> x^y should be zero if you approach (0,0) along the x=0 axis, and it should be one if you approach along the y=0 axis.

Technically, 0^y is 0 only if you approach it from the right: y>0. To the left of 0 it is indeterminate or infinity depending on how you look at it.
x^0, however, makes sense for all x and is always 1

Jerome, the cluster example is just an example of clustering :) you can run the example/c2s.js for a single node example (which won't even require redis).

Also, the 2 lines are actually different. The node.js lib for redis is a bit weird, so we need both a "pub" client and a "sub" client :)
One of those people who did credit Burroughs, was Prof Ron Morrison at St Andrews. His students often heard little snippets about the B5000, sometimes coincidental with diatribes against Pascal, particularly the arbitrary limitations like the limited set type.

When I was there in 84-88, undergrads started off in S-Algol which was a recursive descent compiled, tidied-up Algol that ran on a C-based beta^h^h^h^h virtual machine. Lovely, friendly little language.

After exposure to 'S', JH and SH classes switched to PS-Algol which had procedures as first class objects, so we learnt closures, and how to do really neat things like serialize closures to store (one calll), reflection, generate and compile code on the fly. Really a great language, and back in 85/86 or so, it had all this cool, safe stuff that Java didn't get until several iterations in.

I didn't stay on after I graduated, so I missed out on the next step, which was a sort of always live environment called Napier. I don't know much about it, but always imagine a sort of concurrent Algol based Smalltalk. That may be close or far off the mark.
Talking about port exhaustion is, I realize, a little confusing because there are the web requests coming in and the web-tier is making outbound requests to other services. Adding an image to the blog to hopefully clarify things.
Some time you should protect yourself,cell phone jammer not far from you 
A cell phone jammer is a useful gadget that emits powerful signal within the same frequency range that cell phones use. This signal will result in jamming the communication of the cell phone because of the obstruction. If anyone tries to make calls within the effective zone of cell jammer will lose their signal but without knowing that a jammer is the sole reason for the signal interruption. People trying them from the other end will only hear not-reachable alert by the service provider. Phone jammers are available in different styles and sizes from personal hand-held models to medium to large size jammers.

Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds
It was Inevitable the stock would dip a little when Jobs announced he was stepping down. Considering he's still going to be the driving the force of the company as chairman of the board pretty much tells you all you need to know.

Secondly, he wouldn't hand pick someone who didn't share his vision. Cook is smart, he's not going to drastically change the course of the company like some other cough HP cough companies have done.

Considering these two things, I'd say the stock prices will stay the same if not continue to increase in value.

To expand on mrk-hn's comment,

I don't think the comparison is entirely without merit. From what I can tell, a lot of the scorn directed at hipsters (or at least the "hipster" archetype/strawperson) stems from fact (or perception) that they value cultural artifacts based on the social status that they can leverage those artifacts for, rather than for any intrinsic value they might have. Compare someone who tells their friends about a band because they like the lyrics of that one song they listened to all the time in high school, vs someone who tells their friends about the same band because they want to be the first to do so, gaining some reputation in the process. (Obviously there are more subtle gradients of behaviors and motivations here, but lets stick to broad strokes.)

Apple's branding and advertising tends to exhibit a similar focus on how their products will improve your status, rather than on the capabilities of the actual hard/software. Consider the 1984 Mac ad, or the iPod silhouette ads. They weren't telling you to buy an iPod because it could hold more songs, they were telling you that if you had an iPod, you could be one of the happy beautiful people dancing on a soundstage. Compare that to a run of GeneriCo (seriously, I've seen it like ten times but I can't recall the brand) ads that have been running for back-to-school PCs on Hulu. The whole thing is a laundry list of features without any context for why they're going to make your life better. And there's a creepy guy hanging on the wall of a girl's dorm room. They haven't even grokked JWZ's level of marketing savvy (http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html) let alone Apple's.

Collide that with some long-standing geek ethics (function over form, a hard-won appreciation for the inner beauty of seemingly ugly tech, etc) and a backlash isn't all that surprising. The hipster thing is just convenient. Hating on them is already a popular internet pastime, so throwing that (as above, somewhat spiritually appropriate) label on Apple is a nice shorthand for showing how much you don't care about how big bezels should be or whether your corners are rounded. It doesn't help that there are a fairly substantial core group of Apple devotees who engage in some absurdly irrational behaviors for status-seeking reasons (which is pretty much what "hipsterism" is all about). Why, our enraged geek wants to know, would anyone stand in line at an Apple store for hours for a new iPhone? THAT IS WHAT THE INTERNET AND FEDEX IS FOR SMAAASH

So, yeah. Extending that to accusations of overpriced-ness is left as an exercise for the reader.

Thanks for the question. Regarding the "post on your wall," we definitely took into account the importance of what this statement may mean about the user. We decided to put an engaging phrase like "Are people using websites like jobzey.com to find jobs?". This way, it doesn't show the user's intent, but does create curiosity among the user's friends. Regarding the access of photos and videos, we don't actually need it at this moment, we are toying around with different ideas to better leverage all forms of a user data to provide more value to the job results page. Thanks again for the comment. What did you think overall of the funnel? design? simplicity? etc. Any comments are appreciated.

Looks pretty nice. Some pictures are worth quite a few words.

Is this problem made worse by the ephemeral ports remaining unavailable after disconnect, because they're stuck in TIME_WAIT? Or does a modern TCP stack note a low RTT and release the port much sooner?
I'm sorry, but the comments on here stating "$58m is more than enough to retire upon" are naive when talking about the CEO of one of the largest (market cap) corporations in the world.

Is it a lot overall? Yes. Is it comparable to the same position in similar companies? Probably, I haven't done the comparison. I know a lot of banking CEOs have been making much more for nearly wrecking the economy.

I generally think the C-class officers to average employee salary is way out of whack. But, I think, given the job Tim Cook has been doing and the contribution to the valley and economy that has resulted due to Apple's success, I feel is is more than merited this generous plan.

If Apple were bleeding or just average? That would be one thing, they have been running on all cylinders and Tim Cook has been instrumental in that.

Venter's artificial cell seemed notable.
It turns out in practice not to be a huge problem.

As you might guess, I'm speaking from experience. I don't need to "imagine" or theorize, I'm living it.

It also turns out that if you really want to, it's easy to make your keyboard flip back and forth between QWERTY and whatever customizations you like. (In my environment, "setxkbmap us" and "jerf_keyboard" (setxkbmap dvorak & an xmodmap) does it. Bind a key to it if you like. I used to use xosd to pop up which mode just turned on when I was sharing a computer with my wife.)

I reiterate, people have a huge blind spot here and are so busy hypothesizing about how it might not work that they miss out on the fact that it does work, and there's no need to wait for fancy keyboards... that, by the way, your coworkers will still be intimidated by, so it's not as if your argument actually affects anything in any direction anyhow. Reap the benefits of these keyboards now, if you like.

What to do with all the advice that you get about how to run your Startup
I don't know about that. There's a lot of things I'd like to do that would be possible with $5b that wouldn't be possible with $500m. I could start a good ISP, or make a big stab at commercializing spaceflight, or attempt a viable and powerful mind-machine interface... Big Money buys Big Things, and if I were in Cook's position I'd care less about yachts and more about really damned cool things that I could do with that kind of cash.

What Makes Steve Jobs Great
"Made Business Cool"? If you mean MBAs and metrics and similar business measurements? No.

If you mean, "building a company around products people want", then sure. Jobs anticipated markets and had the balls to focus on and follow through on his vision.

This is NOT a business thing in the MBA sense, this is having a vision and the belief to follow through on it.
Just to be clear, it's a Flash 0-day, not an Excel 0-day.

"In contrast, Steve Jobs earned a $1 annual salary every year since he rejoined Apple in 1997.

Sadly the article reflects a bit of "old style" thinking where paging or scrolling is an either-or situation. But the beauty of digital content is that it does not have to be an either-or, it can be both. Those who like paging can have paging, those who prefer scrolling can have scrolling, and the content itself is otherwise identical. It only requires the viewer be designed to provide both modes of viewing the content.

I wish I could help you but the best I can come up with is finding some that work with larger companies that support telecommuting. Most of the smaller companies that support remote work generally use networking, ads or independent recruiters.

Dice.com might have a better search but I cannot recall if they have a telecommuting filter; if they do you could look for recruiters that post there.
new TouchPads in the hands of a bunch of nerds…

I looked for one in local stores and they all told me that eBay hustlers had bought them very quickly after the price drop. Haven't looked on eBay but if true then it's not necessarily the nerds that got them, that could do something useful with them.
It's true for women also, but by using the money for plastic surgery and skin care, etc. They do some pretty awful yet impressive things nowadays to reshape body structures, things like disconnecting/removing calf muscles for a slimmer calf, breaking and resetting the jaw for a narrower face, and all different kinds of lasers to get rid of acne and scars and wrinkles.

You have to think about concurrency. If there were a total of 64K simultaneous requests to that physical instance, each of which is running 100+ apps because it's multi-tenant, this drastically reduces the number of ports available to each app. With evented IO, a socket could be open for 250 ms (db query taking time) that sucks up a port causing a potential DoS on the other apps.

Facebook Kills Daily Deals, But Keeps Check-In Deals
It seems that both the straight dope and ask-a-physicist links describe the effects as something similar to having eight giant mountains on Earth whose summits make up the points of a cube. This led me to wonder, what if we consider the case where the Earth is exactly the same (geologically) as it is now, but in the future we put up eight giant towers whose tops describe those summit points? Assuming a supermaterial has been discovered whose properties allow for an extremely light structure with enormous compression strength relative to its weight, like aerogel ( http://bashinginminds.com/2010/01/23/playing-with-nasas-soli... ) but even aerogel-ier. What would that be like?

Is it then too far-fetched to imagine that some freak process of nature or other might conceivably allow for the creation of a bizarre planet with an immensely dense spherical core and a lighter mantle and crust that take on the shape of a cube externally? Nature is not averse to giving us cubes, after all: http://www.gemstoneslist.com/pyrite.html

Um, and if they do that, who takes the profits from the search engine? Microsoft, who has "invested" billions and billions of dollars and who would presumably like to recoup some or all of their losses, or Facebook? And if that's the case, how much value does that add to Facebook again? It's an interesting and open question, but methinks predictions that Facebook would get all of the profits, when Microsoft has put in the all or most of the capital costs of a money-losing search engine system, seem to be a little hard to believe, don't you think? And that's of course assuming Microsoft can be successful in search, which has yet to be seen at least from a business perspective...
