On page 64 of the 'Specifications', in a paragraph
highlighted in yellow, the ministry writes:
"All versions of software that are part of the offer
may not be published under a 'free software license'
- GPL or similar."

When you licence your solution to the government, you do so under a commercial licence. The 'Specifications' were asking you not to have any parts of your software under a free license (to/from third parties).

Of course this move is to limit competitiveness since EU explicitly favors open software: http://www.osor.eu/eupl/introduction-to-the-eupl-project

This limits the little guys that try to cut costs by using open software as building blocks for the solution, so only the giants vendoring expensive "enterprise" solutions can participate. And rest assured, open solutions are many times of better quality.

15 Fashion Websites for Inspiration
At the moment some of the best clothing stores and almost all the fashion labels can be found online. Some of them are still using flash but this doesn't mean they lack in functionality. In this post we’ll feature some of our favorite fashion related websites that are sure to inspire you. Enjoy!
I have come to really dislike lessons - love anecdotes, though. A 'lesson' taken from a specific context and applied under different circumstances is, in my opinion, just as likely to harm than help. Some of the 'rules' may be completely arbitrary but work because Valve has some great people. Others work because Valve is Valve and wouldn't work anywhere else.

I wish sometimes people would just tell the story, and not try to distill it down to lessons for everyone to follow.
For how long your offer is valid? I'd like to give it a hit in about a month or two. And, can you hint on the area you are comfortable making calls in, i.e. whole country or a state. Thanks!

Why Andrew Ross Sorkin Should Apologize to Steve Jobs
There seems to be a misconception here that the observation
most successful large startups have more than one founder
implies if I were to add another person to my startup it would be more likely to succeed. It doesn't, unless that person is addressing a particular deficiency to the extent that they deserve ~50% equity.

If a complimentary skillset, alternative perspectives and/or shared workload isn't worth that to you then don't look. However important it may be to an external investor betting on you, you don't need to signal to yourself you're committed enough not to drop startup life in favour of that dream job at Google or pivot towards a "lifestyle business". People looking for cofounders solely to improve their chances of getting into incubators probably ought to reassess their priorities.
I'd be more convinced if he'd also registered domains with two, three and four bit-errors in them. Having gathered as much statistics as he did, they should show clearly half as much, resp. 1/4th and 1/8th as much hits.

If that would indeed have been the case, he could say with very high confidence that his hits were indeed caused by bit-flip errors, and not by character errors or who knows what other unknown anomalies.

So far, he's advocating to upgrade memory to prevent this vulnerability, but there's only a rough hypothesis that this might be caused by memory bitflip errors.

And even then, between the client and the DNS-server, there's a lot of machines, the bitflip could occur anywhere, right? How can he say upgrading client memory will solve anything??

Report: Russia Identifies Cause of Rocket Launch Failure
Okay maybe rubbish was a bit of an exaggeration but it's lacking in a lot of areas:

- No icons. Makes it hard to differentiate between files and directories at a glance.
- No drag and drop, you cant quickly copy and move files.
- Renaming files is clunky (on OS X at least).
- Right clicking a file doesn't give you many useful options.
- Doesn't match the host OS's file manager very well. It's some sort of weird middle ground; on Windows it should act like Explorer, on OS X it should use the same conventions as Finder.

Compare the file manager to the ones in Coda and Espresso and it's fairly poor. I know the ctrl/cmd + p shortcut is pretty amazing but sometimes you don't know exactly what you're looking for and have to fall back to browsing through a codebase to find what you're after.

This post sounds a bit hateful, but I really like the rest of ST2. It's just the file manager which gives me grief.

It depends on which set you use.

The default set has 10 base colors, 10 base faces, 10 Bodies, 10 Eyes, 10 Accessories, 10 Mouths.

There are then 2 sets of 10 backgrounds.

So 3(10^6)(210) ~= 60,000,000

Strength training will increase the amount of muscle tissue, and muscle tissue burns calories at a faster rate than any other tissue. Aerobic training will burn calories faster, but losing both fat and muscle. The result is that you might loose weight with aerobic training alone, but you will gain a lot more fat when you quit training, because you will have less muscle than before. So, the right choice is to build muscle with strength training AND burn fat with aerobic training.
I do hope they'll still continue their Kindle line though.

I heard about this recently too. All to avoid the design error of not allowing multiple inheritance, along with other design errors of not having a proper OOP system such as Python's, Ruby's, Perl's, or CLOS. I work with PHP pretty frequently and I like the language for what it does well, I might even use Traits when 5.4 is the new 5.2, I just can't get excited about features other languages have had for a long time. (I guess I've become a Lisp snob or something even though I don't use Lisp all that often. [ see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=941740; I'm more or less in agreement with jerf.])
> On the other hand, not finding the Higgs would be an extremely exciting result, since it would open the way to less well-explored ideas about the origin of mass. The goal of the LHC is to teach us about the world, not stroke physicists' egos and tell us how clever our existing theories are.

Maybe the Higgs boson is the new aether[1] which, after many experiments failing at observing its existence, was replaced by relativity and quantum physics. By which I concur that an experiment built for, yet failing to demonstrate a point is not necessarily a failed experiment.

So whatever the results of the LHC, I'm confident that it's a worthwhile task to undertake.

I wouldn't laugh, but I am surprised it works. I have abandoned Cold Fusion in the late 90's - it kept hanging up, to the point of someone (me) having to write a program that detected the lockup and proceeded to restart the service. It may have become more reliable over the years, but I wouldn't know. CFML also has several drawbacks as a web programming language - the way it mixes presentation and application logic makes it hard to test properly and reminds me of what is wrong with a lot of PHP and JSP code out there.

I am also surprised someone claims it's faster to work on Windows than it is on a Unix-like OS. Most of the things I do on servers are moving files around, installing/updating packages and occasionally restarting a daemon. For that, clicking and dragging on a remote GUI is much less efficient than issuing equivalent commands in a shell.

I also read IIS progressed a lot since I last had to automate virtual server creation. Again, Apache runs on Windows and spitting (usually rendering from a template and adding custom values) a new config-file and doing a graceful restart appears simpler than right-clicking, form-filling and manually copying settings from one place to another. Windows doesn't even offer the courtesy of select/middle-button operation (unless you are operating IIS from the console).

Like someone else said, unless your infrastructure fails miserably (and CF/Windows failed me long ago) your app won't suck because of the technologies it stands upon. A good idea implemented in CF, PHP or ASP is just as good as a good idea implemented in Django or Rails or Node or Lisp. It's just that it may be harder to evolve it over time, or make it scale, or deploy it in the first place.

Beware strategy inflation: not all categories are strategic
Yes, a jury is drawn from a pool of randomly selected individuals, yes. But the pool is first filtered, by striking (1) people who appear to the judge to have too much potential for bias; (2) people who convince the judge they have a good excuse for not serving on the jury; and (3) up to X people peremptorily struck by the lawyers, where X typically equals 3 per side.

(In technology-related cases, item 3 often results in the exclusion from the jury of anyone who knows anything about the technology---one or another team of lawyers will want the jurors to know only that which was presented to them for the first time at the trial.)
The search was for immediate buys from $50-$90. You can easily see for yourself.

Presumably this is going to be called the "Kindle Tab" or something like that, they've built up great brand loyalty to Kindle. I don't think they're going to discontinue a product that sells as well as the Kindle and nails a specific use-case the way it does.
Deterrence is a concept that has been studied regularly by criminologists, and to my understanding has been shown to have only minimal (inverse) correlation to wrongdoing. In some studies, deterrence has been separated into formal sanctions (e.g., court system, being fired from work), informal sanctions (e.g., disapproval of peers) and personal shame. (And each of these may be broken down further into certainty and severity.) Of these three, only formal sanctions demonstrates statistical effect, but in the presence of other factors (e.g., willingness to rationalize) its effect is very weak and almost disappears.

So yes, deterrence has a place, but it's a very minor one, and researchers have understood this for decades. Politicians and the public haven't yet caught on, perhaps because we seek concrete preventative measures or conflate deterrence and justice.

> Worry about injection attacks (...) after you gain some traction

Stop doing it right now.

There are automated tools that detect injection vulnerabilities and people who will hack you for a dozen e-mail addresses and passwords (and, possibly, control of your server). Sanitizing user input is easy.

While I agree the odds of gaining lots of traction are small, when you do, it hits you very fast. You should at least know the hot spots of your application so you can optimize them easily when possible. I am not telling you to save user registration data on a Cassandra cluster just in case, but employing good algorithms when possible. My apps usually are able to generate JMeter config files that make load testing with real data very painless.

The article makes the assumption (or at least fails to demonstrate) that the bottleneck is boarding, as opposed to deplaning or cleaning. Other processes which may be done in parallel could just as easily be a bottleneck: food, sanitation, gas, luggage, and such.

I'm happy Traits are coming to PHP, but given I haven't yet been able to use any PHP 5.3 features in any production environment outside of hobby projects, I'm awfully glum about the prospect of being able to make use of them any time in the next couple of years.

How does the fact that the app sells well disprove the fact that the app is badly designed? I have both Motion-X apps, and I love their features, but I find myself using simpler apps because of the Motion-X UI clutter. Motion-X offers an impressive feature set for the price, but why on this earth do I have to deal with un-familiar graphical switches to change a setting? Where in the real, tangible world does having more switches and buttons make something better? I'd actually use the apps more than once if I didn't have to study the UI in order to make a task-related decision.

For example, take a look at a screenshot from Motion-X's Drive app (http://i.imgur.com/uWXdk.jpg). Compare that to the less-flashy Tomtom app UI (http://i.imgur.com/6mPKe.jpg)

Which UI is more functional?

And for run tracking, which UI would you find yourself more inclined to use, Nike GPS' (http://i.imgur.com/80pLl.jpg) or Motion-X GPS' (http://i.imgur.com/tTdMN.jpg)?

I never can figure out how to use the Motion-X apps. Tease me all you want, but the UI is a chore to me. I prefer the dumbed-down Tomtom app for navigation and the Nike GPS app for my runs. While they may lose, feature-wise, they win on functionality. Why should a user have to deal with artificial UI abstractions that add flair at the cost of increased cognitive load?

You are accusing the op of accusing another person of copying a site designed to let one person accuse another. I find that funny, hence the upvote.
It's true. When you send a photo to another person, you are knowingly and intentionally sending it unencrypted through multiple third parties, most of whom you don't even know. Does that sound like privacy to you? In the US, courts have ruled that certain kinds of communications (including phone calls and emails) have a "right" to privacy, which means that it's illegal to intercept them. But that doesn't mean it can't happen.
And that the woman started using the laptop with preinstalled and preused OS instead of reformatting it.

> half as much, resp 1/4 and 1/8 as much hits

No. These errors are very rare. You only get any of them (according to the hypothesis we're considering here) because there are so many DNS requests made. The probability of getting two bit-flip errors in a single request is much smaller than the probability of getting one, so the expected number of 2-bit hits would be way less than 1.

Something like this might be a useful check in a different way: bit-flipping errors will almost always be single-bit errors, whereas typos and suchlike won't. So if the bit-flipping theory is correct, you'll see systematically more single-bit than multi-bit errors.
Cost: There's more to it than just the filtering and introduction.

Agencies we've worked with have had a guarantee clause. If the person quits within 90 days, the recruiting company pays their salary. If they quit after 90 days, the hiring company pays them.

This gives companies a way to soften the blow of bad recruits, at the cost of higher fees to the recruiter.

It's insurance.
