Yes, I think this is the main insight of the "revolutionary" part of FBP. It's not there to make everything look like a circuit board, but to be the template for the parts of software that are well-suited for the paradigm - which, if factored out properly, could be a lot of them, more than we use today.

The tricky part isn't in whether the abstraction works, but how we go about introducing it. And the downfall of most visual languages is in burdening themselves with too much power, which I don't think FBP is guilty of. It's evolved from production systems that were still coded in textual forms, but architected - on paper - with the diagrams.
All good things, but you can also just use good old curl from the command line. Here's a Gist I made of how to upload a WARC file (basically, an archive of a website) to the IA; this can be adjusted as needed for any kind of file:

The IA is one of the best things on or about or containing the Internet. People should donate to them, hint hint: http://archive.org/donate/
I don't understand. Marissa Mayer would be a great choice for this job. I doubt she would take it, because Microsoft is totally invested in the dying PC business and she'd have to put up with whiny old Bill, but, hey, Yahoo didn't look very good until she got there.
I'm guessing you have HTTPS Everywhere installed. It works fine on HTTP.
If you're interested in following up on this you can start with some of the stuff Amory Lovins[1] has done at the Rocky Mountain Institute. He was one of the first people I am aware of to look at the entire life cycle of cars as a way of evaluating different options. I've not always agreed with his conclusions but I appreciate the clarity of his presentation and thinking.

I remember seeing a device that used flywheels to “generate lift” and I couldn’t help but noticing it involved counterrotating units, meaning that where they approached each other they were both spinning the same direction (up or down, I don’t recall which). I thought, “I bet this doesn’t work in a vacuum chamber”.

Later I remembered rotor ships. He essentially stood a complex one on its ear, and made some math errors that backed up his discovery.
There is nothing valuable (expect potentially embarrassing private information that is, however, completely worthless to some random thief) on my phone that is protected by my fingerprint. The valuable stuff (especially passwords) can’t be accessed with my fingerprint.

So for me personally that is irrelevant.

(In some of the results "Police declined to tell", and some describe the same incident, but that's just the first page with the first search term that came to my mind).
I remember camping when I was younger in the Boy Scouts, and coming home after a weekend trip and always being tired. I always thought that it was due to all of the energy I spent regulating my body temperature in the elements.

Years later, in the military, we would spend 3-14 days in the wilderness for training. I was in much better shape, and would not get tired from simply being outside.

This may be anecdotal, but it seems to lend support to the author's claims.
Some groups of Australian Aborigines are known to enter a 'hibernation' state at night, in which temperatures plummet to near-freezing temperatures. Their bodies don't shiver - instead, they go into hypothermia, and 'revive' in the morning.

There's a well-known paper from 1958 documenting some of this: 'Cold Adaptation in Australian Aborigines', by Scholander et al; but the more interesting account is from the Textbook of Biochemistry and Human Biology by Talwar & Srivastava: "Australian aborigines... a group of stone age people who customarily sleep comfortably without clothing, on the ground at temperatures well below freezing. Their body and skin temperature drops tremendously, insulation against heat loss increases by vasoconstriction, and metabolism and heat production remains unaltered. This ethnic group have developed the inborn ability to tolerate hypothermia without recourse to compensation by metabolic heat production - a case of acclimatization by genetic adaptation." (page 886)
How does that work out for the person in charge of repelling cyber attacks? Not much profit in that.
It runs on Xen via the rump kernel http://rumpkernel.org. it should run on OSv too but will need some work as that uses the glibc ABI not the kernel ABI which differ slightly.
I'm very amazed by this. How can this even be possible? Is there a standard formula that breaks every copy protection out there?

For the most basic protection, find out where the copy protection check takes place, and patch the executable to skip over that check.

Obviously this would only work for the most trivial of copy protection. The basic principle remains the same, though.

I use every bit of StackExchange and have for a few years....except for meta

I use multiple stack exchange sites and even chat and have found it all useful...except for meta

In the few times I have posted to meta, I get downvoted into oblivion. So far, the vibe I get from meta, is that there is an in-crowd with a certain philosophy and if it isn't yours get the fuck out or we will downvote you and pick apart your every word.

It makes me wonder...as a help forum what the hell is meta really for?

Also congrats to SE, glad to see them get this funding...but please wtf is meta?

Sorry that you think so. You can ask apple for your money back if you dont like the app. The scenario that you say was fixed and tested in the last update. The app should NOT forget the Mac. Might be that somehow it doesnt work for a certain setup. What system do you have on your Mac? We can try to fix it.
In this analogy you seem to believe the trajectory for this toddler is set in stone. The reality is at it's infancy (which is where Space X is in the grand scheme) it can look very promising but turn out very bad, or a competitor can drastically outpace. Any valuation should discount for the level of risk.

A lot can happen over time. 10 years ago MySpace was by far the dominant social network and Blackberry was the mobile powerhouse. Seemed like neither would fall with so much momentum behind them but we see how that played out.
I work in finance, and the process by which senior executives are selected literally screens to ensure assholery. It's like a job requirement.
Please note that the HN community takes a rather strict approach when moderating comments that contribute noise to the conversation. "Nice article!" comments are routinely downvoted. As is sarcasm, witticisms, memes, references and other styles of comments that occur frequently but do not contribute to the discussion. It's a knowingly doomed attempt to hold back the flood of noise that covers Reddit. Welcome to Hacker News!
This reminds me of the unhelpful SO answers where they state the answer to a question is already stated as part of a spec and won't be answered with a link to the spec. My preferred answer to these questions will quote applicable parts of the spec along with reference numbers and a link.

I don't understand why I have to click another link to go to another site that doesn't have the same context and awareness of where I just came from.
Higher courts can make fundamental decisions which are binding for other courts; however these are not precedent as they only clarify how the law is to be interpreted in general.

There are indeed inconsistencies in the decisions of the lower courts, and in some cases (like defamation suits) with no clear geographic reference this can lead to forum shopping.

Edit: An important point that I forgot to make is that in cases where a lower court might deviate from the usual legal practice, it may be required to ask a higher court to decide in the matter precisely to avoid grave inconsistencies. So case law is never completely irrelevant in Germany.
> The necessary condition for it to prevail is when people (young men in particular) lose their sense of social identity and personal networks so that they are isolated from each other and can't get more than three to five together at once to privately share their experience of the movements infiltrating their communities. It's a playbook.

You made up this part up and even got it opposite. If anything communism gave you more social outlet and company then capitalism. You was part of a group a lot more. A lot more was communal. Moreover, socially, family relationships were a lot more important for individuals.

It lacked freedom. But it did not lacked company.
For god's sake, this article engages in so much dishonest false equivalency that it's disrespectful to the notion of journalism. The author constantly interrelates skeptics of highly specific things with very reasonable questions and paranoid nutcases in a way that makes it as implicit as possible that they're in the same big basket. In other words, if you in an way question lockdowns, strict government policies or economic consequences and share these views with others on the web or in public, well then you're right in the same range as people who join together in thinking 5G networks spread COVID, or those who simply deny its existence. Mendacious, biased and unfair to many legitimate concerns over lockdowns.
The problem is that the violent criminal suffers no consequences whatsoever.

Any consequences, even kludgy ones, are better than none.

Perhaps the increased cost of liability insurance for the most violent will ultimately force them out of a job that shields them from criminal liability for violent crime, as someone else pointed out.
Intel at one point tried an FPGA-in-package with a server CPU. It turns out that you can't downclock/power gate parts of FPGA designs nearly as easily as you can CPU components, so the whole package had thermal regulation issues. You had to run the CPU at a very conservative frequency in order to let the FPGA use power as it needs to.

There are FPGA-SoCs out there that are mostly FPGA, and that seems like the way to go if you want to combine FPGAs and CPUs, otherwise they should probably be on separate power and heat budgets.
Eventually, I think the economic collapse will cause the country to break up into smaller states. It already happened with USSR. In long term perspective, this might improve the situation with human rights. And that’s something that can be accelerated with international economic sanctions.

But I’m not sure this gonna help Navalny. For one, I don’t think he has enough time left. Another thing, when soviet forces retreated from western parts of the country in 1941, they killed hostages instead of releasing them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NKVD_prisoner_massacres
Yeah, it’s shocking that almost every day I log onto HN and see either (1) security exploits in legacy C code or, (2) new C code being introduced into the world that invites the same exploits to the untrained programmer. The same way people keep repeating the same mistakes, I will keep repeating my criticisms. We’re stuck in an infinite loop.
I... don't even know how to start answering this.

"C" is glorified assembly and learning assembly is *fundamental* to understand how computers work. "C" *should* be the first language programmers learn when they get serious (ex: first year computer science classes).

When I write "C" I know exactly what is going on with each of my CPU cycles and where my variables are being allocated. The compiler is a dead simple translator who doesn't play funny tricks behind my back.

"C" is the perfect language to learn and have fun with the underlying architecture.

"C" is very easy to learn and not that hard to master. It is fast to compile, fast to run and available everywhere.

I don't like "C++". All code bases maintained by more than one single developer (no matter the language it is written in) become rotten with time but, from my experience, the larger the amount of features a language has, the worst this becomes. All big "C++" projects I have worked on (except for one) were horrendous. This also happens in "C", but in "C" I can just "grep" the keyword and immediately know where it comes from.

I don't like "Rust". I've tried to learn it twice and failed. There are too many places where I lose track what the compiler is doing, the (formal?) specification is big and complex and keeps growing (approaching "C++" absurdity levels). There is never an "obvious" way to do one thing. I get "Rust" is a test bench for language designers, but they are creating an over-engineered monster that is not easy to use (think "low gravity ink injection pen" vs "pencil")

So... "C" is perfect for me (and many others). It's simple, fast and as powerful as it gets, which means it is also fun. As others have mentioned on this thread, together with "cppcheck", "valgrind", "electric-fence" and friends it is also as secure as any other.

"C" is here to stay.
This comment is so confused that I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make beyond trying and failing to insult people. But just in case this wasn't just the cat walking across your keyboard: yes, it's possible to be a fan of something that provides infinitely more value than the alternative while simultaneously not being perfect. I can't think of anything that _is_ perfect and has fans.
Wikipedia cites the A4 CPU at a max speed of 1GHz.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A4
> Given the nature of the Android ecosystem, I think we can be pretty sure that if it turns out that Apple bet right and the extra resolution is a good selling point, we’ll be in an amusing arms race around DPI PDQ.

Once you surpass the limits of human vision, where individual pixels can't be resolved at 12-24" distances (whether this is 300dpi or 400dpi, or whatever), there simply is no benefit to going higher. There are significant costs to increasing DPI, such as memory + GPU bandwidth. The hardware/manufacturing limitations are probably costly as well (does _anyone_ manufacture displays in volume with > 350 dpi?)
I don't reject Quicktime, it just doesn't work on Apple's website in OS X / Chrome. Thanks.

I wouldn't be OK with you sharing with other people the fact that I interviewed with you...

PARTICULARLY not if through those other people there is a reasonably high chance of it getting back to my employer.

You could avoid that by having the service not provide any level of detail, just a "yes/no, this person passed threshold X requests in time T." But if that got popular then I guarantee that craptastic employers would get the bright idea of, after hiring people, having lots of fake companies report interviewing them. This would make their current employees have trouble getting interviewed elsewhere.
I like the idea of these functional JS libraries but I'm always concerned about the performance hit.
This is interesting because it shows how far behind the US is in the telecoms space.

In Europe this has been a basic feature of all 3G phones for around five years. If you want to videochat you just press the button and call somebody up using their normal phonenumber.

It was pretty hyped up, but it never really caught on because there simply aren't that many usecases where you want to videochat with people on the go. Especially as you have to hold out your phone in fromt of you in a somewhat awkward way. Now it's just old and tired.
Margins on supermarkets are much lower than you think - when A&P was doing 1.06% of sales as profit they were considered superstars for making that much.

Imagine a decent sized store that does $200K over a 3 day weekend with people buying steaks, etc. Net profit for all that work, logistics, HR, etc. is about $2,000 .
I have no preference and comment on blogs.

The Rise Of Mobile Shopping & The Future Of Retail
http://blog.wearepopup.com/post/43391477385
There are an increasing number of retailers seeking to enhance engagement, from Levi’s Craft Of Music campaign, to Westfield’s Future Fashion events, exciting fashion start-ups like TheEdit @wearetheco and the Vogue-sponsored Fashion Night Out across London’s West End. Even pure-play online retailers like Capital One or eBay are increasingly experimenting with physical spaces and pop-ups to build engagement.

It may seem obvious, but physical engagement with a brand or community or product is the core advantage that a ‘shop’ - or increasingly ‘pop-up’ - enjoys over an online experience. Mobile computing is an agent in this physical to digital (or vise versa) journey.
