That's nice, but the question is whether the realized benefits exceeded the incurred costs.

Kismet on Android using USB host
Naturally there are always applications that can use more raw power, but the article focuses on those segments and I think that's misguided. The real growth powered by Moore's Law in the immediate future will be processors that are lower power and cheaper, not faster. The success of the iPad has proven that faster processors are not what the public is clamoring for right now. Mainstream tasks really hit diminishing returns after two cores. Not that processors won't get faster, just that the transistor budget won't get used to that end exclusively.

Look no one is ever convicted of anything when the police initially take the evidence away. That's how the system works, that's the way it's worked for decades, there's nothing different here.
Keep in mind it's a lot easier to trace a picture with tracing paper than it is to draw it in the first place. (Although this is really cool- one of my favorite games.)

Well, governments can compel to collect DNA sampling from you now. Why not go further and compel to read your implanted chip? They can collect your recorded GPS location as evidence.

Wat (or, a few WTF gems from Ruby and JavaScript)
Yeah, the author is basically telling you to use what is now considered a bad practice (onclick) instead of a worse practice such as... href="javascript: dostuff()"
> By using the terminology "break the law", you seem to be intentionally disregarding the fact they have not been convicted of anything, and the assertions they even did anything illegal are questionable at best given they complied with DCMA takedown notices.

Substitute "be accused of breaking the law" for "break the law".

Yes, the police and prosecutors have that kind of discretion.

And no, grand juries are not a significant impediment. As the saying goes, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.

For chain of custody etc. you always need to make a master copy and sign/hash it and then work off of a copy. If you tried to do forensics on the actual computer as seized you'd be busy destroying disk & memory evidence as you worked.
"buried in some unofficial comment"

Maybe we'll have to agree to disagree, but I wouldn't characterize a public post by the Product VP for Google+ as an unofficial comment that's buried.

I'm sorry that the handling has come across as tone-deaf. From my perspective the leadership had a strong vision for the product and had some strongly held assumptions and opinions about how best to achieve that vision.

I see today's announced change as evidence that the leadership is listening to the feedback and looking at data and then re-checking some of their basic assumptions and adjusting.

There is - of course - plenty of room to disagree. I'm not trying to get in an argument here, or to re-hash the arguments that have been going on within the company. I'm just an engineer that cares about the product and I'm trying to provide information and answer some questions
Does anyone have a link to some examples of non-trivial Rust programs? It looks like a pretty neat language (despite making a few more distinctions than I tend to care about), but I'd like to see how it reads in practice.
Lean Startup for Dummies (by a dummy)
you should add a linux utility so i can pipe stuff to it... like

and maybe an option to put the url in std err and pass thru the input
Except that it is handled by the kernel, rather than by the program itself.
Complicated enough to support companies with market cap of $3 Bn ($CDNS) and 1.5 Bn ($MENT) and these are just two leaders.
That is fine for working on it (and having taken computer forensics classes at college something I am intimately familiar with), however it no longer needs to be done on location. The device can safely be removed without requiring a tech to go out to the location.
From the announcement: "To reiterate, the features described herein will be rolling out over the next couple days."

Maybe give a few days?
I haven't had much difficulty avoiding such cases. It can come up if you have a simple fixed function that returns its value, but later decide to make it customizable through the database. When that happens, it's not very hard to make the callers use a callback.
It is never okay for my privacy to be compromised. I don't care if they have a piece of paper that says that I'm not supposed to care.

A site shutting down seems like a very, very stable ending. Anyway his post didn't seem to me like a rant at all. In fact it read as a very mature and well-thought out article. Odd, that you would be offended. Maybe you have some skin in the game?
Some changes are breaking changes. If a call requires new parameters and there are no sensible defaults then clients have to change to supply those parameters.

I am sure this will be misunderstood but anyway... The initial Java world made IO exceptions checked exceptions, this implied that the addition of IO was a breaking change in that model also.
Wow! I love this article. It really proves that unused brain is the home of the devil, i.e. Alzheimer. It is really important that we should really use our brain always. Use it wisely, in a way that we can help other people, just like our great scientists who used their brain intensively and now we are reaping all the fruits of their effort.

BRO PANIC; THE DIMENSIONAL SHIFT is now 11:11 - YouTube
I've been waking up at 5am for the past three years. I found that, by 9am when my colleagues started arriving at work, I had already managed to finish a large chunk of the work I had planned for that day.
I tend to do the actual work during these hours and reply to emails later on in the day. This helps me stay focused and I found it to be quite productive.
I don't drink coffee though, I have never felt the need for it.

> No, I think they made money from a LOT of users signing up for paid accounts.

Except that the indictment states that MU had only a few paid users and was largely ad supported... And I could have sworn that before all this happened, MU said the same thing.

> Legislation such as DMCA was supposed to protect business from copyright violation liability when the infringement was committed by third parties as long as they followed the takedown process.

DMCA didn't protect MU because they refused to delete the actual files (they only deleted some of the links pointing to that same file), and actively ignored DMCA takedown notices that did not come from major US parties.
I'm very confused how everyone thinks this looks good?

I can only speak for myself but I find the font hard to read. The background color is very distracting (and frankly ugly). When using code highlighting the foreground colors clash horribly imho.

The icons are small and on a large monitor hard to see. This is made worse by similarity between the icon color and background.

When I see this all I can think about is John Nunemaker's statment: "But we are hackers and hackers have black terminals with green font colors!"

On the bright side I like the name, and the command line tool is neat.
Visible variables are not changed by other threads during serial execution in either node or Erlang.

But races in node can arise in terms of values changing unpredictably while before a callback is executed in node.

In Erlang values can change when a process responds to another message, before processing a particular message. This seems like a race too.

In either case the races are better contained in either node or Erlang than they are in more liberal models like the java or .net ones.

Not to denigrate Colin's work, nor Tarsnap at all, as I love these CLI based tools, but is there anything better about Tarsnap than just using Duplicity as I do now?

All I have to do is a ' duplicity $DIR s3+http://bucket ' and I will get a gpg encrypted full/diff of my data, which looks to be a bit cheaper and GPG encrypted stored on S3. Plus if I really want to save some cash I could mark every object as Reduced Redundancy to save even more money.

Monads and Curry - We're hiring Haskell hackers (YC S11)
We’re a small team of passionate developers, designers, and product folks who are rethinking the way people buy and sell things locally. We're well-funded (YC S11), our users love what we're building, and we do too.

We're looking for a hardcore generalist with Haskell chops. Ideally you...

- love haskell, rails, and/or iOS

- can productively hack on undocumented libraries in a day

- understand what it means to work in an intense startup environment

- learn quickly -- we highly value raw intelligence

- live in or around San Francisco (or are willing to relocate)

This position is our second technical hire and includes a significant equity stake, along with plenty of room to influence the strategic direction of the company. The best fit will probably be someone currently considering their own startup.

I guess the Rust compiler is the most non-trivial Rust program at the moment. You can start there. I've been reading the lexer and parser code (cause I've got to write those for a class) and it's very easy to follow.
It is so obvious that sites like megaupload and rapid share make NO effort to prevent infringement -- a simple cross check against music artists/television shows would prevent many infringement cases.

They really shouldn't have to. Why should that burden fall entirely on the storage service provider, and how do they deal with legitimate uploads from those music artists/television shows (e.g. record labels have been rumored to "leak" albums on purpose for promotion)?
Show HN: Voice Statuses for Facebook- Call in; all friends can listen instantly
Companies such as Google and Microsoft will narrowly focus on algorithms and data structures, so if you take three or four classes in these areas, actually learn the material, and can code very, very well, you'll have no problem with a math degree. Just do an internship.

If you don't finish your degree someone will eventually hold it over your head and ruin your day (go work somewhere else if you want a raise, wait... you can't!) When you get those 'why do I need a degree' feelings remember that it is not to get a job, it is to get a better job. For lack of better expression, certain people in industry will try to make you their bitch. You need the ability to walk away.

As far as learning, you are not paying to learn things, you are paying to be tested on things for which you receive a stamp of approval.
I'm not convinced. Are you sure about that not dying part?

Scott Schiller's "Survivor" HTML prototype video
Only five or six years ago a good chip had two cores and a clock rate of perhaps 2.4 gigahertz. Somehow the chips have been redesigned or improved to allow much lower heat loss at clock rates previously considered unreachable without special hardware. (A somewhat recent Intel chip is able to reach 4.4 gigahertz on four cores with air cooling, and AMD has eight-core server chips that produce less heat than older two-core chips.) I do not know how it was done, but apparently the engineers have found ways to improve their designs. Now the chips seem to be more powerful per clock cycle while producing less heat and reaching higher clock rates.
