As a result we have a film that is not fun not equipped with the character that we want but still expects us to enjoy the ride.
In other words, they're no longer going to charge you for letting other people see the material that you've created. How generous. I'll believe that they're "embracing openness" when they let you export your entire course in some type of usable, standard, documented, non-encrypted, non-DRMed format. Bb is a "course motel". Content checks in, but it doesn't check out.
Sure, the energy of these neutrons would account for less than 0.2% of the total energy released, but do some math.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert
The unit gray measures the absorbed dose of radiation (D), absorbed by any material. The unit sievert measures the equivalent dose of radiation (H), having the same damaging effect as an equal dose of gamma rays.

Both the gray, with symbol Gy and the sievert, with symbol Sv are SI derived units, defined as a unit of energy (joule) per unit of mass (kilogram):

1 Gy = 1 Sv = 1 J / kg

So, 2KW of gamma rays = 2000 joule per second = 2000 Gy / second. But high energy neutrons are significantly worse than gamarays so you need to multiply that by a (function of linear energy transfer L in keV/μm) but in this case we are dealing with a few different reactions all of which are producing 2+ MeV neutrons so it's 2000 times worse than Gamarays.

But, how bad could 4,000,000+Gy / second be?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_poisoning#Table_of_ex...
6–8Gy = 95-100% Mortality

Granted that's 360^2 degrees so it's spread over 4Pi*R^2, but newton radiation also is really nasty and hard to shield.
Somehow I feel like if you are spawning off threads while handling a web request, causing concurrency of data generated during the request, you are doing something wrong (that said: I've done it before, in Python; as I did it, however, I believed I was doing something wrong, and the complexity of the code jumped tremendously ;P), but it is a point well taken.

That said, I'm having a difficult time figuring out how that could actually cause a type safety problem, given the same constraints (using a safe memory management framework: garbage collection or stack-locked reference counting). I am totally willing to believe I'm missing something, however; care to provide an example (that does not involve type casts or unbounded pointer arithmetic)?

It is not actually prepared statements that does that, it is parametrized statements. Prepared statements is a related by mostly orthogonal concept.

Prepared statements are about caching parsing and query planning and storing queries for future use, this gains performance and convenience but not necessarily security. You can use parametrized queries without storing them as prepared queries at the server. This is what Perl DBI, libpq (the C binding for PostgreSQL) and many others do.

In PostgreSQL you can use PREPARE and EXECUTE directly instead of through the convenience functions in your driver and be vulnerable to SQL injections. E.g.

PREPARE foo (boolean) AS SELECT $1;
EXECUTE foo (pg_terminate_backend(42)));
I don't buy the color blind thing. That just means the only color you see is white.

I think the trick for doing anti-racism right is exactly the opposite. Learn to be surprised. Hey, that's odd, why no black people in the board room? Why no women? They're half of humanity, why aren't they here? Isn't it a bit odd that everyone in the room is straight, white, male, conventionally masculine and upper middle class?
I'm with you, but I sleep 8 hours a night. I'm generally home 12 hours at a minimum. If the car charges in less than 6 hours, it's doable.

250 mile daily limit is pretty good, that's 6+ hours of driving at average city speed limits.

Personally if I'm taking a trip, I'd likely get a rental and put the miles and liability on someone else. I wouldn't like to be driving my own vehicle with my own guests doing a trip from Ontario to Florida or PEI and blow a tire, or worse and it land on my insurance. I like the fact that I can sue the car rental company for up to $10 million, when I can only sue my own insurance for up to $1 million.
Your point is...? You don't agree with selling things for money? His story is untrue because of unrelated fact X?

Copyright doesn't just cover "exactly what's in their binaries", because of the derivative works statutes. If you translate a book from English to French, the resulting book is still under the copyright of the original author; the same goes for taking disassembly -> decompiled C.
I think it’s necessary to be ever vigilant when companies create an infrastructure for doing just that and to really scream bloody murder when they actually use it. I also can understand people who refuse to buy devices that actually support moves like that (Apple has the capability for remotely removing apps.) It’s a valid reason.

I, however, like to be more pragmatic.

1. As far as I know Apple never used that capability. They removed apps from the store, they never remotely removed apps from devices. (I think Apple claims that they only want to use this capability for removing maleware. Now, you might not believe them but their track record is pretty clean in that regard.)

2. Shitstorms will make anyone with such a capability think long and hard about actually using it. (I think Amazon at least apologized for what happened, I don’t know what else they did for the customers who lost their copies.) Apple can’t just treat their customers like crap.

It’s right to be vigilant about theoretical capability but I don’t think I’m completely irresponsible when I recognize factors that will prevent Apple from using their theoretical capability to its full extent.
That's an interesting question. I'd be inclined to say no, but without precedent in court on this, it's tough to say. The reason I'd say no is that while pseudocode serves the same function as a "narrative spec" in this case, it's inherently not a new creative work -- it'd be easy to allege that it's a derivative work. I don't think you'll have an easy time convincing any judge that just because your 'code' doesn't compile or run, it's not still code and treated the same as, say, some C or Python.
> I'm surprised any of you yanks still have any money left, considering how easy one can take all your money, if one comes into possession of your card.

In most cases, at least for Americans, if your credit card gets stolen, you aren't responsible for any of the fraudulent charges. I've had a credit card number stolen several times (about half travelling outside the US and half while in the US). I never lost a dime to any of the fraudulent charges, just several minutes of my time telling the credit card company.
I liked it, and I definitely would use it if my 3G connection was more reliable. Here in Brazil it is still quite slow and many times it does not work at all.

Ask HN: Dumbest thing you've seen in an API?
I'm playing around with Paypal IPN (Instant Payment Notifications) and I just realized that they are storing data in variable _names_ Eg: masspay_txn_id_x - "where X is the record number of the mass pay item" and there are many other _x variables. How about "item_name x" yes - that's a space in the variable name, and the description hints that it's even worse - "Item name as passed by you, the merchant. Or, if not passed by you, as entered by your customer." which I think means that the variable _name_ could literally be anything I or the customer choose it to be (and there could be an undetermined number of them).

So I ask you - what's the most crazy thing you've ever seen in an API?
Yeah, but Erlang is a fake language, and fake languages are known for doing impossible things. ;)
Yeah, some of us just don't fit in the modern world though. I can't focus on any one thing for 40 hours in any week. I get bored and lose interest. I can put 14 hours of high speed hacking in one day. But the next day I'll be lucky to get two hours of focus on code. On the other hand, I could easily put 8 hours of back breaking labor into the garden that next day. On the third day I won't be able to garden or focus on code, but I might be able to write a great blog article or work on that book I've been chewing on.

There is currently no space for someone like me in the work world. Jobs just aren't designed for generalists who need so much variety. So I'm stuck as a 40 hours a week programmer and struggling with it, because no matter how I try, I'm lucky if I can find 20 hours of real focus on programming a week.
Politics --- literally. The CM's market niche was high-end research, and most of the sales there were to labs and projects funded by ARPA (or DARPA; the D comes and goes). This led to accusations from competitors that [D]ARPA was steering the labs to the CM, which got a sympathetic ear in Congress --- and all of a sudden, the CM was completely unacceptable to [D]ARPA.

(Accounts of this vary; as an ex-employee and friend of many who remained during this period, the technical staff certainly believed that they were winning those sales with a better product, but those at, say, Kendall Square Research almost certainly believed the opposite, in good faith.)
I guess I attributed to "dude" what I see more people doing with "actor", an implication that changing the word itself (to dudette, or dudesse, I suppose) is more offensive than using a single term for a single idea that, itself, doesn't need to be gendered. Actually a quick Googling of "dude gender neutral" tells me dude's gender-neutral usage goes back to the 1970s, and has been written on some.

I certainly don't think women would want to be called "programmerettes" or "programmeresses" en masse. And I'm too afraid to Google those.

As to the points I was trying to make, my intent was to say that yes, I believe it absolutely would drive off more women than men by appealing to a culture that is male-dominant. But I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that it was done with the explicit intent of establishing a "no girls allowed" company. I do think those guys should've been more thoughtful about who they were appealing to, and I'm glad MattManser brought it to our attention; it's an interesting read. But I'm not as quick to call them sexist assholes. For all I know, they were going for a sense of cultural fraternity (that someone earlier in the thread excellently brought up as a word that, despite its roots, is a feeling we all typically aim to share.) Then again, that leads directly to my second point...

Being a part of that culture? That isn't a place I would want to work, either. But just because I find something untoward doesn't mean everyone would. That's what I mean when I said women get to decide what's offensive toward them, not men.

If men think something is offensive toward women, and women don't... Then I think it would be a very odd argument indeed. I think men can have an opinion on it, and I think most of us here probably agree it's at the very least tasteless, but matter like this, I would tend to defer to the party claiming offense. The question becomes what makes HER feel uncomfortable, and avoiding that.

It's something polite that could be done with anyone on any topic, but especially should be if the vast majority of a group finds it shockingly offensive.
augh. I read it only to find this out too. Not sure if I am going to read the other two though, to be honest... it's no sprawl trilogy..

Two hours of homework a week? My God. I had more than 2 hours of homework per day per class when I was in college -- 7 days a week! I also majored in math. Amazing what a difference the school one attends can make, apparently.
You know, on occasion this news site walks a fine line between actual motivation and the kind of platitudes and motivational rhetoric you'd expect from a minor cult. Seriously, here's a quote from the article:

"Understand that failure is not the opposite of success. Failure is an essential part of success. Once you succeed, no one will remember your failures anyway."

Thank you, oh pyramidal guru of total bullshit.
I've been seeing it as well, but have never spent any time digging to find out why.

My claim is that well designed C++ programs do not have calls to delete at all, not just ones that cause bugs: you come up with your memory abstraction, you build that part of the system (it is likely that this code will have a single call to delete in it), and then your actual program relies on that as a "runtime": if the code in that area calls "delete", you do not allow that code, and treat it as a build failure.

I have been responsible for projects with on the order of hundreds of thousands of line of C++ (such as for a video game we were developing), and the only calls to "delete" were in the stack-locked reference counting implementation I designed, and a few optimized containers. It isn't even hard to think like this in a language like C++, and isn't highly different than a language like Haskell (you build abstractions from unsafePerformIO: you don't routinely code with it).
My bet for a brain simulator is on memristor[1] based neural networks. HP is commercializing[2] memristor storage devices as we speak. We need economies of scale such that memristor computing becomes cheap enough to implement universally. Unfortunately, one off research technologies are far too expensive to produce in the necessary quantities for AI research.

Designing Thinkup 2.0
I'm not sure if I'd agree with any side here. Probably don't have enough information from the place itself. However the situation itself reminds me of a similar conversation between managers and developers.

Managers made great plans and tried to structure everything. More processes, more control, more planning, more measuring. Meanwhile good developers did as much work as they could while trying to workaround the processes to make their lives easier, sometimes argued the rules cannot be properly implemented, etc. Worse developers either tried to follow the program with either better or worse result, but usually with lots of bureaucracy and complaining. Bad ones ignored it and failed on all fronts...

What was definitely lacking was the trust that developers can do their job without constant managing... On the other hand, there weren't many good developers either.
I love when people explain process. This is an awesome explanation from Erika Hall with screenshots of their redesigned UI.

I'm very interested in using Haskell for web development as the most I've done with it is writing a Scheme subset -> x86 asm compiler. Has anyone done anything non-trivial with it? How does it compare to frameworks for other succinct languages like Django or RoR? Does Snap feature an ORM or is it SQL through the IO monad or similar?

"A research project had to load the full follower graph in memory"

Really? It had to? There was no possible alternative?

As often as I get the "fail whale" page on Twitter, I'm always skeptical seeing them present stuff like this and release code.

Maybe I'm just not grasping how large and popular Twitter is, but of the popular web services I use, Twitter fails more than all the others combined.

Though it was an interesting read, it seems suspect that they're having so many more problems than everybody else.
Really? Why do you think so?
Based on the number of upvotes my comment got, I'm not sure that a vast majority disagrees.
Really? I found the 20 or so times of "but that day wasn't an ordinary day for Montagna" phrases quite tiring, and the off-takes into background information too frequent, long and sometimes too unrelated. Sometimes less is more.

I'm quite new to Steve Pavlina writings. So I've checked with Wikipedia to get an idea on his claims.

He already got college credits from high school and studying at Berkeley, this important detail is nowhere found in the article.

I've also found that most of the advice sounds great but is hard to impossible to apply.

He appears to be exceptionally clever but a term paper on math and engineering problems are not written with a 12h marathon on the weekend, at least not on my university.

Can anyone recommend serious advice?
This. A thousand times this.

I was talking to a friend of mine about the "Digital Dark Ages." He didn't believe me that we were unable to view data that we had sitting around on computers anymore; one of my prime examples was computer games from the 80s that relied on bugs in the hardware to run. I'm glad that emulators exist to be provide that service.

But, man, being able to say, "Yeah, here's the URL to the gist of Choplifter," would be something completely different. The level of accessibility provided by the World's Largest Runtime (tm) would be unreal.

This one reads like it was padded with descriptions of how well the container was passed from port-to-port and so on.

I actually found that part pretty interesting, but admittedly it depends on what you already know and what you were hoping to get out of this article. To me, the radiation-disposal incident served as a nice set-up to explain the interlocking networks of containerized shipping and security, which aren't normally on my radar (I know all that exists, I just know nothing about it). I'll admit that if you approach it as a pure whodunnit, it's got a ton of padding and could be summarized in a paragraph or two.
Product selection is probably the subject with the most impact, and you are right, it's the next logical step. Unfortunately A/B testing could be a little much for an 11-year-old :)

It's interesting that even at this micro scale, we immediately get into discussions about A/B testing, traffic, sales pipelines, direct sales, etc.
I guess my point is that when a story sounds too good to be true, you have to consider the source.

There is a nice sub-discussion in this reddit thread about the value of learning/knowledge. Is there value in knowledge if it isn't used to do something?
If you're going to raise science on a pedestal, you should write a comment other than "Oh it's science, we should trust whatever those scientists are doing." (C.f. the Milgram experiment.) We don't need to mindlessly praise research; we have peer review for a reason.

This seems to be the original Implicit Association Test or IAT paper (from 1998). It's quite accessible and should provide a better justification for why this research is rigorous and novel.
