Author of DiabloMiner, the worlds most popular GPU miner, here... I think you mean SHA256.

If they're stuck on CUDA, I feel sorry for them. They'd be better off rewriting the app to use OpenCL to take advantage of AMD's superior chip design and not be stuck on Nvidia/Windows (Nvidia Linux support, especially under CUDA, is horrible; rather depressing once you consider most CUDA clusters run Linux).
Sure. But have you ever found a large company that paid any of their bills on time? Particularly after they have the deliverable, their incentive is very much to allow their middle managers to continue inventing 'concerns' and delay payment.

Everything was couched in "We're really happy. We're not sure why Bob isn't. But we'd really like you work with him to sort that out."
There is a loud "dual input" voice + a red light just infront of you. Also if you push the red button on the sidestick and keep it pressed you override all te commands of the other one. This has several reasons, taking away the control from a disoriented pilot or disengaging a malfunctioning sidestick which is commanding random inputs.
> I know that these measures suck and all but is the US government really becoming as evil as people say?

Your government (just like any other) is full of people who only care about their own personal gain. It's a slippery slope.

The Western world is full of politicians taking campaign donations (=bribes) in exchange for weaseling through whatever legislation their benefactors benefit from (at the expense of ordinary people), and that presents no problem for their consciences. Further along on the same road, there are places like Egypt, where the government tortures citizens to make an example of what happens when they have the audacity oppose their masters.

They want personal gain, and they want to maintain whatever machinery provides it to them. They're all just people though, the same human race all over. If an Egyptian homo sapiens is capable of abhorrent tyranny, so is an American one.

It's two opposing camps: the government against the governed. Just like in a war, the enemy is not really personified. It's just them vs us.

I get the appeal of moving towards a more general lisp dialect, but does it have to be CL, because Scheme seems pretty reasonable too, which there are also full-fledged GPL implementations owned by the FSF. And there's already an effort to move Emacs to it, it's just not ready yet.
It is, but where does the idea that Forbes is respectable come from? It's not; maybe it was once, but it hasn't been so for years.
There's already an effort to do this using Scheme, it's just not ready for this release.

Is CL really that much better than Scheme?

I'm not sure how you can claim CUDA is nicer. CUDA is not a public specification, it has poor documentation, and it only works on Nvidia.

I am a software engineer (or whatever the popular term this week is) who uses OpenCL frequently. I couldn't imagine being stuck on something like CUDA, between the C++ obsession and the fact it follows Nvidia Cg's way of syntax design instead of GLSL (OpenGL Shader Language) makes it difficult to use.

In addition, there never will be a native Linux implementation that is open source as Nvidia has basically tried to screw over Mesa/Gallium repeatedly with vague IP rights threats (see also, Nouveau, the X/Gallium driver for Nvidia cards, and how they unofficially threatened to sue if Nouveau continued reverse engineering hardware interfaces; they backpedaled when it got media coverage).

So, I dunno about you, but I don't like depending on companies that continuously screw developers who made the mistake of supporting their hardware.

OTOH, AMD has paid over $2 million in their open source efforts including having their legal department clear the programming manuals for use by X/Mesa/Gallium and also hiring multiple full time developers to work on the open source drivers, and has clearly supported FOSS at every turn.
Lumbricus Rubellus - Overview
Having spent a whole lot of time researching the effects of patents in the pharmaceutical world, I am really going to question you on that as well.

Do you know who spends roughly the same percent of their revenue on R&D as the pharma companies?

Apple! In fact Apple spends astronomically on R&D. One of the best in the field.

You know who doesn't? Samsung Mobility. Moto Mobility. HTC.

But that's to be expected: we know they're not innovators, they're assemblers.
The inventor of the ballpoint pen was named Biro (interesting because as a kid we all referred to ballpoint pen as "biros" so I guess this wasn't exactly an obscure fact). Bich improved on Biro's invention, mainly in ink and process, but the classic "Bic Biro" had a rounded hexagonal cross section (which meant the pens wouldn't roll off desks, evn when separated from their lids) not the cylinder of the more modern pen shown in th article. Is this obvious? I can't find out if this design was patented, but I would be surprised if it weren't.

I realize that it's annoying that what seems like such an obvious and simple design might turn out to be protectable under IP law. Certainly Apple has produced many seemingly more clever and inobvious designs that have turned out to be less easy to protect.

If you look at the kindle fire it's a rounded rectangle with a flat screen. It supposedly represents the first credible threat to the iPad. Is Apple suing? The kindle fire is obviously a lot like the iPad for the kinds of reasons usually raised, but it's not a slavish imitation of the iPad. It's not rounded in the same way. The home screen doesn't feature an arrangement of icons designed, superficially to resemble the iPad home screen. And so on. It's perfectly possible to create a tablet with rounded corners that isn't weirdly identical to the iPad. It's perfectly clear to anyone who has watched Samsung over the years that they're the Burger King of consumer electronics. They let the market leader do the R&D and then slavishly imitate their successes. If someone behaved this way in elementary school you'd call them a cheat and move a desk away from them; getting caught doing it in academia should end your career (but before you get caught it might get you tenure), but it's dandy in business. Frankly, I'd be happy to see more companies get smacked down for behaving this way.

I also wonder why we've basically been seeing a series of histrionic anti Apple pieces from Tech Crunch over the last few days.
Or, he could be advocating the most agile process that the technology of the time (1970) would allow. Remember that there were no desktop computers, no internet, the programming language C was just being created.
To be fair, 5970s are dual GPU cards and would probably overheat packed in like that. 5970 have two 5870s, but are downclocked so the performance is closer to two 5850s.

8 5870s packed into two cases would survive if you keep the cases closed and put 3 Delta AFB1212s in the front pushing all the air through the cards and out their rear vents, this is how most Bitcoin miners build cases.*

If done right, 8 5870s should easily be kept under 85c even when marginally overclocked.

* Large scale Bitcoin miners have a habit of not using cases and use flexible risers to keep the cards away from each other out in the open. I do not recommend this as you lose out on high pressure cooling, a staple of enterprise/high performace computing.
no, really... ideas are worthless. show me three people who were ever paid any substantial sum for just an idea—no implementation or ability to produce one.

All the examples on the first page of google (except maybe for the youtube and facebook links - didn't bother reading those) consist of proponents of increased Mexican immigration stupidly comparing a proposed border fence to the Berlin wall.

However, I'll admit that I've also seen proponents of secure borders making Berlin wall comparisons under one circumstance. Often proponents of increased Mexican immigration claim a secure border is impossible to construct, and the Berlin or Korean DMZ is brought up by their opponents to prove they are incorrect.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that. There is more than one way of representing many text sequences using Unicode; for example, combining diacritics vs accented characters. To do the Right Thing (tm), you need to normalize, and that adds at least another pass over the whole string.

If you just deal with it on a byte by byte basis, you're not actually Unicode compatible. It might be fast, but it's not Correct.
"SL5 until 2021" really means "bugfixes and security updates only," of course. The future of the technology is stagnation.

I took three pictures. My T2i camera made the pictures look like they were taken in daylight so I edited them making them dimmer, and then dimmer with high contrast. The dimmed high contrast pictures look like the eclipse as seen with the naked eye.

For getting dtrace-like traces under Linux I strongly suggest getting oprofile (http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/news/) working on your target machine. I've used it on a PPC embedded board and it worked wonderfully. Do not optimize that which you have not measured.

You might have something interesting to say here but it is hard to tell because of the rhetorical contortions, the extensive listings, the amplifications. All these may make good play, but make no good HN comment.
No. Many of those tablets have features (eg, rectangular shape with rounded corners) that are supposed to be not obvious.

It's more evidence that a lot of iPad is evolutionary not revolutionary. See also PDAs which contain a bunch of features which are covered by patents. (a big menu button at the bottom centre of the screen).
When I was working for AMD, I heard from the GPU guys that one of big the reasons they weren't seeing a lot of HPC-space adoption for the Radeons was because they didn't (yet) support ECC for the DRAM.
There are definitely far fewer apps in their app marketplace. However, the core apps that I use quite frequently are there and are just as good as their iOS counterparts (if not better...both Spotify and Twitter I prefer on Mango). There are a few exceptions here for me like 1Password which is not near as good as the iOS version but to be fair they offer it for free on Mango compared to the 15.00 price tag on iOS.

The one thing I'm really excited about though is that the developer tools are second to none. Microsoft has made it very simple to build very nice looking applications very quickly. As a developer that just moved to this platform I see the limited apps as great opportunity to help improve this platform even further and I plan on doing just that!
Why would you expect a business (an entity that subsists entirely on money) that has made shitloads of money to suddenly stop doing everything it can to continue to make shitloads of money?
While I like the standardization afforded by REST, I frequently run into some artificial limitations that are imposed on the different request methods. For example, I find that I would frequently like to pass structure information in a GET that would be more useful to send in a body (as afforded by a POST).

One prime example relevant to this article would be a GET that was effectively a query by example. So a client could basically submit a skeleton of the data that it would like.

This would let a client "go deep" on some portions of the structure and shallow on other aspects. Imagine the following GET request for that calorie counting Android App in the post:

GET /orders/432544
{ "toppings":
[{ "calories": ""}]
}

With a response that would be:

200 OK
{ "toppings":
[ { "calories": 100 }
, { "calories": 25 }
]
}

This would give any client the ability to ask for exactly what it wanted with different depths to the structure if necessary. While you could serialize that into a URL, that seems like a kludge. I think in general, the HTTP methods made sense for their original design, but as we move on to building more flexible, integrated data system, a more powerful flexible API mechanism may be warranted.

Still an indication of bad mental habits. And it doesn't strike me as out of line with his actions (complete disregard of the empirical information he had) the minutes before.
Boom! I can't agree with you more on the proponents of "no job" degrees. I've lost count of the number of students pursuing degrees in philo, comm, psych, sociology, and to some extent even undergraduate business degrees who give little or no thought to how these degrees will help them in the job market. Slightly less common are the people who know what they might want to do with their degree, but haven't investigated whether or not their plan is realistic.
There is still only speculation that this will be the last version. That said, it will most likely fit the bill for a lot of apps in it's current form. If SL5 can give you what you want, I don't see a real problem not to use it to develop your next app. It has the tools now and it's in production now.

Pitot tubes are always under strong heating during flight( so strong that the steel may blue). The problem with the 330 pitots brand in particular( there are several ) is that they cant evacuate water fast enought and sometimes they could become unserviceable ( as it happened to the af ) as they don't sense air preasure anymore.
The pen pen identified in the article even complicates his argument. When I see the identifiable white cylinder Bic pen with distinctive black text, with a black or blue-colored head and cap, I know it is a Bic or a pen closely imitating Bic's style. Pens come in an enormous amount of variety and styles despite the form being mostly equivalent.

Now compare an iPad and a Samsung Galaxy Tab when they are both off. Ignore the subtle "Samsung" logo in the front, or the Apple logo in the back. Black front with metallic bevel and back. Any consumer would either confuse the two or say they are imitating each other. Apple's design patents may be stretching the meaning of novelty, but when consumers can so easily confuse the two, it is hardly defensible for Samsung to say there were no distinctive factors they could have added to lessen the confusion. The TouchPad had a slick black back to it and an oblong home screen button. The Kindle Fire is smaller and dark grey. Etc.
I must admit that I find it a little disappointing that an article of this length on hash functions doesn't mention universal hashing at all.
I would honestly support some sort of provision where politicans were never allowed to work again, give them an extremely generous pension (even a million dollars a year pales in comparison to the cost of corruption). I think this is the only real effective way to combat the "revolving door" bullshit.
It says Google+ not Google.

That said, the 1998 version of Google looked much, much better than their mocked up 1997 version of Google+.
For these political reasons, it's important to have executive-level support, or else it would never fly. My first job out of school was doing exactly as the gp suggests at a national telecom. Job-shadowing people in their day-to-day work, understanding their problems, and turning around web/desktop apps within days or weeks to solve their problems. We had huge success. We won an international award for what it's worth (Stevie Awards for Best Support Team). We saved our company millions, and were one of the keys for the company to survive a big labour dispute. Can you believe that previously, for a national telecom, all orders for corporate telecom solutions had to be gateway-checked by a single person? We democratized stuff like that so that processes could be much more flat. No need for requirements documents, no change control, complete freedom of creativity, complete freedom to decide what work to accept, etc. I know how that's sometimes necessary for big projects, but for small high-ROI stuff, it was beautiful.

The other side of the story is that we ran into huge political problems. Every day, someone was trying to kill our team because we were making the traditional IT groups look bad with our turnaround time and solutions that worked. On the other side, we were automating things that people didn't want automated. If we didn't have support from the CEO down through a specific chain of command, we would have been killed within months, if not weeks. We didn't even call ourselves developers. Our official position title was business analyst because then IT would bug us less. We weren't even part of the official IT department because those guys couldn't get outside the box. So we were just a small group of business analysts who tried to hide until we were too successful to hide anymore. That's when the attacks really started coming. And then we continued to be successful, and then they started trying to copy us instead. Last I heard, that team's unfortunately been swallowed up by the bureaucracy now, and is a shadow of what it once was.

Fascinating experience.

There are some similar provisions in U.S. law, but they are easily circumvented by "consulting" rather than "lobbying."

Additionally, the U.S. Constitution does not really permit blanket restrictions on employment for individuals. Among other things, this ties in with the 13th Amendment that bans slavery and indentured servitude. You also have a free speech right to lobby.

In fact, the current restrictions are probably unconstitutional.

Anyway, these measures are treating a symptom. The real problem is that the federal government is vastly too large in size and scope. Reduce the power and programs run by the federal government, and radically simplify the tax code, and you'll dry up the opportunities for corruption.

> but it's not a slavish imitation of the iPad.

The slavish/not slavish distinction is actually key when it comes to design. Look at Nokia's Lumia phone. It is clear that Lumia's design is iPhone-inspired, but it is in no way a slavish imitation, unlike a certain device from Samsung. In fact I just love how Lumia's stylish and ergonomic design makes a compelling argument against the rhetoric that "a black rectangle with rounded corners is the only logical/possible design".

A lot of people here are understandably worried about protecting smaller business owners from patent threats from established companies, especially using ridiculous/obvious patents for which prior art existed. I think that's a genuine concern. What they completely miss however is how much money companies like Samsung make by letting someone else do all the hard design/visionary work for them and by confining themselves solely to the role of the imitator/free rider.
Funny you refer to the TouchPad. I have one and whenever someone sees it they just say: "Oh, you have an iPad!"

Yes, because once all that power exists at the state level instead, the companies will all surrender and stop trying to incentivize officials into giving them a competitive advantage.

No, more likely they'll just move to the state level. And it'll probably cost them less at that, since state officials are significantly less visible and will have less power.
As Knuth was given his task, McIlroy was given his own which he performed well.

I disagree that code reuse only works in rare instances. Rather, code reuse works better in small focused pieces than in large chunks. Utilities such as "sort" get used a lot.

The rare part is that a whole solution can be made out of UNIX utilities, not that UNIX utilities are used at all. Being familiar with the utilities available, much of the coding I currently do ends up being domain specific processing called from a shell script, often in a pipeline.

Also, sometimes I can answer feature requests from users by showing them how they can actually do it themselves on the UNIX command line. This kind of thing is often forgotten, as it's no longer "development." But code I don't have to write because the user can reuse utilities should certainly count.

This is McDonalds. I'm having trouble thinking of employment for which more people are qualified if at least (1) able-bodied and (2) have at least a middle-school education. There is virtually nothing beyond those requirements that needs to be taken into consideration. If 938000 applicants were rejected, I can only assume that the majority of the rejections were for reasons other than lack of qualification.
