Attacco a Barracuda Networks: la sicurezza nel mirino
Davvero un brutto periodo sul fronte degli attacchi a società che, a vario titolo, si occupano di sicurezza. Dopo RSA e Comodo, ora è il turno di Barracuda Networks che, per ironia della sorte, si occupa proprio della commercializzazione di apparati di protezione da attacchi a livello delle applicazioni Web.

I guess I just find it funny that the seminal 'teenager' book was written by J.D. Salinger, and this critical review was written by J. Seliger. Especially when I couldn't remember at first exactly how Salinger's name was spelled.
This reminds me of what Steve Martin did in his early career. He played the same comedy clubs over and over again, keeping the routines that worked and ruthlessly dropping the ones that didn't, until he became the most famous comedian in the world.
As he put it: "I did stand-up comedy for eighteen years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four were spent in wild success."

P.S. Born Standing Up, his memoir, is deservedly praised.
On my team such remarks cost a dollar. The JVM generally does very well in terms of memory use compared to many languages. It's easy to test: write an a small program in both languages that creates boatloads of objects and then watch the memory.

The JVM will use up all the memory it can (the amt is configurable with some runtime flags) before the GC kicks in and frees up space. It uses a couple of buckets for different types of objects, and can easily clean small short-lived objects with a bit of a CPU hit, but without affecting the performance of the application. The upshot is you'll see Java's mem use slowly creep up, you'll see a small spike in CPU, then the mem use will drop. If you don't see this, it means the code is poorly written and its keeping around object references.

Ruby's GC is much less efficient. It has no concept of memory buckets like the JVM and will effectively stop execution and traverse every object in the heap twice, marking and then freeing up space.

Early versions of Java (pre 5) had some substantial problems with memory management, but it's been very performant for quite some time and easily out-paces ruby.
"He didn't go on the offensive when talking to the manager."

Right, and in return the manager put the squeeze on him which cost him thousands if not tens of thousands over the years. He should have

* gone to the manager first and have asked for a higher raise (in a non-confrontational way).

* used it as leverage for a better description of what he needed to do to get a higher raise in the next review round

* not let him be pushed in a corner where he's being compared to his colleagues. This is a sure loss position. You need to differentiate yourself so that you are freed from the mental chains of other people's salaries, and you can argue a higher salary on individual merit. This is a rookie mistake I hear so often (and that people have thanked me for pointing it out to them when I discussed with them about their upcoming salary negotiations).

(apart from this, it's refreshing not to have post scores visible!)

It's possible, sure, but that wasn't the case in this instance. While this acquaintance and I didn't spend a great deal of time together in college, he was the only person I knew here when I moved (n.b. the job was a few hundred kilometers from home/college) so we ended up hanging out a bit more once I got here.

I came to find out that not only was he not making less than their minimum, but he was actually able to negotiate for $2k more due to some previous experience in summer jobs / co-ops.

The actual kicker in this story, and I'm only remembering this now, is that I actually knew the real number, but I just didn't realize it. This company had interviewed/hired a few people in my class, and I vaguely recall hearing of a different guys negotiations for a number close to what above-commented acquaintance managed to get. So, I could have probably negotiated a slightly higher salary, but thanks to some poorly timed misinformation by our mutual friend, I didn't know my numbers and I lost out.

I'm having conflicting reactions to this article on a few levels. I notice that the entire content of it is simply the cross product of two articles that I read months or years ago, and as soon as he started I was already wondering "is he going to bring up the newspaper experiment...".

So sure enough the whole thing reads exactly as I'd expect. But then I wonder, perhaps it is a sign of my advanced information-hoarding instinct that I have hoovered (dysoned?) up so many of these sort of studies and speeches and clever counterintuitive articles. A mind made up of a vast store of useless factoids.

Finally I throw my hands up and resolve that I am glad to see that this article at least will hopefully expose more people to some very good ideas on living well.
I had a problem along as a result of sharing. My friend was earning half as much as me, and had a child with a genetic disorder which made child rearing extremely demanding. I felt pretty guilty about it.

I don't think that's very important, though, is it? I've seen these books years ago, one example was a blank book called "What men know about women". His book wasn't even that original...
One problem with this is that it cedes the initiative to the company and allows them to anchor the negotiations with a number of their choosing. In the absence of any reliable information on what a reasonable salary would be at the firm in question, this might be the only approach possible. However, if you do have an idea of the range of salaries that might be possible, you can anchor the discussion at a higher initial value, leaving open the possibility of doing better than "base offer +5K" that is the best possible outcome with this approach.

I think one should also have a better opening line than "I don't know, you're in a much better position to judge my worth to the firm than I am." Something along the lines of "I can do x, y, and z for you and my skills are in demand in the current hiring climate. I think that I am worth $xx to your company."

"but I think there is virtually no advantage to employees from our cultural norm"

On average. For (perceived) good employees that have above average negotiating skill, there can be a big advantage to this system.

Heh, there was a comment the other day asking "what could you do on Mac that you can't do on Windows" and I wanted to reply: "well you could get an $99 dev account and have apple sell your stuff world wide".

I guess Windows is getting an AppStore too...

I'm curious though how will Microsoft handle this. In terms of internal bureaucracy and support for non-US developers. It seems that except Apple, nobody (not even Google with the Android marketplace) got this right.

Contact generation is the process whereby, after a collision is detected, the points of contact are defined, which are necessary to simulate collision response(responses themselves are anything from a simple separation of the bodies to an in-depth physics sim).

In the most naive form of contact generation, you move the bodies, let them intersect each other, and only afterwards do something to remove them by finding the points of intersection after they've already interpenetrated. Even with simple situations, this is the source of numerous glitches, and makes physics sims unstable, since the two interpenetrating bodies will both see that they're "inside" each other, create forces to get out the situation, and then collide with other bodies, repeating the process, gaining energy, and making the sim explode, or at least jitter endlessly. (Collisions between many close-by bodies also present other contact quality problems - bodies might "miss" each other and only contact some of the other shapes.)

The speculative contact system described is one approach towards resolving these kinds of instability problems: Basically, it uses velocity information to "look ahead" at where the body will move, and then it adjusts the velocity vector to fit so that the two bodies touch exactly. This can be repeated for all potential collisions, until the minimum movement for each body is found, at which point contacts may be generated.

I happened to discover exactly this technique independently, trying to make a simple game collision system as robust as possible even at high velocities. Velocity appears to be a critical piece of information for robustness, as all the heuristics I tried to separate bodies already interpenetrating led to major glitches when the heuristic guessed wrong. I also tried a very similar method of "rolling back time" by moving the body backwards along its existing velocity with a step-by-step approximation, until the collision no longer happened; this turned out to not be as good as modifying the future velocity vector to touch exactly, as it was cruder, left points of contact inexact, and thrashed the original velocity values, leading to things stopping dead and "sticking" as soon as they collided anything at all.
If you already have something working, why would you ditch it? If you are expecting to spend most of your time doing non-coding stuff to get your site going, then going with a readymade solution might be a good idea. But then you are at the mercy of the provider if you want to iterate fast and add new features.

I'm wrestling with the same question for a project of mine, and although I'm tempted to go with a readymade solution, I fear it will come back to bite me sooner than later. So, even if I go with the readymade option, I will do it only as a way of vetting the idea and quickly move to my own codebase once I get some traction.

I actually don't see what the two have to do with each other. It wasn't even implied that the new employees were hired specifically for that team, which they probably weren't. Twitter is doing a lot of new hiring now and I doubt it has anything to do with switching parts of their site from Ruby to Java.

"I love the fact that OS X will scroll the window that the mouse is hovering over, even if another application has focus. That way I can scroll an example that I am coding in TextMate without having to lose keyboard control on TM"

This also happens on Windows (at least on Chrome) but Windows goes even further: you can click through a link or button on a non-focused window. On OS X, in order to follow a link or click a button on some non-focused window, you need to activate it by clicking and then click again on the desired link/button. This drives me nuts as I found out I use this all the time on Windows. I call this feature "smart focus".

I'm operating from Iceland (http://pagekite.net/), and decided to simply let the user choose: I offer prices in USD, EUR and ISK. The prices are roughly comparable, but I don't bother making them match exactly - exchange rates fluctuate too much and I figured it was more important to be user-friendly by offering stable, understandable prices in a currency the user is comfortable with.

We launched so recently that most of our users are still working through their trial period, so I haven't actually gotten many sales or much feedback on the system yet. So I can't say how well this is working in practice.

I'd love to know if people here think this is a good or a bad strategy, and why.
Hiroshima's "Little Boy": the first in history nuclear explosive device used to attack an enemy faction. According to figures published in 1945, 66,000 people were killed as a direct result, and 69,000 were injured to varying degrees. Total amount of nuclear fuel on site: approximately 600 to 860 milligrams of matter. Milligrams! And a big part of that got aniquilated in the explosion.

Chernobil: one nuclear reactor explodes spreading radioactive materials in aerosol form. Total amount of nuclear fuel on site: 180 tonns.

Fukushima: six nuclear reactors, one of them a plutonium reactor, gets severilly damaged after several eathquakes and a tsunami hits the nuclear plant, starts spreading radioactive materials in aerosol form and dumping tonns of contaminated water to the sea. Total amount of nuclear fuel on site: 7,200 tonns.

Call me pesimistic, but I think this is an entirelly different leage, one that may make Chernobil look like a propane gas escape. And I wish I'm wrong...
There's a good book about negotiating that I think people here should read, it's called "Secrets of power negotiating". I have a blog post that summarises it but I haven't written it up yet, although I hope to do this soon. It's very practical and includes many examples on how to negotiate, including the example you said (create new items of negotiation to move the focus of another one).

For me and this big PHP application of ours, switching from just Apache to nginx in front of Apache for PHP execution and serving the rest directly with nginx was the one optimization that brought the best bang for the buck over all the years.

Memory usage went down drastically and response times got much better.

Additionally, I personally much prefer the syntax of the nginx configuration file (though this really is a matter of taste) and it generally feels like much more of the really cool stuff is built right in (I'm looking at you, memcached module).

As such, I love nginx and I would recommend it to anybody asking me what lightweight web server to use.

Note though that the performance improvements I listed above are not as such specific to nginx: You could probably achieve the same result with any other web server that isn't also your application server. What is specific to nginx is its stability, its nice (for my taste) configuration language and the availability of really interesting modules right in the core.

Congratulations to everybody for reaching 1.0. I'm looking forward to many happy years with your awesome tool in my utility belt.

I don't have much experience either, but here's my best attempt:

Speculative Contacts is a fairly new technique for collision detection - solving the problem of are any objects trying to occupy the same space at the same time? without taking too long over it.

This blog is talking about one advantage of SC, which is stability. Physics engines are hard to write, and stability is one problem that you come across when trying.

Suppose you have a ball falling towards a plane. You move the ball, then discover that it's intersecting with the plane, so you move the ball back a little until it's not.

But now suppose you have two balls. When you move the first ball back, now it's intersecting with the second ball. If you try to solve that, you might run into problems with a third ball, or with the plane again. And so on.

Stability is the problem of solving all these constraints in a way that looks good. Roughly, that means the balls should be touching but not visibly intersecting, and they shouldn't be jittering (moving a few pixels per frame, but staying in roughly the same position). This is a hard problem.

Usually you run the constraint solver (moving things so they're not colliding, but potentially generating new collisions) multiple times to try to get stability, and there are other techniques available. What the blog post is saying is that none of that is necessary with SC: it gives you stable simulations with only one pass of the constraint solver and without running any other fancy algorithmhs.
