1 - Yes, Microsoft will force vendor... if vendor wants to ship their device with Microsoft OS. That's how they structure their deal with vendor. I seriously fail to see the problem here: Windows 8 ARM doesn't even exist as a commercial product and all vendors are happily shipping Android devices left and right. So, come Windows 8 ARM tomorrow - what, Android will suddenly cease to exist? Does Microsoft provision prohibit vendor from shipping same/similar hardware without logo with other OS installed? This happens right now with phones: same hardware goes for both Android and Windows Phone, no questions asked.

In my opinion, this whole "logo requirements" thing is blown out of a proportion: there's no commercial product with Windows 8 ARM, almost all Android devices are locked down, yet Microsoft gets all the heat.

2 - Presence of a keyboard doesn't make toy device a lesser toy with same toy rules applied. Besides, my $20 says that the moment we see MacBook Air on ARM or Windows 8 ARM netbook, we'll see Google revitalizing their Chromebook story or shoveling Android onto netbook devices (ASUS Transformer anyone?) and vendors happily supporting them.
It is already done and it was done by Apple and other vendors who lock down another, supposedly open, platform. Microsoft doesn't even have anything shipped yet.

Sweet post, I haven't seen it before. Definitely agree with it's sentiments.

I guess something that needs to be addressed is, how can developers value their work more? We see the why, not always the how.
If you're still interested in game archaeology, I would highly recommend you visit The Cutting Room Floor ( http://tcrf.net/ ), a wiki dedicated to uncovering unused/development-related content in early video games. Sometimes authors even put long, rambling messages against their coworkers into games (see the page on Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken).
I have to interject here, because the theoretical example in this thread is what would happen if somebody had plans to compete with Basecamp in Basecamp, as some sort of hypothetical case.

I actually have a bug open in FogBugz called "Build a better FogBugz" where we discuss in some length its shortcomings for our workflow and how to fix them. It's not exactly an active project, but it will probably be when I get sufficiently fed up, and I would have no problem organizing its development in FogBugz.

The point is, if you can't trust the people who are writing your tools, why are you using their tools in the first place?
Well, we will.

Just not only MPI (at least not without significant extensions).

These services miss the point - spend a little more and buy a name off someone.
Wow, those were quick changes, I'm already using it again.

Another thing that crossed my mind you might want to think about. When I go to alot of sites, I wonder if they're one of the offenders that steal people's searches (by tracking which generated domain they click on how many times), and then go register the domain behind the persons back after a few hours if they don't do it right away... only to make it available for sale at a profit.

Maybe a clear definition of "How we make money" is a good idea. Maybe it's just me, but I think that might not be the case.
The site works pretty well. I like the number of options available. It may not be a cause for a company but it is a useful website. nice work.
My Mum had bought me a book called the Usborne Guide to BASIC Programming, as my Dad has just bought an Osborne 1 computer for his new consulting business. So on our way across the Atlantic on a Polish vessel from Montreal to Dover, I was enthusiastically learning about programming while the machine sat, frustratingly, in the cargo hold, inaccessible to my eager mitts.

I still have the Osborne 1. I last powered her up in 2005, when Adam Osborne passed away.
To an extent anonymity is the internet, for better or worse. Considering the economic growth associated it would seem for the better. Unfortunately bureaucracy seeps into the cracks of any complex system and ultimately changes the dynamic until a new system must be created. I feel like the only control we have is the pace; not the eventual steady state. The internet is interesting because it's the only unregulated communication medium, and the largest at that. Once security or code is written, who comes to remove it? How can any group stay abreast of all issues?

It would seem a constitutional amendment would be the best option.
"Deprecated in production" may be taking it too far, but there's an attitude there that Python is a third-class citizen and the Real Language Of Google is C++, with Java a solid second in the context of acquisitions.

To be reasonable about it, I understand this impulse. Python is a pretty poor language to design large-scale systems in. I don't like C++, but one thing I've learned in using Scala and Ocaml is that static typing is a major asset, and that dynamically-typed programs can rot very quickly (even if written in the functional style).
I love how on HN it's not okay to complain, but it is okay to complain about complaining.
Did you actually mean to say that traveling the world on an airplane with a backpack is not minimalist, but driving around the country in a classic VW Bug - a fossil-fueled vehicle which is considerably less efficient per passenger-mile than a passenger jet - is minimalist? That driving around on a publicly-funded, continuously-maintained network of asphalt doesn't constitute "pushing consumption off onto others"?

One eventually realizes that minimalism of any kind is a trick of the mind. Nothing is really simple, even things that aren't alive, and nothing really exists in isolation. A thing can be minimal only relative to something else, and only along a limited axis, and only so long as you don't think too deeply.

(Did I just say that Trio's classic "Da Da Da" has only one note? Oops, I lied, I didn't look deeply enough: The chorus has a background singer, and though she - it sounds like a she - is designed to be a minimalist background singer she does sing multiple notes, adding vital depth and texture and helping to make the chorus sound so awesome: It's a joke of a chorus, but it's so much more musically rich than the verse that it sounds like heaven when it arrives.)
Watch Underworld Awakening Online Free
Watch Underworld Awakening Online screenplay is by J. Michael Straczynski which is established on the characters by Kevin Grevioux, Danny McBride, and Len Wiseman. Film making is by Scott Kevan under Lakeshore Entertainment studio. This film is distributed by Screen Gems which is due to be launch in cinemas on the 20th of January, 2012.
well, with these projects that are vastly overfunded, like the case example, it seems like most of the money could have been safely put in some sort of escrow so that the founders wouldn't get lazy.

And if there's a proper description of the milestones, it seems like gaming might not be so easy.

For example, if there were a "test the metal case for signal loss" milestone, and if the founders only gave a half-hearted attempt, then a bunch of people could have had the option to pull out at that point.

Basically the founders need to create a proper plan, with reasonable milestones, and then the funders might be more willing to give more money. I think after a while, people would be able to flag a gamed milestone.
In practice, the non-determinism is important for efficiency. Consider computing a norm or dot product in parallel. You sum the owned part of the distributed vector, then use MPI_Allreduce() to get the result of the global sum (the parallel implementation uses some tree structure, usually semi-redundantly, perhaps using dedicated hardware). If you run with a different number of processes, then the reduction will necessarily be done with different associativity. Of course any such result is as good as the others (unless the vector is somehow sorted in which case some orders will commit larger rounding error).

The MPI standard does not require that reductions use deterministic associativity for the same number of processes (independent of the physical network topology), but they do suggest that it is desirable and (AFAIK) most implementations are deterministic on the same number of processes.
Google still and probably will always appeal to me as a team I'd join to solve hard problems. Even if they invent some of those problems themselves. I'm all for seeing your family but I think you can strike a balance. Google can put in a single room several great thinkers and engineers where 100 years from now people will look back and marvel.
Why is the trashing of other developer's work necessary in promoting your own?

When people like 37signals promote it as a tactic, people start to copy: http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch02_Have_an_Enemy.php

Of relevance:

One bonus you get from having an enemy is a very clear marketing message. People are stoked by conflict. And they also understand a product by comparing it to others. With a chosen enemy, you're feeding people a story they want to hear. Not only will they understand your product better and faster, they'll take sides. And that's a sure-fire way to get attention and ignite passion.

You might be surprised -- a minimalist mindset can extend toward computer habits as well. Also, just as he relies on society to provide him with essentials like food, so too could he rely on cloud providers like Google Docs to take care of his document storage -- though of course he would still own his Google account.

It's no stretch to compare Mimimalism to a thin-client computing design -- it is made possible by the existence of an excellent network of other person-nodes, and it reduces the emotional and physical "computational" overhead of owning things.

Also, in response to come other comments in this thread: to argue that he is parasitic requires the moral stance that using things you do not own is parasitic, regardless of the other contributions you make to society (including paying for the temporary use of those things!). Which is bollocks.

FYI for any Ghostery plugin users on Firefox/Chrome: HelloBar is blocked by Ghostery out-of-the-box. You'll need to temporarily turn off the plugin to view the effect in the linked article (or look at the screenshots), and any of your users using Ghostery will not see the bar on your site if/when you deploy.

Then again, I'd imagine people using Ghostery are all fully aware of the dangers of PIPA/SOPA in the first place, so perhaps it's a moot point.

I fall into the "crazily insecure" category in your world, but I don't feel particularly insecure.

I've also never seen an adult (well, over 20 yo or so) compare SAT scores, with the possible exception of statistically at DE Shaw. Actually, I think getting >x when you did the SAT 7th or 8th grade (to get into JHU's SET or CTY programs, which IMO are awesome), is more likely to come up in conversations than the normal junior or senior year score (which I didn't take, as I was already at MIT).

GPA in college, which college you attended (and what degree you got), grad school, etc. are the most common, followed by IQ. Although actual professional achievements within a specific domain are far more commonly compared.

The nice thing about being an adult is that most people care about tests which aren't timed, can be retaken many times, and where you get to choose your own test from a wide selection. Some people are more impressed by annual income, some by how cool a tech company you can build, some by being a GM at USPSA matches, some by having filled up a bunch of passports. It's up to you what you care about.
I'm still looking for the BSD version of Linode. Instant, automatic provisioning and pro-rated billing.

Every BSD VPS provider I've tried so far has been lacking in interface, auto-provisioning, or have shady cancellation terms.
Ah, that's perfect! It shouldn't be called a minimalist lifestyle; it should be called a mobile lifestyle.
The main point of the writer is that one can no longer hide ones identity when registering domain names.

I actually think this is a GOOD idea. Here's why. Assuming currently you can register a domain name with false credentials, the government can still track you down, because you are leaving some sort of trail - you log into the server, you pay the registration fees etc. However I can't figure out who you are? If you are a business, I can't track you down, if you want to hide.

If you had to present your true identity and I could look it up using a "whois" then I can say "Ah hah! Company X is actually run by person M who cheated me a few months ago, so I'm not going to deal with them"

Interesting you mention JQuery vs rolling your own from JS primitives. Not sure if you mean execution time or loading time? Any idea why G+ performs so badly on the iphone compared with other sites that are using a JQuery or similar?
You need to FOCUS. Pick one thing and give it your all. Don't dabble. I repeat, pick one thing. If your not dreaming about it, that's not the right thing.
I hate that I feel this is an 11th hour response. I guess I just don't understand how a 99% community sponsored website with little direct advertising income or large sponsors would drag their feet on the issue.

I do understand the 'late to the party, hard to miss' factor, but the opposite could have spurred more action from other sites.

Hoping for a quicker response 'next time', but still damn good on you!

500 Things You Need To Know To Succeed In Your IT Career
The experience of people I know at Google seems to vary incredibly based on direct supervisor (like any company) and the specific project you're doing. There are people I know who have gotten stuck on high-revenue but to-them uninteresting teams, couldn't easily shift to other parts of google, so they left.

If you could get the right team (and had a cool direct supervisor, or had enough status to force this), it seems like a pretty awesome place to work. If you want to have a huge impact, working for a company like Google or Facebook, in the right capacity, pretty much guarantees it. Not having to worry if checks will clear, if kitchens will be stocked, etc. is a nice benefit on top of that.

(If I could get the job of "make Android the most secure mobile OS, using some of the stuff from ChromeOS, and utterly crush all other mobile platforms in the Enterprise, I'd be really tempted; or the same thing for an EC2-killer from Google, also built around security.)

I've been happy with transfers I made from GD to name.com (namecheap wasn't bad, but name.com is more flexible with the way I like to set up multiple accounts).

I wonder whether they'd be willing to work on an affiliate deal with you. And others here could probably suggest more registrars that would be worth including.

Seeing GD in your list (at least it's not at the top) was disheartening. They seem very evil indeed, and not just in recent action.

I guess i don't use FreeBSD much, but my primary use of the OS is for pfsense which runs both my home router and also the routers I use for VMs running on dedicated VMWare servers.

I do know that FreeBSD's handling of network activity appears to be second to none, but given Amazon's load balancing system, I'm curious what people are actively using FreeBSD for outside this space? Particularly in regards to EC2.
"It's a place where really smart people go to be average,"

That really might be OK and might work if you are unmarried, without kids and living alone.

As you grow up to take more responsibilities. It definitely makes more career and financial sense to..

Be best among the average than to be average among the best.
"Assuming currently you can register a domain name with false credentials, the government can still track you down, because you are leaving some sort of trail - you log into the server, you pay the registration fees etc."

False. During registration, I could use a public computer, or one of those services which hides my IP address. For payment, I can use a disposable credit card. Anonymity is a de facto requirement for free speech.

"Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority ... It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation -- and their ideas from suppression -- at the hand of an intolerant society."

TL;DR - Adam is saying that the new top-level domains will require that you prove your identity when you register with them.

First of all, I don't see any evidence of that. None of the links that he provides include any such claim.

Second, he is claiming this only applies to the new global top level domains. So, who cares? Nobody's going to use those anyway. They're going the way of .biz and .info -- a permanently boring ghetto.

Adam also says "The entire reason for even trying to get a DNS provision into law is because it is nearly impossible to track down the owner of a website, or domain name, through today's registration tools."

That's not, actually, the reason. The reason to get the DNS provision into law is to shut down websites operated from outside the United States where the US does not have jurisdiction.

It is relatively easy for law enforcement to track down the owner of a domain. It resolves to an IP address. The IP address is routed by hardware. The hardware is located in physical space. As long as it's all in the United States, it's just not that hard to find the operator of a website based on the domain name, and that is not what the entertainment lobby is concerned about. They are concerned with what happens when the operator is outside the US and they don't have jurisdiction, so they want laws passed to ensure that US-based ISPs are obliged to block access to foreign infringers.

Adam's analysis in this case is flat-out wrong.
Why? It's not as if you risk job stability working at Google. And at least while I was there, I didn't get the impression that devs were overworked (slightly different story for PMs).

Web based config utility & sync for Synergy (Kickstarter Project)
Skype for Windows Phone : Coming Soon
The 'Linux folks' have been working on this for quite awhile, if it weren't for licensing incompatibilities with ZFS, they'd likely already have it.

If you'll pardon my saying so, that's because it's not 'the Linux folks' that have been working on it - it's other non-'Linux folk' companies (cough RIP, Sun cough) that took it upon themselves to make a better filesystem for their (coincidentally, and nothing to do with Linux) open source operating systems. The closest the 'Linux folks' got was ReiserFS under Hans Reieser, who's work was largely rejected by the mainstream 'Linux folks' working on the kernel... until the months just before his arrest and conviction for the murder of his wife.

ZFS has as much to do with Linux as NTFS has to do with Linux - developed wholly outside of the Linux community by people not in the Linux community nor associated with the Linux community, with implementations available for Linux that are not redistributable with the kernel for patent- or licensing-related reasons.

But, yes, BtrFS (developed by Oracle) is indeed a 'Linux folk' attempt at creating a modern filesystem. And BtrFS does indeed predate ReFS.
Not my project but I think this would be an awesome utility as I hate configuring Synergy. Was very surprised to see no backers on KS.
Espadrilles Shoes Combine Comfort With Style
Choosing either a comfortable or a stylish pair of shoes is Espadrilles shoes. These shoes are a must have for your collection and not without a reason. These shoes are so comfortable to wear that once you put them on, you don't want to take them off. The reason is the material used in these shoes. The upper part is generally made of either fabrics of cotton or canvas. This gives you an edge when you're walking fast as it is very soft on the upper part of the foot.
San Francisco PIPA / SOPA Protest this Wednesday
I agree that it's a strange set of choices. Eliminating quotas and compression might be OK for something positioned as a basic filesystem, but for something billed as a "next generation" filesystem it seems odd. Eliminating extended attributes is an even bigger step backward, because they're such a useful building block for other OS features (e.g. look at their use to in Linux to support ACLs and security labels).

Failing to support sparse files, though . . . man, that's just insane. That would relegate ReFS to the status of a toy in most filesystem developers' minds, even before you consider their increasing usefulness when storing virtual-machine disk images in a shared filesystem to support migration, etc. It's hard to imagine that none of the many people who must be involved in this at MS raised the red flag. What seems more likely, from what I know of MS culture, is that some people did raise it but then some idiot dictator with a reputation built on some long-irrelevant project ignored or dismissed their objections.
