Black Hairstyles
There are a lot of different black hair braids styles available so there is quite a bit that you have to learn about and how to do each different style.
I once had the pleasure of building the BCPL compiler for the GP2X gaming platform, just so I could run the amazing EDSAC simulator that comes with the BCPL package. I kept thinking, the whole time, that this language BCPL was like an old 70's classic automobile with fine leather trim and air conditioning .. sure the mileage probably wasn't that great, but there was just so much style in the trimmings .. ;)
25 Wordpress Comments Plugin

If the LSE were using F# we'd have heard a lot more about it already. For instance, from Microsoft.
It's a bit wonky when you use a variable-width font.
Google is the best company to figuring out this "new" search engine. It's vastly cheaper and easier to continue tweaking their current system than it would be for someone else to code a search engine from scratch. IMHO there exists no silver bullet approach to search, instead it's a on-going quest/war consisting of infinite trials and errors.

Also, I am not sure that the spam problem is as bad as people claim it to be. I have looked at virtually all of the lists of content farms that have been published since Google release their Personal Blocklist for Google Search and it seems to be that (a) it's all very subjective and people rarely agree that a particular site is a content farm (b) and therefore the number of sites that people seem to agree are farms aren't more than a dozen.

I believe this is due to a glitch in the Application and not in Linux per se.
Maybe not if they were using F# on mono. Their PR would have to work very hard to put this in a way that doesn't say "LSE is using our language on a foreign platform using a completely alternative implementation, which has nothing to do with us apart some ECMA specs - and they're still successful without MS involvement. Yes, we just confirmed that you can trust your highly critical .NET environment to the alternative versions of runtime."
Automated Monopoly hasn't figured out that people just don't like Monopoly
I don't think it's about talent, but more of a problem of proper planning and execution. It seems things had been rushed to meet the tight demands, causing the chaos.

When LSE acquired MilleniumIT, to redo the platform, they claimed to have developed world fastest trading platform[1] and had enough talent under their belt developing trading systems around the globe for last decade.

At this size, some obfuscation might be good. If you find a bug and crash some browser, it's not a big deal. If you find some problem in LSE that can be triggered from outside, you're dealing with realworld $M transactions.

Also, unless you have a huge farm of servers it would be useless to you - and basically anyone really.
I'd prefer a little more examples or information before signing up for this.

What I'm wondering is who is attempting to sell the papers?

From the article:

The collection, now officially named the Turing-Maxwell
Collaboration Collection, comprises the largest known
collection of Turing's offprints in the world - given by
Turing to his close friend and colleague Professor Maxwell
Newman.

Wikipedia says that Newman passed away in 1984: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Newman

Is the current owner one of his heirs or some other party?

Guys,

This is really clever. When I first looked at it I thought "I can already do this in my app or with Unbounce or ..."

But then when I took a closer look at app it occurred to me that this is sooooo simple. Unbounce takes a learning curve and doing app-level routing testing can take some configuration.

With that in mind, I see a couple of options:

1. Do A/B testing on the type of products you suggest, such as Google Docs that don't normally then themselves to such functionality. The issue I have with this approach is that I don't actually know of a situation where I would have done this. The times I'm A/B testing something (which isn't often), I'm highly invested in whatever I'm doing and the outcome. This is almost always whatever I'm building or selling, hence Unbounce or my own app.

2. Figure out a way to put var.to INTO an app or a situation that I care a lot about and would pay for the tool. IF you could figure out way to make it drop-dead simple for me to put it into my app and then provided killer analytics an services on top if it, then it might be something I'd pay for.

Bottom line: I think you have a clever, interesting, easy-to-use tool that I like from an intellectually curious position. But it doesn't yet grip me emotionally with a "I've GOT to use this" position yet.

Nice job, hope it helps!

What happens when you incarcerate a CEO? HR hires another, PR makes some noises to press as how former CEO didn't represent corporate values, lobbyists control the damage with legislators and business continues as usual.
OK, I wouldn't expect an official press release like this from Microsoft head office.

But the team in Microsoft Research are (a) keen to promote their language (people like Don and Brian often help early adopters personally) and (b) supportive of Mono (they've always released a .zip file for Mono at the same time as their Windows installers).
using a immature language (f#) over unproved software stack for an international multi billion dollar low latency transactions when there are dozens of proven highly stable functional alternatives that run well on a linux platform? I can hardly believe it
YMMV. There's plenty of someone posting something cool they did, or a startup who just got TC'ed and is giddy with excitement to show the world. As long as it's "on topic" or whatever, it doesn't seem wrong. Of course then there's the matter of "what's on topic for HN?" -- which I will not comment on because everyone seems to have a different opinion.

In this case I personally think it's fine -- Franz is just linking to a piece written by him, which to me is like linking your own blog post. We see that fairly frequently I'd say...and SEO is of relevance to most people here (I would think). A shameless self-promo piece might find a more negative reception here.

Ok, cool, sounds like it's time to evaluate them again. Surprised their sales team didn't call us back about the new offerings!
Failover in this scenario would require instant, 100% replication of a near-zero latency system.

I'm no expert, but I'm fairly sure having trades 'disappear' or any other loss of consistency would be worse than downtime in this case.

No, the lack of skills of the pickpockets saved your vacations. Pickpocketing is based on diverting the mark's attention.

If a hot girl touches your arm and look at you in the eyes with a vivid smile, you won't feel the hand searching for your pocket. I'm pretty sure someone could put a leg in your back pocket and you wouldn't still feel a thing!

The real protection is to have your money inside your belt or similar location and just have decoys in your pockets.
The exclusivity was simply a means to an end; Facebook's strength was that it had a route to becoming the first social software that all your real life friendship group used. And it let you know in a nice indirect way who was going to which party, and by extension whether you had much chance of getting laid.

Actually MSN messenger probably had all my friends on it first, but their profiles were sadly neglected and their non-time sensitive messaging and invitation system was Hotmail.

As for the old folks, I worry more when I hear my octogenerian grandpa mention icanhascheezburger!

Updating a clock to display the correct time is actually difficult and involved, sleep(1) will not work! The problem reminds me of this Intel article on syncing video output [1]

Basically, sleep(1) won't always align with clock updates, so sometimes a given time will display for more or less time than a second. This can be observed by opening the clock widget on Windows XP for example, it's very noticeable. I don't actually know a nice way to do it, maybe updating 10 times per second or so?

I still don't understand how they choose languages with garbage collection for systems that should be real time or similar.
It's not F# or Java, it's C++. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2261896
I don't believe it at all. Mainly because of the public statements that the new LSE trading system was written in C++.

On the other hand, it has to integrate with lots of enternal trading systems, one of which could easily be written in F#.
The bigger problem isn't so much that you've got a 50/50 chance just blindly plugging it in. With all considerations, 50% probability of connecting a device by just sticking your hand under your desk and jabbing randomly with a USB cord is actually fantastic compared to every other connection on a PC.

However, the problem is that the USB ports have no guide to lead the USB in so they stick on the edge and no matter how hard you push it just sits on the edge and makes you think you have it upside down. You would improve usability greatly if the ports just readily allowed the plug to slide in.

I've never had to make an effort to plug in a 3.5mm as the plug design complements the port design. You either miss or it's in.

"Continuous trading has now resumed in all order driven trading services."
Interesting article, as usual. But a rule like "you shouldn't have a marketing budget" seems too one-size-fits-all. If you're building consumer apps, sure, it makes sense to rely on it being viral, but there's a whole universe of other stuff out there to build where it can be a lot harder to reach the customers.

And even if it is a viral consumer app, don't you want to be able to put the pedal down and accelerate growth at some point?

We launched at techcrunch, but it still cost money to get out there, get material ready for the demo, etc. Isn't that marketing (to investors, but still)? Seems like you're spending time/money on marketing even if it doesn't have a dedicated budget line item.
Not yet. You mean exposing an endpoint that allows you to replicate documents a certain user owns? Like the idea!

There's already some synchronization/replication taking place but on a higher level. That's trough Data.Graph#sync (https://github.com/michael/data) which pushes data-nodes that have been modified to the server.
None of the exchanges have the required talent. Being the best exchange technology company is like being the best team in a minor league. If you're good at extreme low latency stuff you're going to be working for a bank.

At a bank being great at low-latency can mean tens of millions of dollars of profit for your trading desk and a huge bonus for your personally.

At an exchange being great a low-latency means ... well not much, your exchange gets a bit more flow and you get a pat on the back.
DisplayPort handles 2560x1600 screens just fine, and that requires 6gbps, (2560 x 1600 x 24bits/pixel x 60frames/second = 6Gbps) so I'm not sure where you get your numbers from. 3 Gbps is required to handle full HD, and DisplayPort obviously handles that.

Unless you're talking gigaBYTES per second. 2.7GBps is more than 17Gbps, so your numbers are even higher than mine.
>The GPU article on NVIDIA's website uses ILP incorrectly.

That depends on the implementation. Lets say there is a program

f3=OP1(f1)

f4=OP1(f2)

OP2(f3)

OP2(f4)

Some possible ILP forms:

OP1(f1)OP1(f2)

OP2(f3)OP2(f4)

or

OP1(f1)

OP1(f2)OP2(f3)

OP2(f4)

A DLP form:

OP1(f1, f2)

OP2(f3, f4)

or may be their DLP implemented as

OP1(f1)OP1(f2)

OP2(f3)OP2(f4)

and if it is the case i don't see why they can't call it an ILP.
I'm curious - how did you become aware of the net worth of your CEO?
Sure, but can it bond the two channels together to drive a quad HD screen? If they could bond them, I'd sure they'd be advertising 20Gbps rather than 10Gbps, since it's a bigger number that sounds better.
I like that Leo has a "best of" page, it works well for him (and with the site's aesthetic).

I'm not always a fan of his suggestions, though. Browsing some of his archives, I see advice against eating grains [0]:

They’re also packed full of carbs, which should
also be minimized in a cutting, leaning-out phase.
(Note: There is no requirement in human nutrition
for carbs.)

That last bit is blatantly false, and I can't help but think he's overstepping his bounds a little bit.

That said, in general his advice is strikingly enlightening.

Why is it ok for HBGary to take money to compromise computers, but when Anonymous engaged in expression of speech they are targetted by federal investigators?

Or why weren't criminal charges laid against the responsibles at Sony BMG after illicitly infecting thousands of computers with malware, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootki...), while a pimply faced teenager in Wyoming pulling such a stunt would still be rotting in jail?
It could be some left over system from the previous .Net platform causing a knock-on effect.
This is an insanely annoying behavior being on the receiving end and in fact will be decremental to your efforts if you do it to me. I go to conferences to talk to people in the community not to have to listen to pitches. This reminds me how the new york tech meetup turned from being a small venue cool place to present a project you are working on into a huge deal with vc's, service providers etc.
I wouldn't believe 100% in those statements.

That's very likely. Any programmer with even an entry level position at the LSE would get head hunted by multiple agents in the first month. And the investment banks do pay £700/day for talent.
My observation ...

If it's on topic, adds value, and isn't simply spam, then often yes, it's OK. Many readers, perhaps most readers, don't notice whether something is self-linked.

But if someone consistently self-links, and the lunk-to items are of marginal, or zero, value, then people start to notice and the person in question loses face, karma, and possibly good-will.

So, it depends.
"What happened to Barr? Anonymous loudly and angrily demanded that Penny Leavy fire him, since his list of Anonymous names could allegedly have gotten "innocent people" into serious trouble. Leavy made clear that HBGary Federal was a separate company from HBGary, one in which she owned only a 15 percent stake, and that she couldn't simply "fire" the CEO."

I found the comments on this article interesting: http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/rsa-2011-winning-war-losin...

"They claimed that the company was under separate management, and that HBGary, Inc. only had a 15% stake in the company. However, the Operating Agreement for HBGary Federal, LLC, reveals that Greg Hoglund and Penny Leavy were two of the original six Founding Directors of HBGary Federal. Futher, Penny Leavy herself signed the incorporation application with the California Secretary of State. This Operating Agreement confims the 15% stake held by HBGary, Inc. in HBGary Federal, but it also reveals that Penny Leavy herself holds a 48% share in the company. Her 48% share, plus that of HBGary, Inc. (15%) puts their combined ownership stake at 63%. In terms of dollars invested, their investment in HBGary Federal amounts to some 87.5% of the total monies invested.

"This operating agreement can be downloaded from:
http://cryptome.org/0003/hbg/HBG-Fed-OA.pdf "

Exhibit B in the Cryptome PDF (page 31) does indeed show Penelope Christine Leavy with 48%, in addition to HB Gary Inc's 15%.

Isn't one of the big problems with Monopoloy that no-one plays it by the actual rules?

Since out-bidding for properties seems to aggressive and likely to lead to family fallouts, that part just gets dropped from the game. This makes it more boring and take much longer to finish.

I wonder how that works out with an automated version. Does it have rule variants built-in?

Though there is a train of thought that it's lack of enjoyment is the best thing about it:

You can't make voting-from-home secure, someone at home could always show how they voted to a third party (allowing vote selling) or be forced to vote in a particular way (by someone standing next to them with a gun.

The current vote-in-booth solution solves both of these problems.

It's not the only way to promote voting, if you want everyone to vote then just make it compulsory.

True enough. If the statement turns out to be not entirely correct, that would be news.

I suspect that if there is any F# code, it's in a 3rd party system that talks to the stock exchange. There are lots of those due to the nature of an exchange, though they should all talk over the standard FIX protocol.
Resources is a list of all the resources linked to the current tab (page).

It starts with a nested trees of network resources (Frames > Pages > HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Images, note that in the case of e.g. CSS files if you have performed editions via the Elements tab they will be trees as well listing all previous revisions of the file), then lists the databases, local storage, session storage, cookies and application cache for the page.

Networks holds most of the old "Resources" tab, it is a detailed view of the network transactions (HTTP and WebSocket request/responses) performed on the current page since it was opened.

The only significant differences I noticed are that the Safari/Webkit version has nice gradients (in Chrome, the "tools" tab bar is flat and each section gets a "depressed" gradient when selected, in WebKit the whole bar has a gradient giving it "volume", nicer to look at) and the whole bar is draggable in Safari (for resize) whereas in Chrome you have to grab the intersection between the tools and the actual page.

The former is a nice detail on Saf's part but not really important, the latter is a real pain in Chrome as I'm mostly using Safari/Webkit for my development.
