Vanilla PHP by itself is a framework (as template language for the web) with many API that vanilla Ruby is not providing. If you will compare both in this way it will be poor comparison too right ? My point is that you can't compare PHP with anything on the market in this dimensions.

PHP could be productive in the past, currently PHP frameworks are trying to fix fundamental flaws of language architecture and my subjective opinions is that they are constantly failing, language can't be fixed by building frameworks on top of it. This is IMHO the big win for Rails, Django, Node.js, they don't fix the language, they just don't need to, they extend it and provide productive framework to complete much different task, build end-user application right ?

Specifically, fails to see evidence that dark matter is made up of Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) which should annihilate and produce gamma rays occasionally.

Dark matter dominates the mass (90% or more) of all galaxies, not just dim dwarf galaxies. The gravitational aspect of dark matter and is not widely disputed.

Ideally, this experiment would be run on a "dark galaxy" which contains only a dark matter halo and no stars, but we haven't found one yet. The issue with visible galaxies is there may be black holes and other sources of gamma rays created by normal matter.
I agree that it depends pretty heavily on who is doing your HTML. That being said, you can just not use the defpartial stuff and instead include Enlive to use with Noir just as well. There are purposefully no constraints on what you use to generate HTML. The main purpose of settling on Hiccup in this case is to provide something that I think the Clojure web community desperately needs: a single place to start and build something. The only way I can provide that start pointing is by making some choices and running with them.

Also, I really love html functions as opposed to JQuery-esque template filling. It's cleaner and more flexible to me.

>Pretty awesome to have a cheap economy, right?

No, it's terrible. First of all you're not mobile. Most any other country you'd like to vacation in is going to appear insanely expensive. Second of all, more and more products are (for lack of a better term) "internationally priced". A Macbook Pro won't cost you much less than it costs me.

I'd much rather live in an expensive place. Then I can vacation anywhere I want because everywhere else is so cheap.

The page claims (twice) that Adobe have pledged to support VP8/Webm in Flash 11 (due early next year). The link they use to support this, is from the middle of 2010 and only pledges support at some future, unspecified point. There's no timescale or version promised. You might assume they meant the next major version, but they've been a bit cagey about it.

From March this year, the same blog has this statement in a comment "Adobe supports Google’s efforts to advance open standards such as WebM, and we have announced that we intend to support VP8 in a future release of Flash Player. No availability dates have been announced yet."

Congratulations. My first contact with Firefox still holds the #1 position for the greatest impression a piece of software has ever made on me (sorry, Linux :) )

It was called Phoenix (0.3 ?) then and was the pinnacle of elegance compared to the uber-crappy IE and bloat-loaded Mozilla. If I remember correctly their policy then was to make every consecutive binary release smaller than previous one.

I don't agree with kwantam: "- Pull out the whistle. Talk to journalists in industry magazines about your company's behavior" - You will risk losing your job.

I am sure every organization has loopholes. That doesn't mean they should shutdown their business.

Since there is quite a bit of money involved one might wonder if someone is trying to profit. One could take this even further, put up his best tinfoil hat and ask how much control MtGox has or had over the market. Is that possible scenario?
Zak's characterization is basically correct. Noir isn't really a replacement for those things, more of an abstraction over them. It was born out of seeing how a real web-app evolved and what was missing from the ring/compojure/hiccup stack as I built http://www.typewire.io. Also, as I mentioned in one of the other comments, I hope that it will serve as the single "package" to start with web development in Clojure, instead of having to try and cobble it together from the pieces that are out there now. By controlling all of it, I can create a much more cohesive and well defined story for helping people get started. I can also share what I've learned about maintaining websites in Clojure and hopefully encourage patterns that avoid some of the pits I fell into.

can not understate just how well written Tornado is. If you are a web app developer, it is well worth reading the source of the project - you will pick up a lot of tips and tricks on developing quick and scalable apps.

outside of the event loop implementation, the framework components are well written - so tornado is worth checking out even if you are running on a more standard type of web server environment or appengine

my own web app stack contains a number of modules either directly from Tornado or inspired by sections of the project

How successful is it? Do a torrent search for any album you want and that will answer your question. I'm not sure the labels really have a solid strategy to combat piracy. So far their threats have seemed pretty arbitrary to me. I highly doubt that their lawyers are involved with any technical system they have, assuming they have a technical system at all. Look at it from a feasibility standpoint, how could a major label possibly prosecute, let alone distinguish, all the people pirating their music? They can't. So far, I think they've settled for making examples out of people. The theory being that if guy A gets hit with a 200,000 dollar fine for downloading a song, other people will be scared enough to think twice.

I think any reasonable person can reach the conclusion that suing all the people downloading your music is an exercise in futility. What will they do? Well, that's the exciting part... who knows? Furthermore, who really cares?

Artists are moving on to better models, the public is moving on to better models. The only thing I feel I can rest assured of is that the major labels need to figure out how they can maintain relevance in a market that doesn't value them as much anymore.
If you keep feeling good because you don't own a stamp collection, if you keep reminding your friends how great it is not to own a stamp collection, then you are attached to stamp collections, just in a reverse way.
Just out of interest, what do you mean by 'way too fast'? I would think that having a fast hash would be a good thing. Or is it because an attacker can generate hashes for some dictionary very fast? Isn't this why you'd use a salt as well?

Sorry if these seem like dumb questions, just trying to learn.
Danger Craftsman Ahead Are Software Developers Speaking the Right Language?
when Tornado was first released, there was a lot of discussion online on various forums and comment threads about why it wasn't built on top of Twisted, or why it was a complete separate project.

I tend to agree with Brett Taylor in that Twisted was too large a project to suit the goals of Tornado, and that its own divisions within twisted.web were difficult to navigate through

the event handling part of Tornado is less than 100 lines of code and is a lot easier to implement and understand than Twisted, although Twisted also serves a purpose. I like and prefer that Tornado is self-contained and focuses on a single use case (returning JSON in long-polls) and does it well

Well, it's kinda like say you have University A and University B receiving funding. University A does some research that B wants to use, so B pays A for access. It's just shuffling taxpayer's money around between two different budgets. It never occurred to them that actual taxpayers - i.e. us - would also want to have access. So there needs to be a way to give that access, yet still preserve the cross-subsidy model between publicly funded institutions.
I can't be arsed with all that. Takes too much effort switching around.

I find myself treating influads ads as content in the websites I find them... and that's gotta mean something.

In the end, and for future projects, I'd definitely be interested in trying out these alternatives... Google is spitting on our peripheral markets. It's a known fact that the most willing to pay for ads aren't the most valuable, we know that from the amount of ringtone-selling-companies to fart-machine-apps stuff we see being delivered by google's network.

I say it's time for companies to help each other by joining a marketplace where their ads are treated as valuable inventory. They know their ads won't share space with fart-machine-apps and alike.

I like this tiny change, both as a developer and a user.

New Study Finds HIV Achilles Heel
Note that there are at least two people involved (excluding Mt Gox): a hacker that managed to gain access to a large amount of bitcoins and started selling them all, and a person that profited of the low price by placing a large buy order at 1.01¢ per coin (so as to outbid sellers at 1¢ but still pay a very low price).

Kevin/toasty admitted to be the buyer, but he is not the hacker (at least, he claims he isn't and Mt Gox seems to agree). The article suggests that these two parties were either the same person or were at least in collusion, but there is no proof of that whatsoever.

That's limited by space and time. Either it's true in some parts of the society or it's true for a single generation or both.

Otherwise, considering economy is the only real variable factor in a society, it would mean that a society never changes.

Once it can capture high speed video of the light field, so that you can actually change the timing and exposure of each shot, as well as the focus... then we'll really be somewhere. Then you can just aim the camera, click the button some time shortly after something cool happens, and go back and get the perfect shot. Hell, capture a 360 degree panorama and you can even aim after the fact!

I liked the discussion of transmitting game state for network play. Quick summary: Doom sent differences of state, which had to be received and therefore acknowledged. Quake sent the whole game state each time, but compressed, so it wouldn't matter if a transmission was lost.

Neither approach seems optimal from an information theory point of view. The Doom approach needs feedback, but communicating at the optimal rate of noisy channel doesn't need feedback. The Quake approach sends the game state redundantly, but across time simply repeats information, and repetition codes aren't optimal.

It could turn out that in this application the Quake approach is best, because for latency reasons it might not be possible to send long enough blocks for Shannon's theory to apply. The Quake approach is also nice and simple. However, here's the approach I have in mind: send the stream of deltas protected by a code that can cope with some of them being erased, such as a Digital Fountain Code [1]. Each message would contain deltas stored slightly redundantly and XORed with previous deltas. If we have all previous deltas then we are set, otherwise we'll have to wait for another packet or two before we can infer the deltas, but we don't need to bother telling the receiver that we lost a packet.

Hashing algorithms like SHA-256 have a very interesting property, they are designed to be extremely fast (even with large amounts of data). That lets you generate millions of hashes per second on any modern CPU (much faster with GPUs). Salting doesn't help much because if your DB is compromised, you are still open to brute force or dictionary attacks.

BCrypt is a very good algorithm for hashing passwords because it's very slow (compared to SHA-x) and thus are extremely time consuming for an attacker. BCrypt also allows to incorporate a "work-factor" which makes the hashing even slower; that allows us to choose a higher work factor when more powerful computers become commonplace.

There are a lot of articles online that discuss this subject.
Actually, this came up recently here on HN, referring to a rather old article entitled "Why TCP Over TCP Is A Bad Idea". Discussion and link to original article here: http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=2409090

Bottom line; use UDP for your tunnels and a proper VPN.
Bitcoins are less anonymous than cash, since all transactions are visible. Anonymous identities may be inferred from known identities in a step-by-step process.
There's so much (unintended) irony in your post. Firefox was supposed to be the fast, light and simple replacement of Mozilla...

And I would be glad if it could come back to this original intent: on my rather underpowered laptop I use mostly Chrome and Safari, Firefox is just way too slow.
The faster you hash, the faster I can run a brute force attack on your password form.
I am no crypto expert either, but here is your patch - https://github.com/ghoseb/noir/commit/f814ea9d1bc7470197eb73... (pull request already sent).

My story's a little different, but equally impressive.

I originally purchased my iPhone ~2 years ago. After about a year of abuse (certainly not the fault of the manufacturer), I had a phone with a smashed and no longer functional screen, microphone, wifi issues, etc. etc. Even the mute button no longer functioned.

Eventually I went into an Apple store, intending to purchase a new iPhone 4 (~$1,000USD here without subsidizing). The sales guy asked why I needed a new phone - had I used an iPhone before? I explained what had happened and showed him my shriveled hardware.

He disappeared out back and returned with two boxes. One contained a phone identical to my own - a white 32GB 3GS. The other had a brand new iPhone 4. He explained to me clearly and objectively that while he was happy to sell me a new phone, he could also replace my current phone for a quarter of the price. He explained that Apple was happy to do this as this was roughly similar to their cost price, and that some of the phone itself is salvageable (ie for precious metals).

I loved that they presented my actual options to me in a no-bs way. I loved that they wanted to make sure I wasn't spending an extra ~750USD on something I didn't need.

Both Apple and HTC clearly want to retain their customers for the long-haul. Sadly, it seems HTC are yet to understand it takes work to do so.
Even if he did ask himself if it was actually private, he apparently didn't attempt to ensure he was right. That should be obvious to anyone. Who doesn't look over the shoulder before talking about a sensitive subject, even if you are alone in a public place?

I have an obsession about checking the door handle when using public bathrooms, which is why I hate the accessibility adapted door handles very common here in Sweden:
