> I don't dislike that nmap is in C

I guess reading just the burgerbrain thread in the linked context I would have come to the same conclusion, that you like C and weren't criticising nmap being written in it.

Others and myself seem to be thrown off by the content of the parent to that thread, with the statement that nmap could be majorly improved upon, followed by a single paragraph stating that C is unnecessary (due to IO bound).

> Do ncat, nping, ncrack, &c provide fast simple working port scanners?

Valid point, the original comment was posted in response to the argument that nmap was too big, I reproduced it simply because I found it interesting. It shows that they have split out into different tools, but yeah nmap is still the port scanner.

Your point about it having a scripting language adds weight to the argument about it being bloated, however I'm dubious that this would add more than a few ms of performance loss, and there's always the argument that you can simply not use it.

> If it doesn't intrigue you that you can outperform nmap (in its default settings)

I don't have any excitement for the Ruby script and am disappointed to see it is exactly the same one that I or anyone else would have written when asked to scan 65535 ports. The nmap developers would be turning in their graves to see such a naive script be touted as "better performing".

I'm grateful that the nmap developers left their scanner with sane defaults so that anyone like myself can just use their tool responsibly without thinking, and then only dig into the man page if we need greater performance (-T5 amongst others, eg. --min-parallelism 10) or the linked article (-T insane).

> I think it's interesting, that's all.

Sorry, there's nothing new or interesting in that script. I've read other comments you've written which were knowledgeable and interesting, but not found that here and hope that you properly reference your criticisms in future.
Yes, you might be right there. Eco would probably be a better choice (CoffeeScript syntax). I'll see if I can find time to change it.

I'm on snow leopard, so this might not be a bug as you said it runs on SL unofficially, but it's VEERY annoying that every time I edit the 'source' on the left, preview jumps up to the beginning and I have to scroll all the way down to where I was. This is unbearable for long articles.

LTS releases are actually pretty boring, for obvious reasons.

Unity is probably getting more usable. It's now got a pretty built-in backup tool. The App store thingy is better. There's something called juju, which is a "DevOps" branded deployment package, or something. It uses words "cloud", "DevOps", "charms" (wtf?) and so on, and is probably just a wrapper on apt-get, but hey, we all need new buzzwords (and I'll look into it if it stops me shooting myself in the foot too much).

Also, the lightweight distros are probably getting to the "heavy enough to use, but not too Spartan" stage that the Gnome haters want, but will become bloated in 2 years time (and the anti-bloat crowd will jump onto xmonad or something ... why can't they just maximize a terminal?).

The more things change ...

It doesn't look like a CGA port ... the serial port is male and the CGA port is female (as are early VGA ports as well as the Hercules Monochrome port). Some of the XT's had DB-25 serial ports (the DB-9 serial ports were introducted with the AT) DB-25 parallel ports (so you could drive your Centronics printer).
Would you like an XT keyboard ... I found a box of them in my basement recently.
Do you require users to install Google Chrome Frame?
What's your experience in numbers with it? How many users bounce when you require them to install it, or if you make it an option, how many IE users do you still have?
The best way to do this is to precommit to a decision based on any number of metrics. For example, you might decide that if in 6 months time you have less than 10k users, or less than 50k in revenue you will give up on the company. This has the the downside of not allowing you to incorporate lessons that you learn during the creation of your company into your decision making process, but this pales in comparison to the disadvantage of making the decision at a point where you'll be increasingly likely to fall prey to sunk cost biases.

Well, there isn't much of a passenger traffic to the Russia and back, there are facilities to handle the freight, it's an EU border (implying long legal procedures regardless of a transport mode) and the roads there aren't very good (in comparison). Baltic states and Finland lack connections to the rest of EU and again, it's mostly freight only. So it doesn't harm rail transport that much. Less obvious, but much worse problem is that there are incompatible axle loads and clearances, russian carriages are heavier and wider. Too much for the most of standard gauge lines.

Much funnier example of a country with multiple railway gauges is Spain. There are three widely used gauges…

My Palm had a graphic touchscreen and handwriting recognition. A decent organizer package, and a thriving market of 3rd party applications. I could use it to surf the web, do email, IRC, or remote control my TV.

The smartphones went a big way in usability and price department, but it's not any kind of qualitative difference.

This was the time when anyone expected VRML-based web and augumented reality just around the corner. If you told me back then about iPhone in 2010, I would have really struggled feigning surprize to mask the disappointment.
I don't like having multiple browser windows opened though. It just dawned on me that Gmail was the only reason I was not using private mode full time. Now my browser is in private mode from start up.

I've just moved to using Empathy and Evolution(ugh) to check mail. I'd be interested in getting a command line version of the two up.
efficient energy and transportation systems aren't part of sustainable living? How quite sure how that fits.

The crackpots tend to be the "Everyone, back to nature! Let's all dress in mouldy sheep, mine mud, and eat fallen apples" variety.

True sustainability is about managing both individual impact, and global impact. Efficient energy systems, transportation, and food production might allow a global population of 10Bn to operate on a smaller whatever-footprint than where we are now.

Dealing with a population increase is going to be easier than convincing everyone what is, and how to maintain, a stable population. 1-child-per-family rules are unlikely to hold much sway in what we currently consider 'civilised countries'.
It's great !

I just have two small requests.
First, it seems you're using libdiscount (or objc bindings to libdiscount) to compile markdown, could you give the ability to pass flags to the compiler ? (e.g. activate footnotes).
Second but less critical to me, I'd love to be able to tweak the CSS of the generated page (less critical because I can just tweak the style.css file in ORCDiscount).

If Mou had those two (small) features I'd gladly donate/buy it when it comes out.
Don't forget that you can also make your own beer. Homebrewing is a really great hobby, and access to quality ingredients is much easier than in the past. With a little (delicious) practice, you can make just about anything.

There is going to be a rush to judgement, but I'm not convinced that the government is going to use the tax money wisely. There are too many people in the business of defrauding our government, trillions are wasted on wars, and millions on earmarks. The government knows how to bail out wall street, but they can't turn the economy around.

Out of all big international corporations in the US, I would argue that Google and Apple are the most socially responsible (apart from privacy concerns). It won't make sense to bring it back to USA so it can sit in bank accounts and accumulate interests, because those funds are currently accumulating interest as we speak.

The obvious uses would be for spending, perhaps for acquisition and growth. The money would eventually be taxed. Keeping the Government in the pinch has forced them to crack down on waste and fraud. It would be much harder for them to bail out wall street this time around.
Well, I went from markdown to pdf using pandoc/latex/markdown2pdf and then I think I used calibre.

However, I just tried taking one of your html files and converting it directly to epub (again, using calibre, which is free)..and it did a pretty good job.

I think if you can merge the chapters together and spend a bit of time tweaking it, you'll end up with a nice ebook.
Apps aside, I can recommend putting the latest beta MIUI ROM on the Samsung. The default Samsung UI is kind of ugly in my opinion. With MIUI you get a beautiful interface which is very customizable. Standard disclaimers apply.

Wouldn't this be a good thing? The money would come back into the US, and if the tax break isn't given then it won't be coming back.

I'm as cynical about corporations as anyone, but in this case.. they use 100% legal means to reduce their tax, behaving exactly how anyone would expect them.

Some argue that it is an ethical issue, but that neglects the fact that these companies make a large proportion of their profits offshore, and bringing that money gets taxed too. Ethics in this argument are much more subtle than some would have you believe.

I have a SGS2 myself, loving it! How long does your battery usually last? I find myself having to charge nearly every day but a friend with a very similar usage pattern only has to charge every other day. His phone is newer than mine but we run the same software versions :-/

Here's the stuff I use:

- DrumSound app for those times you need a quick drumsound! http://trommelyd.no/
- JuiceDefender (free at the moment), seems to help a lot.
- Twitter/Facebook/Google+, hoping the average person will move to Google+ as I find it much nicer.
- Connectbot IRSSI for SSH (and irssi)
- AlarmDroid, for much better alarms/countdowns/timers.
- Spotify for genious easy music playing (requires premium)
- 3G Watchdog to keep track of my BW usage. I have a 600MB quota I'm never close to.
- RealCalc for a better calculator on the go.
- Dropbox to easily access things
- Notifo for awesome irssi highlight notifications as well as pushing the current page I'm visiting from chrome to the phone (say I'm looking at a recipe and I'm going to the store)
- SSHdroid (not used often) to ssh into the phone.
- ElectroDroid for amazingly useful calculators, resources and pinout info.
- Hacker News and Reddit is fun
- Google Docs
- Various games (Angry Birds, Dragon Fly!, Fruit Ninja, X Construct and the FPse emulator)
- Hacker's Keyboard, full-sized keyboard which is nice for SSH
- SoundHound for recognizing songs
- EverNote (not used much) for keeping notes
- Astrid Tasks for keeping tasklists
- A flashlight app for turning the lights on/off.
- Epicurious for food
- DuckDuckGo app for super easy access to information

As well as a bunch of Norwegian-only apps (Package tracking, norwegian equivalent of Epicurious, City Bike info, Bus info,Yellow pages)

Wow, I really use a ton of apps.
From what I can gather, the MIUI SGS2 port isn't officially supported by MIUI, and has a few bugs and issues. Do you think it's good enough to use on a day-to-day basis?
I'm a fan of G+. However, I wrote a post about this about three months ago (http://hubski.com/pub?id=2069), and I still feel the same way.

IMHO, this is not only going to change the nature of Google, but in the end, it will change their definition of innovation. -When every product is wrapped in social, it changes what every product can be.
LauncherPro, for a more configurable launcher
Google Reader and NewsRob, when online and offline respectively
Kindle
ES File Explorer, probably the best file explorer
AK Notepad, smaller than catch.com stuff
Battery Left, uses history of usage to estimate remaining time
Arity, decent calculator implemented as expression evaluator
DoggCatcher, works far better than Google Listen for me
Wifi Analyzer, great for e.g. surveying hotel wifi reception
Compass, to guess what direction to walk in without needing GPS fix
Very handy when e.g. emerging out of the tube in London
Act 1 video player, nicer interface for playback
3G Watchdog, fantastic to monitor b/w usage if you have a quota
APNdroid, to disable mobile data usage for certain when roaming
Extended Controls, to make settings handier to acccess
Fuel Log Pro, to monitor gas prices and usage
IP Cam Viewer, to check my home cams when I'm away
Maps+, for cached (i.e. offline) maps access when roaming
Micro Second, for monitoring clock drift. With root it can fix it, but I don't
run root. My network time is about 5 minutes out, and my phone loses about
2 minutes a week.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, far more flexible wallpaper
OpenTable, Yelp and Google Places, to find somewhere to eat when abroad
It lasts a little more than a day, regular usage, not too much gaming. I noticed that the latest 2.3.4 ROM really helped boost battery life.

As a side note: Samsung has released an official 2000mAh battery for the SGS2. It's very reasonably priced here in Sweden, at less than 300 SEK. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239719
-TweetDeck (best twitter client IMO)

-Hacker News Reader (HN client, I have a few installed as they regularly start/stop working)

-Reddit is fun (reddit client)

-Hanging with friends free (hangman game)

-Google listen (podcasts)

-Amazon Kindle (books)

-Google Authenticator (two factor auth for google services)

-Alarm Clock Plus (alarm clock app, has a feature that makes you do math before you can turn alarm clock off - only way I can get up after late night coding )

-Google Reader

-Pulse Reader

-ESPNCricinfo (cricket scores)

-Beautiful Widgets (weather widget, changes background based on weather)

-Robo defense (tower defense game)
I don't like this kind of mocking because usually, I don't care what methods are called internally, I care what the outputs and side effects are. There's almost always a better approach than expectations.
Recently, an iPhone app (which expanded to Android & Blackberry too by the 2nd email - for the same price). I was also required to give guarantees, under penalty of compensation, that Apple would accept it into the app store. I was told the budget was $800 with a possible $200 bonus if it was done within 2 weeks.

I've had worse offers in the past but this one was from someone I understand to be fairly well known on the American morning TV circuit.

They use 100% legal means to keep money off shore. True. But then they ask for a Tax Holiday when that arrangement no longer suits them.

One way or another, that money will return to the US, and the tax will be paid accordingly. This will happen over a long period of time. If the US allows this tax holiday to happen, it will be throwing away billions of dollars in the long term with no real short term advantage, whilst sending a very dangerous message to people who use tax avoidance as a long term fiscal strategy.

It's corporate Americas job to make try and make the system work for them. It's the governments job to try and make the system work for everyone.

I actually find myself liking the TouchWiz interface over HTC Sense. I've tried others HTC phones before and my SGS2 is the first android device I've owned. It's quite nice so I haven't bothered changing roms yet. I might if there's a significant battery usage improvement though.
The money wouldn't just be taxed eventually, it would also be taxed immediately, though at a reduced 5.25% rate instead of the usual corporate tax rate. And if a corporation repatriating income uses it to pay dividends, or for share buybacks (resulting in capital gains), this will result in taxable income for the shareholders.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: While liking Ted's writing is a matter of taste, he makes good points.

You probably shouldn't be trying to beat nginx or apache with node.js. That is a solid point. A couple years ago, I would have said you probably shouldn't try to beat Apache. I'm not saying it can't be beat; I'm saying you're not Igor Sysoev.

Javascript probably isn't the best language for an important scalable application on the server. It's getting better. But there's a reason Google and friends have to make some serious improvements. Don't get me wrong, I Love Javascript. It's one of my favorite scripting languages.

I love PHP as well (another language Ted just took a stab at). But I won't pretend PHP will some day be the best way to make an Android app. Sure, if someone added a PHP interpreter to Android, I might consider prototyping with it. But when it's time to shoot for production, it's going to be Java. Obviously.

Our languages are tools. Ted happens to think Javascript is the wrong tool - and in most cases outside of the browser - he's probably right. I'm using it for a pretty large project right now. I have pull requests to a few npm modules and few new npm modules to add, and a few thousand lines of code tying them all together.

But once our concept is proven, I assure you, Node will probably be the first thing to go. Not from my toolbox, just from the project that will have already outgrown it. It's not the right tool for the job when we scale beyond a couple servers. But for right now, while figuring out what goes where and why, there is none better.
>He totally dismisses Groupon's rejection of Google's offer

He doesn't totally dismiss it - his reaction was provocative but much more measured than "totally dismissed". For reference:

"Will the public market tip the deal in Groupon's favor, or will Mason--like many of his would-be customers--wish he had bitten on that offer?"
