My experience is more with languages that are typically compiled and would report this error as an error fairly early on, so the coder would correct it long before checking the code in.

What's the trade-off by having "undefined" returned instead of having an error reported as soon as the code is loaded?
2.7 introduced memoryview, and there are a slew of C API routines to interact with it ...

as for shared memory, have you tried just mmap'ing the node from /dev/shm ?
There are ways to raise this sort of error even in static languages: objc_sendMessage comes to mind

P.S. Notice how this is just, finally, happening a few days before the proposed "blackout" date. I believe one common phrase for this is "getting ahead of the story". (Thanks again, "West Wing".)
Aha! That sounds like just the ticket. I hope it's easy to use. A million thank-you's, and a Salami.

EDIT: I just saw your edit. That's what I'm doing --- shm_open(), ftruncate(), then mmap(). A little annoying that it doesn't automatically kill the shared memory when the program terminates, but still...
If you are serious about it, there's a book by Mark Rippetoe called Starting Strength that explains this in more detail.
It's pretty slick, and I've had good results using it in conjunction with a C program that generates data.

I'm a big fan of patio11, read his posts and even went to see his talk in Osaka. The idea of scalable content creation was interesting and I have been thinking about how to apply it here. I'm starting by having individual pages for each candy, for example http://www.candyjapan.com/chelsea-butter-scotch

Not sure if that will really be applicable to this, though. I should go back and re-read his posts.
I had this problem as a junior dev when my english was weaker. The problem stems from that 'height' is spelled with 'ht', but width with 'th'. Since one often write those words in conjunction, it is easy to mix the endings up. If you're then a non-native speaker and don't run spellcheck on your code, you might end up writing 'lenght' and 'heigth' quite a few times, I know I did :)
I usually just throw on my workout clothes and take a pre-workout product, then I'm ready to work out. I don't know if pre-workout drinks work all that well but they certainly add a placebo effect that makes me feel ready to workout...caffeine can help too.

C# I can understand being so low, since it's almost always written in Visual Studio or MonoDevelop (both of which provide autocompletion). But how is JavaScript the next lowest?
well. it's not entirely true, if distributed systems were the future, we would never see multi-core systems at all, there are still tasks that are much easier to do if you have them done on a single shared-memory system then distributed. I don't think they're necesarilly less complex, they just don't deal with any sort of "big data". pypy's translation toolchain is one of those problems, but I can see a lot of situations where a large mostly-read-only set is necessary to be accessible all the time.

regarding "Python is still a natural choice" - don't confuse python as a language and python (CPython) as interpreter. You would not use CPython for any performance-critical tasks probably, at least not without spending significant time rewriting pieces to C, but PyPy is quite usable in some scenarios and the list is only to grow.
"To get myself to go, I tell myself that I'm just putting on my [workout] clothes"

That's a great suggestion. Also, if you exercise at home instead of at a gym, you can tell yourself you're just going to do a 10 minute set. Once you're done with that one, your heartbeat will be up and you'll have enough energy to keep up for a few more.

Bribes/rewards are also good motivators. If you promise yourself a minute of reading HN for every minute you work out, you have something to look forward to. (Make sure you don't let yourself take the reward before you do the work, that's a BIG trap.)
Agree with parent and gp. Not only that, the article lacks an Econ 101 understanding of microeconomics. Most markets have a few big firms because of the pervasive effect of economies of scale[1]--generally, bigger firms have lower cost per unit. That's why 1-3 is common in many markets. (For an interesting discussion of why it's socially advantage to have N>=2, see the notion of "deadweight loss" that happens when there is only one firm[2]).

Article is right in one way: software is very different from physical goods. The marginal cost of each additional unit of software is 0. And there's evidence (such as appears frequently on HN) that a bigger firms do not necessarily produce software more efficiently. I've always suspected the software industry is more dominated by network effects[3], which has a similar effect on the market as returns to scale: a small number of firms & high likelihood of natural monopolies.

Yes, it was exactly like that- lots of code had grown around the "bug", and it was not immediately obvious what other software had come to depend upon it. "Little hairs", as Joel might say.
That's good.

But another reason a domain owner won't respond is because they don't think a particular buyer is legitimate enough to offer a price that they will sell for. So they start with a little friction and see what happens. Additionally if you were a big fish buyer, you would also follow a certain pattern if initially rebuffed. All this depends on the domain and the situation of course. If a large company wants your name they could start out any number of ways. But eventually they will throw a decent offer on the table to let you know they are serious. Obviously everything is for sale at the right price.
This discussion seems to ignore purely rhythmic music.
I could use a cheaper sending option and that would really boost the profit. That would introduce an initial delay for the subscription start, but of course after that it would not be noticeable for the subscriber.

One time I was experimenting with sending first package using airmail and subsequent packages simultaneously using the cheaper shipping option that was supposed to be 2 weeks slower. But in reality the slower one arrived first and the faster one a day later, leaving subscribers confused.
Yes it is, it would work fine as a variable. E.g.

var lenght = 23;
console.log(lenght);

will not cause any troubles. And many of the results returned by the search are of this kind.
> The problem with me is my app will have subdomains for each user. For example, `john.myapp.com`.

Sounds pretty straightforward. Wildcard DNS entry, wildcard vhost -- two lines of text that say "point all DNS queries to the IP of my VPS, point all HTTP requests to this document root (your app)", then your app has some code that looks at the hostname in the request to decide which site to show. Subdomains are not 'things' that take up any resources.

> These subdomains are each going to be password-protected areas with healthy amounts of embedded video and I just don't trust the shared hosting I currently have.

If all the videos are embedded offsite, then they really have no impact on your choice of hosting solution. You don't have to handle the bandwidth or storage or even the HTTP requests for the videos. A shared host wouldn't know or care if you put a million videos on each webpage -- it would have no impact on their server. It'll have no impact on yours either.

Considering it's an unmanaged service, I don't see why you'd pay them $30/month when Linode is only $20/month and has a perfect review record among HN hackers.
The code from OpenSSL in question is not bad, actually. Apart of purely stylistic issues, this code is:

* robust, handles all error conditions,

* more or less well structured, I had no problems reading it, although I strongly prefer different coding style,

* is on par with the best examples of C code I have encountered,

* tricks like jumping into if(0) block are common for error handling in C. Once you get used to it, it reads naturally.

So get over it, people. Just because some code doesn't look like what you'd write doesn't mean it's bad. Try to look beyond stylistic issues.
In my view, a utopian society produces a lot of high-quality art, which everyone is free to consume, to study, to modify and to share with a friend.

Laws concerning art should get us as close to that society as possible. We should value both our freedoms and plentiful art, not just the latter as you seem to be arguing.

Copyright and patents are a compromise: since there are no effective business models that generate high-quality liberated content, we will make do with high-quality restricted content instead. It's the poverty mentality: since we can't have both our freedoms and high-quality content, we'll take just the latter.

Increasingly, though, the premise of that compromise is no longer true. Thanks largely to the Internet, more and more businesses are successfully generating high-quality open source software, and more and more artists are distributing high-quality art that they encourage people to be creative with.

Since we don't need that compromise as much any more, one would expect to see IP laws get gradually less and less restrictive. Every year, we should be seeing fair use getting expanded, copyright terms getting shorter and software patents getting weaker. We don't need to abolish copyright and patents all at once, until we find good enough business models that are widely applicable. But we certainly don't need more laws like SOPA.

> "But some things are not changing. Good content does not create itself. Most of the time, the best content is not created by hobbyists working in their spare time, either. We've been trying this experiment for a while now, and everything from Open Source software to self-published books paints a very clear and consistent picture: while there are the occasional gems, most of the work simply isn't very good by professional standards."

I suggest you familiarise yourself much more with open source software. I would argue that the best operating system kernels, the best browsers, the best servers, the best programming languages, the best databases, the best virtualization software and the best media players are all open source. Most of these (such as Linux, Apache, Firefox, Chrome, Hadoop, etc) are not developed solely by "hobbyists", but primarily but by fully-paid developers. The same goes for books: a lot of O'Reilly's books nowadays are licensed freely, and yet they still make a profit. These products are definitely very good by professional standards. Computer engineers were the first to catch on to these business models, but they will spread to other types of art, just as the Internet is spreading across domains. The law should embrace this change, not resist it.

They interrogate and torture people in other countries because that is where they find them. There wouldn't be any point in sending someone back to the states. The conflict is in the middle east. Therefore the people we need information from are usually in the middle east.

When the U.S. government tortures someone in a different country, it is still illegal. U.S. Government employees are bound by U.S. Law no matter where they are. If you are a member of the military you are actually bound by the UCMJ as well as U.S. law. It has nothing to do with the location.

> However anything that requires some complex interprocess communication is essentially unworkable.

I completely disagree. Unless you mean something very special by "complex".

IPC, even complex IPC, is definitely workable. For example, most web browsers today have a split process model. That's as real-world an example as you can have, and it's definitely complex. It works great though.

Furthermore, all that this is, is the model of no shared state/message passing (that the talking entities are in separate processes and not threads is not fundamental here). That's a very clean model of parallelism, much better than shared state. Lots of languages use the no shared state/message passing model, it's definitely not "essentially unworkable."
Not at all. It's irritating and confusing.

Come back to that code in a year and try to extend it, stuff will break because you start to use the correct name.
As a hacker what gets me to the gym is that I realized its all just a numbers game. I weigh x. It will take x amount of days eating x amount of calories. I do x amount of reps time the number of sets per each workout. When I go to the gym I record everything. Every rep and half rep. I wrote a program to learn python and to track my gym progress. Realizing its all just a numbers game really helped me sorta do the math on taking care of myself for the long term.

We already gave them what they asked for in the DMCA, and now they're back for more. There is no compromise that will suit everyone. I'm not saying abandon copyright, but enforcing it to the degree that they want to is simply not possible without terrifying legislation, because what they want is basically the benefits of copyright without most of the associated limitations (such as having any sort of effort required for big corporations to enforce their copyrights, or for smaller parties to have any option but to capitulate when they are accused).

If we do find a compromise, don't expect the copyright cartel to live with it. They will introduce an even more outrageous bill in five years, and then you'll have to compromise again, and this will repeat until you end up with something much worse than SOPA.

I agree, "free market solutions" sounds nice until you notice that capitalism has no soul. It was only a few years ago that airlines bribed the FAA to skip inspections on their planes. Watch the frontline documentary on how airlines treat their pilots, barely giving them enough sleep, paying them terribly low wages, and putting non experienced pilots in senior positions, all to make a profit. Not to mention this: http://www.defraudingamerica.com/faa_corruption.html and lets not forget that every few years a major airline files for bankruptcy.

"Oh but the airlines will want to protect their planes because in the long term it will affect their customers"

We the passengers look into the long term and assume that airlines do too. History has shown that corporate greed plans for nothing beyond the next fiscal quarter. I wouldn't trust them one bit.

I don't like the TSA either but leaving it up to the airlines... We can't go "back" to the way things were, times change, society changes, new threats emerge.

AND at the end of the day we're all just a bunch of speculators sitting in front a computer reading one sided stories off of some guy's blog. We don't have a fraction of enough real data and information to make a call that would affect millions of people.
We can define art as some function of popular perception. Then we can treat individual critics' opinions as noisy sensors and get a pretty good idea of whether something is art that way. Then we can throw some ML at the problem :)
I see these articles more and more lately. They aren't really saying anything new: people don't like putting effort into long term goals. This is just a corollary of the concept of instant gratification.

People go to college and invest years in an education that they grind out day in and day out because they feel (not think! it's not a logical process) there is value in the long term effort. When the same people don't exercise and eat right over a long term period, they are demonstrating that they don't value their health. Sure they might think and say they do, but obviously they aren't taking the appropriate steps. They just don't care.
On your website there are five subscription services listed. Is there any way to browse for more?
It's shared hosting with all the drawbacks that implies, yet without the price benefit of shared hosting anywhere else. If you have $20 per month to spend on hosting you have two choices -- if you want managed, shared hosting, save some money and buy it somewhere cheaper. If you want the full control of a VPS and can manage it, then spend that $20 on a VPS somewhere else and get much more.
One trick that seems to have made it easier for me is changing the question from "Do/Should/Can I go to the gym today?" (which is just an opportunity to come up with excuses) to "How do I go to the gym today?".

It seems to tie into the decision fatigue theory. Instead trying to figure out if I can based on meetings/workload/other things in my schedule, I've already made my decision to go on certain days (in my case, every other day) and I just need to make sure my schedule works.

This article would probably never be used by anyone as reference for signal analysis but it does offer a good overview of western harmonic tonality.

I do want to make one correction:

"Did I say music was based on notes? That's not true. Real music is based on intervals (the ratio of two notes) with high degrees of consonance (shared harmonics)."

Not true. Real world musical tonality is based on a combination of consonance, dissonance and noise. We don't just hear the fundamental frequencies and their harmonic compliments when we listen to a note coming from a musical instrument. The tonal character of any instrument and hence the tonal character of music is complimented and equally defined by other factors that this article is discounting as noise.
Thanks for the email template, I plan on using it as a base for reaching out to bloggers. Is there something that can help with this, besides hiring an expensive PR agency?

I mean finding bloggers, contacting them with personally crafted messages and keeping in touch with them. I'm terrible at following up on emails when I happen to be in the coding zone.

Yes, thank you, exactly. There were tons of articles at the time about YouTube's blatant disregard for the law and their wanton illegal activity, and the obviously weren't troubled by it. They managed to get a huge amount of investment and then had their lawyers make deals and settlements with content owners. This is all a matter of public record and has been well covered in the media. The gentleman claiming to work for Google is certainly aware of the history so his misrepresenting it now certainly looks like a bad faith attempt to whitewash their past behavior. This is not an aberration for Google either, their Google Books scanning was in egregious violation of copyright and they certainly knew it and the so-called Google Books settlement was nothing more than a giant corporation making a play to steal billions of dollars worth of intellectual property they had no right to. Monetizing of IP they don't own is most of Google's business model. Google employees who make their living off Google's activities who are critical of this lady's web service are certainly being hypocritical and outrageous.

edit: Downvote all you want, it doesn't change history or facts, much as you may want it to.
I don't really like going to the gym, but I love running outside. There are a few things that keep me going:

1. I keep in mind that I have never regretted going for a run.

2. A few times a week, I run with friends in a training group. When someone expects to see me there, I am much more likely to go.

3. I keep a training log. I mark completed days with a green dot (even rest days), and missed workouts with a red dot.

4. I read about running. It's inspiring to hear others' stories.

5. I sign up for races. If a race is coming up, I know I can't brush off workouts.

I started running again a couple years ago after about 8 years of not working out. It was difficult and painful for a couple months, but it got easier and more fun. I do have to sacrifice some family time, but I want my son to see me having a fit lifestyle. Sometimes, I'll bring him along in a stoller.

Perhaps it would be more productive to advocate the use of local pre-commit hooks. Git makes it very easy to configure validation locally long before anything gets sent to Github.

Would be nice if Github provided better documentation and a selection of validation templates to include in new projects. This would better leverage the power of Git and its distributed nature than a bot running on Github.
