If you are looking into higher mathematics, e.g group theory, etc, do go over Concepts of Modern Mathematics by Ian Stewart.
You should try webrtc. googles stadia is built upon webrtc, so I assume it should be able to give latency in miliseconds.
It will help apps which require interaction from users, like google stadia's game streaming. for other use cases, I think one does not care even if the feed is delayed by few seconds.
Knuth in one of his volumes ( I think vol I) has described this very nicely. way better than what was in K&R.

Even if you remove Amit Shah from equation, you can say black money converted to white, by paying 30% tax.

Well this is what the headline says.

Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank received deposits worth Rs 745.59 cr soon "after" the policy was announced, according to an RTI reply.

Please check it is "after" the policy and not Just few days before demo as you claim

I could not get this logic. Can you explain more? problem would have been, if he got that money before demonetization, or he would have bought lands/gold, even then , if money comes in bank, "blackness" goes away, no?
If you are ready to pay then go for Pluralsight, it has couple of good courses on OOP.

+1 , we wont even know when this boundary get crossed. however I think it inevitable
If you are just asking Algo and probably pseudo code, these questions might help, but if you ask to write the proper code with boundary conditions etc, that makes it difficult even if you know the Algo. Of course I am assuming that no one memorizes the code ;).

super awesome!!
atleast go through initial 4 chapters. then go through the coursera lecture of Odersky. Though SICP is lisp, the structure is very similar to scala.
If you want to learn "functional" aspect and not only library and syntax, I would recommend SICP.

I don't think they use any specific plugin, but use webRTC instead for hangouts
for geoindices why not use redis?
If you think only Software Engineers are hackers, you are wrong.
Re:High-speed Wi-Fi rolls into 100th railway station in India on Friday December 23, 2016 @08:57PM (#13248215)
most of the inquiry can be done online. so you can use your wifi and avoid going to platform 1.
just wondering, what is the difference if I use two kind of [producer, consumer] message queues (say rabbitmq) instead of this? Does genstage being a erlang system makes a difference?

both are different. poori is wheat and bhatoora is maida.

Awesome!!

cost is prohibitive today, not necessarily tomorrow or work only when you are using wifi . storage can be capped.

same reason why people seed torrent?

interesting enough.

Ask HN: Do online courses help in switching jobs

I am having 10 years of experience mostly in desktop application , good in c++/java/ OS/DS/Algo, have CS degree. I want to move in distributed computing, and was planning to take certified courses of coursera. I was wondering if once successfully completed, would it be possible to get a job at same level ( I am staff now ) in new field?

on search queries, consider twitter search, I have read it is not REST because it is not idempotent
Re:Essential Electron on Thursday August 25, 2016 @03:38AM (#12357433)
Yes desirable, but I find most of these apps, modify the chrome code for their own needs. you can find their modified code , differs vastly from what electron/CEF offers. and example would be

Re:Essential Electron on Thursday August 25, 2016 @03:28AM (#12357400)
Well, you are getting cross platform almost for free. It is a pain with other such frameworks.

Spotify, steam , brackets use these kind of tech, and I personally like them. somehow I find them fast, more stable( probably due to chromes multiprocess architecture).

I see a lot of desktop apps made from electron/CEF using Node. examples are Brackets and Steam.
