There are two flaws with this. One is that if something breaks that can't be manufactured with a 3d printer. (Solar panel, processor, gyroscope) The other thing that would be a problem is that you are just shifting it over to what the 3d printer uses as building material. Even if you put a stockpile up there it may still run out.
Ask HN: How do sites like ideone, topcode compile code on webserver
Hi,<p>I would like to know how do sites like ideone.com, topcoder.com etc take the code, compile it in the backend, run it and come back with the results.<p>My hunch is that the code is moved into a text file and then its compiled via gcc/javac/other compilers and then execute it and come back with the results.<p>I have two questions.<p>1. Is this scalable, and if not how to scale it up
2. How is the code sandboxed so that some malicious code doesn't get executed<p>Thanks
This is a good and necessary move for the WebFaction guys. I had a basic shared hosting account with them, and with 80MB of memory, you will run out of memory quite quickly if you run an app framework like Ruby on Rails.
As someone who's uneasy about how much influence Google's gaining, I switched back to Firefox for about a week recently.

FF8 seems better than previous versions as far as performance goes, but Chrome still seems to be the king, and as a dev I spend so much time on the web it really matters.
The difference is you can still collect welfare (although not social security) even if you've never worked a day in your life (and you get even more if you have lots of kids). India and most other poor countries have no such social safety net. The point kamaal is making is that most poor people in the US live better than 70-80% of the population in India (even those considered "middle-class"). This is slowly changing as India's economy is modernizing, but there's still a long way to go before the standards of living between both countries will be anything close to par.

As an aside, when I was in grad school in the US, my lab mate and I (both of us of indian descent, although born in the US) used to joke that for half our yearly stipend (about 25K) we could afford to hire a full time Ph.D. chemist in India to do our experiments while we slept. 10K USD in the India is considered middle/upper middle class.
I had some difficulty getting this to work on the Mac with either VLC or Quicktime/Flip4Mac. I ended up getting it to work using mplayer.

Watching this makes me realize that we don't need new regulations... we need new leaders... leaders who can compete and are knowledgeable on a global scale.
Is this your first time watching congress? Yes, shes required to read it, all you've really said is that its silly for her to do so, which it is. But its a formality and they'll normally move to have her STFU. In this case its a procedural runarund. Like a quorum in the senate, nobody actually cares that everyones there, and if they did care so much about attendance they'd have a better way to take it.

They did their homework beforehand, otherwise the chamber would be empty, like always.
Has anyone spent significant time in both? How many milli-emacs of functionality does Sublime have?

Emacs is over 35 years old (starting from the ITS version), so it's due to be replaced. But it's also really really entrenched.

I agree to an extent but they do need someone to basically take all the crap from the "stakeholders" and it may be better to not waste that on someone with technical knowledge
The first thing I did was to see if there were any distros I could remember that weren't listed... The first is Finn linux (or was it Fynn or Flynn?) that was an early attempt at a commercial distribution. I recall some ads in computer mags around '94 or '95 and it was fairly expensive (several hundred). Obviously it never went anywhere.

The other is the Linux Router Project which was a router/firewall distro that would fit on a 3.5" floppy disc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Router_Project) I actually used it and was disappointed that it didn't really go anywhere. It was nice to be able to back up your firewall by copying a floppy disk :)
If the jackal is breaking your windows you'll probably do something direct and immediate to defend yourself. If it's slinking just beyond the tree line you might decide to put another log on the fire and sip hot chocolate.
Yes, it's a comparison without a lot of meaning. :) It's more of a fun fact.

Visiting The Valley: Why It’s A Special Place For Startups
There are big problems with that logic. You may say "everyone smokes pot so you can't outlaw it" but they did. In fact it's common to make laws against things everybody does simply because it has become a rampant problem.

See, the problem is that it is not okay to bring a video camera into a theater, record a movie, and then give it out for free or profit. It doesn't matter if you believe copyright is silly or archaic, it's still law. I hate the laws currently being proposed that basically censor the web but the honest truth is that free distribution of paid content really does hurt the creator. The people who make the things that are worth the time to pirate need to be compensated and if they aren't getting paid then they either stop creating or make doing things the legal way a huge pain in the ass for both pirates and normal users.

Remember how you had to activate Windows XP back in the day? That was a huge pain in the ass for people who bought the software legally but was put in place because Microsoft had such a big piracy problem. I think we're actually creating this problem for ourselves and Shifting the blame and responsibility. Even the pirate websites who are giving lawmakers the biggest excuse to make these oppressive laws are actually being defended by the very people they are hurting. Which do you want more: the new Britney Spears single for free or an open, I censored web?

Firefox never supported Web SQL. There was no support to drop.
Interesting. Never seen this behavior. That error should really only happen if some reason the Jsonp APIs were not responding properly for some reason. Is it possible your network blocks some major social media APIs like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook etc?

Another key difference is the startup/shutdown process (and service management generally). Some use sysv stile init setup, some use the style more common with BSD.

Several distributions (such as Ubuntu and its derivatives) are moving towards replacing init and related scripts and tools completely with upstart or similar options (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init#Replacements_for_init).

"Games As An Aesthetic Form" Frank Lantz (NYU Game Center)
I like the clarity you describe in the German system, but the introduction of autonomous-mode-enabling infrastructure adds a point of "technical failure" that is way outside the vehicle owner's maintenance responsibility.

The concept of "damage my car does" becomes murky if an infrastructure-level failure causes my vehicle to come in contact with another, especially if both vehicles are provably-in-autonomous-mode at the time of the accident.

Which isn't to say that owner-pays wouldn't work, but we do want the system provider to have skin in the game, and such a policy could dramatically slow adoption of the technology by anyone who doesn't also want to assume liability for something they probably just massively funded through taxes (for example).

A solvable problem, in any case, and it's great that the tech is getting to the point where details like insurance effects are worth working on.

Again, read the entire thread. I am not confusing you with anyone else, and I understand the concept of quotes. You are failing to grasp the context of posts, and assuming everything anyone puts in quotes must be a statement you made. There are other people who post, why on earth would you think "your post is entirely irrelevant" is something I claim you said? I very clearly pointed out that two people replied to you saying that your post is irrelevant.
Will Talwk be restricted to social media? Latest news/articles/blogs can add a lot of value to the feed, especially if one wants to follow a live event. Also, if user can integrate their facebook/twitter account to Talwk, the site can then highlight and prioritize the stuff shared by people in the user's network.

Also, Just to check the buzz about Talwk, I visited tawlk.com/#!/tawlk and witnessed the oh-so-tragic condition of the enlish language on the interwebs.
0. It’s gorgeous

I completely disagree. I think it looks like akward, linuxy, OSS style. Textmate and VIM with a proper theme/font looks much better.

I tried playing around with various Sublime themes and fonts, but I just find its fundamentally awkward looking, and its not just a matter of tweaking it.

This might seem like a silly requirement but I'm also a designer as well as a developer. It would be something that would bother me daily.
A bit out of scope of the topic... I entered Malaysia from Singapore once, got to pay bribe of 100USD to pass the immigrations just because they didn't like my passport(Though my country is in no-visa list for Malaysia). That was a terrible experience because after living in Singapore for 3 years, I forgot about corruptions and such stuff. I openly declared the amout of each currency on me and they insisted that I give all my USD and CHY. I could have easily go back to Singapore, but I had another important flight to catch from KL to Beijing, so I would have lost more by returning to Sg than by bribing the officer. On the return I entered Malaysia from KLIA and it was smooth. I have many friends from Malaysia and I find their people nice and friendly, but after that incident, I just no longer feel like visiting Malaysia.

One of the nice things about F#'s pattern-matching is that it will not allow you to do this. It's amazing the number of bugs you can avoid like this.
Granted, it does vary by state (and country I suppose, if you're not US based), but here in North Carolina the overhead of an LLC is minimal. And there is something about registering a legal entity that makes things feel more "real" somehow.

I did my own LLC papers and paid the filing fee, which was a whopping 200 dollars or so, and the annual report stuff can be done online and requires a yearly fee of around 125 dollars, IIRC. Tax paperwork is also relatively minimal during the "pre revenue" days.

So is it worth it? Hard to say, but on balance I'm happy that I did it. Even though we'll have to do some extra paperwork later to transition to a traditional corporation when the issue of taking outside funding comes up.

YMMV, of course.
"Because being tired makes us better coders.

Similar to the ballmer peak, being tired can make us focus better simply because when your brain is tired it has to focus! There isn’t enough left-over brainpower to afford losing concentration."

Couldn't agree more. I find it easier to design complicated algorithm/architecture at night than I do during the day, even when I'm fully reseted and without distraction.
The once and future WebOS
To be fair, the headline is somewhat inflammatory, if subtly so. The phrase "selling nuclear technology to X", where X is {Iran, China, Cuba, Russia, North Korea}, tends to elicit a defensive response in Americans.

The contents of the article, of course, show this response to be incorrect here. I imagine the title was picked because of the response it would generate. It's catchy.
If you run Windows, you accept what you get. The same if you run Mac.

If you want to customize it you run Linux, simple as that.

There are prices and trade-of for all platforms. I run on them all I accept that Windows is a walled garden. I should not expect my things to stay as they are.
That was actually one of the particular things I was thinking of when I said "multiple solutions to the same problem", so I didn't add it as a separate thing. Though it is a pretty major difference that can trip someone up moving between two distros.

What technology do I need to watch this video on a mac?
I think has huge potential as indeed nowadays tools are being design for short-life durability and I think an open source effort can turn out tools that are more useful in that aspect and that will iterate to be all that is needed.

So the argument is basically, "I want my app to look like yours; so open source it for me to steal the layout." Is this really how people write software these days?
You can't expect every congressperson to be an expert on every bill they vote on. That is why they have assistants; to research the matter and brief the congressperson on it. Frequently their opinion will also be heavily influenced by lobbyists, rather than their own knowledge of the subject.

Another example are copyright and patent laws. The US makes a new law and surprise surprise, a few months later other governments in other countries start to see new laws proposed that look similar the US's laws.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/05/wikileaks-ca...

Prime Minster Stephen Harper "told the President last August that Canada would pass copyright legislation," the 2008 message notes. In fact, Harper wrote a personal letter to US Ambassador David Wilkins containing the pledge. "With respect to intellectual property rights, I can assure you that the Government of Canada takes the concerns you have raised in your letter very seriously," he promised the US in April of 2007.

This is the leader of Canada that did this. There are several nations that are much poorer that have politicians who would accept minimal bribes in order to start pushing for US-style laws.
So, I've been a life-long rider of mass-transit in Toronto, and Southern Ontario. I think I was 30 before I actually had to drive to a job.

You know what -- I hate transit during rush hour. It's uncomfortable, you don't get a seat. Ugh. During the off-times, it's great.

Traffic sucks, but at least you've got a little bubble of space over which you have control. This is psychologically significant.

Think of the difference between having a desk whose layout (or lack thereof) you control, versus working elbow-to-elbow at a long table with other people's jostling you and their crap falling in your space.

People need a certain amount of control over their space.

I think with autonomous cars it’s even easier to just split liability 50:50 (or any other way) when there is doubt about the cause. That already happens now, and if there are no egos but only machines involved I’m guessing it’s even easier.

I do agree that manufacturers have to have skin in the game, but that doesn’t necessarily have to happen through liability (though that’s certainly a possibility). I would imagine that there will, for example, be very tight and thorough certification of any new autonomous car.

This is in any way a very interesting topic to think about and I think that all the legal hurdles are very solvable once the technology is solid.

(By the way, I only added the remark about the German system because it’s the only one I know. I was under the impression that there are similar systems in place elsewhere, I’m just not sure about that.)

Therein is the fundamental difference. This isn't "write once, run everywhere". Nor is it a new platform. It is a method for bringing one code base to many platforms.
