Does anyone have any decent Comcast alternatives for South Florida (Palm Beach area)? I'd love to flip off Comcast over this but I'm not sure where else to put my money. I will be needing internet access, after all.
Baghdad blasts: Hashemi accuses government over attacks ~ Daily World News
The TV studios are all behind SOPA as well, so canceling cable in general isn't a bad idea. As a side benefit you no longer have to watch TV. :)

Maybe that's a "young person thing" though. My parents watch a decent amount of TV, the only channel that appeals to me out of the hundreds that they get[1] is Comedy Central... for one hour a day. After going to college and being without TV, I really have no stomach for commercial breaks anymore.

[1] not actually sure about this, Comedy Central is 600-something, I guess they might not all be used though. Still probably hundreds.
Neutrality is important to their culture, and it could be difficult for some to separate "we don't want to support harmful practices and products" from the politics of those practices and products.
I would be shocked if any static analyzer could be truly useful for validating the implementation of a virtual machine, let alone one like SQLite's. The fact that SQLite makes heavy use of dynamic typing also seems like it would defeat attempts by a static analyzer to validate code.

I didn't even think of TV. I don't have a TV. Comcast provides my Internet and there isn't an alternative in my area (besides dialup). My parents have FiOS. I wish it were available to me. How do you get your Internet?
You've misspelled 'Rogue' in the URL. The correct spelling yields a PDF.
IIRC, the BSA backed away from SOPA a while back (after a similar but shorter and less extensive pressure campaign focused on its members). I'd say that makes BSA membership less relevant at this point.

GoDaddy, A Hapless Victim Of The Mob
"I've seen the argument: if someone is so clueless about rationality as to be religious, how could they make a good scientist?"

Because the argument itself is a fallacy. Believing that God exist does not make you less rational that believing that God does not exist(witch uses to be the theological affiliation of the people that proclaim the statement).

One or the other is a prejudice. If the statement were true the best option should be to be agnostic, to be able to consider both options as true, and try one and then the other. The ancient Greeks used this thinking methodology regularly.

They knew that believing our beliefs are true is a trap, everybody believes that their believes are true.

Even with wrong believes you could explore options that makes you find a valid solution. Columbus calculations(believes) for getting to Japan were terrible wrong, but it was useful anyway.
The game ships a libmysql library. Unless they got a commercial license for it, that's a GPL violation in the wild.

The whole point of the wait on various download sites is to throw advertising for Premium on you. They also make you scroll past “buy premium” buttons and such to reach the download button on some sites. I think you can assume that if someone is complaining about the wait time for a download site, they have already considered and rejected buying Premium.
Most important, firms will discover that they can extract value from the data. A study by the McKinsey Global Institute, a think-tank, found that analysing health-care data could yield $300 billion-worth of savings in America alone.

I smell BS. Sounds like they're priming the pump for big consulting contracts.
Do make sure the company you switch to isn't supporting SOPA either, cause that would be embarrassing.
It isn't a GPL violation because the game is just interfacing with a master MySQL database, not using one to store local content.
One reason is that MegaUpload (and a few other download sites) blocks certain countries from downloading from it. The two countries I have personally experienced blocking in are Egypt and Malaysia. In Egypt, the page always said that the number of download tickets for my country has been exceeded, no matter what time I tried to download at. In Malaysia, the site doesn’t load at all.
I think they are looking at this from the wrong perspective (although it's easy to do). An overly political stance from GoDaddy has forced Wikipedia to make a decision.

It's the same reason why I think Google and other big tech platforms shouldn't use their service to promote anti-SOPA initiatives... once you go down that track, your service is seen as divisive and political.
After using Namecheap, Godaddy and a number of others I have settled on Gandi because I find their whole attitude great. I really appreciate the way they dont try and upsell... ever. And a while ago they did a promotion where they gave out a free domain for every year you had been a customer. I believe they really do care about their customers and it shows in the way they do business and how they get out of your way until you need them.
For Perl there is Perl::Critic which also highlights when you're not adhering to best practice idioms.

I use it regularly on client projects (it's like giving your code a certification!) and its heavily used/recommended in the Perl community.

It would be a bad joke, if that article was not meant so seriously.
Is using GoDaddy going to hurt my company?
Some of the godaddy madness and idiocy is starting to worry me.
I have been using godaddy for years as my default domain register, their service is excellent and I did not have a single problem with them.

Lately I see vast numbers of ignorant people bashing godday, their usual claim is "goddady sucks, i never used it (because it sucks), but it sucks".

Why the f are you even talking if you have never used it?
Some more claims about their constant up sales. Just ridicules. goddaddy will popup a single window to suggest some more domains, then you just click "no thanks". That’s it.

If anything, it works as opt-in, you must pick it manually to buy it.

All the other supposedly godaddy shenanigans, are in fact the users fault, either they didn't understand what they were doing, or their whole email account got hacked, but instead they go screaming at godaddy for losing their domains.

Now this SOPA thing. I have a better suggestions, lets boycott the whole US, obviously i don't want to do business with a government where people want to pass such laws... yeah.

No employee at godaddy cares about SOPA, it was most likely some management political decision, it backfired, but even now when godaddy stopped supporting SOPA people still spout nonsense around.

There is even a post on hn about a guy moving 60 domains and thinking godaddy cares, they don't. It is just their job, to make sure someone didn't hack your account, and when someone does and no one calls, you will remember this day.

I really don't want to leave goddady, but I am sure I will receive emails saying "why are you using evil godaddy? They want to destroy the internet". I guess most people don't know what a whois is, but still.

btw, read a book, or the wiki at least you ungrateful ba...

My favorite quote from the article: "Shrink your important code."

and he explains why:

"There was a paper recently that noted that all of the various code quality metrics correlated at least as strongly with code size as error rate, making code size alone give essentially the same error predicting ability. Shrink your important code."
The less one knows about a system the more layers of firewall he will put up to protect it.

People get astonished when I insert a virus infected USB disk into my Windows machine and use Explorer to safely copy files from it. And when they ask what anti-virus I use, I say "None, never used any anti-virus in my life. I reversed engineered a lot of viruses and I know how they work."

> Please never apply to a company that I am working for!

Sure. Thanks.
I donated to Wikipedia as a direct result of their decision to dump GoDaddy. I spent a good chunk of my day lobbying those I know with tons of domanis at GoDaddy to dump them immediately.
That piece is chemically cleansed of any sense. The writer argues that it took long for the campaign to work. Compared to what? "Holding authority to account is an art best practised by professionals in the media." - why? It is quite clear that the financial pressured exerted by customers leaving is a pretty effective means of changing the "mind" of a corporation, which is exactly what happend here. "Their customers were swept up in the flood. They had no choice but to comply." - or they just happen to agree that giving their cash to a Internet services company, that is clueless about the fundamentals of the Internet is a pretty bad idea.

That would be great. Maybe there should be a new open source software license featuring total denial of rights to use to the MPAA/RIAA member companies too.
As a guy who lives in a 7x5m studio somewhere in Eastern Europ, in a building like this one http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3152/3082829290_9653703b1e_b.j..., I try and try again to find out why would you need three bathrooms and five bedrooms, but I really cannot think of any reasons.
Maybe "Source is pretty credible" means something different to you? With the meaning it has in rawrly's comment, you could replace it with "Straight from the horse's mouth."
Not having nulls for every type is just the tip of the iceberg, there's so much information contained within the type of values and it's so easy to add even more.
Playing through is not difficult enough to be flow. The article has valid advice but it's nothing new and the title is wrong.

democracy? what democracy?
Well, I proposed three dimensions!

Check out that podcast I linked. Short of running as or supporting your own candidate, it's kind of how politicians are swayed in any democracy.

If you walked up to a representative and say, "I have these many thousands of members in your constituency, all of whom manage or work in large companies or other institutions and we suggest you do this or that" then that politician is likely to take notice.

The sad part is money is often required to grease all of those wheels, from simply getting private quality time with your rep (see that lobbying podcast) to paying someone to have the time to write up policy recommendations and collect member names and so on so forth.
Feedback on landing page nevermiss.it
Wasn't the actual file on house.gov misspelled as "Rouge" originally, and now apparently corrected?
I use DreamHost for my registrations (with no hosting account).

They accept Amex and will auto-renew. They're $9.99/yr (or within a few cents of that) and that includes private registration if that's something you're looking for. I've had no problems with them, their interface isn't perfect, but it's a lot nicer than most registrars' systems that I've used.

Now for the bad. They don't offer DNS service without a hosting package. I actually use NameCheap's DNS. NameCheap (being kinda a stand-up company) offers free DNS service to you even if you aren't their customer. And, frankly, their DNS control panel is nice enough that I would switch to them, except for the fact that they don't auto-renew and they charge extra for private registrations.

If you don't need DNS, DreamHost seems to work nicely. Decent control panel to make changes in, private registration included in the fee, auto-renewal, $9.99 price, and accepts Amex. It isn't their primary business, but they are ICANN accredited - and they aren't that small (http://www.dotandco.net/ressources/icann_registrars/details/..., see New Dream Network - not that far off from Name.com or Gandi).
I submitted this article because it needs picking apart. Here goes:

Mob

Let us look at the definition of the word mob:

A large crowd of people, esp. one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence.

Well I do not think that is a fair description of the people supporting this campaign. I would say it looks more like this:

1. A formal declaration of disapproval or objection issued by a concerned person, group, or organization.
2. An individual or collective gesture or display of disapproval.

That is the definition for the word protest.

//The writer quite-rightly points out that the DMCA is US legislation. - https://twitter.com/nero/status/150529577020698624

In an objection vacuum, it becomes necessary to question whether the issue at hand is a proxy for old wounds

the objections to SOPA are sound.

So, just to be to be clear, when there is an objection vacuum, it becomes necessary for the writer to question the motives of the people objecting despite the fact that the writer agrees that the objections to SOPA [which] are sound - I am confused. Playing devil's advocate is often a useful mental exercise - but the writer does not put forth a single argument in favour of GoDaddy.

GoDaddy, we should remember, is the victim here

I have always thought that an enemy of my enemy is my friend. The writer does not like SOPA but does not-not like supports of SOPA. How odd. One would have thought that if the writer objects to SOPA he would also object to the support of SOPA by a company that is part of the fabric of the web. Thankfully, the truth finally comes forth, the writer is pro-journalists and anti-amateurs:

Holding authority to account is an art best practised by professionals in the media.

Interesting. Is the writer such a professional in the media? Is he great at his art? If so, I would not pay for the canvas, let alone the painting.

This was a battle worth fighting. But the shock and awe of the mob becomes a less effective method

Call me stupid, but hasn’t the mob just managed to affect change? Haven’t we just proved that if people pull together through the Internet we can win? Haven’t we just shown ourselves and the media that Twitter-campaigns can be a very effective method? I guess the writer thinks not. The simple reason is:

Outrage is becoming passé

Now I understand. We should all chill out. Well, I definitely need to after reading this article.
I would say that the best economic value is being delivered if we consider some code fragments that are almost never covered by tests (any of them) - like error detector.

You may have wife and kids, for one thing. Or wife, kids, and parents you take care of.

My parents have 5 children, and while now their house is way too big for their needs, it was not the case when me and all my siblings lived with them.
Agreed. I submitted the article because it made me furious.
Agreed. It may just be link-bait (in which case, you WIN) but I had to submit it and do my best to tear it apart.
In a longer run this may not look as good for Wikipedia as it does now. It shows that they are willing to sacrifice their cultural values, particularly neutrality, for other impromptu values that Jimmy sees fit to promote. It also shows that they are willing to turn on their business partners and screw them.

This is the logical next step part of a much longer trend on Wikipedia, that of the solidification of power in the hands of a few, which has been happening with the editing for some time.
The problem here is if hardware and algorithms for static analysis are improving at linear pace, applications are growing at least exponentially (if we add-in 3rd party libraries).

Vi er dog altid i stand til at vælge det rigtige materiale til etageadskillelse isolering hos netop dig, og vi forklarer naturligvis også gerne, hvorfor vi netop vælger, som vi gør!
The problem is that errors of omissions (code that should be there but isn't) are almost by definition harder to spot than errors of existing code, both for human and static code analyzers.
What Makes People Skeptical About Seo Services?
We look like they're skeptical about Search Engine Optimization Services because we merely partially really know what a decent Search engine marketing service is and how it assists our site. We feel, I could handle my own, personal search engine optimizing. I probably will present done, but it really had been 12 months plus it was to get traffic, and certain of the page rankings were to the first page belonging to the Search Engine's Rankings Pages.
I watched Nearly Free Speech go to bat for a friend being sued over a possibly frivolous trademark dispute. In the end, after my friend lost the lawsuit and the court ordered the domain name to be transferred, somehow Nearly Free Speech interpreted it as allowing said friend to keep the domain with a blank page on it and it's still up, several years later.

Ask HN: Books on Sales?
Whenever I have to tackle a new field, my approach is to look for books of a certain kind pertaining to that subject. The 'certain kind' is important as I feel those are that kind of books I absorb and apply. It is hard to define what the 'certain' element is, but I'll give some examples of authors such as Malcolm Gladwell, Steven Blank, Jason Fried & DHH, Michael Lewis, Joel Greenblatt, Paul Graham and Philip Fisher.

I have until now, been unable to best figure out what authors or books I should be reading for Sales. Please do let me know if you know of any such books or authors on the topic of Sales.

"Someone connecting to a "open" MySQL server will only be able to run those type of queries (select,update or delete) that he is explicitly permitted to run"

... bar any security vulnerability in your sql engine, which is bound to exist -- relational databases are historically less hardened than web servers, because they're less subject to abuse (they mostly run in safe intranets, not on the big bad Internet).

An application layer inbetween malicious users and your databases will provide proper input validation and security in addition to flaky db security, and (in most cases) it will guarantee that your database will remain intact should malicious users crash your front-end code -- which, when properly secured, will also have minimal rights on the schema, hence insuring that attackers don't get more rights than absolutely necessary for the app to run. At the very minimum, it will provide an additional barrier that malicious users will have to overcome before getting at your data goodies, giving you additional time to get on top of things.

The internet is a permanent war zone. Running an open relational database on the internet is like having an HQ not surrounded by tanks, because "after all, nobody can get through our glass doors unless they have the right papers".
It's better at catching type error in general (because it's much stricter in its handling of types), having moved the concept of nullability into the type system is just an (easy to understand, for most developers) example of that.

But it goes beyond that, even more so as the haskell culture builds upon this and actively encourages taking advantage of the type system by encoding as many things as possible in the program's types, where they can be statically checked.
