Better Bit Mixing - Improving on MurmurHash3's 64-bit Finalizer
I'm beginning to doubt the "IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Manager" has the authority to do what he's doing, and I'm beginning to think this will blow over with an official response from the IEEE saying as much and rescinding this joker's fake 'policy'.
Nitpick, but I wish those tables were actual tables, not images.
theres this great thing called npmjs.org that is a place for stuff like this if I am not mistaken
Federally commissioned works do not 'retain copyright'. They don't have copyright _at all_ (by law). As such, there is no legal basis for restricting copying of such works. Of course, this includes the IEEE - they can republish all they want, they just can't stop anyone else from republishing, because the copyright never existed in the first place.
Here's an example of such a mini-proof:

Are people still using this library? With the emergence of mobile browsers which have great HTML5 support, and the decline of aging browsers like IE, I wonder does jQuery have much of a future? I don't need it to handle ajax queries and canvas, and websockets, and backbone has better data handling etc...
koush, nice! I use your code every day when I reboot my phone, but I appreciate this useful extension to node almost as much. :)
Show HN: Stylate.com - Aftermarket Brands for Startups
Very nice. I've also been using the async node.js module which is quite handy for some other patterns. Of course, having direct support directly in node would be the best. Can't wait for the yield keyword!
good points. I can't think of how many times I let myself get distracted by checking the inbox every time a new messages comes in.
"Just because something is "advertising" or "social" does not mean that it is "completely trivial and useless"."

You're right, they totally left out invasive, obnoxious and manipulative.
The .lock file will have the versions that are currently bundled, so you can always check what versions are bundled there. But I guess that requires a bit of messing around, where as what you do seems quite straight forward.
Right, that's a good point: internal disclosure. The NDA is very specific on a need-to-know basis. So if our methods are obviously put to use it means that they disclosed, if my thinking is correct?
It's a lot of syntactic sugar for one very specific type of monad. Why not just patch the language to allow easy interoperation with any monad?

For example, F#'s let! binding works with any monad not just async.
This is disappointing. It has been hard to find the soft copy of IEEE papers. Now it will be even harder. IEEE is losing it's value among CS people.

Good that most of CS papers are published in ACM conferences, and most of the authors publish a soft copy on their homepages.

Also, more and more CS people are posting their papers on arxiv.org.
There was some discussion of adding this to CoffeeScript. The issues on GitHub seem stalled. Would really love to see it happen soon!
You can still buy a laptop for a lot less than $999, though, and that's where other people will come out of the woodwork to show you loud, clumsy looking Acer and HP machines.

Yup, that's why I specifically mentioned the Air vs. Ultrabooks, a $399 Acer isn't in the same class.
I have to disagree with you on form factor while sitting. I find a laptop better than or equal (larger screen + supports itself at a wide range of viewing angles)

Regarding attempts to put things in the public domain, it is widely held that, at least in the USA, there are two possibilities. The first is that you can declare something to be in the public domain and put it into the public domain. The second is that declaring something to be in the public domain (even without an affadavit) forms a reliable estoppel in case the author wants to exercise his copyright later. The end result is that, either way, public domain dedications are seen by most people as legally reliable.

I don't know if that is true but it is irrelevant since they became successful NOT by using gimmicks or schemes but focusing on quality, which is the point I was trying to make.
Changing JS is just not a great idea and I think Node.js has been wise to avoid it.

If you're going to innovate, then design a language that compiles down to JS that provides the innovation. CoffeeScript.

If you want to take that a step further, look at ClojureScript. Want delimited continuations? Fine. All w/o requiring you to fork Node.js or CoffeeScript.

The 10 Most Valuable Startups in the World
i think that comment was tongue in cheek joke ;-)
The system is that stupid decisions and bad risks are rewarded, so long as the chickens don't come home to roost too early.

The "best" bets are bets that are on average loss-making but over the short to medium term seem to make a profit (if they weren't on average loss-making, yields would probably be too low). What you do is look until you seem to have a reliable money maker, lever up and bet big. If it all pans out - as it usually does - you pocket a big chunk of the profit. If it fails (which it will once every few years or decades), you get the government to bail you out, or at worst the company goes bust.

Heads you win (most of the time), tails you don't lose much. It's a money-making (or rather, money-diverting) ratchet.

The feedback mechanisms don't work properly, particularly in finance. Humans don't live long enough and don't defer compensation long enough for the averages to work out properly. When a large proportion of the economy is devoted to this stuff (20+% in some countries), it's almost certainly highly inefficient, but the market won't fix it because the market can't fix it: again, the feedback mechanisms aren't strong enough.
Having lived there for a couple of years, I'd say the problem in Singapore is a having a muzzled press. However, this is balanced by Singapore having relatively clean politicians.
What would be the "IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Manager"'s incentive to act in this manner if not under official order from IEEE to minimize the amount of public domain content?
node-fibers is one attempt to put coroutines into node. I like it because it uses libcoro, which is nice and tight and uses ucontext, and because it works as a module without forking the core of node. Once you've 'fiberized' the server modules to start each request in its own fiber and implemented a call-with-current-continuation on Function.prototype, we're pretty much at the same place you've arrived but without new keywords.
This is broscience. A couple position papers from reputable sources (NSCA, NCSM) directly contradict this, the first based on a meta-analysis:

http://www.nsca-lift.org/HotTopic/download/Single%20vs%20Mul...

http://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Fulltext/2009/03000/Progre...

Aside from the fact that the tradeoff with doing 1 set is actually much less performance improvement long-term, the main problem with this idea is that it just doesn't take all that much time to bust out 3 sets vs 1 set of something, at least for the more critical, whole body exercises (squat, deadlift, bench, chin, row, clean...)

Factoring in generalized warmup, cool-down, travel to the gym, getting changed in and out of exercise clothes, showering, etc - you're talking about a 10-15 extra minutes of training in order achieve substantially greater gains.

Yes but if the repository is cloned with a lock file, when you bundle install, the lock file is then updated with your new gem versions if you have not specified a specific gem version number.
If this is true, it would be a bigger deal to logicians than a solution to P vs NP.

My guess is that there will end up being a mistake somewhere (based purely on statistics of huge claims without full posted proofs), but it seems too early to say anything definitive. Terence Tao has guessed it is wrong, which is evidence against it, but then Nelson acknowledged Tao's remarks and said it isn't a problem, which is interesting. This is making me wish I was more of an expert so I could decide for myself.
yes, the person can sue you.

But if you can demonstrate that you have already been practising it before their patent lodgement date, then this is known as "prior art".

However, it will still cost you money to defend yourself in court.
Personally, I'm going to hire the guy who took the extra effort to dress up.

And as I said above, my instinct would be to hire the guy who doesn't look like he's overcompensating. But I recognize that such a superficial judgment either way is a foolish bias.
I want to ask the same question. I have the feeling there's something very interesting here but my mind is failing to see what it is. I feel like someone from the 60's watching the mother of all demos and not quite understanding what's going on. What are the use cases?

As long as people continue to use browsers that are old or different, and people want to write one-size-fits-all JavaScript. Which means, for many years into the future, at least. So, to answer your question quantitatively, people are using jQuery more than ever:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=jquery

Also, jQuery has little to do with HTML5, or canvas or websockets. Maybe you don't really know what jQuery is used for?
Usb microscope
Seriously? In my experience the question is closer to "is there anyone who is not using jQuery?". Handling feature variance among browsers is nice, but far from the only reason I see people picking jQuery for projects. Many people add in other libraries for specific features, but jQuery seems to be the base that most start building upon.

This is great, but I'd rather not use a fork of Node, and Joyent isn't going to integrate this, unfortunately. I wish that Google would just add yield to V8, but they won't do that unless Apple adds it to whatever the hell their interpreter is called now (Squirrelfish?).
> With the emergence of mobile browsers which have great HTML5 support, and the decline of aging browsers like IE, I wonder does jQuery have much of a future?

HTML5 has very little relevance to jQuery (the querySelector API is pretty much the only one of real interest), jQuery is fundamentally a better API for DOM manipulations. As long as the DOM exists, so will jQuery (seriously, have you ever written a raw DOM web application?).

Not to mention the jQuery ecosystem, which provides a number of "headstart" plugins.

> I don't need it to handle ajax queries

XMLHttpRequest is quite far from the easiest API to use correctly, jQuery makes that very convenient. Also, deferreds.

> and backbone has better data handling etc...

Erm... you do know backbone uses (if not mandates) jQuery for view interactions right?

This assumes you only care about money and don't care about creative control and the satisfaction of running your own business. For a lot of indie developers making equal to or slightly less than they would as a salaried developer is doing well, even if you don't have a massive hit that makes $1M+.
Consider this analogy: Before Google and Wikipedia, to find out about some subject, you'd have to find an encyclopedia, journey to its location, and spend time paging through it to get info.

While that was possible, the price in time and effort was very high compared to an internet search.

That same change affects our privacy. Before, a scammer could single you out, look through your information, and visit people to make connections. Today, a scammer in a foreign country can search through millions of public records to find the connection he knows he can exploit every morning, while laying in bed.

My point is, more of what happens on planet Earth is determined by ease than possibility. And ease makes new things possible. This fact is especially relevant in terms of computation.

I've never used jQuery. That doesn't mean I have no idea what I'm talking about. 99% of people that use jQuery have no idea what they're doing.

The data linked later on in the thread is the exact data used for the infographic, and it was just tabloid make-belive news. The reason why the numbers are wrong is that Spotify had recently launched at this point, and had essentially no real revenue stream yet (almost everybody on the free model, not a lot of ads yet).

It has been reported later on that the amount of money paid out has increased substantially, but no hard data is given since that seems to be considered a trade secret.

Anyone know if there's a self-contained way to spool up a dyno sporadically to complete scheduled tasks?

I have a webapp now that's hosted on a VPS and uses Celery to schedule tasks. The tasks themselves only take about a second, the dyno needs to stay active for ~5 minutes to service a bunch of HTTP requests from another webservice that will result from the task, and then shut down until the next task. There are O(100) tasks spaced throughout the day, and they each must be completed at a very specific time. My aggregate dyno-hour requirements are very low, but I haven't figured out a way for a dyno to turn itself on and off for scheduled tasks this way. Admittedly, my use case is a bit niche, but a solution sure would be useful. Whiteboxing my webapp in such a way that it could be deployed on Heroku would be great, but keeping a dyno running all month to run the Celery polling process, when 'actual' computing is happening << 1 percent of the time, is a bit steep :)
Happy to take a look - Can you raise an issue at: https://github.com/jonathannen/gemfresh/issues

If you can, include the stack and the output of `gem environment`. Plus (if they are public) the links to the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock.
I stuck it out with Gnome 2.x on Ubuntu, until I "had" to convert that machine to Windows 7 (for running IAR). Windows 7 is somehow an improvement over Gnome 3.
How are you determining the date?

The page itself has no date which I think is unhelpful and I was going to ask if anyone knew when this was posted.
Or just install the prerelease of bundler (`gem install bundler --pre`), which works well enough that Heroku uses it for slug compilation, and run:

bundle outdated
not to labor the point. But the lock file is in the repo, it doesn't matter if it's updated, there is a version in the repo.
I'm amazed by the insight in this article. I'm not generally a huge Gruber fan (nor a hater, I just don't find "Apple released a new x, here's my reaction" very nourishing). But in this I felt like he really nailed the state of tablets and why the Fire will do well and the others won't. Really good stuff.

Sadly not analysed is that his central point, taken to its logical conclusion, gives you an obvious field for new iPad competitors. He's correct - nobody's going to beat Apple in hardware design. Nobody's going to beat Apple (for a while anyway) in app market size. What can they beat Apple at? Price and content.

Price and content means Sony, Nintendo, Disney, any of the big content players with an untapped market for specific tablets. I don't know if they'll go that way, but there's every reason to think they'd win out if they did.

All the branches of evolutionary computing agree that evolved systems are really good at finding flaws in your problem statements. Most of the evolved systems you see in production are not the product of the first attempt to evolve the system.

> Besides unit (or otherwise) tests, it should also be possible to use static analysis to measure fitness and/or use a static type system to restrict the possibilities. I'd think this would have some of the same problems, though- anybody know of any work on that?

I really like this idea, but it doesn't seem to do error handling correctly.

This is not going to catch most errors occurring in an asynchronous APIs:

try {
asyncOperation(function(err, result) {
// ...
});
} catch (e) {
// ...
}

Most errors will occur asynchronously, thus the convention of "err" being the first argument to asynchronous API callbacks in Node.

Unless this supports that convention, your code should actually look like:

async function magic() {
try {
// code here
await err, bar = doSomething();
if (err) {
throw err;
}
// more code here
await err, boo = doAnotherThing();
if (err) {
throw err;
}
// do even more stuff here
}
catch (e) {
// handle the error
}
}

...or something similar. It's better than the alternative, but not great.

This certainly could support the "err" first convention, but APIs that don't use that convention wouldn't work correctly.

IIRC, the original plan for Node involved coroutines (maybe even Lua?). But, they were scrapped because they introduced a lot of the same problems as full threading.
