That's not very useful limit.

First, the hottest temperature recorded was probably in some place like Death Valley, so the humidity was probably very low. Thus there isn't nearly as much water is the air as indicated by the saturation pressure.

Second, if you somehow did manage to have hot air fully saturated with water mix with very cold air, the hot air has much higher heat capacity (due to all the water in it). One cubic meter of -83C air has a mass of roughly 1kg, so a heat capacity of 1kJ/K. The heat of vaporization of water is about 2000kJ/kg, so by the time you'd condensed about 70g of that water, the cool air would have heated up to +55C (and that ignores the heat capacity of the hot air and the water).

So it's pretty safe to say, yes it's a limit but not a very useful limit as it is so far above what's physically possible.
Yesterday's discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2661364
The shader models in XNA D3D and WebGL are pretty similar. One travels as pre-compiled bytecode and the other as text, and there are some differences in how loop constructs work, but they're both basically shader model 2.

But the argument I read from MSRC wasn't about the capabilities of the system when working as intended, it was about weaknesses in OEM/IHV drivers causing unintended behaviour that is qualitatively harder to fix than bugs in the drivers for hardware H.264 decoding. I haven't yet found a way that HLSL/XNA is more robust than GLSL/WebGL, and I've been in threads about those shader models for quite a while now. Of note, perhaps, is that on Windows we compile GLSL into HLSL and then effect bytecode (with Microsoft's compiler) and feed it through Direct3D. It's a very very similar pipeline.

The claim is that driver blacklisting hasn't been used to address recent vulnerabilities, but...the recent vulnerabilities have had nothing whatsoever to do with problems in a driver.
If this was the failure mode experienced by most drives that fail, though, it wouldn't happen for years and even after you were no longer able to write to the drive you would still be able to read from it. This might be how the more reliable Intel or Samsung drives end up failing, but all evidence is that the failure modes of the highest performance but less reliable drives seem to be more interesting than that.
The implementation of these algorithms is relatively straightforward. The challenge is the state of the art in computer vision is not currently at a point where it is possible to reliably detect 10s-100s of object categories in real time on current systems. It is currently possible to build systems that get decent real-time performance on detecting a few categories concurrently, or offline systems that get around 60% accuracy across hundreds of well-defined categories. Thus, (1) faster general purpose hardware, (2) better algorithms, or (3) running the best algorithms in ASICs designed for CV is necessary. The top labs now typically use GPU clusters to train / run their algorithms, with the computationally expensive stages usually being feature extraction and/or classifier training.

Google Predict (http://code.google.com/apis/predict/) offers a general machine learning API geared towards those who want to apply machine learning to their applications without subject-specific knowledge. I've not used it so I can't speak to its accuracy, but it is not geared towards computer vision and I imagine it would fail miserably at such tasks (since computer vision is highly dependent on domain-specific feature extraction techniques), and I imagine it performs well at NLP tasks. The primary limitation of such a system is that it acts as a black box - you throw data in and get answers out without any knowledge of the process behind it.

This black-box model is limiting for three major reasons. First, depending on the domain, incorporating domain-specific knowledge can greatly improve performance. Secondly, it is hard to understand the limitations of such a system. Many ML algorithms can fail catastrophically when the input is substantially different from the training data, and the black box makes it hard to understand when the system is likely to fail and adjust accordingly. Third, in many cases you face a tradeoff involving speed, memory, and classification/regression performance. This tradeoff is automatically determined for you and is not transparent.

I've been considering a general ML system that offers an API similar to Google Predict, yet is transparent in the feature extraction / model selection stages for those that would benefit from digging deeper into the system. Is this something that you would pay for?

Specifically for computer vision, there's a variety of startups and companies working on providing a system for object recognition and classification. One example is http://www.numenta.com/, though when I tried there software about a year ago it did not seem to function very well compared to the state of the art. Others that are making visual search type applications include http://www.tineye.com/ and http://www.kooaba.com

MSRC didn't say it's not worth it. They said it couldn't survive the SDL process or be securable, which is the standard for technologies they deploy. Given that they deploy those pre-existing technologies and added more in IE9 (WOFF, accelerated H.264, accelerated canvas), and given that they have to pass SDL review, I think they are being unhelpfully inconsistent.

(Does MSRC ever make the worth it/not worth it call? I thought they just analyzed the security side, and didn't make the product decisions.)
While there are some startups that aim to make big, obvious improvements in people's lives (biotech, for example), any startup that hopes to find lasting success must be based on creating value for users. More often I think that it may be in a seemingly small way that your service or product helps improve people's lives - but for those users who really need it, it may not seem so minor.

For example, my current project, http://inthatbox.com, aims to help people organize their storage boxes/containers/etc.[1]. That may seem like a minor improvement in a user's life, but if you've ever moved a house with dozens of identical cardboard boxes or if you've ever spent hours searching through a closet or storage unit for something you know you've got somewhere, our product won't seem like such a small help any more (we hope!).

[1] Currently just an iPhone/iPod touch app, but very soon we'll have an integrated web app, an iPad app, and then eventually an Android app as well.
Is merely repeating these past mistakes a high enough standard for a new technology?

In a word, yes. Computing needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the future of platform independence, and powerful 3D acceleration is an important component of a modern desktop system. The lessons learned in the previous rounds of new technology can be applied to mitigate some of the risks associated with WebGL.
I disagree with the notion that it's OK to adopt a flawed standard just because no better proposal exists. A better proposal could most certainly exist if it was agreed that it should exist and resources were committed.

The OpenGL API has a ton of legacy baggage. Nearly all of GL 1.0 is deprecated and some parts of the API have endured multiple cycles of deprecation. Improving on it would not be difficult.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you when it comes to being a professional developer, and neither am I equating programming with art, but you've just argued against being an artist and creating art for art's sake.

There is nothing inherently wrong with pursuing something out of pure passion. If we all thought like that, if all of us religiously avoided being "That Guy", the world would be a much less interesting place. Some of the people I admire the most, who's work has inspired and enriched my life have spend all of their lives being "That Guy".
7 Ingenious Resumes That Will Make You Rethink Your CV

It's a little bit hypocritical. But can we stop _this_. If you don't want to read articles about distaste of desktop linux. Don't click the link and/or downvote.
Find out what your customers have. I'd expect them to be old, fuddy-duddy, with Php 4, but some of them might have up to date people like you. I've been taught this is the time to do a survey of your target buyers.
Give up or don't give up, but agonizing about it accomplishes nothing. 6 months ago I received a new laptop that "just didn't work on Linux." I did a lot of research, tried different distros, hacked on it a lot, and now it is a dream to use, gets excellent battery life, and even suspend/resume work beautifully. Hackers don't agonize over this kind of shit, they get to work. If you don't want to invest the time, your choice is investing your $$$ in a Mac. Personally I am so happy with my laptop now that if someone offered me a brand new Macbook Whatever, for free, I'd say "No, thanks." Seriously.

Good luck.
It's hipper. More trendy. Lets you write blog articles that make it sound like you're cutting-edge.
'Working on a startup' Is The New 'Working in finance'
I can relate pretty well to these idea stages. The first iteration of any idea is usually wrong or at the very least incomplete. The "Getting to know you" and "Friends and family" stage usually do a pretty good job of transforming the idea to something great or recognizing that it isn't a useful idea after all.
If you're already running a dozen sites on one server, collectively they're probably not getting very much traffic. You may very well be able to use a large number of processes just fine.
it's pretty easy to add multiple upstream servers to nginx. If you're at that point you want to be reading the docs and understanding what's going on anyway.

Also gunicorn wants n+1 workers, where n is the number of cores you want to devote to it. It's in the docs. So an 8 core machine would want 9 workers.

If you've got multi server scaling issues, cut and paste won't help you.

Fargren,

Actually all SSDs have to do this. The failure rate on NAND memory is so high at the higher densities that are being used now, that it would be impossible to ship a drive that didn't do it.

You can learn more about it here[1] - while that is a review of the Vertex 3 (SandForce SF-2500 based SSD) the approach (de-duplication, write load-balancing, etc.) is same for all the controllers out there.

There is another awesome article Anand did explaining all the features of some of these higher end controllers and how much work they actually do, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I'll follow up if I do.

Oh god, not more unreadable busy looking mashups of images and words as a resume. The only reasonable looking one is number 6, but the rest are too hard to read at a glance.

The thing to remember is the person reading them is probably only spending a few seconds glancing at them to pick the some for the next, more in-depth, round, because they probably have way too many to go through to take longer. At least, that's how it was when I was involved in the hiring process and one of these reusmes would never have got through to the second round simply because I wouldn't be able to get any useful information from them at a glance and would not have time to decipher them.

Sure, they look pretty, but it doesn't help bring the information across in a clear way. At least, I find it pretty hard to pick the details I'm interested about out quickly.

When writing a resume, I think you need to keep in mind that the important information must be 1) at the top and 2) very clear and easy to read at a glance.
I'm sure nobody is surprised that the most common passwords are "123456", "password", etc. There is a perception in communities like ours that the average user is completely inept and shouldn't be trusted to create a secure password, but I have to wonder how many of these passwords are actually designed to be secure.

I often use enormously unsecure passwords when "signing up" for sites that require registration to continue. I've probably created dozens of accounts around the web with logins like 'qwerty:qwerty' or 'qwer4321:qwerfdsa'. This isn't because I'm a moron, it's because I will never need to access the account again and I therefore don't care about security. "qwerty" is easier to type into a password field twice (for confirmation) than "glxCdsXX3_2".

I would be interested in seeing an analysis of the actual usage of accounts with the most common passwords. It would be interesting to have a bot log into a large amount of cracked accounts and download any usage history or generated data that would indicate how often the account has been used. My guess is that a significant number of the common-password accounts would have the same date for "first created" and "last login". That data could be used to weight the frequencies of the common passwords and paint a much more interesting picture.
A lot of people use apache+nginx+mod_wsgi combination, but it seems to me that's more complicated than having just one web server. Apache might be more versatile, but if used with wsgi, and if you use nginx as well anyways, I don't see the need for all the bells and whistles apache has?
oops i've apparently misunderstood what you were asking.

you want something like:
include /etc/nginx/vhosts/enabled/*

and just put your server directives into files that are in enabled.
Obviously GAAP rules are not the end all and be all of reality but this article seriously made me step back and marvel at the audacity of some of the companies. Loose accounting seems to present before every bubble stretching back to the East India Company.

I don't think AMD or NVidia want to be blacklisted in WebGL implementations because their driver isn't secure enough.

Only one or the other could get blacklisted. If it was both of them, what remains? The Sandy Bridge GPU? WebGL needs them more than they need WebGL.

Apache is also very well-tested and extremely reliable. For some people and organizations, that's a very important factor.
I was at a startup in 94/95 where we made something a lot like protocol buffers, with a multi-platform, multi-language (Java / C++ / COM) API on top of it. Was very friendly -- very JSON-like -- and worked really well, up to tens of thousands of messages a second through then developer-class Pentium boxes.

I think you can still go fast without being nasty. Whether there is money in it is another question.

I think companies (yes companies) like System76 are the only real way forward for Linux On The Desktop but I think that they tend to get ignored in this discussion. Linux already has prominent commercial backing (Red Hat, Canonical, IBM, etc.) for server-focused systems and applications. And indeed, in this arena Linux has been very successful. Where these sorts of complaints should fall are directly on system builders (the Dells of the world). When someone hears about Linux, it should be possible for them to go to a store and maybe check one out.

Think about the last time you bought something. Did you go to a shop and kick the tires a bit? When I wanted an Android phone that was unconnected to any particular carrier, I was lucky enough that Best Buy was partnered up with Google. I could hold a Nexus S and see if I liked it before I bought one. This hands-on experience matters. Your local LUG is trying to get the word out, but they're volunteers. We need more businesses who have a vested interest in selling Linux to regular users. When they are, then the product will be a better fit for those users. This is the difference between 'The Spirit of St. Louis' and American Airlines.

Full disclosure, I bought a System76 machine and I'm very happy with it. It's good hardware and it all worked (and not just "works for me", but really worked). Getting a product like this is a good fit for a certain type of computer user. I have owned and bought computers before. It's refreshing to get a new computer that doesn't have layer upon layer of crapware pre-installed and I wasn't in need of some fetishistic unboxing experience; it came in a box that, when opened, it worked out of.

you're aboslutely right this problem IS solved.. however not at any price NEAR what this costs ... this one came in around $600 where the BIOTEK liquid handler i based it off of is $5000, so were talking almost an order of magnitude cheaper :D

If you're already comfortable with PHP, I'd probably focus on symfony2, ZF2 or Lithium (zf2 is certainly not stable yet, but might be worth investigating anyway).

I've worked with Grails a lot and like it. Been working with Rails some and while many principles are the same, there's a lot of differences (from grails, php frameworks, and others) which have not really endeared it to my heart. But it certainly fits some peoples' style.

Most modern frameworks are probably worth getting your head around - it comes down to personal preference in the end.

I'd also suggest spending more time getting good with a JS framework, and if there's some good interop between that framework and your server framework of choice, all the better.
With our Entrepreneurs Unpluggd events (http://www.EntrepreneursUnpluggd.com), we're looking to help entrepreneurs succeed.

From my own experience, I've found that being around like minded people who support you, help you, and believe in you makes entrepreneur-minded people happier, which in turn can lead to better family life, etc., and ultimately, improving lives.

We hope to create this atmosphere at each of our events and help entrepreneurs move forward with their work.
That is probably true CPU wise, I am just worried about memory. If each process is 50 MB and you have 12 servers and 9 processes per, that is over 5 GB. If my machine only has 4 GB of RAM some of those processes must be in the swap file.
Haha, take it just a bit farther. When you get hooked on a tiling window manager, all this twisting in the wind over what KDE/GNOME 3.0/Unity will do next really evaporates. The "surface area" of the GUI is so small there's very little to find issue with.

Sadly, I'm going to say MVC.NET. Simply because it's something you can bet on. And it's also something you will always find smart people be able to help you improve and fix your product.

I'd stay away from newish technologies like node.js (even though I love it), also I'd stay away from frameworks that have had their days (CakePHP). NodeJs has fell over a few times on my dev server for unknown reasons. When we talk enterprise app, that's just a big risk.

I mean you seem to know php. So maybe PHP is not bad to keep betting on. Make your own home brew of MVC framework that is lightweight and fits your needs. CakePHP comes with the sources.

Also Code Igniter is a framework I respect, once again in PHP. Developers for it seem harder to find though. Finally there is Zend. I prefer Code Igniter over Zend because I find Zend too complex, but it's also a perfectly good option.
LOVE this idea! Something like this would make a world of a difference in moving. Definitely going to use it next time I move.
It doesn't matter if all the kids do is play Tetris on it all day. Most of them will. Thats how they learn, thats how they will pick up the technology. Then the curious ones will try to download more games for it and in the process figure out that Android is open source and that they can make their own games for it.

That is when the real purpose of these tablets comes into play.

I remember I got my first computer in grade 2. All I did was play games. By grade 10, I was setting up my own http/ftp/email servers. Then I tried installing mac on windows. By grade 11, I knew everything that went inside the box. Now, I'm studying computer engineering.

All kids need is support (infrastructure for education), they are already curious enough to take whatever it is you give them to the next level.
