whenever something was pushed out of the cloud

Of course, if someone offered a service where the ultimate storage backup lost data, it would be idiotic. However, this as certainly not my suggestion. Rather, you selectively applied the functionality of hardware caches to the "Fat Cache" idea, while fabricating ridiculous semantics that go against your own hardware analogy. (Where the cloud would be the hard drive.)

So in hindsight, we have to give credit to MS for sticking with it for so long

Perhaps we should wait to see whether it ever pays back that 8 billion dollars before giving them any credit?
I'm surprised to see such a large chunk of Microsoft's revenue coming from "online services". Does anyone know what this is - surely it can't be from Bing?

Also I've noticed that there's no segment in Apple's chart for App Store commissions, nor from iTunes. Is this classified under "other music", or are those divisions so small they don't fit in the chart?

A link might enlighten me.

I don't think so. You seem pretty attached to the idea of the behavior of CPU caches, while steadfastly refusing to extend your own metaphor to persistent storage. Odd.

Works for Intel / EFI as well.

Setting a boot password will lock out boot media / FireWire DMA.

You can set it from your install media's Utilities menu (or while booted into Lion Recovery Partition).

Fun fact: All of the Open Firmware / PPC Macs and most of the Intel Macs (with the exception of most every 2010+ model) could reset or blank the password by changing the RAM configuration.

The newest Intel Macs, however, won't do this. You have to take the Mac to a service center where they generate a special binary (using an internal tool) that's specific to the machine(s) they need to unlock and place it on USB media, during boot, to trigger an unlock override.

In short: Got a new new Mac? Don't set a password and forget it, write it down!
I heartily agree with you. I bought my first real computer with a student loan in 1993, outgrew it, and the next year I started a company to secure a loan for a $5700 computer. This was way more than I could afford, and in fact I often couldn't make the payment so I damaged my credit record and it seemed to my responsible friends that I was a financially incomptent retard.

But, three years later, I shipped my first real product, having done all the learning and coding on that very same machine, and made enough money to recover all that several times over. The knowledge I gained during those years led to a programming career that continues to the present.

Early in life, I think it makes sense to not pay down debt, or take on even more debt, in order to buy something is going to be a force-multiplier for you.

Obviously, without additional effort, there is not much you can do with $3000 that is likely to have a higher return than paying off the card.

But, depending on your own interests and motivation, there are a lot of things that--when combined with your own efforts--will allow you to upgrade your own value. So figure out what those things are, and whether any of them can be had for $3000.
Just a short note - vertical gutter should be either adjustable as well or simply the same as horizontal.

FireWire and Thunderbolt DMA is disabled if you set an firmware password. On systems which support Intel's VT-d technology, the OS will actually allow restricted DMA even with the firmware password set so you get almost all the benefits of DMA without the security compromise of having all memory exposed to the foreign device.
Homebrew is great, but it's quite annoying that one day Apple decides to drop straight gcc from Xcode, making many Formulae uncompilable. Yes, you can install an older Xcode first, or use a 3rd party gcc build. But in Linux distributions such as Debian, they'd just keep 'deprecated' things around for some time
Same here.. then it got out of control and now it's my career.
Ask HN: Ruby on Rails performance optimisation blogs or books?
Are there any Ruby on Rails performance optimisation blogs or books?

I couldn't find any good resources, but there must be some experienced RoR/Rubyist people here can answer my question and share where they learnt all these optimisation tips.

What I am looking for is blog or good books:
1. Production server optimisation, good production server setup and configuration
2. Best practice profiling/benchmarking tips

I actually think that mentioning opposition to SOPA was a good thing for our industry.

People should be reminded who the Silicon Valley companies are and their worth, otherwise you're losing the context: if people had to choose, what would be worse for the U.S. - losing Hollywood, or losing Silicon Valley?

MPAA keeps mentioning how many jobs and money are lost because of piracy. I'm not seeing enough of the opposite perspective: how many jobs and how much money is generated by companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple (yes, it's a little weird mentioning Apple considering that they haven't expressed opposition, but remember that the music and movies industries actually hate iTunes because it has been disruptive to their business and not in a good way).
No, it's not included anymore, though you might still have it as a result of upgrading from an older version of Xcode.

My personal experience with C++ on Windows (CE in 2002) was not very encouraging WRT portability. You may get more commonality between destop Windows and WP7 than between WP7 and Android but the code may end up with a lot of ifdefs and windows-isms in it. It's been a while, so YMMV.

It could, in fact, be easier to mechanically translate between Java and C# than going C++.

Small nitpick: If you say you generate HTML5 markup, I think you should make use of the new HTML5 tags like <header>, <footer> etc in the rendered file. Right now it looks like you are just changing the doctype?

See how HTML5BoilerPlate uses the header & footer tags: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/index....

It would also be nice it you can directly output a version of html that contains all the features from HTML5BoilerPlate.

It's not scrubbed from memory on short term sleep so the OS can provide a more user friendly experience – rather than dropping you at the EFI login window when you wake from sleep, you'll be presented with the more capable and better looking OS sleep unlock window.

If the machine is asleep for "a while" then it will write out a sleep image file and power off RAM (and other hardware) to go into a deep sleep. Since the sleep image file is written to the FDE volume, you must first unlock the volume at EFI's login window to gain access to the sleep image and resume from sleep. That process takes far longer than waking from a warm OS, so it's not done by default. You can change sleep settings using pmset on the command line and force it to always destroy the FV keys on sleep, if security is more important that a quick wake from sleep.
That all makes "search" an inexact answer, not an incorrect one; akin to answering "their stores" for "how does Best Buy make money?" as opposed to "selling products"; your "normal" person will just look at you cross-eyed for that correction and complain about "semantics". (That said, I agree with you that not analyzing it far enough to at least get to the also-vague-sounding "advertising" is probably not actable.)
No Reuters and AP are in the business of providing cheap content to fill up gaps in publications.

SEO Linkbuilding
Link Building is an important factor in SEO . By link building understood the links and references your site receives from other websites in search engines' eyes, this is a stamp approved by your content, which shows you disseminate relevant and good content. Search engines like Google is built around good relevant content, by finding this, users will be recurring and ensuring search engine popularity.The first and most crucial step when you start working with link building is that you can determine an approximate value of the potential links. There are several factors that can help you determine the value of links. You need to focus on relevance, the page's PageRank as well as the amount of outgoing links from that page.

The US is scared of immigrants from outside of the US. Europe is scared of immigrants from outside of Europe. Europe is not scared of immigrants from inside Europe.
"You have no right to enter a country where you are not a citizen, regardless of what treaties and protocols your two nations have set up."

According to the EU:

"The first right of a European citizen is the right to travel, work and live anywhere in the Union."

http://europa.eu/abc/12lessons/lesson_9/index_en.htm

I guess that's because the member states of the EU have given up complete sovereignty through things like the Treaty of Maastricht.
I'm wondering when that's going to happen because it seems that the US has always treated people this way since nigh on the beginning of its time.

It's one of the few countries in existence with a century-long isolationist movement, and in decade after decade has had anti-immigration sentiment run high for one immigrant group after another.

The ceremony is performed in his majesty's great chamber of state, where the candidates are to undergo a trial of dexterity, very different from the former, and such as 1 have not observed the least resemblance of in any other country of the new or old world. The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed. Sometimes the emperor holds one end of the stick, and his first minister the other; sometimes the minister has it entirely to himself. Whoever performs his part with most agility, and holds out the longest in leaping and" creeping, is rewarded with the blue-coloured silk; the red is given to the next, and the green to the third, which they all wear girt twice round about the middle; and you see few great persons about this court who arc not adorned with one of these girdles.

Creating such a guide would be difficult since the Linux ecosystem is so large.

Here is a good blog post by one of the developers of Mono.

http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2011/Sep-06.html

You might be better off running Linux in a VM so that you don't have to ditch Windows completely. The command line is a better way to learn Linux as opposed to the GUI. How much have you really learned about Windows via the GUI?

First focus on getting the basics down. Even the basics can get not so basic once you get deeper into the command line tools.

Bookmark some good cheatsheets for commands and then make a point to pick up something new in a few areas every day. For example, you can pick up Vim in a couple of weeks but mastery is a lifetime journey. The way to get better with Vim is to spend time every day learning something different and incorporating that into your workflow. Otherwise you will never get far from being a beginner. Many Linux tools are like that.

Don't worry about getting crazy with building your environment with Arch or Gentoo until you have become strong with the basics. Also wait until you have a lot of time on your hands. It's not an easy journey. Better to start with something that you can be productive with right away.

Yes, GC can be faster in some scenarios. I'll never get into a dispute about what's faster... legitimate arguments can be made both ways.

My point about profiling the exact user experience still stands. I can exactly instrument the hotspots in my code and fix them as needed – I can disable ARC, I can avoid autorelease pools. (Or I can add my own autorelease pools or manual retains, preventing large objects from being freed until I'm outside of a hotspot.) Importantly, I know what's being profiled is exactly what will be run by my users. I can't say the same about GC code, since the collector must be free to reap whenever and however it decides. Heck, depending on the runtime, I can't even be certain which GC algorithm will be used by my customers.

I appreciate the control refcounting gives me, and I love that ARC makes writing refcounted code almost as painless as writing GC code without the loss of control. I like being able to test and profile exactly what my users will run.
It makes sense to me. You want to be able to stop the unfair practices before all the competition dies out.

You're forgetting that non of this is accidental. It is the media that has deliberately redefined the word "hacker" to equal criminal.

They know what it means, and there is no clearer example than this article. Zuckerberg explains what it means in no unclear terms, and still the author chooses to bury it under unfounded accusations.

We use another word, they will just do the same thing. We can promote all we like, and they will ignore it.

Anyway, who cares. We will still be here long after "the media" is gone and these hacks are either unemployed or doing PR for some corporation or politician. This type of "journalism" is dying anyway.
Yes, I switched the pmset settings after reading the article I linked to that discussed his settings and making the comment.

Benchmarking it shows that with all programs quit and hibernatemode at 25, it takes around 2 seconds to enter RAM-off-sleep and 8 seconds to awaken from it, rather than both happening instantly with RAM-on-sleep. It's not really all that slow, I wouldn't say it's all that noticeably longer. It's kind of an impressively fast memory dump and restore.

My tip would be to get VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation, and run your choice of Linux on it in fullscreen. There are two things that are annoying when learning Linux:

1) dealing with hardware issues

2) dealing with updates that break stuff

Virtualization solves both of those, at the cost of a little performance. The nice thing about VM's is that the virtual hardware is always the same and generally well tested (no hardware issues). And if you break stuff, you can roll back changes (VM snapshots). Both VirtualBox and VMWare have full screen modes and support for dual monitors out of the box.

Also, make sure you get a server as well and learn to administer it it from the command line. It's a great way to keep learning more.
If there's anyone out there comfortable in both the way of vi and the way of Emacs, does this feel better than the Emacs emulation [1]? I'd love to be able to work with text more efficiently in Visual Studio, but the Emacs emulation feels only half way there.
