Could it also be the fact that good engineers love to optimise design?

Saving another clock or a more complicated divider to achieve the required video clock rate would be a damn good thing to accomplish. Sure money was also saved, and together with a few other such savings, multiplying them all by millions of units, would save quite a lot of money.
Some people would actually. There are lots of ideas I might not be interested in personally but would love to have exist. In some cases, I don't really care if I build it or not, it'd just be cool if a service did exist. It varies from person to person but there are people who don't mind giving away ideas they themselves may or may not want to build out just to see the service exist.
Knowing the password to encrypted data does NOT prove that the data is yours. People often know other people's passwords.
Really good point. I have often wandered the corridors in research labs seeing equipment just lying there collecting dust. I suspect that there will be issues around selling stuff but it is something that we are definitely looking into. Once you have an engaged user base there are a few directions we could take this in.
Ask HN: Need the name of a social network, or social network like website
I'm trying to remember the name of this social network/website. I read an article at work the past few days that featured a number of screen shots from a social network. I remember the article said that it's design was so good that apple should buy it just based on the design.

One feature (from the screenshot) I remember is that you can post an update by drawing on it, besides a number of other possible update types.

Please help HN
Not to be snarky in any regard, but what is a use case for needing to upload an enormous EBS image? Like for some sort of non-deterministic data processing where you already have a large set of data to process?
It's not how I use the term, it's its definition - Humpty Dumpty aside, words have meaning!

> fuzz.partial_ratio("YANKEES", "NEW YORK YANKEES") ⇒ 100

From what I can see, this will also give 100 for 'NEW', 'KEES', 'YANK' - all of which could mean something completely different. How do they deal with this?
Python has had proper closures since version 2.2, which is quite old at this point. You can verify this using the following code:

def func():
x = []
def func2():
x.append(1)
return x
return func2
closed = func(); closed(); assert closed() == [1,1]
closed = func(); closed(); assert closed() == [1,1]
Ask HN: What is the best single hack that you've gotten out of Hacker News?
For me it would be meticulously documenting all I do in my project. It's enabled me to minimize the binge nature seemingly inherent in coding and make steady (even if slow) progress on my 'big project.' While it doesn't come natural to me it enables me to do something substantial, even if small, every day.

What's the best single thing you've gotten out of HN?
"Enter Passphrase for /Devices/DOOMSDAY/:"
> In pre Python 3, the closed over value isn't mutable unless it's a reference to a mutable object.
> Proper closures were added in Python 2.2 (which is quite old at this point), not Python 3.

x is a reference to a mutable object(list), and it's not x which is mutated but what x refers to. Pre python 3 doesn't have proper closures - ways to emulate it, yes. Proper closures - no.
I went to my university's electronic PhD thesis repository, and went down the list, starting with the most recently published, skipping people of the same gender to the last selected thesis or whose gender was not obvious from the name, until I had 10 PhD theses, 5 male, 5 female. I put the abstracts from each thesis into the 'gender genie', and these are the results:

Author male, predicted as male: 4
Author female, predicted as male: 4
Author male, predicted as female: 1
Author female, predicted as female: 1

Obviously, a larger sample is needed, but those results make it look very unreliable - especially compared to an outright statement of gender.

There does not seem to be any impediment to anyone of any nationality, including space tourists, visiting any part of the ISS, so color me doubtful on that theory. People do seem to avoid the cramped Russian side mostly, and who knows what goes on socially that NASA PR hides from us.

Anyway, the US military has their own, apparently unmanned, shuttle replacement and do plenty of launches of secret stuff on conventional rockets. This is not surprising when you consider the relative budgets.

Disposing of the station's trash seems a large enough logistical problem that getting one more shuttle-load out could be the real motivator. Sorta sad to think that the last shuttle will be essentially a garbage scow on landing. At least they didn't stuff it to the gills and send it down to burn up on reentry, like is done with the majority of craft that dock to the ISS.
I'm using Ubuntu, I'm just a total noob that thought since Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V didn't work that all hope was lost. Clearly I was wrong.

Just as another data point we also tried magazine ads in a couple of different journals with lower than expected results. The experience also really made me appreciate the statistics in the online world.

Conferences have been decent, but good old word of mouth is where we are seeing our biggest success. The trick (for me at least) is being able to plant enough seeds to get the word going.
Python closes over names, not objects. This is consistent with the rest of Python, which treats names as references to objects rather than variables which hold objects. I do agree that it's confusing for people used to closures and used to languages with different semantics.
Hmm, yes, I am pretty amateur at presenting so I may have gone a little too quickly. I was trying to be brief because I respect my viewer's time but the app has a broad-ish scope. Anyway, anything you could suggest elaborating on?

In any case, thanks, for checking it out
"Detailed. But wrong...The government cannot prove that the laptop is hers."

I wrote, "the fact that a password works on a particular machine may be incriminating. This is the only line of argument that could work...it could...prove that they did have possession or knowledge of the drive." Seems like we're saying the same thing.

At issue here is likely the status of what constitutes a "Foregone Conclusion". In Fisher, the courts established that, "The existence and location of the papers are a foregone conclusion and the taxpayer adds little or nothing to the sum total of the Government's information by conceding that he in fact has the papers. Under these circumstances by enforcement of the summons 'no constitutional rights are touched. The question is not of testimony but of surrender.'"

In Boucher there's clearly not a foregone conclusion, and the motion to quash the grand jury subpoena was upheld because the password's production was "purely testimonial." Here, it might not be "purely testimonial."

Also, for what it's worth: having a password is certainly better than locking a system via biometrics. At least with a password, the law is (currently) indeterminate. Biometric locks: you're screwed.
This is absurd.

If I have the following code:

@auth_required
def some_view():
pass

And later I decide to change that decorator to be parameterized:

@auth_required("basic")
def some_view():
pass

I have now created a massive amount of pain for myself if I decide to define auth_required() such that it defaults its argument to "basic", unless I force people to call it as @auth_required(), because of the differing callable signatures.

Some people feel @auth_required() is ugly. That's all.

Which raises the question, what if you had a safe that was practically impossible to open without the key? Let's say it's made of 100ft thick carbon nanotubes or it has a really good self-destruct mechanism. Do you get 5th amendment protection just because you have a really good safe? Doesn't seem quite right.

Install and Configure Squid Proxy Server
Proxy server is a an application or a computer system that acts as an agent or channel for requests from clients looking for resources from other servers. Client connects to the proxy server with a service (web, files or any other resources) and proxy server sends that request to the server on behalf of the client. There are many software and applications available on the internet which can be used to setup a proxy server.

At the risk of feeding the trolls, I couldn't help weighing in here...

First of all: you're just straight-up wrong about file transfers and polling. The select(), epoll(), et. al. syscalls are exactly what you want for large network file transfers. This is not the same as naive "polling", but is what most implementers mean when they talk about an event/polling based server implementations.

Even "green" threading runtimes like MRI and CPython can still multiplex threads in the presence of blocking I/O calls, because the standard C syscalls can easily indicate when the main thread would block while trying to read or write.

Furthermore, a "threaded" server in no way has to allocate a full hardware thread for every client. Single-threaded, callback-based systems may fare nearly as well for I/O-bound workloads, but threads still have real value for many if not most real-world concurrent systems. A pool of worker threads can keep both the CPU and I/O subsystems maximally active without forcing a "shared nothing" architecture onto a system located on a single physical host.

In a world of multicore CPUs, limited L1/L2 cache, and fast kernel schedulers, threaded code can stand toe-to-toe with pure event loops for non-trivial workloads.

http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenSegments
I can empathize. I've always found date-related bugs to be the hardest to track down and messiest to resolve. Especially in applications consuming data from a huge variety of buggy input formats ("So it's a server in Australia, but their application layer adjusts time +36000 seconds and their durations are listed in days, but it's daylight savings here...")

"Well, just don't fly the shuttle over New Year's" seems like a reasonable enough workaround for an otherwise highly planned out program, especially when, as a commenter in OP points out, the missions were only intended to run weeks at a time to begin with.
Or, today, an express mail envelope full of DVD-Rs.

30+ Best Sign Up Forms Examples
To make a link between you and your user the basic thing is SIGN UP form. The designers should design a sign up form in such a way that it is attractive and short enough to catch the eye of your user and it does not waste their time. Usually visitors (whom you want to be your user) do not fill those forms which are lengthy.Sign up form is important for any web site to convert their visitor into a user.These forms are equally important for web community as well as for others. These sing up forms are minutely different from the sing in or log in forms.

Any hope they might actually revive Google Reader as part of this redesign frenzy?
The system works pretty well in normal criminal cases. If the defense can show the subpoena was issued illegally the government can't use any evidence gathered as a result. It's a pretty big embarrassment for the cops and the DA, and doubly so if the suspect walks.
Interesting idea, but not a very efficient use of memory. Not only would you have to reserve memory for the ramdisk (assuming you even have enough to store all the files), but more precious memory would be wasted by buffer-caching the freshly-written tarred archives. You'd be sacrificing memory that would be otherwise used to service reads on frequently-accessed RRD files.
Same here. bulldozer got pushed out again, some folks are saying the silicon was underperforming by more than anticipated so they have to keep it I the lab and rev stuff NOW that they had planned for the refresh in 2012.

Then we have ivybridge at the end of this year promising just under 4ghz with 8 core desktop chips from intel.

I expect AMD to stay behind until 2013. They are rushing right now, and not hitting their marks BUT their tech and teams are strong. As that wobble evens our and this new platform (first redesign in like 7 or 8 years) settles down, they can shrink die, point forward and speed up.

I expect 2013-2015 to be a goddamn bloodbath between the big chip makers at the top (intel, amd) and Samsung, Qualcomm, nvidia and Apple shooting up from the bottom with ever faster and lower power multicore RISC chips.

I imagine by 2015 the landscape will be a hodgepodge of every kind of tech out there and then the acquisitions and shakeout will take us to 2020 where things get more homogenous again.

Is there need for an escape vehicle? Just tethering it to the ISS in case of an emergency could work. Who'd fly it down? Would it get damaged just sitting in space? How long can it be left powered down awaiting an emergency so it doesn't malfunction? How could it be accessed quickly in an emergency? How could it be disposed-of eventually? What's the likelihood of an emergency?

shrug. I've found singletons to be good for modelling session data in a web server.

If you're switching your app's hosting over to EC2 and want to transfer your hundreds of gigs of database files, this may be the easiest way to do it.

Also, I suspect the exporting data (for keeping physical backups) may be the more common use case.
The ISS keeps a Soyuz docked for use as an escape vehicle. It is very likely better suited to that purpose than a shuttle.
