This article seems kind of poorly written. I guess it's some kind of sparse data structure written in a functional way -- the numerical linear algebra people have been doing similar things with sparse matrices and vectors for decades now. I wish there was more motivation and explanation here rather than most of the post being a monospace printout of digits.

OpenBSD is not owned by a charity, so the founder has to do credibly-commercial stuff to get food money. Selling CDs qualifies.
The specific meaning of "compatriot" as "fellow national or fellow citizen" is not commonly used in the U.S. Speaking generally, "compatriot" is more often equated to meaning "partner in crime" or something similar. It generally has a negative connotation.
Your theory of taxation and funding is quite far from the theory the founding fathers of the U.S. had, which might explain why you find the setup bizarre. I suggest reading some of Thomas Jefferson's writing for the explanation!

We did that because after using git on top of Google Code's SVN backend (using git-svn) for a year or so, we were really limited by Subversion's lack of real brancing/merging. While on top of SVN, we only had two branches, and we did "lose" fixes done on one branch (as in forgetting to forward-port them to the other one) a few times. After switching to git, we're able to easily manage one master branch and two branches per release (so between 3 to 5 or more branches) easily, and with strong merging capabilities (no patches lost).

Today Google Code also offers Mercurial, but we're so used to Git by now… :)
You're right. I'll fix later.

OpenBSD is not friendly to the kind of newbie who prefers HOWTOs, GUI admin tools, etc. It does have excellent man pages and tasteful text-based tools, though - e.g. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/example1.html#allrules is enough to configure a SOHO firewall.
I'm still surprised that there isn't a more concerted effort to get Flash on more devices.

All the attempts so far have been, um, less than stellar.
Considering that Adobe and mobile OS providers have a strong incentive to make it work (basically to stick it to the iPad) and it hasn't happened yet would seem to strongly indicate that the Flash codebase, as it stands, is simply too complex or possibly too messy to make it work reasonably well on mobile platforms. They may have to just throw it away and start from scratch.

Personally, I would rather see a concerted effort to make HTML5 and related technology/tools catch up to where Flash currently stands. (They have a ways to go as the OP has mentioned)

To be more precise, "a context-free parser has to receive a TYPE-NAME token...". A hand-coded parser would be able to parse things just fine if both XX and yy were IDENTIFIERs.

Or, to put it another way, you resort to uglyfying the lexer to overcome definiciencies in the parser.

Html5 is pointless for mobile devices. Html5>Flash>Java>Compiled Language

At this time, most apps are compiled programs because flash doesn't run fast enough on the sub 1gz CPUs. Flash should be even more relevant than it was before as it'll only be longer until HTML5 can do what flash does on mobile devices.

Mobile devices can only increase the life span of flash.

Regardless, Flash > Javascript/HTML/OpenGL/java. It's a great API
The idea that Bin Laden was remotely involved in most of the terrorist attacks over the last decade is hilarious.

It goes:

People get pissed off > They band together and share their anger > They decide to do something about it > They do something about it.

After the fact WE brand them as part of a large effective organization, 01/09/11 did require funding and planning due to the requirement to fly planes and the synchronization of multiple TEAMS.

The Madrid and London rail bombings required almost none (find people, make explosives, pick time/place, synchronize watches).

The activities in Iraq require almost no planning and really demonstrate that there is no globe spanning plan, if there was all the Iraqi suicide bombers would travel somewhere US interests can be attacked more easily. But they don't, ergo 'AQ' is actually a loose collection of people with similar motivation and very limited ability to communicate or distribute funds globally.

By your definition, the politicians are terrorists. I'm not sure I disagree with that.
For that to be valid, in my opinion, you first have to write an integer-to-string converter that also doesn't use multiplication or division. From what I've seen (and written) of such code, that's not trivial.

The thing that I find most odd about this article is that she says someone told her "this isn't a 200-level class, you know".

It's weird to me to hear about CS classes where questions were asked in class or where you interacted with your peers for anything.
I've actually implemented a system like this on isdaily (a news site I'm building.)

I came to the conclusion that using Karma as a score is a rather bad idea as it assumes that people who get voted up have better judgement: "If you post well you must vote well."

But I'm sceptical that this is the case, it's easy to see someone like patio11 has both excellent judgement and a high karma score. But vote power = karma probably means you're giving a casting vote to patio11 if he turns up but mainly you're giving vote power to the people who post the most.

The implementation I have is basically:
"If you made hard decisions in the past and voted well, you get more vote power."
Its not the Dunning-Kruger effect, I would call it the osx effect (or alternatively the nosql or ruby effect). It goes something like this: if you can do something in an esoteric way that gets your more respect (both real and imagined) from people in your community, you will do it and lord it over others who do not have this particular knowledge or skill. The respect you get tends to be inversely proportional to the actual value being provided. (ie osx barely gets you any respect nowadays becuase it provides true value for programmers, using nosql at your startup gives you lots of respect even though a sql/mc combo would probably take much less time and effort to actual get running and fine-tuned). This effect generally appears in the following form: i use osx so therefore I am better than Windows users. I know sed so I am better than cli noobs.

The opposite of this is the windows effect (aka the php effect), where you get disrepected for using a particular technology regardless of how talented or productive you actually are with it.
That would be a violation of the democratic principle behind social news and would incentivize people to game their scores. Members have different interests and expertise, so having a high avg score doesn't mean they are experts in everything (Abuse of power - OMG this is getting more intricate than i thought)
With the term "energy creation" you are ignoring the first law of thermodynamics.

But apart from nitpicking I agree with your point. In the end the whole economy thing boils down to "having the capacity to actually do stuff.", which ultimately requires energy.

Giving a unit of currency to someone is like giving a promise that he can actually DO something later.
In the case of bitcoin, the energy is used (dissipated to heat) during the creation of the currency itself. No substantial backing of the curency beyond that.
But then again this is true for any other currency floating around right now.

Fair enough. Would the problem be fixed if the C standard said that x (without spaces) had to be dereferencing and that x y (with spaces) had to be multiplication?
Useful Plugins To Enhance Your Tables’ Efficiency
When I was working for the last client, I had to make a table sortable. I knew I saw a jQuery plugin do that somewhere but I didn’t know exactly where so I started searching. In my search, I’ve discovered a lot of jQuery plugins that did that and besides this action, a lot of them who would improve the functionality of a regular table making it dynamic and more efficient. I’m sharing these plugins here with you, 28 of them and hope they’ll be useful for your current or future web projects.

Are the positions only available for US citizens/residents? I'm basically what you're after (senior java dev with 10+ years experience), but I'm British.
Well evidently it's still occurring in the Middle East, as evidenced evidenced by the attack in Marrakech, Morocco the other day. This also reinforces the point that they don't just kill westerners, they kill muslims as well. Even if it were targeted at westerners, scaring tourists away isn't going to be good for their local economy.

It's certainly true that terrorists will look for a soft target if they want to carry out an attack. Our air security procedures here in Australia aren't so draconian as the US and it hasn't caused us any problems. Though it has resulted in some other draconian policies such as banning photography in certain public places (such as public transport) in the name of terrorist. Because surely a potential terrorist would make themselves stand out by using a blatantly obvious SLR camera rather an an obscure camera hidden in a pocket or a bag. Not to mention they could just memorise what they see and sketch it later.

This would be way more interesting if, as the article suggested, Bin Laden had seen the tweets and escaped.

I really dislike the redesign :(
It was as if a million C programmers cried out and were suddenly silenced.

Significant whitespace is evil, at least in the context of C where it is not significant anywhere else.
An advice to those who like OP first encounter these topics: try to gain the historical perspective, you'll understand everything much better. Find the sources of the original C compilers, marvel that they are probably smaller than the Yacc and Lex (at least that's how I remember them) and then understand that both Yacc and Lex were never needed for these C compilers. You learn about Yacc and Lex in the school more because of their "educational value" than because they are easiest tools to make a C compiler or parser.

As the original authors wrote the compiler the result of not having the context free grammar was just having a few lines of the code more. Their goal was certainly not an academic "parser" purity. Parsing is one of quite uninteresting parts when you're making UNIX and C some 40 yeas ago.
Does anyone else think this is not important?

The guy unknowingly tweeted but without an official release we wouldn't have known it was Bin Laden so it wouldn't have become that important.

Yeah I find that too. Problem is I cant identify the Chrome windows very accurately, and they keep reordering themselves by last used. I remembered the tabs by position, and reordered them, but the screen views are less useful, especially if lots of them have say wikipedia as the top site.
That book does not imply direct knowing or help..hold on let me explain..The Afghan fighters would not knowingly accept US help to overthrow Soviets..

SO Pakistan ISA brokered US help by accepting US weapons and training and passing those weapons and training onto Afghan freedom fighters..

The source of the US help was the CIA..

So there was no direct knowledge in the sense that Osama did not know any CIA officers to contact, etc..but yes an indirect linkage of stuff yes..

BTW, why Pakistan? When Pakistan got the nuke bomb US policy makers reasoned that it might be helpful to support and help Pakistan to prevent use of the nuke bombs they had and those weapons falling into hands of someone else other than Pakistan..Pakistan's nuke bombs indirect result of China's political help to offset India ambitions.

Yep, I am a fan of retargeting as well (if done within limits so as to not spook your users). So many users congratulate us for advertising Visual Website Optimizer every where on the web: Youtube, CNN, Digg, etc. They think we have big advertising budget. But we really have $500 budget per month. Retargeting works wonderfully as far as brand recall is concerned!

I recommend AdRoll and Retargeter for the same.
Sadly, his real achievement was simply the idea that a small aggrieved group of people are capable of achieving something with the terror impact of 9/11. Before, it was always only in the realm of distant possibility, a far-fetched story told in books or movies. That can never be erased.

Hopefully the emphasis on terror will be reduced, though. Bad driving, bad diet and many other causes have definitely killed more people each than 9/11 since it happened, but it's a lot easier to focus on an external enemy you can see, especially when it has a shark-attack-like amplification on our perception of danger.

The Hot/Crazy Solid State Drive Scale
I was telling my brother earlier today how I have a nagging feeling twitter will end up as the myspace of short-message sharing. From the outside, it seems like a confused org with too many changes at the top much too often. Add to that the main founder cashing out 100M and it sounds a lot different than a founder cashing out to buy a decent house etc. Instead it sounds like a founder who isn't sure twitter's value will increase a whole lot more.

To contrast all this, we have Zuck at facebook providing smooth stable leadership that can clearly be seen in how fb as a product has scaled and evolved. Twitter meanwhile may be scaling and sue that can require significant effort - but as a product in year five, it's a relative fail for the hype and valuation.
I suggest similar to Reddit's anti-spam mechanism, fuzz the voting but give the impression that karma is somewhat important.

I agree completely about Lex & Yacc, and this is the conclusion I came to at the end of the article. Yacc (leaving Lex out for a moment, since it's a different story) is being taught for its interesting educational value, but once in the wild, you just find that most real-world compilers don't use it.

Regarding historical perspective, unfortunately it isn't so easy to gain. I actually consulted a lot of comp.compiler discussions from the early 1990s, but most links in them point to various non-existent FTP sites :-/
