H3xStack Hacked 20+ sites in a day..
An unknown Indian Hacker by name h3xStack hacked 20+ websites in a day. The only aim of this hacker was to learn the security loop holes. No harm or data tampering is reported by the administrators of the websites yet. Meanwhile, the ICA claims he belongs to them. The cyberspace is still clueless about this ingenious hacker.

that depends on how the hardware vendor has implemented the support for it. Opengl es is almost always offloaded to a gpu and java bindings for the same are also available so u can use them in your ui.
As far as general android ui is concerned it is rendered using skia,a graphics library,it can be configured to use gpu via opengl but most hardware vendors don't do it. so in general android ui is not rendered using gpu but it depends on hw implementation.....pardon me for english,its not my native language.
Indeed, this is correct (AFAIK).

Then again, some people have done it, but I'm not familiar with their particular situations or which loopholes they used :)

In 100 years I'll bet that there would still be significant social and cultural differences between hong kong and mainland China. These cultural legacies live for a long time when they are popular and widely accepted as norms.

I loved reading this article! While I cut my teeth designing Excel and Access applications using VBA, I ended up using Project Euler to teach myself C#. It was a perfect environment to learn syntax and program flow for the language and ultimately gave me enough confidence to be able to land my first real programming job a few months later.
I like that one better too. Can't say I'm a fan of MobileNotifier, it's a change but not an improvement.
Yes, SourceForge sat on their "monopoly" and did not innovate. Yes, they got complacent. But they were so ahead of their time! If I remember correctly, SourceForge even used to offer a compiler farm so you could try to compile your library/program under different environments.

Their mistakes benefited to all new services and competitors. If GitHub had been the first to offer this kind of service, they may have committed some of SF mistakes.

I’m not sure what you are disagreeing with. The paper doesn’t seem to be incompatible with your views.

The column doesn’t want to shed light on how empires work. It’s like you are talking about completely different things.

I've never hand bandwidth trouble with either github or google code. With SF I get an arcane 2001-Era dialog where I choose from 12 options that don't tell me anything - just imagine what this is like for an normal end user.

In any case, bandwith and storage cost falls faster than executable sizes grow, so in a few years this will be a non-issue for competitors even if you assume that it is an issue at the moment.

Neither consumers nor businesses are loyal to Groupon. And the moment deals start to decline in quality, consumers will hit 'Unsubscribe' or 'Report as Spam' and it's Game Over for Groupon. I've already tired of their endless emails and blocked them. I'd be interested in seeing their churn rate - acquiring new customers to replace those that leave is going to increase in cost exponentially.
I'm not sure it really proves any of those things at all, but it does prove that no matter how good you are at something, chances are you will come across someone better than you at some point in your life.

When you thing is security and the other person is feeling malicious I guess it can be an ugly outcome.
You can own anything that it is legal for any American to own (except for guns and a few other restrictions). So you could definitely have ownership interest in the company.

I would look for a better immigration lawyer - IME many of them are on the lower rungs of lawyerly proficiency to begin with and are dumb, fat, and happy as a result of collecting thousands of dollars to basically help you fill out paperwork.

I am in complete agreemnet with you.

All of these giant companies trying to serve individuals at the local level seems a bit complex.

A franchise model for a local operator would be a win-win situation.

The franchisee doesn't have to worry about servers or infrastructure, only sales and marketing.

I feel this web franchise model can be applied to many online "social" business models.
What with all of Groupon's intellectual property, infrastructure, and goodwill?
I wonder if this fellow wishes we'd all STFU about this already. At some point he seemed to realize that being cute is not the better part of discretion.

That's right, but your co-founder(s) can sponsor you, and indeed you them. Provided that you could in theory be fired (a three person board for example) then you can be classed as an employee for the purposes of the H1-B.

No, it's quicksort. It's just not the best implementation of quicksort.
Simple fact: Apple make the best and most profitable products in their categories. The iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Macbook Air.

This strategy was probably chosen by Steve Jobs.
The 'best' part comes from the design team, under Jonathan Ive.
The 'most profitable' part comes from operations and sourcing, under Tim Cook.

They've nailed the mobile sector. They're starting to nail the computer market. People I know who have sworn by PCs for years are moving to Macs - why? They are the best designed laptops available, bar none. I'm holding Apple stock because they are the strongest company in a strong sector. Apple are going to take the profitable laptop market, the profitable music and video markets, and hang on to the profitable portable electronics markets. That's a massive market cap for them to usurp from Dell, Amazon, and Nokia/Samsung. Everyone else will be churning out cheap and cheerful low margin products.
It's not so good, in my very humble opinion.

It basically says that the library should survive because it can be
a) a free internet point
b) a provider of free online access to stuff
c) some things are better as dead tree format

I come from a small town where we _did not have a bookshop_.
If I had not had the small and crappy town library I would not have become a reader, I was one of the few users who actually got them to buy stuff _for me_, so please don't consider me as someone who wouldn't want libraries to survive.

But the above listed reasons are not compelling at best.
The second especially: why couldn't you have a nation-wide public access system? Why is every library reinventing this?
I'll just say, that this blog/paper is pseudoscience, with all the bells and whistles of the formalities [1].

As someone from the former empire, I stopped reading after this:

Custom allocators are relatively easy handle with an API something like:

void* closureheap(void (^)())
size_t closuresize(void(^)())

Or, well, anything else that allows you to separate the step of allocating memory from it's initialization. (There are probably more representation-independent APIs that would be better, but this was just off the top of my head)

And, yes, mutable captured variables will not be shared across multiple duplications. Somewhat unconventional, but given the mental model of copying closures, I don't think it's a surprising behavior.
1. Don't be afraid to show real enthusiasm. Stammering or not.

2. For the design question, they're looking at your architecture skills. You already have a list of these questions, so just try to solve them in your own time. Look at how existing ones are architected. Try to design them cleanly etc.
I don't use Ruby, but... if people have so much time to whine about deprecated APIs, fork RubyGems, blog about it, and spam HN three times a day... can't they just fix the gems that use the deprecated APIs and move on with their lives? It's not as dramatic as creating Internet Drama, but it's probably much better for the community.

The Ruby community seems to have a lot of people with time on their hands (and strong opinions), but it seems that these people with time on their hands just rewrite the same shit over and over and over again. Move forwards, not sideways...
CoffeeScript might give it scare.
Plenty of people selling kidneys to pay for food or hospital treatment for relative. Or flights to Europe.

I think Groupon won't have enough money to acquire competitors because they have to give half of their revenue back to the merchants AND pay back all these other investors.

The "other" coupon companies probably have profitable business models, not based on market-share, but profitability.

It depends what each company's exit strategy is.

The barriers to entry to this type of business are not that difficult, particularly on a local level (which is where the business activity takes place). Show a deal of the day, take payment, print coupon, have a way for merchant to verify coupon, and have a sales guy getting new deals of the day.

This is probably the type of business that does worse at scale.

Here's the key: Make the deal relevant to the city you are spending a shit-ton of advertising in, not some business 40 miles away.

... Reagan Russia deficit spending comparison. Is this what Bush II and Obama are doing to China, too?

I always thought Reagan single-handedly ended communism, simply by saying, "Tear down this wall!"

Who knew deficit spending was they key to defeating communism?

It must be working in China. We finally have the youth engaged in free-market capitalism, selling their own human organs to purchase iPads.

CLucene aimed for binary compatibility with Lucene indexes, and as a result had very little room to innovate. Lucy started out with the same approach, but decided early on that it was better to take the best parts of Lucene's internals while not being bound to all of them.

Some parts will be leading Lucy, and some will be catching up. There's already increasing cross-pollination between the two. It's a very loose port at this point.

WIKILEAKS: U.S. Fought To Lower Minimum Wage In Haiti So Levi's Would Stay Cheap

I've also taken part in the IOI - twice - and like you, am a self-taught programmer (I was when I took part in the IOI, I've since also studied computer science). In my opinion the IOI problems, at least for a competition, are pretty good as they focus on using correct algorithms and data structures as opposed to hacks or mathematical tricks. Brute force solutions almost never produces good results for IOI problems. Edge cases must usually be considered as the test cases used to grade the solutions try to be varied and cover as many cases as possible.

IOI does nothing to teach good software architecture and I don't think any similar competition could ever hope to do that. It does, however, teach algorithmic thinking, use of data structures, understanding of time and space complexity and coding under pressure. (Well, all of these to a degree - like you said, recursion, branch pruning, trees and graphs and the like. more to be desired? Sure! But not a bad start, especially for high school students who are unlikely to have much exposure to problems which would otherwise have forced them to learn these things - I know people even now who, having only ever done business applications, would fail miserably at solving any IOI-like or algorithmically-heavy programming problem because they were never sufficiently introduced to the things the IOI focuses on.) All great lessons, even if there is more left to learn to become a great programmer.

I personally dislike PE because the problems I attempted seemed like they could often be better solved by employing a mathematical trick or insight as opposed to clever use of algorithms, data structures or programming ingenuity. My programming skills are much greater than my math skills, so I guess ultimately, because of that, PE just doesn't do it for me.

You could certainly say that about desktops already.

You could, but you'd be pretty wrong. My mum has a PC, my dad has a PC, my computer illiterate sister has a PC, my brother has a PC, my 9 year old nephew has a PC, my (non-geek) friends have PCs, my colleagues have PCs. And, since personal expamples aren't proof, just look at the size of the market, it's far from being a niche.

Argue the case that desktops will become obsolete, but that certainly hasn't happened yet.

One of the many inconvenient truths about electric cars. We're trading dependence on oil with dependence of rare earth metals.
PHP one liners to impress your friends
"Ninety-five percent of the world’s output of rare-earth metals today comes from one country: China."

These are some awesomely alarmist weasel words. Please note, that doesn't say where 95% of the actual reserves are. Just where stuff is currently produced. (And the history of that is basically China Walmarting the market, by undercutting competitors until they folded and now they're jacking up the price, like the good totalitarian capitalists they've learned to be from Western resource companies).

Let me quote from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_earth_element#Geological_d... ):

As a result of the increased demand and tightening restrictions on exports of the metals from China, searches for alternative sources in Australia, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, Greenland, and the United States are ongoing.[20] Mines in these countries were closed when China undercut world prices in the 1990s, and it will take a few years to restart production as there are many barriers to entry.[16]

Why not? You're not born knowing how to farm, and if a classroom can turn out better farmers, it makes sense. There's a lot more to crop growing/harvesting and animal husbandry than "throw seeds over there, and while you're waiting for plants to grow you can take these animals' eggs."
