Why are you posting this question as if anyone here knows the answer?
I'm a bit confused trying to apply your analogy to offices; I doubt you meant that we should install grass on the floor and nothing else :) one possible interpretation is to start with just a big empty space, and let people buy or bring in whatever furniture they want, but that seems pretty problematic w.r.t. logistics, people picking things which will last / are affordable ("I work best in this CLS AMG with leather massage seats parked in the corner").

Could you please explain your idea in more detail?
Good to know. It would be nice if there was an option for the compiler to build a single .c file that was totally self-contained, for distribution purposes.
An unserialize attack would require intimate knowledge of the operating codebase, as well as an encoded object (only objects can be exploited this way) that could be configured to execute an attack via its constructor or __set_state() method. Or, installing a backdoor through another CVE to create the opportunity for just this kind of attack. It's complex, but not unknown.

I'm not aware of any major applications (WordPress, Drupal, etc) that deserialize user input. That's not to say a plugin or theme might be unsafe, but not in the core code that I've seen.
A big mistake for a newcomer to any field is to put too much stock into people's opinions, particularly those that are put disrespectfully. It's a common technique among the programming crowd to vocally disparage other people to make yourself seem smarter than you are. This article is one of those.
Which industry are they in?
This looks awesome, congrats to the developer, whenever I see something like this, I still right click the app in disbelief and smile when I don't flash :)
I remember, I used to be penalized in A'levels if I didn't give examples and analogies when I was explaining a concept. Actually the lecturer never gave any points for technical explanation. But this sort of learning came in handy years later when trying to explain the research I'm doing to my boss and people around me. I just think it is a skill that can be learned.
If they aren't particularly good at anything, how do you know that they're smart? They could merely sound smart to you because they seem (for example) articulate and hold similar opinions.
Yeah but though I expect the iPad project was a closely guarded secret within Apple, iOS 4 likely wasn't, and the iPhone 4 was probably less of a secret than the pad. Why the iPad team didn't get any hints as to the amount of RAM to put in the thing is beyond me, especially as there are already reports of RAM-limitation issues on the pad (e.g. where iPhone 3gs Safari can keep half a dozen tabs around without reloading them all the time, iPad is apparently unable to)
because they can sell 10k of software upgrades?

Tesla is worth like 700/share in 4 years if everything works out with their factories and expansion. If they hit the lottery and magically figure out self driving, then they will 2x-3x, because they can have better than software company margins.

I don't fault the crowd for thinking they will have self driving cars in a few years. I don't see it really happening outside of a few really well managed cities.

I wonder what is required to enter this.
Nice page, very clean and straightforward, yet not too dull. Cool project!
Assuming I understood your argument correctly, yes. :) (ambient foo = the foo all around; usually used w.r.t. temperature, e.g. food cooling to ambient temperature in the room) The air outside that is the input to your heat pump is already there, already at whatever temperature, that's your argument right?

So, yes, it is, but my point is that you can't ignore it as an input just because you don't have to order (and pay for) some air to supply. In calculating efficiency, you have to put an imaginary box around the heat pump, and look at what's going in, and what (that is the desired useful thing) is coming out.

If inputs don't cost you anything, that means you might not care about lower efficiency, but it doesn't mean that the efficiency isn't lower.
I responded to the part of the comment that I had a response to, and I didn't mean any kind of hostility, much less to pick any kind of fight.
That's the best type of parody
I'm sorry but you're exaggerating quite a lot. Were are you based? In France this is definitely not the case. Public care works and is efficient enough.
Cut the problem down into smaller sections. Focus on either investments, or raising capital or how to structure offerings for a new company at various seed rounds. Get the basics and fundamentals down and then the ancillary knowledge will fill in the gaps
You can make almost as much money (well above the average) doing a "normal" 35-40 hour week in tech. I'd rather have a sensible work:life balance and earn a bit less, than spend my entire life working until midnight.

Plus, I find tech is very egalitarian. Nobody cares whether you went to a public or state school, if you have a regional accent or anything like that. Banking still has the "old money" club problems.
The problem with GS announcements like these is that you never know whether it's an actual insight or they're pushing a narrative or just advertising

Ah bless, I remember being 15.
Virtual DOM implementation is indeed different.

The biggest reason for calling it "React-like" is the basic idea of components, where related HTML and JS are combined together.

> "Build components, not templates"

http://www.slideshare.net/floydophone/react-preso-v2

I think this is the "what" of React and virtual DOM is the "how".
mixmax, I coded some bash scripts to make easier to use delicious; http://github.com/azer/bookmarking-tools. Using dmenu (suckless.org) with these scripts, it's very comfortable to access bookmarks on desktop. I don't know the Firefox 4 way of executing a bash command but UZBL users can also bind a key like "b" to insert new bookmark to both a local file and to delicious.
I created a shortener (for personal control, tracking, etc) and can really, really identify with #3 and #4. I was blocking loads of nonsensical domains each day for weeks before the hosting company pulled the pin and I just gave up and pointed my domain to bit.ly.
I watch Netflix using the 3G connection on my phone, sometimes from ridiculous locations. I rarely have issues. I've been really impressed by how reliable it is, actually, and by how effectively it handles unpredictable connections. Amazon Unbox is not as reliable, though it does provide the ability to download it to watch later from hard disk, which is a win over Netflix which has to stream.

But, it sounds like you have higher standards for your movies than I do. I'm surprised a rented DVD provides a better experience, though...the forced previews, the likelihood of scratches leading to skips and freezes and such, make DVDs less valuable to me, even without the pain of having to go get them and return them.
It's a lot harder than I was expecting.
Not getting bent out of shape. Just politely disagreeing with Chris. :)

I appreciate Chris a lot for the time he puts into his blog and I have acknowledged that numerous times in my comments on disqus.

But I disagree with him on this topic.
Huh, didn't know that, thanks.

I wonder if the latency difference compared to the aya neo is because of Wine/Proton. I've played through Journey on Wine and couldn't help but notice the camera input being 2-3 frames late.
PG:

"...let me clarify that I'm not writing here about Java (which I have never used) but about hacker's radar (which I have thought about a lot)."
Who am I going to listen to, the man who taught me more than I ever could ever imagine (and is now retired and giving away his millions) or some stranger who thinks he knows better?

I often share thoughts like this in the OP's spirit of "pass it on" so that it may benefit someone else.

Take it or leave it. But doubting it, commenting on what it "seems", or downvoting it only makes you look like a fool.

Show HN: Edify – show what you know and we’ll find problems you can solve
https://edify.ws/post/204
Hi HN,

I’m Stefan, a 23 year old student working on Edify. Edify is a network of knowledge feeds connecting knowledge with problems. We think the world is a set of problems and solutions, and solutions to problems can only be found through knowledge. A sense of purpose, the highest form of happiness, comes from using your knowledge to solve problems. This process is easier with Edify because we help find problems you can solve to earn money when you share knowledge. You can share your knowledge by sharing projects with communities of people with similar interests through clubs.

I feel like the main goal people have is to learn from the world around them and creatively use what they’ve learned to fulfill a purpose. Our purpose at Edify is to help people find their purpose by organizing their knowledge. Learn more here:

https://edify.ws/post/204

This is our 3rd iteration (50% different from 2nd) which is meant to find a problem solving use case for knowledge shared over our platform to help people who share knowledge earn money.

1st: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28699530 - was focused on universities sharing lectures online for a subscription fee. Universities were not really interested.

2nd (100% different from 1st): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30460049 - was focused on individual people sharing knowledge to replace CVs. Knowledge is not really useful without a use case.

Open and Edit Save Files
Hi, I recently lost some progress in a game cause the save file got coruppted. Then i found a post on reddit which shows a way to fix that corruption. Apparently it's kinda risky but i lost 18 hours of progress so i'd like to take the risk. So i went to my save file and tried to open it with editor. But instead of a code i got some sort of hieroglyphs. The first part of this looked like this:
"BND4 @ 00000001 P ÿÿÿÿ À P ÿÿÿÿ Ú P ÿÿÿÿ ô P ÿÿÿÿ 0 0 P ÿÿÿÿ @ @ ( P ÿÿÿÿ P P B P ÿÿÿÿ ` ` \ P ÿÿÿÿ p p v P ÿÿÿÿ € € P ÿÿÿÿ ª P ÿÿÿÿ Ä P ÿÿÿÿ ° ¦ Þ U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 0 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 1 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 2 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 3 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 4 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 5 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 6 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 7 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 8 U S E R _ D A T A 0 0 9 U S E R _ D A T A 0 1 0 U S E R _ D A T A 0 1 1 "
It was all written in one line. Well you can clearly see that this is supposed to be some kind of code because the number of the lines are there (001, 002,...) and it even shows some words like User_Data. But the rest is pretty much just random signs.
This has nothing to do with the corruption because i started a new game and the file looks the same. I also opened it with notepad++ but i got the same result. Do i need a different program to open this or is there something else wrong?
New system uses low-power Wi-Fi signal to track moving humans
http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/new-system-uses-low-power-wi-fi-signal-to-track-moving-humans-0628.html
"So instead Wi-Vi uses just one receiver. As the person moves through the room, his or her distance from the receiver changes, meaning the time it takes for the reflected signal to make its way back to the receiver changes too. The system then uses this information to calculate where the person is at any one time."

The Secret to Choreographing Complex Robotic Movements
http://www.industrytap.com/secret-choreographing-complex-robotic-movements/18104
DARPA’s Phoenix robotic satellite recovery and redeployment program, that will attempt to “mine” 1,600 dead satellites currently in orbit around the earth, recently went looking for software to run its robotic satellite that will save the US billions of dollars in satellite replacement and launch expenses. At the same time, a company called Robotic Drilling Systems a NASA contractor, is developing a fully automated robotic drilling rig that will position itself using satellite coordinates, erect 14-story steel reinforcements on its own and drill wells. Both projects turned to Energid Technologies (pronounced “Enger jid”) of Cambridge, Massachusetts to supply software to help make these visions a reality.

The issue is you cannot select the 2nd drop down menu to advanced you in the page and thus you are stuck there.

I am not sure if this is intentional or they just don't want anyone lodging anymore tickets. Please reply if you guys are also having problems.

Cloud crash: how about Amazon offers free inter cloud fast data transfer?
OK, so the cloud aint perfect and we now need to design for redundancy. A critical aspect of redundancy is to design applications that exist in multiple clouds.

But currently there is punishing data transfer rates for copying data between for example Amazon and Rackspace or Amazon and Microsoft.

How about as part of the solution to the big cloud crash, Amazon, Rackspace, Microsoft and Google all work together to provide super fast, free data transfer between clouds.

This would allow us to build robust redundant applications that are able to survive inevitable cloud outages.
