Really interesting.

An investment analogy comes immediately to mind: cutting on a bad investment instead of falling for the sunk cost fallacy.

If it's just not going anywhere, you might be better off just moving on.

Sometimes I think "dreams" of this nature are cases where people are more in love with the idea of being something than with the actual act of doing it. That's a red flag. If you love the idea of being -- say -- a filmmaker, but you don't love the actual work of filmmaking enough to make it happen, then you might not really want to be a filmmaker. You might just like something about what it signifies to you. Maybe you can carve just that thing out and leave the rest and move on.

This is almost an argument. But when a given nation's citizens attack the sovereignty of another nation, and their own government declines to curtail such behavior, this qualifies as an implicit endorsement. That's why people call it "cyber-warfare"; what we observe here is a border skirmish with less than the usual quantity of gunfire. As I said earlier, I look forward to seeing who wins.

That will increase the chances of cross-region failures though.
Thanks for the link...looks like exactly what I'm looking for!
Would be nice to have state level data too, this would help regions that dont have any hot cities.
What side effects were introduced "under the table"? talloc introduces entirely new functions, it doesn't override standard malloc/free. All of the new behaviors are rather explicit.

As for large project with collaborators: if the project doesn't already have coding standards or doesn't have a code review process for new members then they're already headed down a bad path. And anyone blindly introducing talloc into an existing project without first getting agreement from other participants and taking steps to smooth integration is irresponsible.

The issues you give aren't reasons to dismiss talloc. Bugs, implementation flaws, design limitations are some valid reasons. By your argument, anything layered on top of the C standard library should be avoided.
The entire paper is long, and I grumbled at that length. Then I began reading it and couldn't stop. Now it's available in book form with the original material expanded, plus a new section at the end. This book I ordered and read quickly. This new material happens to be laying out some interesting math ideas of the kind that could be used in teaching. Fascinating. If there were a whole book of interesting ideas like that I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

EDIT: I should make clear that the second part of the book is not coursework, but a brief taste of some ideas that capture the imagination. A counterpoint to the Lament portion, if you will.
Anyone else get faster in there area? Want to make sure this isn't some bs claim.
I hope that once it's sealed they recover the blowout preventer and figure out why it failed.
I'm not sure I agree. You may describe an underwater setting by saying "there is a clump of seaweed floating 3 meters above , 10 meters in front of, and 2 meters to the left of your current location, and a shark hiding about 20 meters behind the clump of seaweed", but it's much more efficient for you to send me a JPEG image of it, or better yet, a 3d image of it. I think this is how most scientists believe that dolphins communicate.

This is sort of like the difference between playing a text game like Zork or a 3D MMO like World of Warcraft. English only descriptions leave the details up to your imagination. 3d graphic imagery communicates the actual picture.
I totally disagree. Age means less and less with each passing day. Zuckerberg's bad press comes from the fact that he has a huge and highly-vocal userbase and he implements features that they don't like, or at least, in a way that they don't approve of even if the features themselves rock. That, and he's a bit too eager to capitalize on his successful platform, willing to take risks with user privacy and data "pushing the boundaries" so to speak in order to find out what users are willing to put up with and what they're not.

When it seems like almost everyone you know has a facebook account, there are bound to be complaints. It has nothing to do with age, it has everything to do with centralized power.
Awesome - big congrats to SpaceX and the team there!!
Agreed. The community is probably biased towards people who are (1) a little bit smarter than average, and so relatively happy to go away and learn things by themselves, and (2) generally more interested in maths, technology and science, which lends itself a little bit more to just "working through the problem sheet" as opposed to, say, the arts and humanities.
The point of "The entire history of you" was not to be wary of people who lie or cheat. It was to show how different people might react to the power of this kind of technology. Some people would use it benignly, some people would choose to go without it, some people would choose to use it to live in their past while shutting out the present, others, I.e. the cheated on man would choose to use it to blackmail, torture and destroy others around them. It's not a story about the perils of cheating on a partner, but falling under the influence of powerful technology either directly or indirectly via those around you.
I tried making a simple dynamic page and failed repeatedly by attempting to put seemingly innocuous javascript in { } blocks. A simple case such as { platforms.join(' ') } works fine as where { technologies.map(function(t) {return t}).join('|') } does not. Until this is either fixed or (all limitations and work-arounds) documented, I consider this unusable for any real project.
> any quietly upvoted defense of child labor sounds like "the slaves had it better than in _x_" or "women were spared _y_" jobs to me when it comes to defending poor social policy. Grown-ass white men getting paid to develop digital toys justifying to themselves why the situation for 9 year old sweatshop workers is good enough. JFC.

I'm not defending this situation at all. It is unforgivable that factory owners sock away millions of dollars while literally paying their employees pennies. This is not okay. Unfortunately, this is what profit making entities do when they don't have regulations forcing them to do otherwise, hence my argument that any serious improvement in working conditions will require legislation and enforcement from the government.

As for being a "grown-ass white man getting paid to develop digital toys", well let's just say that my dad grew up in an impoverished fishing village in southern Bangladesh and somehow made it to America and raised me a solidly working class family in NY. I'm currently in school thanks to need based financial aid that covers my expenses.

So no, my perspective doesn't come from a background of privilege trying to justify oppression. Things are what they are and I don't think being angry about it solves anything.
It won't work.

First, HipHop doesn't support create_function, which is used in the example.

Second, feature mismatch between Ruby and PHP will make efficient compilation quite hard and most likely be far from optimal. The languages doesn't seem to be very easily optimizable either.

HipHop isn't a silver bullet either: sometimes it seems to be faster than cached PHP bytecode, but not always.

Didn't ABP+ developers plan to address this? How is that effort going?

UPDATE: Here is the bug to track: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988266
Is this really a surprise to anyone? Oracle have been pretty clear that they're only going for high-end infrastructure deployments, so they're probably glad that OpenOffice has been taken off their hands. They're likely waiting for someone to take MySQL off them in a convincing way as well to get the EU off their back.

Oracle are only interested in turn-key hardware-OS-DB-middleware stacks, and you better believe they don't give a flying toss about anything Sun owned that doesn't fit in that vertical. It wouldn't surprise me if they end up refusing to support anything that isn't mounted in an Sun/Oracle 19" rack (to be honest, that might not be a bad thing - Sun/Oracle racks are pretty nice).

To be completely clear: Oracle really, genuinely, absolutely, does not care about anything which doesn't fit into their model. I've been on the receiving end of a number of Oracle support (re)negotiations, and it never works out well for anyone that doesn't have a red O on their business card. Buy Oracle shares if you have the cash, but stay the hell away from their products if at all possible.
I don't know that Steve Jobs is creative as much as he is an unrelenting perfectionist. He doesn't design things, Apple's recent success comes mostly from his ability to say "No, that's not good enough. Try again."

Maybe his confidence to do that comes from having experienced some sort of revelations or profound experiences on LSD that make "good, but not good enough" products seem even more mundane and pedestrian to him.

If he uses latest Xcode and KNOWS how to use Xcode 3.2 or Xcode 4, he will find it.
(Remove the frameworks with the wrong path. Add the necessary frameworks to Project. Set the base configuration to latest iOS. Change the settings for device/simulator and debug/release correctly if needed. I had to change the configurations of all the projects. It's pretty annoying, because there are more than a hundred projects.)

Isn't it funny no one told this problem yet?
Agree with everything you said. But besides that, Facebook is so huge right now that you are basically forced to 'represent' on there as well.

Someone in the comments on the first Ars Technica article wrote that Facebook took down the page for one of their websites (a wiki) and they lost loads of visitors because of that, never recovered, closed it down.

And yes, it is 'bad' and given those events 'not smart' to rely on Facebook for bringing in your visitors. But that's where they are at these days. And Facebook just 'randomly' killing pages, accounts, content is just messed up.

My point is basically: you can't really avoid/ignore Facebook if you want to get your name out there. (Sure, this might not apply to everyone but you get it.)
Must be a funny time to be Google. On the one hand, within the valley groupthink they are practically written off - a has-been failing at innovation and in great danger from Facebook. On the other hand, governments are out to attack them as a monopoly.

Which hand is correct?
Anyone played w/ a Propeller?
Is there really though? I think not, personally, they seem like synonyms in practice as far as modern day "offence" and "shock" goes. See: any Twitter lynch mob.
It should be noted that the tracker did not say "property of the police" and if even it had, there's no way to know if it was the police (since cops don't tell people they're being investigated and someone else could put a stamp on their own tracker. And it's one police unit that has placed the tracker, dispatch or whoever you might call, won't know which unit placed the item or whether a unit did).

From article: "'What if it’s not the police’s tracker device?' asked Justice Geoffrey Slaughter. 'What if instead it belongs to the jilted girlfriend or the nosy neighbor? Is it also theft if he removes that device from his vehicle?'"
Then don't do business with them? Not enforcing basic human rights is not a good look.
Rivian pretty much is half Amazon, preorders from yourself dont count for much.
It would need a compressed air brake system for the trailer, wouldn't it?
I just bough a £20 Switch controller that had a card in it telling me to email them for a £20 gift certificate if I left them a positive review. Obviously this works; it’s the best rated off-brand controller.
It reminds me of the Vector.
With all due respect to Chihuahuas, standard Poodles do pretty good "in the wild" and as work dogs and have a long history that doesn't involve being treated as a fashion accessory.

Also, are humans exempted from a "Darwinist world"?
I think if you can crack the modelling and simulation of asynchronous clock domains then I suspect you will have something that the other HLS solutions don't have at the moment that would be an incredibly useful feature. Design with async clocks is difficult and I have seen loads of bugs with these interfaces (including bugs found in the field for chips that were release many years previously).
"By applying intuition, we propose that the observed rotation curve profile in the dark matter region is of the form v
φ = αr exp(−k1r) + β[1 − exp(−k2r)]."

I'm no physicist, but I don't think papers are supposed to "apply intuition" to come up with stuff like that.
Training? No, of course not. It's still a laptop GPU/SoC/"Neural Engine"/whatever. Especially when the alternative is free GPU via Google Colab etc, there is no competition.
Without taking an opinion on whether that "sense of ownership" is right or wrong, I would say that the response to gentrification is another example of the phenomena you are describing.
> I do not mean this as a judgement on those who do work on systems that can physically harm people

In industrial non software settings this is not as rare as you'd think, if you research the tower crane, truck crane and rigging industry. Lots of things can kill people. The important part is that we need the appropriate 'belt and suspenders' safety checks and engineering practices to prevent them from doing so.

randomly chosen industrial example:

Which book are you reading, out of curiosity? I recently bought Harmonic Experience, the physical book, and thought it was funny that it is even offered in the Kindle format.

(By the way, it's not at all an introductory or comprehensive music theory book. It's about the history of harmony, temperament systems, and psychoacoustics.)

It is, except taxis don't want to do things like rate their drivers.

"or is it due to the fact that they’re exempt from taxi regulations?"

Because of this Lyft and Uber have had to proactively approach the problem of dealing with safety and the like by creating an internal review system for the drivers. This is one of the major innovations in the system.

The other major innovation is the one-to-one-ness of the driver-passenger pairing. Before, taxis would be allowed to pick up a passenger on the way to their dispatch and effectively cancel the ride, (without communicating it to the passenger) which would then result in passengers calling more than one taxi to ensure the arrival of at least one, which would make taxis even less inclined to try to get a dispatch... Death spiral.

I don't know if flywheel requires taxis to be rated or locked in, if those conditions are the case, then it will be a fairly effective alternative competing largely on price.
Especially getting lost in a cell dead zone.

Its not exactly a web app but it could be made that way with WebRTC.
Unless FB is preparing an incredibly ironic antitrust/market competition case against Apple, I'm not sure what they'd have standing on.

Note that SPOT coverage is not worldwide, and it won't work in some parts of the world, both ocean and land:

http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=108

It is quite good though, and would have worked for the mysterious Malaysia disappearance as well as the recent one. I'm sure other systems exist with better coverage and higher prices.
This is nice. But the shortcut you've given 'Cmd/Ctrl + O' should be 'Cmd + Ctrl + O'
Is that same as EPIRB run on Cospas-Sarsat programme?

The coverage looks quite similar http://www.marsat.ru/coverage%20maps/GAN_coverage_I3.gif
Friends also think it's a bit bizarre, but it works for me too and I'm used to it. Definitely feel more mentally alert - all the time, and don't get the after lunch tiredness anymore.
Looks like we need version control for bills.
Nokia has a lot of hardware-tricks up their sleeves. One thing they could do to Android is to make the models stop being so similar to each other. I think, for an example, that an E72 running Android could go a long way in luring away BlackBerry users who are reluctant to give up a HW keyboard. There's currently only one Android device in that space (Desire Z), and it's pretty expensive.
Were you actively searching for it, or did you discover it by accident?
It's not always clear that faster machines really produce net productivity gains, unless the employee's time is already saturated with work. The net gains may manifest themselves into lower working hours, but the company can't just then start paying employees for 7.5 hours instead of 8 (although it can let go of 5% of the workforce to the same effect).
Didn't work for me. Then I remembered to tell noscript to enable js. Does anyone still need convincing that they should be using noscript?
This one-act play is significantly more entertaining than either of the Ocean's Eleven sequels.
> Most of the major foundries have their own font licensing system these days (or it's a work-in-progress).

Perhaps, but are any of them commercially reasonable yet? Pretty much all of the ones I've seen require either ongoing payments and/or third party hosting, or an up-front fee that scales with the (anticipated?) number of page views. As far as I can see, no-one else providing a related product/service gets these kinds of terms: would you pay a monthly fee for a piece of clip art, or a higher licensing fee based on how many times you wanted to print your annual report on paper?
Yes, they do (Cloud Connect), but they have to be in the same data center. I've just gone through some sales / tech meetings with a Rackspace rep about the setups and while Cloud Connect is definitely cool, it is not well documented at this point and I couldn't get all the info I needed. I'm sure we'll all hear more about it throughout the year.

I very much enjoy this form of mathematics trivia and similarly interesting toy maths problems. They're often posted at http://www.futilitycloset.com - not just interesting numbers, but interesting geometric proofs and so on.
How defensible is Groupon's position? I buy wine online, and I'm happy to sign-up for multiple email wine offers. My Dad would sign-up for multiple Groupons if he observed any evidence of value from copycat competitors. People here have compared Groupon to Facebook, but I don't think the network effects are nearly as strong for Groupon. I don't doubt the first mover advantage, but I don't think it's as strong as some would claim. We should also note that Facebook was not the first social networking site out there.

Edit: With this last sentence, I made a poor attempt to imply that, even with incredibly strong network effects, Friendster and MySpace were displaced even after many thought they had attained critical mass.
I'd say the traces on Facebook/Myspace/Twitter would beg to differ, but legally speaking you're right.
Don't ask to be emailed, and you won't get emailed.
Aha! I also do "var self = this;" but feel really bad about it, like I'm missing something obvious about the language. I guess I'm not.

For reference, you can comfortably detect, measure and map ground produced gamma radiation from natural elements from a distance of 50 - 80 metres in the air above.

There's also a respectable number of cosmic ray events in the atmosphere all the way down to ground level leading to high energy gamma counts as a matter of course.

Radioactive Iodine and Ceasium particles (in small numbers admittedly) made their way across the Pacific and became gamma emitters caught up in the air scrubbers of the University of Washington in Seattle.
This site partially motivated me to find a better job closer to CS/dev stuff from Physics, and I couldn't be happier (although I'm doing dev stuff for Physics :)

Thanks HN.
(a) It is not more likely that a developer who can't hash passwords correctly is going to host SRP Javascript securely, not least because you can't host SRP Javascript securely --- but even if you could, doing so would be harder than hashing passwords.

(b) The failure mode for badly hashed passwords is better than the failure mode for an insecure login form.

(c) Most developers already know how to set up an HTTPS login form; most popular apps already host secure login forms (how many do you think hash passwords securely? 10%?). This is a step backwards.
Manufacturing is not necessarily low skilled. Look to Germany for example, which is a heavy manufacture that uses very advanced factories, some even completely automated.

I have no problem having China make goods for us. Manufacturing is usually a dirty process and the jobs can be relatively low paying.

I don't believe it will be a benefit. Current monetary policy is to keep inflation positive and low, while addressing economic shocks that make money velocity low by increasing the supply.

A low positive inflation effectively makes all prices that are denominated in a fixed amount of the currency slowly lower. This helps the economy - ie, people and companies acting in the economy - deal with changes more easily, since their contracted prices are going down. It also avoids the problem with deflation: Keeping money to spend in the future makes more sense to an individual, thus money velocity goes down, thus less things happen (and all actors earn less.)

That's also why increasing the money supply for crises is good: It allows the same activity to go on, even if each unit of currency moves less. People can get paid the same even if everybody save up money. If there's a fixed amount of currency, they can't, since the currency that would be used to pay them is now bound up in their savings.
I can only assume your external disk is encrypted. Does that work fine with booting in every machine you tried?
I agree. The reason I suggest it is to draw their communities attention to it, in the hopes their admins might be more willing to email you individually with a non boiler-plate answer or be more helpful to you.
The technical details may differ between if my data is stored on an SSD I'm accessing locally that I booted from, vs if my data is stored in the cloud and I'm accessing it via a web browser, but at the end of the day, I have access to my files. The technical differences have many practical ramifications (eg disk speed), but they are sufficiently practically equivalent for many different use cases. We see this with Chromebooks, where they will never be a full replacement for every windows machine. There is a large reason they've gained marketshare, however.
Because it's not a normal situation.

edit: plus, the other pilot was knocking on the door and asking him to open it. So... there was an audience. He also certainly knew the black box would record those moments.

But I give up, this is pointless.
