This does remind me of the "no-native-.NET-support" Windows Sidebar attempt. It failed in the end, but even there one of the first things we did was find a way to host .NET elements in the sidebar (and it was possible, but you had to jump through many hoops).
We will have to wait and see, but I can't imagine there will not be a way to host Silverlight in one of the tiles.

Also this whole "every app is going to be html + javascript" does remind me of the earlies Apple IPhone developer offerings.

Ask HN: How should I manage binary dependencies for my gems in production?
Bundler does an awesome job of making sure all the right gems are installed when I deploy my Rails apps.

However, some gems depend on binaries (eg Paperclip depends on ImageMagick, PDFKit depends on wkhtmltopdf) that may or may not be installed on the system being deployed to.

I've been bitten by this twice recently and need to figure out the best way to prevent it from happening again.

Is there a good way to ensure these external binaries and libraries are installed? Does bundler have any support for it? Should I just modify my capistrano deploy script? Should I include the binaries in my repository and make sure the gems look for them in the right place?

I can think of a few ways to approach this problem but want to know what you think works best, and why.

I currently have a bounty question on Stackoverflow[1] but haven't received much of a response and thought I'd ask here as well. I guess it's more of a sysadmin question than a programming question, but an ideal solution would be part of my repositories and deploy process.

This is hilarious.

The main important point is that it makes a mockery of the security snake-oil salesmen and the government sponsored investigation agencies.

It also demonstrates that legislation is powerless over the internet (something I think everyone quietly realises but doesn't want to admit). They've let the cat out of the bag and now it won't go back in.

The Internet is an uncontrollable, resiliant, self-aware monster with a good self-preservation instinct. It's fighting back against those who wish to control it.

My gripe with PE is that it's made up of specific cases instead of generalized problems. Sometimes, the solution that most people arrive at, and that is accepted by the judge, is one that fails in the general case.

For example, problem 13: http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=13

The easiest solution, and the one given as an example, is to truncate all the numbers and add them as doubles. But that wouldn't work with all possible inputs of a generalized version of the problem. It's not a very interesting solution either.

I think PE trains future programmers to ignore edge cases, which is exactly the thing that causes the most bugs in real world software.

EDIT: googling solutions to this problem that people have posted on their blogs, I find most fall into one of two categories:

1. Trivial solutions using a bignum library or a language with built-in bignums. These are correct but nothing interesting was learned by writing them.

2. Solutions that assert that the numbers can be truncated before adding, which works in this case but not in general, as I noted earlier. The really sad thing is that the people who solved it this way seem to be under the impression that this is a general solution. So the exercise has not only taught them to write buggy code, but has also helped them validate a false hypothesis.

I see a few people suggesting that you start a new entity and have that company hire you. Be very careful about this since the DHS specifically tries to prevent this type of setup. In fact, it is very difficult for a startup to prove that they are a 'real company', and having paid employees, an office (pictures help), and money in the bank are almost a must. I've been through this a bunch of times (even with companies that have raised a series A), and it still took 4 months of writing letters before the case was approved.

Secondly, don't make the mistake of trying to hire yourself as the CEO/CFO/C-something, since an H-1B only applies to a 'specialty occupation' as was correctly pointed out. This means that it is much easier to convince the DHS that you are eligible for a visa if you are 'applying' as an engineer, product designer or what have you vs. a general management/C-level position.
> Compilers are perfectly capable of inlining calls to function pointers.

Does this happen even if the function that calls the callable (in this case sort) is not inlined? This would mean that the compiler generates a specialized function, say sort_{somerandomnumber} with the user-defined callable inlined into, and this seems kind of unlikely to me (while with templates the compiler is forced to do so).

In both your example the body of the caller (array do and for_each) is so small that I assume it is inlined.
Thank you for the link to the paper. I wasn't able to find in the paper any basic data, only derived coefficients. The map is the same, including the "maximal extent" which happened only at the few years the territories were occupied during WWI. The big movements of big amount of people over the territories during the turbulent history are also somehow not addressed. There's a unique history behind each settlement, not taking that in the consideration or not showing what you actually did I believe any conclusion can be generated. I still question some premises and the execution of the paper.
Why are we comparing everything to a ponzi-scheme lately?

It sounds like you are deeply unhappy and have been so for a very long time.

The fact that you are having disturbing thoughts, fantasies and emotions may have more to do with your unhappiness than who you are as a person.

It may even be that they only reflect a fear that you will never give yourself the chance to explore who you could become.

Something which was hard for me, personally, was reaching 30 and realizing that the world was a much bigger place than the one I formed my goals in while growing up.

What you do in the next 7-9 years is up to you.

It may be that it's easier for you to give yourself some time away from the world of making money. It may be that it's easier for you to not make such a big change and instead take on a lower-responsibility role. It may be that you need to spend ten years touring the Himalayas before returning home to become the next Steve Jobs. It may be that you manage to push on through your current misery and realize you were always born to be a multi-billionaire like Larry@oracle. It may be that you need to fall in love with a cute girl and/or boy. It may be that joining the army and training to be a medic is your thing. It may be that you need to go to India and meet your Guru. It may be that you need to join the FBI and fight organized crime.

It could be anything because it's different for everyone.

I read his comments, you should go and visit some truly bad cities to appreciate why someone might argue against them. His other comments are not relevant to the claim I am making, now that I've read them. On weapons grade plutonium, you are trying to put words into my mouth - I can make my own points thank you.

You seem to have some narrative built up of how the world will progress. e.g. pollution and energy use, what China is going to do, what would happen if they don't, what happens if nuclear power is abandoned, how China's economy will develop over the next few decades. And if you don't mind me saying so, you cannot see into the future, you are far too sure of yourself.
Coal can be a lot cleaner than it is in China. However that country's disregard for its miners and workers, betrays a certain level of contempt for human life. Do you think that China will operate nuclear reactors as clean and as well as the rest of the world? Nuclear is not clean, clean is a classical propaganda term for nuclear, like pro choice and pro life camps in an American abortion debate. There is no rule that states pollution and energy usage reduce with better economies and technology, not for China, any of the countries you mentioned, not for anywhere.

I will de-construct Andi's comment that is so contentious for you:
Here is what he wrote:

>>You are stuck in a view that energy needs to be cheap and that energy must be available despite the costs of nuclear reactors for nature and future generations.

The crucial words here are 'stuck in a view' and 'despite the costs of nuclear reactors for nature and future generations.'
It the phrase 'stuck in a view' links this sentence to the following one:

>>This is the classical view of people who see technical progress as a kind of god given fact or as the natural direction humanity must take.

Here he states that people 'stuck in this view' this 'classical view' see
'technical progress as a kind of god given fact or as the natural direction humanity must take' and this is the crucial link back to the first sentence, because people are stuck in this view 'despite the costs of nuclear reactors for nature and future generations.' 'technical progress' here is dependent on the nuclear reactors of the first sentence.

This does not argue against all technical progress, it argues against ignoring the cost to future generations.

to be more specific:
This does not argue against all technical progress, it argues against ignoring the cost of nuclear reactors for future generations.

It's really telling that you berate me for ignoring Andi's comments while I go to look at them, when at the same time saying my claims have no support(in what way - you never said what part is unsupported?) and then informing me that you are probably going to leave the conversation altogether, and ignore my reply to you completely.

To reiterate: there is no forced binary choice to be made between living as luddites, and ignoring the cost of nuclear reactors for nature and future generations. Do you disagree with this statement?

The bigger concern is why you'd choose to get involved with the Lightbank guys knowing their record in Chicago. They led past companies to bankruptcy. They pumped up InnerWorkings and watched its value tank after enriching themselves. It's just disappointing that you'd let them use your good name to build value in another underperforming company.
I don't think there a is a verb in French. We're stuck to 'search on google'('chercher sur Google'), mostly (I think) because the verb wouldn't sound nice.

These "leading economists" have understood nothing about the Habsburg Empire. Nor the economic power of thereof (see China). Habsburgs were ruling by force, but it would have been a perpetual war without prosperity (see Iraq, Afghanistan) if they wouldn't have observed the following.

The premise was, that it has three foundation pillars, supporting each other:

- members of the empire had a common monetary policy, to have a common economy

- which supported a common military power to ensure the "freedom" to

- have a common foreign policy.

If you follow the above, you understand that it is a recurring theme, and it is still the premise as of today.

In fact, the American Empire [1] has drawn from it heavily (USD, .mil, and the current situation). Furthermore, this is the underlying thesis of the European Union: common market, common currency (€), a very discretely nascent military power which is heavily opposed by the USA (but all is in the guise of NATO), in order to have a common foreign policy (most people's interest of this globe do not coincide with the interest of those who shape USA foreign policy [not so] behind the scenes). Even so, aspirations of the Latin American Union and the Arab Union are also taking a page from this book -- though sidelined by western propaganda as much as possible, for obvious reasons. China with the cantons and the Yuan has a very coherent execution.

Regarding the half-life of the empires, the Habsburgs were well educated enough to know their lessons from history. They know the opening chapters of Bainville's bestsellers. They knew what to avoid but alas, nothing can last forever...

My understanding is that you can own a company (or part of one). However, you most definitely _cannot_ do any work for it or take any salary, because your current visa is not sponsored by it. (You can only ever work for your visa sponsor).

Now, what about quitting your current job and having your own company sponsor you? My understanding there is that you cannot have "control" over the company that sponsors you. I quote "control" because this is where things get fuzzy and I'm not entirely sure how it's defined. But if you want to be "co-founder and c[et]o" of your company, then no...

Despite all this, it can be done. You can "game" the system by, for example, having your cofounder be the only (legal) founder and sponsoring you, where you'd be only a "regular" employee. Or hiring and American and claiming that you never do any work (you just have ownership), and that he/she does. Keep in mind that these examples are going against what the law intends (even though only the second is outright illegal), so the government can and will screw you over if they find out.

Long story short: sorry, you're in a bad situation. I'm the exact same boat... It's doable, but you'd be playing with fire. Be careful!
