Manic depressive people have also been observed before to perform more variably between-and-within subject (on a puzzle-game with more than one solution) during their depressed state, while performing more stereotypically during their manic states.

Another variation of the study looked at how manic depressive people who report low sensitivity or intensity to their own feelings would not experience the same patterns in behavioral variability during their manic and depressive swings.
To the extent that anything is "wrong" with OOP, it is encapsulated (!) well by the Reactive Manifesto [1].

The global computing paradigm is outgrowing the domains where OOP is useful. And I'm pretty sure that if you look closely enough, there will be OOP under the hood of a great many systems for a long time to come.

My entry into this category of tools uses a (hidden) Java applet to avoid the need to send any data to a server (and the limits of the native JS regexp functionality). See:

http://regex.powertoy.org

It also has an animate mode, which is most interesting on regexes with heavy backtracking. For example, animations of the famous 'prime-digits-count' regex, succeeding (composite) or failing (prime):

>And this goes beyond just the interface. Sony may have brilliant engineers, but you can tell it's a dictatorship - and The Man, while he may be a good general-purpose businessperson, is pretty dumb in other ways.

After this and the entire GeoHotz fiasco, I actually have the opposite opinion. Sony has some pretty brilliant designers-the UI and device styling is quite nice. Their engineers, on the other hand, seem to keep on making pretty stupid decisions that make actually using the device difficult to use.
Not sure why you didn't click on "Billing & Cost Management" where you can see a complete breakdown (by resource and region) of exactly what you are being charged for.
I like that better - I think I'll start using it. I usually end up staging the stuff I want to commit and reverting the stuff I don't, but that offers better flexibility. Thanks!
Wikipedia faces unique challenges, however, that many web applications do not face. Almost the entirety of the page rendered is user-generated content produced from hand-written wiki markup that must be parsed and rendered, and that uses complex nested templates. MediaWiki is basically a turing-complete applications platform. The wikipedia page for Barack Obama transcludes 199[0] unique templates, with 585 total non-unique invocations, and that's not counting the templates transcluded by those templates. Some of Wikipedia's templates are so complex that they had to be rewritten in Lua.

I don't think Wikipedia is really a typical case. Most websites probably don't have the CPU burden Wikipedia faces.

It may take a few years but I look forward to reading about him getting a prison sentence at some point.

He's obviously broken criminal, not just civil laws, they are just harder to prove. One would be identity theft by calling credit card companies as other people.
Yeah, I was confused because _grrr's post made it sound like that photo was unexpected.

Seconded. It's faster than my own ISP's DNS. (Damn you, Speakeasy! shakes fist) If you want to test for yourself, ping 208.67.222.222 (one of OpenDNS' anycast DNS IPs). If it's faster than your ISP's, you should try switching.
Did WIPO[1]/UDRP[2] play a role in this?

If I buy a licensed copy of your software, how many years do I have to wait before I can make copies of it and distribute it freely to others?

10 years?

50 years?

100 years?
Uh, what. The outrage, at least from where I'm sitting, is that these takedowns, if ICE's total cost is distributed accordingly, cost the American taxpayers millions of dollars. For something that as the author has pointed out, is largely futile.
I had heard about this before, and I think it is really great - for small amounts. For backing up my laptop hard drive (~250 GB) and everything I normally would keep backed up (another... 1 TB?) or even some fraction thereof, this would get SUPER expensive. :(

What I really need backed up:
- Documents (~5GB)
- Photos (~20GB)

What I would _like_ backed up includes everything to do a full drive recovery, but beyond that, music [40 GB] and other harder-to-replace things.

If I can't backup all my backups, that's fine, but I think under even the bare-bones situation, rsync would be outside my budget :)
With a pretty lavish college student lifestyle you can live on $20K a year. If you're pulling down $100K+ (reasonable for an engineer or an IB, I imagine) that's at least 2 years of off time you buy with each year you work. Not that crazy, if you can control your spending :)
Hubski is based off of news.arc and the arc server doesn't make clean URLs easy, at least not that I've seen yet.
So let me get this straight. You think it is justice for me to be unemployed because my employer can’t afford to pay me $180k/year to write internal software because they will magically use technology to do without me? More likely they would go without, because if there was magic to replace me they’d already be doing it.
For some reason the 1st Lyra example is disturbingly loud at 1 second for me on my mobile phone speaker. Speex doesn't have that problem for example.
So when using a drag-and-drop widget you're going to be waiting for server responses at every step of the way?

> "NoScript Security Suite", which more accurately conveys its purpose.

No, that just makes the name more confusing!
"Rich Germans" is relative here. This isn't targeting billionaires. 1000EUR (1200USD) for two round-trip flights isn't even THAT much more than what they'd normally cost anyway.

I don't think flying to the US and giving a 'donation to a hospital foundation' would be in the same price range.
How does something like this work if someone were holding shares before? Would they expect to see a 3x on the price?
That's awesome! I wonder if a centrifugal fan would be better than the axial fans though. Centrifugal fans, IIRC, can handle resistance better than axial fans. They're better for forcing air through a filter. They're probably louder though, so it's a tradeoff. If I was building something like this and I owned a house, I might build a centrifugal fan, like a Fantech FR100 or something, into the attic suspended by elastic like I did for my old grow room. You could get great airflow with relatively little noise.
It's possible to have all kinds of differences while also having a standard framework or paradigm. One just hasn't gelled yet.

The first cars didn't all agree on even the most basic controls like steering, braking, accellerating. Ony after some time did the currently universal framework establish.

The same thing could happen to car computer interfaces. Some sort of paradigm evolves for some common elements that all car consoles have, and that framework of recognizable bits is good enough.

The cars would all still be different as they all are now. I can easily switch from my manual transmission 4wd 4runner to my gf's prius, and I only joke about being baffled by the pushbutton ignition, missing clutch pedal, and the ridiculous shift lever on the dash for comic effect.

The important paradigms of operating different vehicles are either the same or are recognizable by some same cues, even though I have two shifting levers and 3 pedals and they all do direct physical things, and she only has 2 pedals and 1 lever and they're all just fancy light switches, and some cars have cruise control and backup cameras and rear wipers and other cars don't even have those things in any form let along a different form.

On the other hand, she can't drive my 4runner at all. So, maybe that's a point against my own argument. That there are already differences even in the basic controls that make it difficult or impossible for someone used to one vehicle to operate some others, long before any car computers came along, and so, who cares if the car computers are standardized or not?
Hmm, that doesn't give you much control. I suggest you go straight to the source and use FB's Power Editor. You get control over everything. Facebook has one of the most comprehensive targeting tool in the world. As a startup, you'll want to think of the way you advertise as a customer discovery process.

Know your target audience and target these people as specific as you can. Then set the maximum price you'll pay to get these people's attention. Fine tuning can come later.
Does this handle something like Distil [0]? Or is that type of scraping not the focus of this product?

I have no affiliation with the service, but I assume that:

1. They're small

2. They're new

3. Their team has more experience developing for Apple devices, thus it was quicker to release for those devices first before tackling Windows, Android, and/or Linux.

What they could do in the meantime is create a web-based tool to generate configurations for OpenVPN and/or Wireguard, like Mullvad does.
Look into and get a split-unit ac. You can run the pipes quite a long distance, more than the advertising material and stock images would have you think! If power is cheap, you’ll regret not doing ten years ago.

This article isn't really a comparison between the Nook, Galaxy Tab and the iPad, it's more a comparison of a specific ebook application on each of those platforms. It's not comprehensive (Aldiko for Android isn't mentioned for example).

If this were a hardware review like the title says, it would discuss which devices are more suited to reading ebooks: is the Galaxy Tab's smaller size better? Is the Nook's screen more comfortable to read on? Is the iPad too heavy? etc.
That's a fair list. I'd argue that you can get scale-up by augmenting your colo servers with on-demand VPS servers and still save money on the common case (we did this not too long ago when we got an unusual traffic spike). If the traffic is consistent, just add another colo sever.

The "replace hardware on vacation" argument is the most compelling so far.

Better hardware and better physical security I don't necessarily buy; security is the same at a colo, and good hardware is pretty cheap these days.
What a terrible article.

From the article:

> "The bill has the vehement support of Senator Jay Rockefeller, who last year asked during a congressional hearing, “Would it had been better if we’d have never invented the Internet?” while fearmongering about cyber-terrorists preparing attacks."

They leave out the fact that after that he finishes his sentence and says "and that's a stupid thing to say."
It was interesting to me because it didn't occur to me that there's a "domain parking page look" that would still look like a domain parking page even with real content.

My criticism of the Open Source community has been downvoted into oblivion. I think this is rather sad. I'm not against open source, in fact I regularly contribute to many projects. But I also think one should not be blind to the outside world.
Thanks for running it down. I was mainly referring to the value of the commentary. Infowars ain't exactly the Economist.
All my company's servers are dedicated rental, we have a deal with a provider that effectively gives us colo costs without paying the upfront server costs.

But for my personal use, there a few reasons I like VPS options:

- Flexibility: rarely does a month go by where I don't shut down at least one server and add at least one server, plus various resizes

- Locations: my five current VPS servers are split over three data centres in two continents, without any of the hassle of making three seperate arrangements for colocation

- Price: High-end VPSs offer worse value for money than the cheaper options, and for server testing/developement it's handy to be able to pay ~$20/month for a low-end option

- Control Panels: It's surprisingly nice to be able to re-install the OS in a couple of minutes with a single click, to have a simple web GUI to control backups (and for that matter, the option to automatically backup the entire server regularly), it's not something I'd need for most servers, but for testing stuff out where I'm regularly re-installing it is very nice (I've got my server deployment down to a 600line bash script, so any time I want to try something new I re-install the OS, run my script, and in 5 minutes I've got my ideal server ready to go)
The problem with silent failures is that they are a bad default. Sometimes, the best default is providing no default at all: just throw an exception that must be handled by the programmer. If you want to recover the silently failing behavior, you can always provide a wrapper function that catches the exception and handles it by doing nothing at all. (Admittedly, this is not so easy in nonfunctional languages like JavaScript that make it painful to program with combinators.)
I totally agree. This the next logical step.
So what you're saying is all I have to do is carry heart tablets and then I can pass nitroglycerine through security? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's more complicated than that. But I can't help but feel that if someone really wanted explosives to get onto a plane then they wouldn't try walking it through passenger security. Or maybe they'd just say the magic words that indicate a false positive and walk straight through.
Hindu guy here. I'm sure I'll be buried but the last time I opted out of a millimeter wave scan, I was also tested for explosives. I did set it off multiple times and was taken to the back room for a private screening. I was held in there, questioned for ten minutes, then I was on my way. I have not opted out since.
I don't know for a fact that Alexander is a good person. I just assume he is because I assume people are good in general, and, pragmatically, that assumption leads to more fruitful debates.

As I noted elsewhere, gold visor make you really see everything blue. I think few people would tolerate it.
Yes, I agree. To be clear, I do prefer using the term "concentration camps" to refer to what the US did to the Japanese, but I understand that others object to that and find their objections fairly reasonable.
Some of those enablers are posting in this very thread. Instead of feeling shocked and even somewhat embarrassed at the state of their nation, they denigrate the author's ordeal - minimizing his trauma, denying his mental recall, and ultimately blaming him for causing a TSA test to issue a false positive... all while ignoring the common courtesy that should have been afforded to the accused. Give the guy a drink of water. Treat him with respect. Get him on another flight. Notify him that you searched his apartment.

It's all sad and disgusting.

Good read, new site does indeed look great.

Digging the "we love developers" image. May have to steal it. :)
I loved the movie but I'll take a shot. Some possible reasons:

1. A story about a sinking ship could be a rather bleak, depressing watch.
2. So, the maiden voyage of a ship turned out bad because it hit an iceberg. There was no war element, nothing. Have ships sunk due to icebergs before? Sure.
3. A movie about Titanic could be a better candidate for a documentary, not a hollywood drama.

I could pass.

It was James Cameron's execution (including the Jack/Rose love angle, the human emotion, the SFX) that made the movie into the gigantic hit it turned out to become. The idea was alright, at best.
Many humans don't understand philosophy is different than being incapable of it -- it's a learned skill. Anyone without brain damage is surely capable.

I admire this guy. I have been following his blog since the very beginning. He has come a long way. Having quit his job, works from home, quit smoking, shred ~25 pounds, completed multiple mini-marathons, published books, moving to California from Guam with family (6 kids) and he just recently removed all ads on his most popular blogs which easily gets him 1+ million page views per month. He was charging ~2k per month for a single 125x125 ad. Basically easy money.

I also find his writing repetitive, but I realized that I have grown as a person too over the last ~3 years that I was reading his blog, what seemed inspirational then seems repetitive now, because I have grown out of those concepts and most of it doesn't apply to me anymore. Maybe he was able to sustain his willpower because he is repetitive?
A little bit like a Bond villain.

More like a mini Tony Stark, which is the bit part he plays (as himself) in Iron Man 2. I think Bezos would make an excellent Bond villain. Ballmer too. Craig Venter has the gravitas. Scarily, I think he has Bond-villain level technology too.
I'm not sure I can make it justice in a few words :-) But shortly:

The core has been developed from the ground up in C++ over the last 3 1/2 years. Realm’s efficiency comes from leveraging bit-packing, caching, vectorization, query algorithm innovations and a zero-copy architecture to realize gains in memory usage and speed. Data is stored in a single memory mapped file. It uses copy-on-write MVCC (Multi-Version-Concurrency-Control) allowing very efficient fully ACID serializable transactions.

The core is exceptionally fast, which we can leverage to make easy to use API's in the different languages (currently Java, ObjC, Swift and more to follow) and still maintain a speed and functionality advantage.

> I'm not sure that's a good way of putting it. You can have databases that offer both consistency and availability, but they need to fit on a single machine (no partition tolerance).

Garbage collection requires (a delay that is indistinguishable from) partition tolerance. It's pretty illusory on single machines as well. Especially if they're multi-core.

So I've been hearing this "being the most decentralized option" about Cardano in less reputable sources (aka YouTube comments) than HN. Can you expand on that? From what I'm seeing, Cardano has 1 912 pools[0] that can produce blocks, which is less than 11 586 on Ethereum[1] and much less than 100 000 validators on Ethereum 2.0[2]. Sure, many validators are controlled by same people, but there's a much easier barrier to entry for new validators.

> and frankly, most usb devices are pretty boring & isolated. yes you can hurt a usb flash drive if you do the wrong things to it, you can install an autorun.inf nasty malware. yes you can play gross sounds or listen on a usb sound card. but few devices are going to do anything to the system. mostly it's a bunch of mice & keyboards.

With Thunderbolt/USB4, a USB device is not only a USB device; it's also a PCIe device. Upgrading its firmware (USB is commonly used for firmware update, but it could also be done through exploits on non-firmare-update endpoints) means the attacker now has control of not only a USB device, but also a PCIe device.

Our incentive is not (as you imply) a selfish desire to enrich ourselves though artificial scarcity, but rather the knowledge that a weak team member hurts everyone and is hard to get rid of. At my firm we have the explicit goal of hiring people who are better than half the developers at similar level. A little math will show you that if you do not do this, your average talent level goes down over time.
