To be fair, this is on a Lispworks mailing list discussing Lispworks in particular, which has it's own IDE that provides all of these features.

'Go To Source', 'Edit Definitions', 'Edit Callers', 'Edit Callees', 'Display Backtrace' are all a keystroke (or extended command call way) along with various tools that may or may not be present in others (I've never used MS Visual Studio, which seems to be a leader in this field)

One of the parts I miss from it was that break points are at a source level, not a line level, which allowed incredibly fine control when tracking down bugs.
This is not Baidu's work, it's the Firewall. Add ?falun+gong to any request to a server located in China and you'll be banned from it for a few minutes, e.g. http://search.news.cn/language/search.jspa?id=en&t=1&...

This has been discussed a few days ago on HN.
I had this really weird idea: allow proxied access to google from any webserver.

Simply reconfigure apache on a world-wide basis to allow it to proxy requests for search results.

The 'great firewall' would presumably have a bit of an issue with filtering out all the websites on the planet running apache.
And ruin such a brilliant example of evil corporate citizenship?

That's why I got a degree in philosophy.

OK, not the only reason, but one of them...

Meanwhile, I think my point stands. Too many people seem to have an "OMG you don't use linear algebra every day? What kind of crap programmer are you?" attitude.

I like the layout of the page, nice fonts etc.

The bit about being constrained by your first language is demonstrably not true (read pg's own account!). It can be a burden, but what stops people from progressing isn't this, it's the usual suspects: arrogance and ignorance. Once you stop judging a language purely on its merits and, thinking you've found the best, begin evangelizing it you will have problems seeing more powerful ones (because the language has become part of your id).

You have to treat a programming language like a great chess player treats possible moves: when you find a great one, sit on your hands and look for a better one.

As far as math: in my experience it isn't required. It will make you better and make your work easier. I've had good math people replace whole algorithms of mine with a couple of math statements. But if you really devote yourself to getting better at programming, learning a lot of diverse languages and so on, your math will get better. I've found it easier to learn certain math concepts from related programming concepts that I had already learned.

I like the monospaced font (I think it's called "Monospace") that comes with Gnome. And I have a version of Luxi Mono that has a dot in the middle of the 0 so that it's easier to spot it, but I haven't been using it much.

They are both Mac-friendly, AFAIK. Never tried to move them over to a Mac, but they do look good on Gnome/X.

Currently I am using "Envy Code R" as my monospaced font of choice.

And I would love to get screenshots of IBM's 3270 series terminals so I could draw that font as scalable fonts. I love its 6's and 9's.
Interesting idea.

But maybe more practical to provide an easy-to-install package that allows an apache installation to provide a proxy service in a standard way. Probably with a configurable bandwidth limit. Not sure how people would discover them though...
You're missing his point.

You reveal your Google Account (and e-mail address for most people) just by viewing the page, without typing a single character into the page.
I believe the reasoning is that climate change will destabilise regions leading to world conflict.

The major destabilisation will come from resource shift, such as water scarcity/abundance, leading to land conflict leading to major players (US/Russia/China/Europe) posturing.

It may seem like 'serious inconvenience' but if Europe suddenly had it's gas supply cut off by Russia and diplomacy failed do you not think they would mobilise their army BEFORE the eastern European winter arrives? The same would be true if water were scarce.

The dependencies between major blocks of our species are changing and climate change will strain relations.

> if Europe suddenly had it's gas supply cut off by Russia and diplomacy failed do you not think they would mobilise their army BEFORE the eastern European winter arrives?

No, they would not.

If you thought that Europe would go to war with Russia over natural gas then you're somewhat out of touch with the European sentiment on starting wars, and on the ability of Russia to fend off invaders.

Since they do content based filtering (sending a RST if they don't like the contents of your packet) the actual IP address of the server returning search results is irrelevant.
I don't think you got my point: I think, with (essentially) a giant hinge down either side, despite how much stronger whatever alloy is going to be, the container may not be as structurally stable as the current design.

The current design is built entirely for longevity and strength--this new one seems to eschew that to me.

That's not saying it isn't a good idea though. There is definitely a scope for improvement on the current design, and this might be a good start.

Heavy Rain demo shows off combat system
Agreed. As an example of the abject poverty there compared to even their closest neighbour.

Last night my parents recounted their trip (about 10 years ago) to the Dominican Republic. A lot of Haitian labour work in the DR in the fields etc (usual "immigrant labour" stuff you get everywhere). The average wage was about $1 a day. To put it in perspective in the DR (admittedly in the tourist resorts) you bought Coke for $1 :)

But $1 didn't buy you a lot more even in the non-tourist regions. And Haitians worked there, apparently, because the wages were good!

Calling it a mess is an understatement I think.

Any page with 10 or more links on them is supect then.

I'm fairly sure that if they blocked all forms and all results pages with more than 10 links on them that the internet would cease to be an asset to China.

Let's be realistic here for a second. If Apple manufactured in the US, not only would its products be twice as expensive, I'm pretty sure they would be equally, if not more shoddy. GM and Chrysler, after all, aren't exactly known for the reliability of their products or the quality of their manufacturing...

Companies that have had shoddy products coming out of China are companies that don't pay attention to their supply chain -- and Apple is fanatical about supply chain management.

Furthermore, the ethical problem of manufacturing in China isn't the same as that of practicing censorship in China. If tomorrow Western companies got out of China, besides unleashing an economic apocalypse that would make the last two years look like a rainy picnic, China wouldn't suddenly turn into Sweden. It would turn into Cuba, or North Korea. An angrier, more nuclear-armed North Korea. Nobody would win in this scenario, least of all the Chinese citizens we all want to eventually live in a prosperous, democratic country.
Apple and everybody else.

Manufacturing in China is the norm, not the exception.

If everything that was made in China would disappear from the Western hemisphere society would collapse.
The expensive bit of SSL is not the symmetric crypto once established, it's the public key crypto when setting up the SSL session.

However, 600 quid buys you a PCI-E accelerator card which offloads those calculations from the CPU, so you don't even have to get a fancy load balancer.
This may allow full search results, but the links still won't work, as the firewall blocks 'undesirable' URLs.

So the proxy would also need to convert URLs in the returned pages to link to proxied URLs, and to provide a proxy service for these 'undesirable' URLs.

If content filtering is used, then it would also need to strip out 'undesirable' words to prevent the whole page from being blocked based on its content rather than its URL.

I suppose a central service could be provided to provide all the proxy servers with the uptodate list of URLs that need proxying, and words that must be removed.

All this seems to me to be very possible, although it's probably a little more than you were thinking.
From the wikipedia article:

You have to love the language in there.

Pinnacle of euphemisms, kill a few million people and call it a 'coordinated nuclear release'.
Doubt it. Although it might take a few months to get sorted out.

There are many other places to get goods manufactured, and the free market is extremely good at sorting out problems like this.

I use misc fixed in a smaller size on osx in mrxvt (in X11 of course). Anti-aliasing turned off. 256 color goodness in terminal emacs, yummy. This terminal is incredibly fast (especially with anti-aliasing off), it'll scroll through a big file in the blink of an eye. I dislike having to wait when massive input is scrolling through a terminal. I totally love this setup, only caveat is that I need to attach a mouse to be able to paste into x11.

That's probably true.

But I can't see how a single government entity would be able to withstand the collective smarts of the population on both sides of that link cooperating to defeat it.

They would either have to shut down the link or stop censoring at some point.
For once I agree with Twitter.

Why would you want to automatically unfollow someone just because they unfollowed you? Either you're genuinely interested in their tweets, or you're not.
They can always move those factories to India or Eastern Europe.

And the biggest reason for outsourcing labor is for reducing the costs involved ... that's why I don't get why aren't they working on more advanced industrial robots and why is Japan the only one having breakthroughs in this regard ... probably because of unions, but what's worse ... outsourcing work or fully automated factories in your own country (that creates more jobs for engineers)? IMHO, it's the former.

And please note that with this statement I'm probably shooting myself in the foot ... since working on outsourced projects is at times my only source of income :)
Small nitpick: Gruber says Jobs killed the Newton not out of spite but because his skill is in creating new products, not improving other people's.

But the problem with that is that the original iMac, the product that made Apple relevant again, was conceived before Jobs' return. To be sure, he added his magic to the product that eventually came to market, but it was very much the case of Jobs imroving on someone else's product. (As was the case, more debatably, for the iPod)

The difference wasn't that Jobs dreamt them up from start to finish -- it was that he could take credit for them from start to finish.
Try to debug performance problems in queries, or scalability problems across your whole database. Trust me, competence in math will quickly prove very useful.

Of course if you are not competent in math you won't do well at that kind of task, and because you don't know better you won't necessarily recognize your inability for what it is.
And who would dare even enter such a search result from an ISP in China?

One of the "search results" would probably not appear on your screen... but in some sort of government database of "suspected dissidents." A government-run search engine is a must for any totalitarian regime.
That would be a corollary of "do be evil".
Don't you think they'd block on keywords, not link counts? These people aren't stupid, and are supplied by purveyors of the very best western technology.
"It's" is only ever an abbreviation for "it is'.i.e.,"its gas supply". Otherwise articulate and smart people seem to have difficulty with this. I can't fathom out why.

Can you explain why only Apple, when overwhelmingly majority of american consumer goods are manufactured/assembled in China?

Just to take Apple's example (they also rely on other asian countries for certain parts, ie. Korea & Taiwan comes to my mind right now), if they were to not rely on China to assemble/manufacture their products Apple products would have been even more expensive.

Also your iphone being defective has nothing to do with the fact that they were manufactured in China. While China made goods tends to be of low quality. High end computer gadgets like apple/dell goes through a certain high standard of manufacturing than your typical Chinese stuff. Companies tends to have a more hands-on approach to maintaining a certain standard and quality, which is generally missing in other chinese made products.

The problem is not that apple / google / MSFT invests and does business in China. The problem is that our government have legitimized Chinese style of government (a unique variant of communism), regardless how much they criticize on the side. Our government does not confront Chinese government directly. Its already too late to do anything now - we are too connected with their economy. If they go down - we go down, if we go down - they go down too.

The government can't do anything or the companies can't do anything without shooting their own leg. The only way we could pressure Chinese government is to start some kind of mass movement where we refuse to buy products manufactured in China (or similar government with questionable human-right records).

Its easier said than done, but the change has to come from us.

The Great Google Coverup? - The Daily Beast
I can see this happening more and more often in future, or at least I certainly hope so.

I'm genuinely surprised that it's taken so long for one of the major labels to express in public its displeasure with the lawsuit-first question-later bullying tactics. Have they only just done the accounts on costs of lawyers vs. income gained?
I suspect that you've had opportunities to use your math, and had you seen those opportunities you would recognize the potential utility.

I say this as someone who periodically finds yet another way to use my math background to help me do things while my co-workers in the same job don't. Which is why I'm the one who got to do the statistics for evaluating A/B testing, eliminated multiple performance problems others had come to accept, and gets tapped to tackle complex "how do we figure this out" problems from time to time.

And yes, I've had the fun of seeing co-workers who theoretically had the same job as me argue that math wasn't useful for programming, while I was sitting there with a list of examples of how I'd recently used my math background. (But then I got promoted into a different job title and in those discussions those programmers were able to respond that of course I needed more math for reporting, but they didn't need it as web developers. Never mind that I was the guy who got asked to help when the database had trouble scaling at peak traffic of several million pages/hour...)

Really this seems to me to be a variant of the blub paradox. If you haven't learned to reflexively see the benefits of thinking in some new way, you won't recognize how thinking that way could help with the problems you are solving day in and day out. Conversely if you have gained those mental skills, you recognize their utility in situations that other people wouldn't dream they are applicable for.
Thank you for correcting my ability to quote.

Otherwise articulate and smart people seem to have no problem in finding out which part of a text is original and which part has been quoted.
Because Twitter is about communication and conversations. And if someone unfollows you, it shows that they're not that interested in you.

I totally agree with reciprocating unfollows; I'll happily follow most (non-bot, non-spam) twitter people, because that's what makes Twitter interesting. But if they then unfollow me, clearly they're not interested in forming a communicative relationship.

Personally, I find it a little worrying that Twitter are dictating the use of their API: not in terms of number of requests (which they should be dictating), but what 'good practice' behaviour should be (which, perhaps, they shouldn't).

EDIT: I don't mean to sound so prescriptive; what I mean is that many people use it for conversations and communication; I understand some use it as 'RSS', and therefore - to these people - it doesn't matter if follows are reciprocated. But for those that want to use it to build relationships, auto-unfollowing makes sense.
