My understanding is that C4 was a Mac development conference.

So I'm not sure why section 3.3.1 of the iPhone developer agreement (and the absence of "outrage" from iPhone developers) should prompt C4 to release itself.
That wasn't my argument at all. I was responding to this claim:

"I think there's perhaps a distinction here between things like personal profile information (one might not one's psycho ex to see their phone number or even wall posts, while not minding sharing them with friends) and things like fan page liking."

My point is that fan page liking is personal profile information. Everything you put on facebook is personal profile information. The Bob example was merely to show that 'becoming a fan' of something can reveal profile information about the person. The fact that Bob could potentially be 'hurt' in the scenario was just to make Bob sympathetic (as opposed to the all too typical scenario where people post severely racist or homophobic content without realizing how public it might be).
So the legal ramifications of using GrooveShark are still unknown for the most part, contrary to what iamdave said.
A Steam client for Linux isn't out yet ("shortly" is the official word).
Phoronix's source seems to be from the Telegraph.co.uk's article[1]. While I don't doubt Valve will release Steam for Linux, I'd wait for the slightly more official statement before declaring it's official.

I honestly wasn't sure if this day would ever come.

After all, if OS X, with all of Apple's resources, couldn't wrap up much developer support, what hope did Linux have?

Absolutely fantastic news!

We live in an era where the sole purpose of business is to maximize revenue streams.
That's exactly what they have said, in not so many words. And yet people are still whining incessantly.

As for 'becoming a fan' being inherently social, that's true. The issue is whether something that's inherently social is also inherently public. Going on a date with your girlfriend is social, but you may not want it inherently public (and keep in mind there's a difference between internet public and people seeing you together at a restaurant public.
It's been a long time since I read the NaCL publications so I might be forgetting some things. But, let's say IE9 were to move plugins to their own low-integrity processes (instead of being in the tabs' low-integrity processes like now). Given a perfectly-functioning mandatory integrity control system, how much of the additional NaCL infrastructure really provides extra security? How much of it "just" provides an extra layer of defense against kernel bugs and/or security for pre-Vista/non-Windows systems?

In other words, is this extra infrastructure something that Microsoft would really find useful to implement in IE9? Or, is it just needed for operating systems that IE9 won't support anyway?
So now Linux users: BUY BUY BUY.

I'll be sure to buy a few things from it once it is available even if I'm not likely to play many games.

Passively supporting this isn't very helpful, vote with your wallet. The more money they make the better it is for Linux in the future.
Ask HN: How to search through 1M scanned TIF images?
Here's my problem: I've got a corpus of over 1 million scanned text documents in tif format. No OCR has been performed.

What is industry best-practice for indexing and searching through these documents?

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with commercial and/or open-source solutions that are performant on this type of problem?

How about experience with ranking algos other than tf-idf?

I'm sure this is a common problem at the enterprise level. For example, just today, the WSJ published an article mentioning that over "100,000 pages of documents [have been collected from] the companies and agencies involved in the" oil spill: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703339304575240210545113710.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories

What is the quick, easy, and reliable way to search through these single-serving corpora?
This looks like a ploy to reward people for the mac beta.
I can't vote this up enough. If you want a game that makes you think, that has an interesting story (which also makes you think), and which then makes you think about both of those in the context of time not necessarily being a linear forward progression, get Braid.

Put another way, if you've ever wanted a platformer where you had to think 'Once I flip this switch, I have five seconds to have been over there', Braid is your game.

It's not really news yet. Valve won't officially get behind it until such a point as they can be sure that it will function solidly on the majority of major Linux platforms. Even beyond that, they'll want to make sure there's a market for it, and that's going to be the harder part. I expect any linux stuff done so far is exploratory rather than a guarantee.

I mean, the support that's there could be just one or two guys noodling around. At one point in the life of Neverwinter Nights, there was a BeOS port done by a BeOS fanatic in the Bioware office.

Sadly, until there's an official announcement, I wouldn't get too excited.

Every time I see something like this, I am reminded of my disappointment that such a great language (Objective-C) has somehow been relegated to the ghetto of platform-specific languages, in practice if not in technical truth. I would love to see growing interest in Objective-C development outside of the Apple platform space, where some of us who have little or no interest in Apple but could definitely benefit from the practical usability of a language like Objective-C would be able to do something with it.

When MacOS X first started popularizing Objective-C, I was hoping this would be a good thing for the language in general. Instead, it almost feels like the language has been turned into some kind of proprietary vertical developer community integration plot device, whose sole purpose is (apparently) to get developers locked into working for a single platform, much as VB has served for Microsoft.

Yeah. I'm disappointed, and I just felt like sharing.
It also causes my Macbook Pro to swap over to discrete graphics from the integrated chip, and sets itself to automatically launch on startup. Significantly reducing the battery life of new macs, by default.

Still, this is a first release, and the automatic graphics switching is still quite new. I trust that the UI / UX issues will be resolved in due course.

Edit: Upon rebooting my Mac, the Steam client did not trigger an integrated to discrete switch. However, according to gfxCardStatus, the "steam" process was keeping the discrete card engaged prior to the reboot.

Think about how they got so far while remaining so helpless. If someone convinces you that they're working really hard and trying to be independent, yet their helplessness proves they have a long history of being dependent and getting credit for other people's work, then odds are they're just good actors. Or they're fooling themselves. Either way, don't waste your time.

I know that's harsh on people who actually are trying to turn themselves around, but they should expect to weather some initial skepticism after coasting for so long.
So, in essence, the post shows that you can always transform a for loop into a fold call (you can emulate the loop's mutable variables with function arguments). But I don't think the result is better in any sense than the original, imperative, style.

Ask HN: Can they deny my wife in-state student status in Arizona?
My wife and I got married about 6 months ago and now she wants to attend community college here. They have denied her in state status because she hasn't been living here for a year.

I'm concerned because before she went to apply I checked the laws and there is a clear exception if the person's spouse has been a resident for at least a year, they qualify for in state. I was born in Arizona and have been living here my whole life.

I would love to get some feedback to see if its worth pursuing this further.

Here is the excerpt from Arizona law (15-1802 B-4):

4. The person's spouse has established domicile in this state for at least one year and has demonstrated intent and financial independence and is entitled to claim the student as an exemption for state and federal tax purposes or the person's spouse was temporarily out of state for educational purposes, but maintained a domicile in this state. If the person is a noncitizen, the person must be in an eligible visa status pursuant to federal law to classify as an in-state student for tuition purposes.

You can get the game without steam installed (though you do need to sign up for an account on-line and you may need to give your CC info), so you may as well "purchase" it now. Worst case you never get to play it and are out 5 minutes of your time.

Going full tilt on cleanup is probably not a good idea.

For instance cleaning up oiled birds may seem like the right thing to do, but the unfortunate reality is that even if you remove the oil from their feathers, the vast majority will die from shock and organ failure. Most experts believe the most humane course is actually to euthanize oiled birds. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,693359,00.h...

The same goes for other forms of cleanup, for instance aggressively cleaning fragile areas such as marshes may cause additional damage for little if any benefit. Dispersants are themselves toxic, and overuse may cause more harm than good.

THE best thing to do in response to the Gulf spill’s landfall is ... nothing. Sure, larger oil concentrations can be sopped up, and large animals can be cleaned. But cleanup efforts can do only so much: evidence suggests that they reduce hydrocarbon concentrations only over the short term. And many responses have harmful side effects. Controlled burning spreads toxic materials and kills plants that retard erosion, thus hurting the very lands we’re trying to protect. Nutrient-rich detergents or active bioremediation — which encourages the growth of bacteria that can break down oil — can fundamentally disturb the ecological balance for decades.

Instead, we should recognize that nature can do many things far better than we can, and with less collateral damage. Oil is a natural byproduct of biological and geological processes; if left alone in coastal environments, wave action, the sun and microbes in the sediment will naturally break down hydrocarbons. Meanwhile, money saved can go to helping local economies deal with the loss of income, improving safety regulations and enforcement and developing a clean energy policy. — KEVIN M.

Any idea how this is going to interact with DRM? Because I might buy games from Steam, but the idea that I'd put DRM on my Linux system is little more than snicker-worthy. (Sure, just let me compile that into my kernel for you, no sweat....)

Also, many children were coached/told to say things (lie) on the stand since "they didn't remember what happened to them". I wonder what the children will think of their parents when they grow up.
I think this may be related to why a horse falling down a mineshaft will explode on impact whereas a mouse thrown down the same mineshaft will probably experience just a shock and wander off.

Adults weigh considerably more than small children so the energy of them impacting anything will be much higher than the same thing happening to a smaller child. It's not going to be a huge difference, but it might just be the difference that swings the odds around from an instant death to being 'just' severely wounded.

Incredibly sad story this, it's all over the news here in NL, the majority if the victims is dutch.

Unfortunately, with a B+Tree index, you cannot jump in powers of 2 (well, you can but only within one page). To find a record with a given offset you'd need to traverse the whole linked list of the leaf-level pages, and that's what MERGE JOIN does by default.

However, this solution would be nice if you had a sorted recordset which allows efficient positional seek (for instance, a materialized result of the previous operation which required sorting).
Because WinAPI, no matter what MAC system it implements, isn't enforced at the basic-block level, and NaCL is. NaCL has a smaller auditable attack surface. No matter what WinAPI does, the entire memory map of an x86-64 process is exposed to IE, and the same system call gates are exposed, and the same set of inherited process attributes are there.

I'm not saying one is more secure than the other (NaCL's model is more elegant but theoretically riskier, WinAPI's is better tested and more conservative).
I think is definitely valid to ask a lawyer because lawyers deal with stuff like this everyday, also a letter from a lawyer will usually be taken a bit more serious than a letter from an individual (that's not how it should be, but unfortunately that's how it is).

For your sake I hope that there is another HN'er that reads your plea that has a situation that is comparable, but the number of factors and their incidence are such that it would be fairly coincidental if someone had the exact same thing happen to them.

Nothing lost by trying though!

I suspect they didn't realize how many people, when faced with the mangling of their profiles, replacing all of their interests with poorly and inconsistently guessed 'likes,' would simply get rid of all that data.

It's really interesting looking at Facebook in Spanish, their localization with these roll-outs is pretty slipshod. "Mark as read" showed up in English for over a month after the big PHP-compiling to C++ shift, which otherwise was pretty good.

Likewise, though my profile is written in English, Facebook took it upon itself to guess what everything meant, and translate it into actual books and such. The result was actually remarkably effective, but still imperfect, and plain text is simply a better data model for what should be a simple "here's who I am."
