Sounds like it's worth doing if you want to do longer edit sessions with Final Cut Pro on the M1 Air.

I like that you can control how hot the bottom gets by applying more or less thermal pads.
I mean it’s, but if you don’t take location into account then suddenly you can only hire from low cost locations where the talent does not exist.

It’s really unfair whatever you do, and right now there is no good solution. Partially because there is no good way of understanding the value of an employee.
What little quality research there is on programming productivity, does support the idea that dynamic typing is a productivity hindrance as code bases get larger, for exactly this reason. Some studies actually have video data of the programmers at work and they can seem them having to hop around to function definitions more to figure out what they are supposed to pass in, etc
I've interacted with a number of different sleep labs (Germany and UK). All physicians I've spoken to are well aware of the fact, however, the effect size of what they are typically looking for is greater than this 1st night effect. E.g. if you have sleep apnea it will (very likely) show up on the first night already.

If your condition is more subtle (e.g. sleepwalking) they will already book you for two nights.

In addition, there is a counter-effect where people are struggling for years with their condition and being in a sleep lab brings some form of 'being taken serious'.
Right. It indicates that market forces aren’t benefitting labor as much as they could an extreme degree. What aspect of the market needs to be changed in order for everyone to benefit similarly? Clearly companies are making far more per worker than they’re paying out (at least in this case). Why is it so extreme?

NSA/GCHQ's tactic of discrediting someone by exposing his porn browsing habits can now be used against the NSA/GCHQ.
We've been considering "porting" our app from Flask-RESTful to Django REST Framework because it is so well architected, tested, and has a large community around it. So I'm overjoyed to hear that you're bringing this awesomeness to the Flask world Tom!
This is fantastic. Thanks. I will integrate this into my next post.
Anything with a paywall IMO is hostile to being shared, thus posting it to HN at all is a bit of a dick move, for all parties involved.

I'd downvote if I could.
You should modify your browsing habits to only include sites without ads then.

Most likely yes.

It has been pointed out that under the UK's tough anti-child-porn laws, there is no way that this is legal.

I can see your point for the post I was responding to, but I've numerous posts throughout the page that seem to be debating over human readability as well.
See http://bitop.luajit.org/

It comes standard as part of LuaJIT, which is likely what should be used for anything like a wireshark plugin (I don't know what wireshark actually uses, but LuaJIT is a drop-in replacement for the most part).

Bitop (or something similar) is included in Lua 5.2 as well.
That wouldn't work over SSL, as there is no plain text in the HTTP Verb. And I recall a "paper" coming up some months ago that was mentioning the protocols the PS3 goes through, which does confirm that the data is transmitted over SSL.[0]

This is case-in-point for centralized log-archival-and-analysis tools like SenSage. No matter how secure you make your infrastructure, in situations like this you want evidence of all activity on your networks, computers, DB's, app servers, apps, etc. Storing log data related to this activity can consume petabytes over a multi-year span.

I don't know what kind of forensic tools Sony's using, hopefully they have something like SenSage.
It's software, and a music store and an app store. (Plus podcasts and TV shows.) Having a strong brand doesn't mean everyone loves it. It means everyone knows it.
Not domestically cough.
So the "defense" as I read it boiled down to:

1) Just because it isn't ready yet doesn't mean it won't be someday,

2) It has a better chance of being improved because it's closer than other Google projects to their company's core competency, and

3) The market may not be ready for it yet.

Even if I grant the first two, that last point is problematic. While there are plenty of people who like keeping their data in the cloud, I get the impression the Chrome OS use case is for people who only want their data in the cloud. I wonder how many machines that will equal, given that we've just had a couple of decades of laptop usage and having more than one computer is popular.

Tangentially, at the risk of sounding like a 2nd cousin to rms, I find I'm still a trifle irked that Android and Chrome are being referred to as operating systems when in fact they're new user interfaces stuck on top of Linux.

$50 seems like the better plan to me. Ofcourse, if I ask the users who haven't subscribed and still use the free model, they think $50 is too much and they would be more likely to pay $20

Of course they would rather pay less! But you also have to consider that when people start paying, they usually expect a higher level of service. If you can keep the number of people with high expectations to a minimum and still turn a profit, you'll be in better shape.

Start with the higher price, and see how it goes. If you aren't getting enough customers, you can always offer limited-time discounts (e.g. "Regularly $50/yr, but sign up during December and get your account at $40/yr for life!").

I want derived works to remain GPL, yes.

Furthermore, if say, I release something under the 2-clause BSD license, and hand over maintainership, the new maintainer can make any new versions closed source, since the BSD license permits that. Granted, I - or anyone - could take the last open source version and continue from there, but that doesn't change the fact, that the BSD license allows such a scenario.

The GPL doesn't, which is why I prefer that over the rest.
Take note when that happens and let that be your guide to telling you what you should be working on. We all have things we think we should be working on, but they often get kicked to the curb when something else comes along. The more you pay attention the closer you'll get to working on what really matters to you.

But if you want a tip, remember this: The grass may be greener on the other side, but it still needs to be cut, weeded, and watered.
C# is a decent language to use, and has evolved rather rapidly over the last few years. I remember in the 1.0 (and even PDC days) when C# came out as essentially a Java clone, and to find out about how to use classes I'd find the most help from Java documentation! Now it is a different beast, and has become more usable, and lots of the changes have made it more useful and faster programming.

Since 2.0 VB.Net has started falling behind, for example not getting the "yield" convenience that C# got. So on the MS provided languages, C# is continously getting better than VB.Net, and you'll hear even less advocacy for VB.Net!

That said, the .Net framework can be used with more interesting languages (my preferred one is a python-like language called Cobra: www.cobra-language.com) and the primary loss in the equation is the Visual Studio environment (although MS is making it easier to write language extensions in 2010 version). So you can use an excellent framework with many other languages.

So then what you are left with is the language itself. I can't speak for others, but the script-like syntaxes speak to my brain more naturally than C-like languages, and I have found that I am most effective in thinking in a language like python than I am with either VB.Net or C#.

Part of the appeal that python/ruby have is they typically come with the non-Windows OS a person might use. For instance Python comes out of the box with OS X and most *nix OSes.

You are right on the abstracting what you've learned. It is true for a general language family, and less so (but still helpful) when you cross families. By that, if you stay in the procedural/OO realm of languages, you'll notice lots of similarities, but if you branch out into functional languages it will be very different.
A little more than a year ago the washington post hired away a senior editor from huffington post to lead their "digital products" or something like that, basically integrate with social networking sites like facebook and twitter. Hence all the buttons you see in this post.

Please, Yahoo, distribute the final public-facing database for free. There are millions of links organized in there and it's an incredibly useful repository. If that data is lost, we just lost thousands of man years of tagging the Web.

I have 5919 bookmarks in there. But.. of course, it's just structured data, I could import it to other services and use it fine.

The real loss here is how you can use it to analyze other people's bookmarks. Almost every page of any merit is tagged and in their system, just because Delicious is/was the biggest game in town.

Does that answer my question? IIRC Windows Server 2003 was quite similar in HW reqs to XP, so should 2008 support it?
Well put. At some point, the market structure/complexities intended to provide a benefit, became too difficult to manage and too easy to exploit. It's a tough balancing act.

We compete against BitBucket's free plan by providing better service & features, a much larger community, and an insane amount of publicly available code.

It came as no surprise to us when Atlassian decided the only way BitBucket could compete with GitHub was to essentially give it away.

While they can afford to do this now, I'm fearful that the people choosing BitBucket for this reason alone may get a rude awakening when Atlassian decides BitBucket shouldn't continue being a loss-leader for the rest of their products.

Our growth at GitHub has only continued to increase month over month, so while people laud BitBucket's free plan, many more understand the value of paying for a premium service.
This is unbelievably awesome. Learning by breaking things is one of my favorite things and the level of detail here is astounding!

I'll be looking to pick up some shares as a long-term investment. I think ARM is one of the best things to happen to computing, and anything that threatens the x86 monoculture/hegemony is a good thing in my view.
Agreed. I read through two sections (chapters?) before internally screaming "Get to the point".

Immediately went to the comment section to find a TLDR. This one helped me.

TODOIST linked to my calendar with reminders
Cellphone app so I can make tasks on the go or plan events
By supplementing my working memory with task trackers, a wiki, and notes in my code.

Project overviews go into a task tracker, which is Jira for work and the ToDo app for home.

I track time constrained events on my calendar, with alerts set to go off at an interval chosen to ensure any pre-deadline tasks are completed.

I use vimwiki as my long term scrach pad, with work and home separated into separate wikis. In these I try and ensure that I can pick up any task I have worked on in the past just by reading through the appropriate page, and that I have enough cross-links to be able to dive into any subject I haven't touched in some time.

This does mean that the Wiki consumes quite a bit of time, as ensuring project notes are both complete and accurate means going back through everything and fixing assumptions.

Code notes keep track of the subtasks I need to complete in the code: I use `XXX` to delineate "complete me before releasing" tasks, and `TODO` for "look at this the next time you're working on this code". For example, I might outline the high level process first as a series of XXX comments. Then as I implement the code which replaces these comments, I will write necessary stubs with their own XXX comments on what needs to be implemented. If I write something I don't like (but it works), it gets a TODO for refactoring.

Sometimes these code comments don't even last for two minutes, but it ensures that if I have to leave the code base for a week, I can come back to it and quickly identify what I was doing and why.

External communications which require a response are all kept in my email inbox; if it's in my inbox it either needs to be reviewed or it needs a reply, upon review if it doesn't need a reply the data is moved to the appropriate location and the email is archived.

This results in a flow which revolves around getting a task (either via an interrupt or the task tracker), pulling up and reading through the appropriate project wiki page, and beginning work. The notes in the code let me know where I was in the process of completing this task, and what remains to be done.

Once a task is completed (or an interruption starts a new task), I do a bit of cleanup by updating the task tracker to reflect the work which was completed, checking code into git, close all the related windows and start on the next task.

In my job, context switches are usually triggered by in person conversations, and happen all too frequently. This is why I intentionally limit my working rate with frequent updates to the wiki and code notes, so I can get back to a task and not forget something vital because my working memory got fragmented by interruptions.

One improvement I hope to make at some point in time is to use separate windows to keep multiple tasks alive at any given time, which could reduce the extra context switch cleanup I currently perform.
What do you consider to be particularly egregious examples of this? I know you mentioned the push notification UI, but can you elaborate, or point out some other cases where Apple's design aesthetic "stinks of excess"?

This company apparently doesn't want me to see their site. too bad.
Just to be sure, I wasn't discounting them - as I said it remains to be seen how they scale to the DIY challenges that I mentioned. Also the impact of any limitations resulting from these scale issues (if they prove to be a problem) may not be that much in terms of lost sales - as more than anything Apple's success lies in building brand loyalty and the Apple customers may choose to live with those limits. But it will pose problems for them if they target rapid sales growth outside the US.

I'm finding this app very, very slow and kinda quirky. I also noticed it'll let you send comments to the server and even response positively without being logged into the system but I don't see the comments actually being displayed so I'm guessing they're silently being ignored?

What someone awhile back had suggested (and I can't find the article now) is using virtual playback of 5.1 audio and doing Ambisonic-like math to produce the proper directional cues.

As in, it wouldn't be a cohesive audiofield in of itself, it merely would be like standing in front of a 5.1 system.

I think the trick was using headphones as a very wide stereo dipole system, and just doing all the timing correctly (ie, lesser than full scale HRTF). Due to how 5.1 systems are positioned (30 degrees between L and C, C and R, and 60 between L and R), there isn't much you can do to get this correct.

"Jealousy is when you worry someone will take what you have. Envy is wanting what someone else has."

-- Homer Simpson (seriously)

i'm an entrepreneur too, with some modest success. my company makes single-digit millions/year in revenue, i take home a low six figure annual salary - i don't mention specific numbers because it changes all the time.

it sounds like you need to figure out what you're actually envious of, and decide if you want to achieve it or not. otherwise you're just being pummeled helpless by your own subconscious desires, which is a type of personal hell.

personally, i don't give a shit about recognition or fame or doing a great thing for society (right now), i just want lots of money. i'm not ashamed to admit it - i tell people this in real life too. i want to make a lot of money, so i can buy a lot of cool shit and not struggle with bills (not that i ever have, but you know what i mean). i came to this conclusion after a considerable amount of thought and self-reflection, and it took a while for me to be able to admit it to myself (and others).

some people aren't in it for the money - they're in it for the fame, or recognition, or they want to prove their dad wrong, or some other completely personal reason, and the money is just a side effect since it's so pervasive in our society.

once you identify what you actually want, and admit it to yourself, you can set about on your mission of achieving it without being caught up in your own petty mental nonsense. that's just an indicator you aren't being honest with yourself (and possibly others).

Definitely, but I think it's unlikely that it will close the gap much between the fast and slow std::toupper() compilations (my own toupper is mostly just in there as an interesting reference point).

In addition to more instructions and a function call, the slow version has many more memory dereferences, so if everything is very cold it is likely to suffer more misses.
