I don't really think he (or much of anyone) really holds "the pre-eminence of property rights over competing rights". This is a common "attack" many liberals make against libertarian arguments and have been thinking about it for some time. What I think is really happening, and that appears to be a favoring of property over other rights, is that property rights can be more clearly and positively assessed as to whether or not they have actually been violated; so a "maybe yes-maybe no" decision on a speech issue, may clearly and positively be a violation on a property issue.
The title is incorrect on several levels. Not the least of which is that it is the distributions that determine whether to use wheel, not the Linux kernel.

For example, in Fedora 15 we are now using wheel to add users as administrators who are able to sudo to root. This is easily enabled by checking the 'Administrator' box during firstboot's setup of the user account.

Amazon and Microsoft do not like startups - they prefer to build things internally. And when they do buy startups they tend to kill them. Yes, IMDB is a nice exception, and lately they tend to buy firms and let them run on their own (Zappos) but Amazon got too burned during the dot com runup buying firms that turned out to not be a good match, a la Junglee.

Getting people to /allow/ you to patch servers is like pulling teeth. Seriously.

If the OS itself is so far out of date that you can hardly find patches for it anymore, the issue is even worse.

The mere specter of something possibly breaking is usually reason enough in many people's minds to not prioritize security updates, or in some case, flat out disallow them.

Sadly.

Edit: keep in mind that this is anecdotal, I'm sure there are companies that patch their servers properly.
Thanks!

I actually did go through a lot of them, but there were so many emails / outreaches that it was pretty much impossible to personally respond to everybody. I forwarded most of the emails to a few of my friends who actually did an amazing job of getting in touch and following up. Things have worked out pretty well so far :)

Phone calls especially are my weak point. A thirty minute conversation in the middle of the day is enough to destroy my productivity for an entire afternoon. So I tried to avoid as many of those as I possibly could.

Cats definitely kill native wildlife. There is no doubt that this happens.

You are correct that they may control other introduced species. But that is not an excuse to let introduced species run around uncontrolled. Also this is not a sure thing. If you are in Sydney, there are no rabbits running around suburbs and the rats do well to stay out of sight. Are you suggesting that the local cats will search out rabbits and rats instead of try and hunt the local birds (which I have seen cats do)?

All the introduced species need to be controlled, even if they can help with other introduced species.
about a 350 mile trip, 20 miles per gallon

That would be 17.5 gallons each way, not 30. The round trip is then 35 gallons, which should easily be less than three 15-gallon tanks. Even 450 miles each way fits in three tanks.

Only for short trips does driving beat the cost of flying

I don't know how much you can stick to highways on that DC-Boston route, but when I drive down to visit my parents, each way is 400 miles on 15 gallons. Even at $4.50 per gallon (and I'd likely pay a fair bit less than that after the return trip), I spend half as much on gas as I'd spend on air fare. Then there's the cost of transit to and from the airports (which I'd get hit with again in the too-likely event of a flight cancellation). I'm not sure I'd count eating as a cost advantage for flying: I can pack a lunch in the car if I want to eat cheap. The only advantages of flying are saving three hours of travel time in each direction and having a couple more hours when I don't have to pay attention to anything in particular (I can read or sleep instead of watching the road).

The state of todays base of node (v8) has nothing to do with the concept/paradigm its trying to put forward -- that is event driven web apps. Hence, one must not discard node as a bad solution only because v8 is not optimal in all situations.

for (int i = 0; v8::V8::IdleNotification() && i < 3; i++);

to:

for (int i = 0; v8:: V8:: IdleNotification () & & i <3; i + +);

> In the real world, people usually attempt to solve problems by forming hypotheses and then testing them against the facts as they know them

No, that's how people usually attempt to solve problems in some world that is mostly populated by scientists. It has little connection to the real world.

As far as the law goes, at least the common law and case law, one important thing to keep in mind is that when a problem gets to court you are basically in what in programming terms would be an exception handler. Something has ALREADY gone wrong, and it is often a foregone conclusion that someone is going to get screwed--the law is just trying to determine who to screw the least. You can often only try to minimize injustice, instead of providing justice.

For example, there is a case in contracts that involves a sale of cotton. A buyer entered into a contract with a seller for 125 bales of cotton that would be arriving in England from India aboard the ship Peerless.

Unfortunately, it turned out that there were two British ships named Peerless, both used for shipping between India and England. Neither party knew that there were two ships, and it turned out they were each thinking of a different Peerless when they made the contract. One Peerless was sailing in October from India, and the other in December.

Accordingly, the cotton arrived in England at a time when the buyer was not prepared to receive it. The parties could not agree on what to do with the cotton, and a lawsuit ensued. Someone has to get screwed here, and no one is clearly wrong.

The court decided to screw the seller.

Another example. Three men go out hunting for birds. As they cross a field, two of the men go to one side and the third goes to the other side of the field. A bird flies up in the middle of the field. The first group of two men fires on it. One of them gets the bird, and one gets the third hunter. This was before the days of fancy ballistics tests. Both men swear they were the one that got the bird, and there is no way to tell which actually got the bird.

The third hunter sues. Each of the defendants raises the perfectly reasonable defense that there's no proof that he caused any injury at all to the plaintiff, and in fact insists it was the other defendant who missed the bird.

If plaintiff wins, one of the defendants is screwed because one of the defendants in fact did not shoot the plaintiff. If the defendants win, plaintiff is screwed.

I don't recall for sure, but I believe the plaintiff won. The reasoning, I believe, was something like this. One of the defendants negligently shot the plaintiff. The other did not, but he shot in the direction of the plaintiff at the same time. That was negligent--he only didn't shoot the plaintiff because the bird took the bullet. Furthermore, if he had not been negligently firing his gun at the same time the other defendant was shooting the plaintiff, there would be no ambiguity as to who shot the plaintiff and so this defendant's actions are responsible for us not knowing who shot the plaintiff. Accordingly, it is justifiable to hold them both responsible.

The fission startups out there (most notably TerraPower) do all of their work in silico, and that's representative of fission reactor design in general. Fission reactors aren't prototyped, they're simulated exhaustively, approved, and then built.

You're right, though, that securing the materials for a fusion prototype is less legally fraught.
> Bold, delicious digression from oop - there literally is no relation between objects by identity, only by behaviour via interfaces - not your usual crappy java/c#/etc. interfaces, but rather 'true' interfaces, which are implicitly implemented by dint of a type fulfilling them. This is surprisingly powerful and the simplicity of it helps move you away from thinking about complexities you get with oop that have nothing to do with the problem at hand.

I think you're referring to duck typing, which Python has leveraged heavily for over a decade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing#History).
RuLu: Ruby Conference in Lyon, France (June 25-26th)
The Lyon Ruby Brigade is pleased to announce its first Ruby Conference in Lyon, France. This conference will take place on June 25th and 26th.

Saturday 25th will host the conference talks (all given in English) of Konstantin Haase, Blake Mizerany, Joseph Wilk, Elise Huard, Nick Sutterer, Sven Fuchs and Michael Bensoussan. The keynote talk will be given by Joshua Wehner "Must It Always Be About Sex?".

Sunday will be dedicated to both French and English talks (conference or lightning talks), hacking, coding dojos and the local Startup Weekend group will organize a pitch contest.

If you're interested in talking, participating in any way, please feel free to do so! All the information you need are on our website http://rulu.eu or on Twitter https://twitter.com/rubylug.

Help us spread the word and see you in Lyon!
The author is saying that they won't be relevant and doesn't give any context. I believe they won't be relevant in the consumer market, because I think most people would rather have a droid or an iPhone. However in the enterprise market they're bought by IT, and RIM knows who's buying the phone, not who's using the phone.
If you want to teach kids about hardware, wouldn't it be better to supply them with something slightly larger where they can install the CPU, RAM, etc. Perhaps supplied as a kit. At least that way they can at least identify the different components that make a computer what it is. They might also have a choice between selection different components, say a memory card vs. a small laptop hard drive, network cards, etc. As a learning tool, I think that'd be better value for $25 than a tiny USB stick sized thing. I think the fun of assembling would outweigh the coolness of being tiny.
> extremely fast compiles - you miss this when you go back to languages that compile more slowly. It allows for rapid prototyping and trying stuff out without having to worry about a massive build time.

You're paying a price for this speed: the Go compiler is single pass, which considerably cripples the language and imposes a lot of weird asymmetric features.

And the compilation difference is really still in the ballpark of Java or C#, so it should definitely not be a factor in your decision. Odd that it was a design goal for Pike and his team, but everything is Go seems to indicate that the last language they programmed seriously in was C++ in the late 90's.

What about quotes from a movie, like this one: http://startupquote.com/post/4234103411
George writes (about ayttm):

"When I learned programming, about 40 years ago, it was
important to write small, fast, and dependable code. I had
thought those days were gone forever and I would be stuck
in a world of huge, inefficient programs written by
non-programmers that moved me farther and farther from
what was happening on my computer."

That sounds to me like a manifestation of Parkinson's Law, where any extra CPU speed or memory capacity is immediately filled with inefficient software bloat.
This is sort of what happened when they asked for the new features, we responded with estimates for that work and explained why it wasn't included ... they got pretty upset. Implied WE were the ones playing a game or something, when of course, from our end this is just totally straightforward.

This is really just a variant of the back-to-back ticket trick, which the airlines already have some countermeasures for. In particular: when you don't get on the MSP->DFW leg, any other ticket you had on the same itinerary gets cancelled. When you show up for your 1W MSP->SEA, they may ask you (annoyed) questions. I used to do back-to-backs (I had to fly DTW->LGA a lot) and they did hassle me about it.

You obviously will have trouble checking baggage doing this, too.

>The common definition of “executive order” ...

But neither the President, nor executive orders are mentioned in the First Amendment, which was the subject of the question at hand. The issue was not whether something is un/constitutional, but whether something is un/constitutional by dint of the First Amendment.

The eagerness with which some wish to skip beyond that scope is interesting.
I'd be very curious to see some real-world speed tests (not just one of the "I'm typing on an iPhone; now I'm typing on a Bold" videos) with a decent sample size and current hardware.

I can type faster now on my iPhone than I ever imagined possible on a mobile device, thanks to three things: autocorrect, adaptive key hitboxes (look up the patent; it's pretty cool), and the lack of tactile feedback.

Yes, lack of tactile feedback. Merely making contact with a surface takes slightly less time than pressing the travel distance of a key, and it adds up. In my experience, the loss in accuracy from lack of tactility is more than compensated for by the iPhone keyboard's advantages.
Semantic understanding (including the Semantic Web) will always be alluring, but it's just not going to happen. We can't agree on semantics in real life except in small groups or in very shallow ways. Computers just aren't going to be any better at it until we create something smarter than ourselves.

I'm not saying some of the automated semantic extraction technologies are useless. Some of them are very cool, and it is absolutely the way we should be heading (waiting for humans to tag everything is a waste of time). However, we need to recognize while this path is taking us somewhere good it will ultimately fall short of the vision--much in the same way that the AI field has given us some great improvements without approaching a true artificial general intelligence.
The times I've had a multi-leg flight (internationally), it's always been the same plane. The airline still makes everyone get off, bring in new clean blankets and pillows, and ensure that no one left anything behind. Feels a bit annoying when you just go back to the same seat, but I understand why.
