Heading (h1) should not be qualified.

Yes it should, especially if you are using HTML 5 and are using different heading sizes for different parts of your site... Otherwise an h1 in a header (tag) would look the same size as a h1 in an article (tag).
Probably not even close to enough...
The crazy thing is (I believe) large botnets are worth a lot of money on the black market. It makes no sense that they would waste their network to take down government websites "for the lulz". Something is missing about the situation.
When I joined reddit some 3 years ago, I was a Digg user that wanted fresher content. Eventually reddit's minimalist style converted me, since all the Digg content was showing up on reddit.

Coincidentally, I'm seeing myself frequenting HN more often to read actual content, instead of sifting through tons of memes and pictures. HN is also starting to display content faster, which doesn't really mean anything unless you like shouting 'First' in comment pages (even more so now that I'm working, so by the time I visit both sites, the stories are posted).

The community of reddit is nice, doubly appealing when you are having fellow celebrities among your members; however, with the influx of people, it becomes difficult to feel like you are actually contributing.
Nice find, but I think these days surfing with Javascript turned off for the site you're visting is pretty silly.

I think noscript has a place in disabling 3rd party Javascript, however.
I still surf with 3rd party Javascript disabled by noscript. It saved me the other day when I (not even thinking) clicked on a stupid Facebook exploit post. I soon realised as it popped up with warnings etc.
This has been mentioned frequently. Whether it is the case or not, we can do little more than donate a few bucks to the likes of Demand Progress and EFF.

> They also know that it's non-trivial to just stop paying for other services, and that even if it were easy to do, it would be seen as a serious lapse of judgment by our creditors.

Huh? (Hint: it's poor form to disparage something as a Repub talking point and then recite a Dem talking point without providing any support. The fact that we're dueling with talking points doesn't make both of them false - evidence does.)

Every creditor I've encountered says "don't pay them/buy food/go on vacation/buy a new car, pay me".

Why would US' creditors be any different? Put it another way - do you really think "we're going to keep spending way beyond our revenues" is something that the US creditors view as a good thing? (It's not like we're spending on things that will produce future tax revenue.)

The "debt ceiling" is a self-imposed line of credit. How does increasing it make the US a better credit risk?

I ask because the lenders that I've dealt with looked at available credit and refused to loan if there was too much. Why? Because you might borrow and then be unable to repay their loans.

Again - why would US creditors be any different?
Well, that was impressive. 82 warnings, and every single one was wrong. This is not a useful tool.

s/Costumer Service/Customer Service/
I used Clojure for most of my work in 2010. This year, my biggest customer is a Java shop. As much as I like Clojure (great community!) I have to say that I have enjoyed Java's lack of sharp edges this year. Prediction: Clojure will be much bigger, dev market share, in a few years. It is a young language and needs a little more time to keep getting better re: exceptions, even better tools, etc.

One problem that Clojure really does have is that there are other fun/good languages available. Seriously, with Common Lisp, (J)Ruby, Scala, Python, and even Java, there is a lot of competition for developers' mindshare.

For me, the bottom line is that designing and writing software is hard work, and I want to use languages that I am happy using. I started programming in the mid-1960s (I was just a kid, I am not that old :-) and I keep doing it because I really enjoy it. Pick languages that make you happy.
Hm, that's actually a compiler error. If you can't get the VS compiler installed easily I think http://blog.eddsn.com/2010/05/unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/ is your best bet.
But how would you quantify the amount of learning that you've actually retained? Would it not be through some sort of question-answer based system on the material that you've covered, and using a weighted scale for each question depending on the difficulty of the question and how you applied the concepts?

As much as I enjoy learning about computers and circuits in class, how would I actually know I understood how they all interact with each other something without testing myself?

Acing an exam easily is a pretty good indication that you've learned the subject material fairly well.

I'm wondering if LulzSec is a false flag operation very well engineered.
The screenshot is nice, and I'm sure the program will make for some girlfriend-teasing fun. But that's not why I'm buying it. You, sir, are getting my $2.99 specifically for the Alvin Lucier quote.

That, and the more I think about it, the more I'm looking forward to testing out some of Steve Reich's vocal phases with this thing. But yes, Lucier is a hero.
If it keeps going. It will probably work false flag or not.

Agreed, there potentially is a need for some sort of "test" as to whether or not you learned the information. I'm just not sure if the standard question:answer format is really the best solution. Some form of essay or project seems like it would be more effective, to me.
I know one of the responses jokingly referenced Office Space, but it honestly seems like a few people have suffered that kind of work environment and it's affected their perception of things like this.

In that situation, I too would prefer the introvert's preferences. But it's far from an ideal situation.
Well, unfortunately, we don't. But GitHub's API is very terse. We can either read/write to private repos, or we can't access private repos at all.

We've updated the algorithms to not be as concerned to the number of private repos.

Correct. And for most applications running on most networks, without access to programmatic benchmarking tools, you wouldn't be able to tell one app from the other.

"Recklessness", in particular due to youth, is a plausible scenario. ISTM that attack surfaces have been growing faster than our capability or willingness to secure them. LulzSec is scoring a lot of websites but has not uniformly gotten access to a lot of really valuable data, only sometimes.

Hacking websites isn't really that hard. Especially if you're just shopping around the net for vulnerabilities and then announcing what you hit post-facto (a "called shot" would be a bit more impressive). This is well within reach of invincible-feeling teens. It's a statement about the poor level of security we have; this stuff really is way easier than it should be.
I like the parts where he related the 5Ps directly to WP7's development, the context is useful and interesting.

It also explains, I think, why WP7 is such an un-Microsoft product in so many ways, and why I love using it. It's focused in a way that other products from the company just _aren't_, and it's much better for it.

I can load cia.gov just fine. It doesn't even appear to be slow. I opened up the CIA World Factbook then checked their press section & what's new on cia.gov and there was nothing about it going down.

Also, kudos to the CIA for flipping to HTTPS by default.
There is nothing wrong with using previous exams to study for an exam. They are a source of good questions. In fact the article mentions using a test exam! It's the teacher's fault for being lazy about reusing test questions. Many student societies keep a filing cabinet of old exams and I've seen books of old exams published. How about all those SAT prep courses???
They didn't "hack into" the CIA.gov site as far as any of the reports I've read have indicated. They just launched a denial of service attack.

I doubt it, most of these sites tend to be behind Akamai or some sort of similar CDN/reverse proxy network.

This actually serves two purposes:

1) provides some security by sufficiently isolating the actual system from public access (it can be locked down to only serve requests from the CDN)

2) Prevent the type of DDoS described in the parent comment. Akamai is designed to handle the load from things like the Grammies or Superbowl.

For example, it's been documented that the White House uses Akamai extensively.

I never claimed it was. I'd believe an introvert can approach girls at a club, but I feel like being able to do that basically means you're not shy. Otherwise, what does shy mean? You had a small bit of anxiety doing so? Doesn't everyone? Even my most outgoing friends have things like the "3 second rule" to get over approach anxiety.

The problem is that any and all reasonably active subreddits do get more than their fair share of comics and other crap that are dumped solely for karma. Reddit used to be a place where you could get news on any topic you could possibly imagine and discuss it, but now it's nothing more than a mere circlejerk and popularity contest.

The few subreddits with a fair amount of activity that are still good tend to be ones that are primarily discussion with few outside links, like the gamedev and askscience subreddits. There's not much that fills reddit's initial niche, which was compiling news from all around the internet and talking about it.
PR firms don't plant news stories about botnets; actually using botnets to take down high-profile targets does.

In that case, the publicity could translate into dollars.

Why?

Google has a huge problem with missing out on the location data (ie, Skyhook having an exclusive deal).

But Google very plainly doesn't have a problem with other people getting that data as well. There are numerous apps in the Android Market that do similar things, and many manufactures ship apps that dial home with location data (eg, anything that includes ads).
Nice idea, but you're not really asking the target audience for each of those products are you. Best ask the people with the chequebooks in question.
whoah there - 'small talk' and 'social niceties' are two separate things. Not staring at your conversational partner as if you were a homicidal maniac is a 'social nicety'. Not walking off halfway through a sentence is a 'social nicety'. Showing some indication you're listening to what they're saying is a 'social nicety'.

Getting into a time-filling general conversation about the weather is 'small talk'.

The two are pretty distinct, and the dislike of small talk does not mean that the social nicety grease is discarded.

The real problem with combining the CPU and GPU really just comes down to memory issues. Paying for .5 to 1 GB of GDDR5 is no big deal, replacing 8-16GB of RAM with high speed GDDR5 costs more than most graphics cards without helping out the CPU. Adding a separate memory system seems like an easy solution, but CPU's are already pushing over 1000 pins to connect to a MB which are already fairly crowded etc.

PS: When CPU's can hold both a good GPU and enough cache to substitute for vram then Intel wins, until then having a separate GPU is a vary good idea. Because today the choice is either pay more or sacrifice 75% of the performance for about the same cost.
My main experience with Hibernate but I could give you a nice long list of examples. The big problem is that there is a pretense of transparency and simplicity when it doesn't actually exist.

For example, Hibernate tries to optimise how much it loads and saves. This means it doesn't load foreign keys automatically and it has its own logic for exactly when and how it flushes data.

If you are loading an object it will by default not load the collections of objects that are related to it - that will happen lazily when those properties are accessed. Sounds fine, right? Exactly what a good developer would do by default anyway. Until you pass one of those objects around to a naive code module that knows nothing of the database and it tries to access the property - which looks like a nice in-memory collection to them - and it now executes an expensive query on the database that you weren't expecting. In fact, the naive code module might get a whole list of these things to work with and it might sequentially query each one. The best case here is that it's thousands of times more expensive than it should be, but the worst case is far worse - the database transaction might have ended or have been rolled back (which generates a giant exception+stack trace), or the rows might have been locked (which might just make things slow but could result in deadlocks since this naive code doesn't know anything about the database).

The way I see it in the end is that ORMs try to hide some of the most important parts of your software design from plain sight. You feel like they are hiding trivial stuff that is boring and you don't want to waste time on. But in the end that stuff is absolutely critical to your design and some of the most core stuff you should be thinking about. Having it all hidden away makes you not think about it at all until its too late and you've built a whole giant application on shaky ground.

After being through this enough times I am now expert enough to confidently build applications using Hibernate and save time over plain SQL. But the body of knowledge I had to accumulate just about Hibernate is equal to all the knowledge I ever had to learn about plain old relational databases. These days, if I start a new project using an ORM I try to minimize its use down to just being a convenient utility for loading rows and map them into an object's properties.

The one thing I will say in their defense is that when time is your most critical factor - eg: you're a startup with 3 months of runway and your end product is going to be mainly demo ware to get your next round of funding - an ORM like ActiveRecord, etc. is absolutely the right thing.
You're not alone with regard to Ruby. I was lucky enough to start using Clojure pre-1.0 at work. I come from a background where I've done a lot of functional programming. With Clojure, it was a joy to finally use a Lisp with well-designed conventions that I could actually get things done with.

However, I've since moved on to Ruby and learned a lot about its metaprogramming features. This is purely my opinion, but I get the impression that a lot of people who are smart enough to get Lisp, functional programming, and metaprogramming dismiss Ruby as being yet another OO language too soon, before getting to know it. On the contrary, I've found that the more I learn about Ruby, the more it grows on me, and the more similarities I see it has with Lisp.

I guess what I'm saying is, the reason I use Ruby is kind of like the reason I use a Mac, or why I tend to use languages with dynamic typing. There's no one killer feature that I can point to over the competition. In fact, there are a number of features that are hands-down superior in the other. I haven't quite figured out how to explain it to people coming from the other side, but for me, Ruby just hits the sweet-spot on so many levels. People talk about Macs being usable and even loved by grammas who know nothing about computers and hackers at the same time, audiences on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Ruby is similar. On the one extreme, it's approachable to complete newbs. I know designers who would turn their nose up at the sight of code but were willing to learn the basics of Ruby to implement their designs. On the opposite extreme, it supports first-class continuations out of the box, which isn't even part of the Common Lisp standard. Also, a lot of times when I would've needed a macro in Lisp, I simply didn't in Ruby. And that's hard to explain... Sure I can do things with macros in Lisp that I can't in Ruby, but all other things being equal, wouldn't you choose the non-macro way over the macro way? (Sigh... I hear the flames starting.)

I'm not sure I agree with you about state, but it's true that with a web server and db, I've so rarely ever needed more concurrency features. Maybe this means Clojure is just not meant for people like me writing mostly web apps. But to play devil's advocate, maybe it's a good thing to let a piece of software designed specifically for handling concurrency -- handle the concurrency. Namely, a web server or database. This actually forces me in a good way to design my app up front to do any heavy processing asynchronously outside of a web request, which often means a queue, which often implies work divided into small pieces run concurrently by workers (separate processes, possibly on remote hardware, not just using an agent in another thread or relying on shared memory) which may die at any time without significant effect (a la Erlang). ...Again, maybe I'm just not in Clojure's target audience.
i agree. my organic chemistry course in college was great. i attribute it largely to the fact that we used morrison and boyd as a textbook - they take great pains to present organic chemistry as a cohesive whole, with a solid structure built up step by step, rather than a hodgepodge of memorised reactions.
Obama campaign strikes special deal with Google
"forever to initialize a single row" is obviously some pretty severe hyperbole, but the slowness of loading rows into fully formed objects is largely a product of C python's sluggishness in creating new objects. This also has nothing to do with how many rows are in the table, only how many rows you happen to be fetching over the wire for a particular query.

Performance is also something SQLAlchemy is obsessive about, so the speed of loading objects in SQLA has increased by orders of magnitude over the course of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7. If your opinions are based on earlier versions, your impressions may be out of date.
