning openGL. Be it a new language or new framework always follow these steps.

Read it. Maybe couple of times (say only chapters 1-3) in the beginning. Understand the basic mechanism first rather than try out a program copied from somewhere else.

Start testing out simple things.

I'm lucky to not have fallen for all the blog posts/tutorials on openGL where they spit out a C file and say to compile and run it.

> This iMac will be chained down in our new office

That's when I realized its April 1st

There was a similar one for Reddit in C# style. Nice.
I've been reading every article about Color since this morning (3/24) in office and at the end of the day before shutting down my machine and head home I decided to read this one too from forbes.

A sudden sense of realization hit me real hard just this second (honestly not trying to be dramatic).

Color is emulating the exact thing that was shown in The Dark Knight where all the mobile phones are used for spying, but in a more beautiful and positive way. Color is trying to more than an app. It gives the feel of living in the virtual world yet not loose grip on the reality.

I can now feel (in a small way) what the creators of color are trying to do.
