As I understand it, you don't need to worry about backwards compatibility. You submit these pseudo-XML views along with your app when you publish it but what they do from there on out is up to them - they could "recompile" them to newer versions, they could compile them to some binary representation, whatever. But anyway, it's not your problem. Your responsibility is getting the app to the app store, their problem is getting the app from the app store to the devices, in whatever format they see fit. Despite the technological similarities, this isn't publishing to the web where you have to handle everything by yourself.

glib[1] is a library for C which provides things like portable file I/O (in Common Lisp); error reporting (in CL); hook functions (part of CL); a reader (in CL); a lists, sequences, strings & hash tables (in CL) and so forth. Common Lisp mostly has a fuller implementation of all of these.

It also has some things CL doesn't provide as part of the language: threading primitives; URL-handling; advanced calendrical calculations; basic crypto and so forth.

It is kinda funny you ask this question the same day I read this article http://zenhabits.net/suck/ on how to learn while sucking at what you are trying to learn :)

It resonated with me because I have had a hard time learning to live with being bad while learning new stuff.
I honestly feel like the risk of non-TSA people breaking into my luggage and stealing stuff is lower than the TSA stealing stuff while they go through my luggage (as has been proven many times that they do this).

So it seems the real threat I need to protect my luggage and belongings against is the TSA, yet the law is mandating that if I travel with luggage, they need to be able to open it.

Would love to see more done to combat that.

This is an unsustainable workload. It's not possible to work productively at this level for anything but the short term. Honestly, for how many hours of the day are you actually productive? Could you have worked more efficently and left after 8 hours instead of 10 or 12? As a cheeky example, if you've got time to read HN at work, could you cut that and similar time wasting activities out completely so that "work time" is limited to just work and get out of the door once the real work is done?

WRT finding time to exercise, I go to the gym for an hour over lunch: 10 mins running, 30 mins doing weights and using various machines and another 10 mins running to wind down, then shower and back to work for the afternoon. Other days I go to the climbing wall and have an hour on the bouldering wall. Then back to the desk.

I also usually cycle to work. The physical exercise makes me feel overall much better both physically and mentally. I can really tell the difference if I don't do anything for a few days. Physical exercise definitely reduces my stress.

As for people not spotting the value of something, that's ok - the market sorts it out. Not many people would have thought that the most urgent thing African farmers needed was mobile phones. But there was profit in it, so some entrepreneurs did it, and it all works out.
What's wrong with it is simple: you can't define it.

Define "being considerate". Go ahead, try it. You'd have to list every person's feelings towards every word uttered next to every other possible word.

How about, we all learn not to be offended by words? That at least is scalable, consistent, and defined.

Here is an idea: Tell me if this is stupid:

Assume you have a bunch of HUDs/AACs/Glasses/Whatever that are using this tracking tech. Assume that they are ONLY looking at the real world, not some online data/webpage etc...

There is a camera that either is fwd looking or also 360 looking.

Use the tech to eye track exactly everything that MANY people are looking at to train an AI as to what items in the real-world are important.

i.e. "the ground exists and we know its there, thus its priority in information is low" however "these signs that are being looked at have a higher context priority, and require understanding"

By doing this on a fair scale... you could train AI to use the information of "whats visually important to human navigation" to train them to navigate. This augments what other ML/AI stuff has already been going on...

I do not know if this is basically how self driving cars were developed -- but now that you have a seed of this tracking tech in open source -- it could blossom.
I used netstrings in Firestr's (https://github.com/mempko/firestr/blob/master/src/util/menco...) protocol. I picked them precisely because it is safer to parse.

It's not true of many other cities. There are only about three to five others in the USA with the unique separation of city and county government that St. Louis has.

In case you don't understand, the city is not part of any county but has both a chief of police and a sheriff. There are personnel that handle duties that cities don't typically have but do exist for county governments. The county is not part of the city and has no relationship with them whatsoever (this has changed slightly over the last decade or so but essentially still true).

When you figure out what it is, you may find you don't have the right data because you weren't asking the right questions, but you sure have the information security liability that goes with it whether or not there is any upside.

There are lots of ways to structure a database that will make whatever information you collected useless or worse than useless for your intended purpose once you figure out what you need to know.

I am inclined to agree with the article. If you aren't actively using it currently, why keep it?
> All signals with content entirely below the Nyquist frequency (half the sampling rate) are captured perfectly and completely by sampling.

Not even close to the truth. It captures the presence of the signal, but only through blind luck does it capture the correct amplitude of the signal. Why? The phase angle of the signal versus the phase angle of the sampler actually matter as you approach the Nyquist frequency.

Why is this? You have a sine wave. You sample it once at the top, and once at the bottom, which is just in line with Nyquist. Perfect. This is because your sampling phase angle and your signal phase angle are aligned so that you get accurate amplitude. But what if you then shift the relative phase angles by 90 degrees? Suddenly your signal is gone completely! Because you happen to be sampling when the sine wave is crossing zero. This is the inaccurate amplitude I talked about earlier. The range of amplitudes is between 0 and the real amplitude.

But if you 2x oversample instead of using the Nyquist frequency, what's the worst-case scenario? You sample at 45, 135, 215 and 305 degrees and don't quite capture the full amplitude of the signal. But at this point you're off by at most 30% or so. And of course it might be spot on, but the max error is 30%.

Now what happens when you 4x oversample? The max possible error goes down again.

People who suggest that 192kHz audio is worse than 44.1kHz or 48kHz need further education in actual signal processing. Also using equipment that was designed to properly low-pass the 192kHz DAC output properly (you don't really need to do this with 44.1!) would eliminate the theoretical problems that are outlined in the article.

Private customer data often includes a liability, but not for the reasons that OP states. The liability is that companies have an ongoing obligation to their customers to protect their private data. However, a lot of data does not have this liability. If it gets published to the world, it wouldn't matter.

This article portrays a common misunderstanding of the accounting terms liability and asset. Just because something has a cost to maintain, it does not make it a liability.

Code is an asset. Data is an asset. Businesses do not value assets at their cost, as the article represents, but in their future economic value.

Asset:

"Things that are resources owned by a company and which have future economic value that can be measured and can be expressed in dollars. Examples include cash, investments, accounts receivable, inventory, supplies, land, buildings, equipment, and vehicles."

Liability:

"Obligations of a company or organization. Amounts owed to lenders and suppliers. Liabilities often have the word "payable" in the account title. Liabilities also include amounts received in advance for a future sale or for a future service to be performed."

> 2. The vast majority of people in human history have been systematically excluded from access to both the knowledge and the material resources needed to carry out this project. If you had the knowledge, you could always build a hut like this — but the neighbors, who are organized into an effective violent force with a hierarchy of coercion, would be likely to raid you and take it away, even though most of them are low in the hierarchy and are therefore not allowed to live in a luxury house like this themselves. Most people still live like that. Now we call the people who do most of the raiding "police", and they have bulldozers.

What? No, there is no need to posit systematic exclusion - keep Hanlon's Razor closer to heart. Deliberate destruction of value does happen but it's rare. At any point in history most people have to work hard to get a nice house not because that's objective fact, but because "nice" is defined by what people can afford.

> 3. And yeah, food is expensive when you have to plant it, and historically speaking, groups that have planted food can support denser populations with greater productive capital (mills, houses, tools) and more stratified social orders, all three of which make them militarily stronger, so they gradually pushed the groups that just gather it into the poorest and least fertile territories.

The most valuable resources go to those who make most efficient use of them (military strength has very little to do with it - in the long run it's all about productivity). Isn't that exactly what we want?

> It says that 'boogyman' is potentially offensive because it refers to gender.

Which is simply factually incorrect. "Boogeyman" doesn't refer to gender (or sex) at all. Like the "-man" in "woman", the "-man" that "Boogeyman" was partially derived from meant "person" -- a meaning that "man" had in English long before it acquired the alternate definition of "male human" (and even longer before that became the dominant use of the standalone word "man".)

Just to be clear: When I say bigger I mean literally, not figuratively. I am talking about commercial vehicles and other large things like trucks, vans, and coaches.

Audi, BMW and Benz, aren't typically physically larger than a minivan. A F-150 might be (but considering Ford's minivan uses the same base as the F-150, I'd argue they're similarly sized).

But is it bad that people speak a little more considerately? Who is losing out from being kind?

Likening the backlash against PCness to a fight against "kindness" is one hell of a strawman :) As belittling the damage to free speech that the strict observance of PC rules necessarily implies, is one hell of an "anti-strawman".

The PC movement is not asking that people speak "a little more" considerately (which we can all agree to), it is engaged in a careless witch hunt that has gone overboard, has ruined careers (google "Pycon joke"), and actively prevents normal transmission of knowledge in US/UK colleges (again see : http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trouble-teaching-rap... )

The PC movement as it operates now is quite simply, the closest thing western societies have to an Inquisition today.
I presume someone has written this in the hope of people using it. If it was used on a forum I posted on, I'd feel it as an imposition.

The author presents basically no evidence for this hypothesis.
All people do not understand all the things society created and they use to maintain their control (not only the the hardware, but also economy - salaries, prices, politics - elections, military institutions).
I don't think this is stupid, but probably won't happen any time soon. A project to correlate what humans look at to objects in the real world is probably possible, but would be a significant effort to get it to work reliably and accurately. Scaling it to a large population and processing the data to the point of providing useful insight about how we behave and look at things would be another hurdle.

Basically this probably won't happen until Google (or Facebook, or Apple, etc) decides that knowing what people look at is worth the effort/cost.

Maybe not 'terror' (that was just echoing the previous post) but its at least a sad thing that people living closer to nature are in actual violation of a building code.
My test for this kind of thing is this: suppose you need to make a high speed implementation in Verilog for an FPGA or ASIC. By high speed, I mean that you need to process multiple characters per cycle (say a 64-bit word at a time)- if you have to make a decision on a byte-by-byte basis, it's too slow. This is a very possible scenario if the protocol catches on: for example, I made HDLC byte stuffing for PPP framing, 4 characters at a time (at least better than bit stuffing).

The CRLF encoding is not so bad in this case: read 8 characters, in parallel detect CR. If there is no CR in your word, just append the data to the buffer. When you do have a CR, it's a big pain: you need to save the last word with byte masks, then shift any remaining for the next input (and the entire next string is shifted by this left-over balance). You could try to make all strings a multiple of 8 in length to avoid this, but this adds overhead to the message so is inefficient- the hardware will just have to do it.

OK, so now in your new format the hardware has to parse a variable length decimal number and convert it to binary (ideally in parallel), very fun! You could make the conversion byte at a time, but it's slow. You need to implement overflow detection.

At the very least use hex instead of decimal. Even in software you may need overflow detection. This is easy in hex, not so much in decimal. Better is to require the number to be a multiple of four or eight digits, even though this is a waste of bandwidth.
