> What a sheltered life you claim to have led, not to have met anyone "smart" who is also religious.

Perhaps, although maybe in my social bubble in London, Christians just aren't all that common, smart or otherwise. My last interaction with a Christian was my ex-neighbours. Lovely friendly family, or so we thought until we saw & heard them carrying out exorcisms on terrified, screaming children in their kitchen. I called the police.
Which is a real shame because it's great to not worry about billing information, key management and pushing out updates (for both users and developers).
The way you send it to another party is not standarized. Think in your grandpa, he would want to just create a transaction while everything else happens behind the scene. Sending an email is a manual process and you need to recheck if the other party received it.

Beyond this, there is a bigger reason: if you want a risk service like Sig3 or CryptoCorp you should adapt the system to every multisig wallet while if you have an standarized way to communicate you wrote an standard system.

India's CO2 emissions are pittance compared to US, China and especially if you take the population into account. India has such a coal shortage they are making a pivot faster than many people think to Solar and Nuclear. The last regime messed up the Nuclear part because Fukushima happened and there was this leftist surge of pinning the blame on suppliers etc. If they fix the liability laws in Nuclear, in next couple of decades, India will move the NG, Solar and Nuclear at a satisfactory pace.

Exactly. Anyone who has ever actually done embedded work with Lua knows you can hardly get any closer in terms of "low-level" outside of the C API besides using LuaJIT's ffi.

If anything this is actually a high level abstraction on top of LuaJIT's ffi, so this is far from low level. God forbid anyone criticize anything on HN.

That was work. For example, he clicked the skull and crossbones icon after already knowing it was likely to give debug information. After seeing that it did, he looked at more information.

The initial load had no intent, but all exploration afterwards probably did. He stated himself that he thought it was debug information. If he only realized that Google did not intend him to have that information after he finished screenshotting everything, maybe he's in the clear for intent.

Again, this is similar to Weev. Weev found a url which AT&T gave him that had a number in it. He knew AT&T didn't intend him to change the number (just like this author knew Google didn't intend him to see the links), but he changed the number anyways (and this user clicked the links anyways).

I don't see the fundamental difference here.
Colonization was originally released as a separate game. It was in the same genre as Civilization ("4X": Explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) but otherwise shared nothing in common but its creator.

Colonization was recently re-released as a mod of Civilization IV. It was built in the Civ IV engine, but for the most part was just a re-skinned Colonization.

That's weird. By "method variable names" I mean local variables, i.e. those declared inside a method.

I'm not getting the same results as you with a little sample program I wrote - see: https://gist.github.com/JosephRedfern/662131ceb2119abf3e83. Field names and method names are preserved (which make sense), but local variable names are lost (which also makes sense to me!)

Are you sure that your example code doesn't include debug information?
Actually, SeaMonkey largely lives on Thunderbird's maintenance of the mailnews code.
I guess you could pkill directly.

Anyway, this "trick" is mentioned on the man page, which isn't that long. No additional tool required.
Local variables no, but a method name like isBadHost, and the field BAD_HOSTS, would be preserved in the absence of an obfuscator (and then, its job would not be trivial as isBadHost is scoped public).
I'm certainly at a loss for amother decent mail client that works on OS X and with Exchange.
"The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization." That would be healthy if the confession were the vehicle to self-actualization. Talk about confusing the means and the end. Too bad, because everything before that point was perfectly said.
And OCaml is written in C.

FB is too large an organization to survive long when competition is eating a huge chunk of their services. And especially so, if the competition is someone like telegram who is both free and open source.

Their decision to purchase WhatsApp turned out to be very ill-timed. WhatsApp was at the peak of their popularity when they did, but that peak was only because of ignorance of the masses - ignorance about glaring holes in WhatsApp security, and ignorance about significantly better alternatives like Telegram. But in the age of Internet, ignorance hardly lasts long among the masses, of all people, Zuckerburg should have known this!

An interesting thought. My experience is that often, people don't just want to know the subject. People judge whether or not they want to hear something based on phrasing and content. At which point the question might be best phrased as "Do you want to hear me agree with you at length? Y/N"

And that seems maybe a bit silly.
They already released 5.0, and didn't change anything.

As someone who grew up in a household without religion, we still enjoyed christmastide. Still got a yule tree and wrapped presents and all that.

It's more a shared personal tradition than religiously based one, though it can be tied to religion and many people enjoy it that way, though many enjoy it without such tie-ins.

In Haskell, you declare that a type is an instance of a typeclass, and provide implementations for the required functions. You can do this anywhere for any type. Then, you have your functions accept any type that is an instance of you typeclass you need. Go has a vaguely similar concept. This is incompatible with subtyping, but not incompatible with static typing, and is one of the reasons fans of functional programming languages can so derisive of languages that allow subtyping.

It is not the bitstream per say that you want, but the full description of the Device Database (defining every programmable switch in the FPGA).

Somebody asked why are FPGA EDA tools so large. Well, this is the number one reason.

So, at the end of the day, the real reason why FPGA companies don't open source their bitstream (and as I said, the actual database) is simply because it will be a major undertaking for them to document in any way that will actually make it possible for the community to use. An FPGA is NOT a processors so it not as easy to document as documenting an instruction set.

So, very hard to do, and not enough of a business justification to do so (combined with old school management that don't really understand the value of open source). That is it.

BTW, it will actually be relatively doable to document the basic Logic Cell, but the problem is that in today's modern FPAGs, the logic portion is a relatively small portion (when considering complexity) compared to the very complex I/O interfaces.

I think the best you can hope for (and what I believe both X and A are moving towards) is a more flexible tool flow, and heavy use of technologies like Partial Reconfiguration, which should allow you to build lots of tools and simply use the FPGA tools (mostly P&R and Timing Analysis) as "smaller" black boxes, while allowing open source or third party to build higher level system integration tools (which IMO, is what is more needed today).
You can use Lua, Terra or both at runtime. The Lua part is LuaJIT including the ffi. The Terra part is LLVM and can link directly to C (maybe C++?). Lua can be used as a metaprogramming system to produce a static Terra .o or exe. Or Lua can be used as a runtime that can JIT and invoke Terra functions on the fly.
They're huge because they have to support a lot of stuff from hardware devices to synthesis to verification. Probably legacy issues in there too. It doesn't help that every part of hardware development is Mega-Hard:

http://fpgacomputing.blogspot.com/2008/08/megahard-corp-open...

Each aspect of synthesis, equivalence checking, testing, etc has whole MS's and PhD's dedicated to it. I'm sure the result can be a lot smaller than 20GB but it's still going to be incomprehensible by one person except in pieces. And that person has to be an expert on every aspect of hardware development from digital to analog to the wires that make up the gates. Like major OS's or software, you're always going to be taking someone else's word that a huge chunk of it's safe. Might as well plan around that.
Agreed completely. Calling the DMCA a "vital component of the content ecosystem", rather than the terminally flawed, abuse-laden deadweight on the content ecosystem that it really is.

Are there any evangelical christians that have a critical assessment of this piece? I'm no longer a part of the church, but a few phrases strike me as strange ("An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad. It is supposed to make you feel guilty."; "The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization."; "Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them “feel bad” about themselves, is a “hater,” a “bigot,” an “oppressor,” and a “victimizer.”) I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.

> We've seen something like this before, when AIM allowed MSN Messenger to interoperate. I know this is a little different, but that was still how AIM lost.

Lost? AIM was the dominant IM platform in the US until the late 00s/early 10s when mobile and cloud-based services took over. First SMS/MMS and then platforms like Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts, and Skype.

The only place MSN was dominant was third-world countries like Brazil.
I'm guessing that the java process is their video server. It's probably having to DRM and bandwidth regulate hundreds of HD streams. Unfortunately, this might mean that all of the stuff he talked about in here didn't actually help him solve the problem because none of it had any visibility inside of their Java VM.
They're actually moving in the opposite direction. With iOS 9, you no longer need an expensive code signing certificate to load your own software onto an iPhone.
From my experience, AIM lost because it was the cool thing to do in high school before everyone had cell phones. Once texting/BBM was a thing, AIM became completely obsolete. I don't think I know anyone who ever used MSN Messenger.

> India's CO2 emissions are pittance compared to US, China and especially if you take the population into account.

Exactly.

India's carbon emissions per capita are the lowest of all the countries listed here[0]; the US emits almost ten times as much per capita. That's literally 2.3 times as much by volume, even though India has 1.2 billion people. (And the US isn't even the top of the list - Australia is!)

For comparison, the EU emits four times as much carbon per-capita as India, which amounts to 1.5 times as much by volume (despite the EU's small population of only 500,000,000).

China is often used as a bogeyman when it comes to the environment, but honestly, even China's emits half as much carbon per-capita as the US does, and only a hair more than the EU does. They just have four times as many people as the US.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

That doesn't mean that these sins need to be confessed in the presence of a priest or something like that (as in the Roman Catholic Church), but given how God's forgiveness is what Christianity is all about, confession is a somewhat important corollary.

Assuming that God's forgiveness isn't something humans can produce while confession is, "primary objective" may be a pretty good description.

Unlike the original parent post I don't think this announcement anything to do with XUL. Thunderbird just doesn't have the userbase Mozilla expects it to at this point because, surprise, the people who want an email client are a small subset of the people who want a web browser.

This is lost in a sea of replies now but I'm sure pissed off Mozilla is completely losing their root mantra of fighting for the free web. Persona, Thunderbird, two critical components of a "free web": free global authentication, free email client. I'm sure next mozfest the same suits as every year will talk about how they're so proud of "keeping the web open". What a crock of crap. Firefox isn't even that good of a browser anymore.

> I'm just not sure if managing the payment network, licensing and distribution support is going to be even more of a headache.

From my own experience (I have a few apps on the MAS + outside of it) something like Devmate+Fastrpring or Paddle makes licensing and payment processing pretty painless. Of course there's other issues like what happens when Paddle or Devmate go belly up ande stop processing license activations. But still it takes only a weekend to get it to work and once you get it to run it just works.

The real problem though is that the Mac software ecosystem outside the MAS is dead. No user goes to those huge software directory websites anymore (my traffic from MacUpdate & co. is almost zero). (Funnily enough before the MAS went live Apple had a list of OS X software. It was a great source of high quality traffic back then. But it wen't offline with the introduction of the MAS).

The only way to get your app infront of users is via SEO (which means that you take your eggs from the MAS basket and put them all into the Google basket) or by spending loads of money on PPC ads which won't give you a positive ROI because $39 is now considered hugely expensive for software.

Social media, blog posts, etc. are all nice in theory but won't convert to paying users. You made a funny cat picture that went viral and sends thousands of reddit users to your website? Great, but no one will download your app. They just want the cat picture.

The same goes for paying $10k for a blog post over at daringfireball. People will visit your website but won't download.

Buying ads directly on blogs, forums or twitter/facebook? No one cares for those. You will just lose money.

Marketing your own software got really hard nowadays and if you're not one of the "famous" developers removing your app from the Mac App Store just means that you will lose most of your revenue.

Great for Sketch that they can pull it off. But most devs can't. Which makes Apple's negligence of the MAS even worse.
I parted company with the article at this line: "The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization." That's at odds with education, which should have a goal of assisting you in living up to your full potential. (Acknowledging guilt of wrongdoing can be part of living up to one's potential, but I don't consider it a primary goal of education.)
I found this tweet from the Tweetbot developers even more significant, there was no way they could upload a patched old version to the Mac App Store to fix it:

https://twitter.com/tapbot_paul/status/664822849534754816
The sad thing is, they didn't even need an App Store to provide this type of service, and it would have been more useful without a store. Apple already has iCloud; they only needed a variation of the current sync mechanism (something a bit smarter that knows how to find stuff in Applications and related files like Library->Preferences). If they're comfortable giving away free gigabytes of storage to people, they shouldn't care about uploading all of a user's apps — from a store or not — and syncing them anywhere.
"So, very hard to do, and not enough of a business justification to do so (combined with old school management that don't really understand the value of open source). That is it."

I think this is your best argument. I believe one of the Big Two did open-source a large aspect of their FPGA's or software a while back. Maybe the bitstream. Nobody cared and they didn't make more money. So, they have no incentive to do that plus negative results that will probably happen.
