Alexa doesn't count the internal traffic, like financial transactions. Their website is a tiny tiny share of that traffic. Just think of all the credit card transactions happening all over the world.
That's exactly what Lodsys would like. If Joe Startup sees a patent lawsuit and Apple is offering to pay the bills, heck yeah, just let them take care of it. In which case, all the money likely goes to a patent troll for them to scoop up more and repeat the cycle.
I wouldn't even need ^i and ^b. I wish they added a Markdown "syntax" mode. And it could be interesting if you could download the history as a git repo.
The 4GB download when all you actually want is GCC is also pretty painful.
It really depends how they attack. They might have found some URLs that require a lot more resources (CPU or I/O) than your normal user behavior.
I had the opposite awkwardness: I was "hired" at a company 8 months after I interviewed.

Needless to say I instantly "quit." Somehow they didn't see a problem with waiting that long, which further informed my aversion to working there. :)
Explitationware? Put that way, isn't every extrinsic motivator an exploit? Bonuses at work, financial targets set by others that are your responsibility, grades in school from the perspective of the student, "awards" in Khan Academy, all advertising, etc. Do you agree?

Have any of the "official" (whatever it means) Twitter accounts said anything against FacebookOp?

No. FacebookOp has gone entirely unmentioned by #AnonOps. Not because #AnonOps is unable to post - both Twitter and the blogspot account have posted multiple times about the London mess today.
I think restaurant customers find restaurant websites, largely irrelevant.

Who the hell picks a restaurant by conducting a websearch to compare features as if entrees were laptops? I'm sure someone does, but most people pick a restaurant because they have been there and know what they are in for, or because someone they know has been there and recommended it.
datatables is far superior imo.
Developers Frustrated By Android Market Payment Issues
I applaud them as well. It's better than just sitting on the sidelines (see: Google & Microsoft) while their "partners" get sued.

But, let's not forget there is a lot for Apple to lose in this if Lodsys is victorious. If developing iOS apps becomes a patent minefield, AAPL stands to lose a lot of money.
Isn't "Anonymous" anyone who claims to be it?
I really don't buy this as a... 'full force,' if you will, attack by Anonymous. I would want to see this confirmed by sources like https://twitter.com/#!/anonymousirc before I believed it to really be an 'Anonymous' 'movement.'

Of course, their strength is also their weakness. Without any names, what is and is not 'Anonymous' can forever be questioned. Like others, I want to say "they are too smart for this," but then they ('they') also attacked Amazon a few months back and that certainly did not go as well as the Visa attacks...
All of the array_* functions, as their names suggest, only apply to arrays. Underscore methods work on arrays or any Traversable (Iterator or IteratorAggregate) object. It's nice to have.

RecordBreaker: Automatic structure for your text-formatted data
A Very Brit Response to the London Riots – Operation Cup of Tea
What's the proper fix here?

My knowledge of proper usage of volatile in C is weak. Does it have something to do with the fact that sizeof bool < sizeof int on most platforms?
I am responding to the blanket claim that the contract is unenforceable because CA has at-will employment. That there are specific exceptions to the general rule is not important re above.
Ok so my basic question is, why can't OSX be a "hacker" os? Or even windows for that matter? Not having source has at times made things more fun to explore. Look at the sheer creativity of virus writers.

Why is having a workstation that you don't need to babysit due to version upgrades a bad thing? Note I've used linux since 1997ish, might have been sooner I can't be arsed to check.

Note: I run with chrome/emacs/iterm/vmware basically, and my "day job" gives me more of the linux kernel and scsi/fibre stack than I'd really like. I've dug through enough of their sources fixing problems we encounter that I hope I at least get the title of honorary hacker.

But complete understanding of everything I run? Meh, there is more to life than that, maybe I'm getting old, but administering my home machines has gotten less appealing as time goes on to the point that I really just want to see things mostly working without me needing to spoon feed things.

I can setup a new mac in about 30 minutes. Course I can do about the same on linux. Mostly just a git clone and run a few scripts and I'm setup. As far as distros, i've had them all blow up in one way or another, debian, gentoo, linux from scratch, arch, ubuntu, opensuse, suse, redhat, fedora, centos, those are all I can remember using at the moment. The one thing I've found is after 6ish+ months of updates something managed to break my xorg config or nvidia driver installs. So far Arch is the only one that makes updates simple enough.

Sorry got on a bit of a rant there. And for that upgrade unavailable, the laptop I'm typing this on just got a new lion install from leopard via a usb drive. Yes I couldn't upgrade it, but to be honest I don't do anything overly too off the wall to care. No need to have snow leopard, just do what I did for friends that bought it after they installed it, get a buddy to burn the dmg to a usb drive, or dvd I guess.
SXSW Peeps Book is Published

Most people understand that Stock Price relates to current assets AND expected future returns. What most people miss, is that the value of future returns vary's based on the price of other investments. Conciser if 3 year US treasury bonds had a yield of 17% then the value of most stocks would tank as their future earnings become less valuable today.

So, when the market crashed the value of Apple stock drops even if their future earnings are unaffected.
Taking something apart is vastly easier than putting it together. Just because Anon is small doesn't mean they can't find an exploit.
Cloudera/RecordBreaker - GitHub
I think there are a few reasons

1. Mac UI looks good, browser fonts look good there too
2. A lot of open source stack developers use OSX as their dev machines, so the code has already been tested there
3. Since OSX is BSD, a lot of the same server code runs, and runs well on OSX, so demos can run well with everything hosted on the same machine without needing VMs or other tricks.

Windows can do all of this too, but some stuff doesn't work as easily on Window. Microsoft server stack runs great on Windows, but 'the cool kids' are all running open source stacks.
So if we assume these people have any idea what they're talking about, it's some kind of SQLi attack... presumably mySQL? I wonder at what point it'll occur to them that Facebook mostly serves data from memcached.

Uh... did I get something wrong here? A correction or something would be nice.
Password are not usually stored in a separate table, they are usually just a column in the users table.

What you do is make a view that does not include the password column, and give them access to the view, but not the table.
Man, I was looking for something like that just a few weeks ago, and somehow completely failed to find it.

The exact phrase I sued was "install GCC without XCode", which turns up, not the project, but a bunch of stackoverflow questions asking whether such a thing is possible. Most of the answers are pessimistic or involve copying it from installation CDs that didn't come with my Air.

The first result now has the correct answer, but said answer is but a few days old! :)

Thanks!

I really want to learn sprout core for my next personal project, but I think I'll wait until development on 2.0 settles down and all the docs are updated.
You're missing the point which is: when Google was funded, it wasn't Google, the king of search, as we know it today, but yet another search engine in a saturated market, started by 2 academics with no business background.

The reason they were founded was that they convinced the investors that their plans and ambitions go beyond what they've built so far.

It's a remarkable lack of imagination to not see a potential in a good, collaborative web editor. Sure, if they don't ever write a single line of code, it's not going to be anything special. But they probably will and they probably have many ideas on how to move this project forward.

An obvious evolution would be to turn it into a web-based IDE, competing with the likes of cloud9.

Or they could make it an embeddable editor widget usable by others (it's surprisingly difficult to build a decent web-based editor and a lot of web-based software (a forum, a commenting system, q/a sites) needs a good editor).

Or many, many other possibilities. Stop thinking of it as a finished product. Think of it as a first step in a thousand-step journey and try to imagine what the other 999 steps could be.
I run KeePassX on my Mac without trouble.

My stance is not that it doesn't matter whether a site has proper password security. My stance is that I know what I can control, and what I cannot. I will never know the authentication systems behind the sites that I use, and I know that all it takes is one bad actor for my password to be exposed. Since I can very very easily store my passwords in a password database (which can be accessed from my PC, Mac and tablet), which is something I can control and something I can trust, I know that should a site have a mishap where my password with them is exposed, that the damage does not have the same kind of catastrophic, far-reaching consequences that it would for someone like yourself who uses the same password across many sites and trusts that all site developers both large and small will do the right thing when we have seen, time and time again, that they will not.
I assume that's a side effect of how the execution context is restored? If a nonvolatile local was stored in a register, and passed by address to a function that modified it before longjmp(), then the saved register value would clobber the updated one.
And so again it boils down to difference in concept definition: Is a 'best' dancer one who is into the music and connection or the one who's mastered the moves? Treat question as rhetorical.

Have We Crossed the 9 Planetary Boundaries?
I'm having a very hard time thinking of an example where you'd free an rvalue. Function return, maybe, but without using the value? It (almost) had to be an lvalue in order to get the malloc into it. Ah, an unconst cast. free((void *)constx), but lots of compilers don't catch that. Is there something else you were thinking of?

There's also people doing stupid shit like free(&x), but those people don't need evil macros to dick up their code. :)
You can't access the source code of an app by just using a SQL injection if the database account is set up correctly.
The fidelity seems to be better on OS X than on Windows, and therefore the site justs looks more crisp. Its something that I noticed testing websites on both Windows and OS X.
I can say the same thing (open-source stacks) about Linux, and not many Linux demos are out there

Ask HN: What are your favorite political websites?
I am looking to contact some blogs and websites to try and promote a political satire website I am working on (http://thewashingtonfancy.com/) and was wondering where everyone else goes for their politics.
Is the fact that Apple earns revenue from the 3rd-party developers' sales material to the case for either party?
Chances are, that's what the developers are using to build the product. Same with the people making the screencast, if this is a different party than the developer(s) themselve(s).
Look at it from a different perspective. Is Groupon now going back to old applicants because they're having trouble recruiting new talent? Groupon hasn't exactly been a cinderella in the news lately with their phony accounting metrics and questionable concerns about the viability of their business. Perhaps they have outgrown their employment base. Hard to imagine considering above 9% unemployment but just a thought.
Apple has a licensing arrangement with Intellectual Ventures to keep them from being sued by the patent trolls that Intellectual Ventures sells patents to. It's freakishly unlikely that anyone at Apple got the idea for in-app purchases from this patent, never mind that the patent itself is likely invalid for any number of reasons.

This isn't about who innovated what. You're watching a protection racket in action.
Pinpoint Enables Even Deeper Linking on the Web Through the Use of CSS Selectors
Really they would probably do better with something outputting xml/json and getting their items/ prices/ location/ operation hours on every local business site in existence.
..which I don't think takes anything away from it. It was still clever in implementation, concept, and now we can just add viral campaign to the list.

Also, I think it's worth pointing out that the people at Metafilter were on it from the start. I don't know if that says anything about liberal arts and social science types being more cynical and skeptical or if the science and technical crowd types here are just easily entranced by the technical implementation of something and don't see the forest for the trees. It's probably both.
Ask HN: What's your company's dev environment like?
We're trying to provide the best dev environment possible to allow our developers to be most productive.

A developer's lone MacBook Pro can only go so far, so we want to supplement it with extra resources.

We're a Java and Tomcat shop.

Looking to see what other people are doing.. we're too big for the Amazon cloud. Should we give everyone their own developer workstation, or virtualize.. or... ???

Thanks
A Better World:  What Would an Open Apps Ecosystem Look Like?
You're right! They seem to have fixed a bug in their test program, and I'm now credited with solving that problem.

As for the justification, it shouldn't be too hard to show with a little algebra that

TaxicabDistance(x1+y1, y1-x1, x2+y2, y2-x2)/2 = ChebyshevDistance(x1, y1, x2, y2)

where

ChebyshevDistance(x1, y1, x2, y2) = max(|x1-x2|,|y1-y2|) and

TaxicabDistance(x1, y1, x2, y2) = |x1-x2|+|y1-y2|.
Apple has not demonstrated any interest in buying its own manufacturing facilities. Doing so would not provide the company with the flexibility and agility required to stay ahead of the market. Instead, Apple uses cash incentives to allow its manufacturing partners to invest in new technologies earlier than market demand would have otherwise made feasible. In exchange, Apple signs deals for exclusive purchasing rights to these new technologies.

By providing incentives to third parties instead of assuming the manufacturing risk internally, Apple can accomplish the same goals with comparable payoff while taking on much less risk.

This strategy is, in part, one of the reasons why Apple is able to offer tech like the retina display in the iPhone 4 long before its competitors.
It sounds like you did this before. In which case you should have restored from a TimeMachine backup. Your restored account is pretty much identical to your old one. The only reason you can tell it's not your old machine is because you have a physically different machine. Takes maybe 1-1.5 hours.

The Lion updates will soon (devs need to update their software) make things even better for users. Auto save and built in versioning.
I'd say some of their examples have resulted in innovation (Heroku, Airbnb), but overall, I think most incubators seem to play it safe. I really wonder if the next Google/Facebook sized company will come through an incubator or sidestep that process altogether.

C's rand() function returns an int >= 0, so rand() < 0.0001 will be true only when rand() returns zero. Assuming a pseudorandom number generator that uses all its possible values before repeating, you'll get a 0 approximately every 1 in RAND_MAX times you call rand().
to implement a couch you need a key/value store with transactions so you can atomically update the by-sequence index and the key/value storage simultaneously. pouch is neat because it does this in your browser (or on top of any leveldb) so that you can replicate and sync databases anywhere you can run pouch. i'd love to see more databases implement replication but sadly not many database developers think to store by-sequence indexes or expose their databases over http

We can't blame Lodsys for exploiting the holes in the patent system. For that, we have to blame the system itself.

Yes, we can. We can blame Lodsys, IV, et. al. for behaving legally but unethically and/or counterproductively to society, while also blaming the system itself.

Otherwise, this statement is roughly similar to saying that you can't blame bullies for beating up nerds; it's the nerds' fault for being weak, and the playground's fault for not having nerd protection.

The Age of Transitions
This is a step in an interesting direction. Facebook, by pushing this experience out of the core app out on its own on the home screen, hints at a revolutionized mobile landscape in which a users Photos app is Facebook Photos, Messaging app is Facebook Messaging, Calendar app is Facebook Events, and iPod app is Facebook Music.
Almost no-one uses Linux as their desktop. A lot of the UI tools don't work as well on Linux, or have no Linux versions at all.

Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria."
