For a single person that a pretty good solution just make sure you backup you SSH key so you can recover if you lose your yubikey.

In a multi-person enterprise the issue becomes how to manage all these keys with on-boarding, off-boarding, logs, access policies as people's roles change. Maybe someone only needs access for a day? How do you ensure their key is removed tomorrow morning. Maybe someone never setup their yubikey and their SSH key is just living on their laptop and backed up to dropbox. SSH is a great solution for individuals but I've encountered so many anti-patterns when used among large teams.
This is so huge that it might actually relieve enough of my frustration with Rust that I would try using it again <3

Very needed and cool
Corollary to the corollary: After taxpayer bailout, raise rates to cover costs associated with new infrastructure.
This has been more than hinted at by just about any reputable media publishing anything about the event.

I seriously don't know why it makes the news now.
The problem is that when you have political allocation of capital, you create a very inefficient economy. Sure, if the goal is to copy someone else that has proven a successful approach you can make good progress with subsidies. But after you drive them out of business, you are stuck with this politically directed R&D agenda that has no one else to copy but is not able to innovate on its own. You quickly lose your way with inefficiencies.

This must be weighed against the fact that subsidized businesses will outcompete less subsidized businesses, and so if you want to bankrupt your foreign competitors you can do that by subsidizing your own domestic firms.

One approach is to not trade or impose targeted tariffs on government subsidies to help balance the scales. That was basically the idea of the 90s era trade agreements, which hasn't worked out so well, as targeted tariffs don't work. You apply a broad, long lasting blanket tariff on all goods coming from the offending country or nothing.

Another approach is to jump in with massive subsidies of your own and create a race to the bottom where every government has to subsidize any industry that some other government is subsidizing.

I'd like to throw restrictions on foreign capital inflows into the mix. A combination of banning capital inflows, some subsidies, and some broad, permanent tariffs against bad actors like China might be the best option to deal with the "spend anything to win" problem. Really we don't know.

What I don't want to see is governments rushing in to subsidize industry in a race to the bottom. That is bad for innovation as well as for democracy.

What the free trade crowd needs to realize that free trade is vulnerable to the subsidize-attack which can destroy your own industries, and right now they have an ideological commitment that is blinding them to this reality.
The interest dropped off right after he submitted the results of the algorithm. So perhaps the algorithm simply wasn't good. Emailing the CEO with a novel algorithm idea and then sending in the results is classic crackpot behavior, not unlike sending your theory of everything to the head of the MIT physics department. I'm surprised anyone responded at all to the initial email.
Wasn't the entire foundation of the company built on a partnership for which literally no tech (owned by Microsoft at least) existed?
That's great. I'd love a guide for the next step. I have a guy in the office I want to collaborate with - what do I do? Does it make sense to have something between this and reading Pro Git?
That doesn't seem to have stopped http://appsaurus.com/
It depends on what somebody prefers.

A. No 'cut and paste' for 2+ years and then a well-executed solution.

or

B.'cut and paste' that can be used now. Cumbersome but gets the job done.

Personally, I'd go with B.
I think we're probably making too much of the word "fan", and that Gruber was just using it to indicate preference (as opposed to devotion).

That said, I'm a fan of Apple because I admire their work. I'm enamored with the substance of their products, and I could care less how ownership affects my image [Edit: more honestly, I try not to care]. (I actually think declaring myself a fan of Apple is a detriment to my image, especially in this forum. C'est la vie.)

not sure how accurate it actually is, just read it awhile back
This article was extremely interesting. I remeber wired reporting on a system which would allow doctors to give a list of symptoms and have the most likely diagnostics listed by probability. Not sure of the name but technology like that has incredible potential. I also remember the article mentioning the reluctance of doctors to use it.

I keep reading comments like this and am wondering if anyone has been to an HMO in the past 5 years. This is part of any GP's office with a full EPIC install. I guess many probably don't use it, unless they are forced to. Just wanted to point out this tech already exists in a commercial product. It's not wonderful, it actually kind of sucks. I also wonder why hackers think software like this is going to have "incredible potential," or even be "good."
I fully agree with you here, I work in your field currently and noticed the wide range of skills that are employed. For example my lab director is a Physicist working in brain imaging research.

All the math I learned in school (I have a BS in math) seemed so small compared to the stuff I see used in the research the folks in my lab are doing. There is a great need of skilled mathematicians and comp sci folks in these bio based fields, as you pointed out. Biologist are smart people but when it comes to comp sci their cs skill sets are not always large enough for their need. That's where p eople like us fill in the blanks.
Congrats! I was really excited to see your site mentioned after reading about it last month on here. It's a great idea, and it's fantastic to see it getting some really solid coverage. Best of luck!

In the beginning, you mention that you use bash as your terminal. You might want to correct that.

Reminds me of Don Hopkins comments on NeWS at http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2006-December/0010...

The NeWS window system was like AJAX, but with:
1) PostScript code instead of JavaScript code
2) PostScript graphics instead of DHTML graphics, and
3) PostScript data instead of XML data.
* is a wildcard for everything in the directory including files and directories.

I can't wrap my head around what exactly this does. How is this related to mapreduce? Can anybody explain?
He's selling to sysadmins and developers many (most?) of whom will have to get management approval to purchase. The name can definitely be a limiting factor to sales.
There are some great people in the NYU CS dept, but it (and I assume Columbia) are simply not in the same league as Stanford and MIT. Neither of the NYC based schools are top 20 much less top 10 engineering programs.

I agree re: bureaucratic inertia. If you throw money at the same people who built these programs you'll end up with a disaster. Throw some to the people who refused to be part of that nonsense (ie: actual industry leaders) and you'll get much farther.
No, Kingston, Jamaica.

I have to ask: Do you think marriage is/has been worth it? The only time I ever considered it was when I was a Christian, and even then my mind rebelled at the thought.
Been there. Nothing like Uzbekistan. And Uzbekistan is nothing like Turkmen. Just because they're in the same (HUGE) part of the world doesn't make them all the same.

> The type of rights that protect people from violence should be ensured to everybody first

If we are scrupulous and careful never to advocate for rights that don't protect people from violence, we will never ensure any other rights, no matter how deserved they are, unless we cast everything in those terms.

Like, for instance, the right to not get blown up by a terrorist. That's how the slippery slope starts.

But I am helping derail the conversation.
Right now your comment seems to be at the bottom of the page.

Don't take that to mean nobody is reading.

I personally feel the same way about youtube writ large. Google has made youtube one of the greatest video libraries ever compiled. Downloading videos is not allowed by the software (No, various add ons and browser extensions are not acceptable.), and on top of that it's disallowed by their TOS.

I can only imagine the tragedy set to occur when youtube inevitably shuts down.

One of the most egregious examples I've seen thus far is on the older Tay Zonday videos where it says the license is creative commons but there is no way to download the video.

"They found the remedy killed up to 90% of MRSA bacteria and believe it is the effect of the recipe rather than one single ingredient."

Believe? Don't you want to like, um, test that? You know, science.

This whole thing stinks of research grant bait.
Weird, I only get shady proxies and the wikipedia page.
If you're going to go through that much trouble, the Colorado School of Mines does a high-speed photography workshop every so often. You are photographing explosives of various types. I would imagine clothes worn during the workshop would be very interesting to airport scanners with a bonus of learning about high-speed photography.
Good advice. I almost kind of expected this sort of answer :)
There is already a pan-continental war happening at large scale in case you haven't noticed; it comprises a mix of information warefare and cyber attacks.

Further conventional wars are to be expected, too: some people speculate that they will be about access to clean water (in the past, borders/owning land areas were more often the motive behind armed conflict). Current tensions
of this kind can be observed e.g. between India and Pakistan, although they have not escalated.

Questions about the chances of a world war should specify the time range to be complete/meaningful.

You sell support and maintenance contracts.

That's how busybox and the kernel get maintained. End user software gets written by the users themselves, business software is written by consultants.

Most of the users are willing to pay not to use closed software. Also the distribution channels aren't anything like app stores. They're usually a repo maintained by the community and you work with them to package your software ex: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports

If you want to push corporate garbage like most iOS apps at people just build web pages.

I knew this was part of the strategy once they started the process to acquire NBC.

Now it's doubly against their best interest to improve broadband adoption:

1) file sharing now impacts their infrastructure spend
2) file sharing impacts media arm's profitability

I don't get why he attached his "comments off" opinions at the end of this piece, but I feel like Gruber's opinion there is just as interesting as the first half the piece. It's been a long standing opinion of his, sure, but he got down and stated it clearly in this post.
Also, donations are presumably less likely to have strings attached.
Nobody is saying Go should rush to implement generics or any other feature.

The issue is more the dismissive attitude towards them.
Maybe you're right, but I certainly think there are some valid cases where this could be useful. I'm not saying use it in every project, or use it as a workaround to a larger architectural issue, but if you have a single page app that does not render templates on the server, showing something like this while you make a few AJAX calls and compile the data returned into your client-side templates isn't the worse thing in the world. Slack and Asana do similar things, and I would hardly say that their engineering teams did a ton wrong. We actually built this because we're customers of both and enjoyed the screens they showed, so we wanted to see if we could make a generic library that others could use to do the same.
That's where we start slipping into the philosophical aspect of the conversation. I don't know that a computer will ever be as good at discerning meaning from our communication as we are - partly because a lot of the meaning is because we say so, not necessarily because of something inherent.

But could they get to 50%? 90%? I hope so, because the load is so huge.
The suggestion that SSH is compromised is pretty sobering. I didn't consider that.
Agreed about the utility of documents. But that's not the issue. The issue is contorting a document to make it into an application. Mobile app devs don't have to deal with this and the benefits are many. Let documents be documents and apps be apps. I'd like to see a webgl based app toolkit that works like a mobile app toolkit and performs as well as a mobile app. I don't think it will happen though because so many devs have now been raised on html, css and js. They like it.
PHPNG is actually the official next version of PHP. If the PHPNG team is dead that means no active development is being done on PHP (period).
I had almost the exact same issue with my 2009 17' MacBookPro and when it finally wouldn't boot up anymore I took it to the closest Apple store near me. They told me they could do an out of warranty fix of the damaged part (whatever it was, something on the logic board) and it would be around $300. I agreed and they sent it in to their warehouse to get fixed, a few days later I get a call telling me that the part that was needed was severely backordered and I could either wait or they would give me a refurbished 2013 15' MacBookPro with comparable specs to my old MBP plus AppleCare and a bunch of other nice things. Needless to say that was the best $300 I ever spent, had they not been able to do anything with it I suspect I would be trying more things like drilling holes in the case ;)
Wait, it's fast because they didn't include incremental compilation?

Why do they always locate in places that have these screwed-up housing markets. There are many, many urban centres in North America with ample university grads pouring out of local institutions, a plethora of amenities, and cheap housing.

'Hackers Release Photo Of Prime Minister And Mistress'

Done.
Not to get too far afield from the original post, or to start a religious debate where we end up calling each other Hitler, but I've got some good stuff for you:

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matthew 5:28)

"If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death." (Leviticus 20:10 NIV)

"As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you." (Leviticus 25:44 ESV)

So, um, not a great book to pull random quotes from as a source.
You aren't using your editor in the sense that most people here are talking about if you don't have to learn anything.
Great article!

You really don't got a test culture unless you're 'allowed' to take time to debug errors that happens inside the test suite and not the product itself. This is the difference between writing tests and really having a TDD-culture.

I mean those issues where the test suites requires maintenance but the actual code base or product is "working".

Everyone has had them. I guess it that's what the article means by 'great pain'.

Recently I've heard a few non-engineers use "continuos integration" as a way of charging clients more as use per buzz word rules.
I really hope the golang community doesn't consider godoc.org to be the beginning and end of their project documentation. It's a fantastic service and probably Good Enough for small projects, but if larger projects don't include prose like Effective Go it's going to really hurt adoption.

It's more that understanding the material is a necessary but not sufficient condition for getting good grades. It's quite possible to understand all the material and still get bad grades.
There is something strange with the example.

$ pypy -mtimeit -s'import math; sin=math.sin' \
'[x*x+sin(x/1e6) for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 156 msec per loop

With no division it is slower (?):

$ pypy -mtimeit -s'import math; sin=math.sin' \
'[x*x+sin(x) for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 188 msec per loop

CPython shows expected behavior:

$ python2.7 -mtimeit -s'import math; sin=math.sin' \
'[x*x+sin(x) for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 231 msec per loop

$ python2.7 -mtimeit -s'import math; sin=math.sin' \
'[x*x+sin(x/1e6) for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 253 msec per loop

CPython is faster for tiny cases:

$ pypy -mtimeit '[x*x for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 126 msec per loop

$ python2.7 -mtimeit '[x*x for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 67.3 msec per loop

$ pypy -mtimeit '[x*x*x for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 123 msec per loop

$ python2.7 -mtimeit '[x*x*x for x in xrange(1000000)]'
10 loops, best of 3: 118 msec per loop
It's a good effort - although I agree with a lot of the folks commenting here, I cannot recommend this to anyone without Git experience over GitX. The good news is, there is plenty of room for an intuitive GUI based Git app, particularly with GitHub integration. It's frustrating working with non-developer types who need access to static assets that need to be versioned. I need to get them an SVN equivalent such as Cornerstone or Versions. Teaching them the command line and Git is an all too time consuming process and I have no choice but to ensure they know at least the basics on smaller projects where non-developers are tightly coupled with things like HTML/images, etc.
yes, but these aspects are 'post-idea'
Most don't have ideas yet, although there is an active effort from the university to match CS students without ideas with academics from non-CS departments (legal, economics,...) that have ideas.

It takes some effort to make startups a viable 'career'-choice.

My theory is that increases in tuition aren't immediately felt by students because we've come to a point where everyone is comfortable getting a student loan. Since you don't start paying on the loan right away the effect of the borrowing isn't immediately felt. This makes students more amenable to a frame of mind of just accepting tuition increases.
That makes sense now that it's been explained, thanks!

We've been facing that question in our HPC lab. We dropped off the top500 for the first time in 5+ years. We just installed a new cluster, but during our scheduled outage of 3 days we were unable to get a good benchmark with linpack. We've had some interesting throttling issues on our new cluster. Once we started figuring it out, we wanted to benchmark it and submit it in time for the november list. We couldn't justify kicking everyone off, but in the event that we had a catastrophic event, we had it set to run a benchmark before coming back online. Nothing happened (thankfully.. and regretably) so we were not able to submit a benchmark for our new 6000 core cluster.
