It is all about inclusivity, people! And puppies -- people love puppies! ;D
Omaha is a service which we ask questions like: "I've got version $x of $foo, what should I do?". We use it for extensions as well as the main browser update.

The CRLSet is packaged as an extension (it's actually a .crx), but with a custom install callback that delta updates the current version.

Is a massive rippling mutable OO graph the universal way to do game state? It presumably makes concurrency an impossible deadlock-fest.

Are there any examples of using something like relational tables for game state?
We'll end up paying about that for the 710s, but you have look at what we're getting for the same price. Fusion IO card dies: we're dead in the water. It takes 2-3 of the Intel 710s (in a RAID 10 like they'll be) dying to do the same. Given that the IO of our storage isn't close to being a factor, we'll always stick with the much more robust route for the same price.

During the flash crash, HFTs did not pull out due to market risk. They pulled out due to regulatory risk. See my explanation here.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2875927

If HFT's save retail investors and institutions billions of dollars most of the time, but fail to do so for a single 1-hour period when they run the risk of regulators screwing them over, what's the problem?
If you want to engage people, make it as easy as possible for them to participate/contribute.

Any blog platform can use Disqus, so that opens up the participation. Tumblr has the share/reblog controls for Tumblr members, so they can share your posts easier. Any blog platform can have Facebook/Twitter/Google share controls.

The next problem is your identity. If you host your own blog solution you can have it on a url like yoursite.com/blog or blog.yoursite.com

Tumblr also supports custom subdomains, so you could use blog.yoursite.com

The next problem is uptime -- Tumblr frequently has issues with uptime in my experience. On the other hand, if you're having uptime issues with your own site, it might be better for the blog to be hosted somewhere else so that you can let people know what's going on
Opensource javascript library looking for alpha testers
I'm currently working on a open source library for my graduation.
The library is called Jarallax.
It supports css ajustments based on user interaction.
By default Jarallax uses a scroll controller (simmilar to prallax scrolling websites). but its easy to adapt to a webcam, mouse position, databases, etc.

Jarallax is keyframe based, you can write your own custom controllers.

If you run RAID 10 on a busy system and a disk fails, everything keeps running at full speed until you replace the missing disk and rebuild your redundancy.

If you run RAID 5 or 6 and a disk fails, suddenly every read operation becomes several times slower because the missing data must be computed from the parity and remaining data channels. If your normal day-to-day load on the storage is too high you are screwed until you rebuild your missing disk.

> So, which of those things are they planning for OS X, eh?

Fairly, clear I would have thought. There is substantial overlap between the OS X and iOS codebases. Having anti- TiVoization clauses in code central to OS X poses problems whenever they want to use a funky feature in iOS, or indeed on the AppleTV. It makes things much simpler if this type of code can be avoided.
Both NY-DB01 (runs everything but Stack Overflow) and NY-DB03 (runs Stack Overflow) have identical backup counterparts: NY-DB02 and NY-DB04. NY-DB04 is on a mirrored config and is always a few minutes behind, while NY-DB02 is restoring scheduled backups. With SQL Server 2012, the backup/mirror is greatly improved and both boxes will have fully-hot spares in a replica configuration. In 2008 R2, SQL Server just doesn't handle mirroring 100+ databases well.

It has always been a fantasy of mine that a boatload of 25 brokers would be shipwrecked and struggle to an island from which there could be no rescue. Faced with developing an economy that would maximize their consumption and pleasure, would they, I wonder, assign 20 of their number to produce food, clothing, shelter, etc., while setting five to trading endlessly on the future output of the 20?"

> It's a performance optimisation at the expense of security for Chrome users.

I'm arguing that the current, soft-fail revocation checking is useless and that we're not losing anything by switching it off. The actual revocation mechanism at the moment is that a CA highlights a major problem and all browsers push a software update to block it, because nobody trusts the revocation system to work.

So an update mechanism that allows us to react faster is a clear improvement on pushing full-browser updates. But, independent of that, the soft-fail checks aren't actually protecting anyone and it's past time that we recognised that and prompted the introduction of schemes that actually can work, i.e. mandatory OCSP stapling or short-lived certs.
exactly what I'm after, thanks!
Yes! Great idea, I've been hacking on something similar. Let me know if you want any help.
It's a philosophical issue. The original developer who uses GPL often thinks of what they are doing as gifting their work to the world. Having it sequestered into a money making project is rather like seeing the birthday present you bought for a friend sold on Ebay.

The web has quickly become a main culture-driving force. As long as an open information environment exists, our global culture has the capacity to enter an Age of Reason where tactics of oppression and manipulation in the past will rarely be revisited.

Making thinkers more proactive is the chief concern, though. Too often, they will philosophize until their tongues almost fall off, but when it comes to preventing future infringements upon their rights, they just assume they will be fine. Next thing they know, someone's cut off their tongue, and they are rendered speechless.

Perhaps making it useless to connect these concerns in all but trivial cases. I tend to use the command line a lot and like browsers such as uzbl.

As the others mention, read performance is bad while in a degraded state. However, seeing as they're running their log on the same drives, they have quite a lot of write ops as well.

Building The Ecosystem
The reason i prefer xubuntu is the fact that Kubuntu is going the way of ubuntu by investing heavily on eyecandy, touch-like interfaces and excessive UI bloat. KDE seems to be the best overall platform for development, but the interface is trying too much to be everything. I think they should reconsider falling back to a simple clean default desktop, because they are doing a disservice to the developers of thousands of great KDE apps.

Comments & Compound Lines Rendering, Export PDF File Using Core Fonts
The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for .NET & Java (11.0.0) has been released. This new release supports rendering of comments in Microsoft Word to fixed-page formats such as PDF. The output is similar to how Microsoft Word renders comments to formats like PDF. There were a large number of requests from our customers to find a way to decrease the size of rendered PDF documents. The latest version of Aspose.Words introduces new options which allow you to choose how fonts are exported to PDF, either by using standard core PDF fonts or system installed fonts instead of embedding them into the document. Using either one of these options results in significant reduction in the file size of PDFs generated using Aspose.Words. Note that these options are mutually exclusive so you should choose only one at a time to use for your particular needs. Previous versions of Aspose.Words use standard GDI+ objects for rendering compound (multiline) lines. This worked well when rendering directly to image, but such document formats as PDF and XPS have no explicit support for compound lines. The only way to render such lines types to these formats is to draw them as a set of normal lines. This technique has been implemented and is now available in the latest version of Aspose.Words.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 atm. I plan to upgrade to 12.04 in July (after its had a few months to bed in), but I'm weary of what to expect from their next UI update, given their recent history. Unless I hear good things, I'll be moving over to Xubuntu.
I'd expect that any such machine would be released as an extended iPad line, with OS X running a compat layer for iOS apps. Apps could theoretically ship as fat binaries (/again/) to work on both, but that much seems like quite a jump --- people can buy laptops now, with great battery life. It's the simplicity of iOS that drives its appeal.

Ironic that they are "worried" about "government control" given how often their governments control huge chunks of the economy, private sector and the general distrust and vilification of capitalism (you think the OWS is bad, wait till you hear the ex-commies and philosophy professors talking about social justice to the plebs, these guys are in the government here). It's more about them being pissed off about piracy prevention which is common not only for personal use but also in businesses.

The biggest problem I have with branches in git is that there does not seem to be a simple way to delete a branch in a version controlled way.

For me, the whole point of version control is to be able to go back and look at what I did earlier. The idea of doing destructive deletes of branches is madness. However, if you don't, you end up in the situation I have now, where my project has over a hundred branches, most of them minor changes or attempts at things that didn't pan out.

The overhead this causes (including, just scrolling through the list of branches) now makes me less eager to branch in new projects I work on. In svn, I would just do 'svn rm branches/stupid-idea' and it would be gone, but still exist in the history if I ever wanted it.

Update: Alleged Source Code Thieves Attempt to Extort Symantec
startssl.com is part of the cartel you don't want to feed... Yes, they offer free certificates, but only in order to market their paid certificates.

FWIW, I use free certs from startssl.com myself.

If you really want to avoid the "cartel", use cacert.org or a self signed cert.

Being of the sysadmin sort, my immediate thought is if the memory is going to downclock because of the number of DIMMs populated. Of course, this only happens if it's an Intel box. And you also may not care. With only 288GB you can definitely buy some new hardware before having to scale out the number of boxes. They make 1TB of RAM machines now...

While you mentioned SAN storage being really expensive (and the price changes depending who you are), you really can't beat the caching modules. I've got a Netapp with 512GB of read cache, and you can buy them in smaller sizes.

Have you guys noticed a degradation of SSD performance? I've never used SSDs in a machine before, and I know Anandtech always writes about the performance degrading after the drive gets mostly full. I just wondered if you've run across the problem in production.
I think spun down HDs would be a lot easier. They have standard interfaces which makes them cheap and flexible. Get a bunch of USB 3 docks[1] and some $10/hour clerks to shuffle the drives around.

Some ideas seem kind of interesting, like the HUD thingy, but I very much doubt it will be enough to bring disappointed users back to using Ubuntu. Xubuntu is quite good if you're looking for something close to the gnome 2 experience.
The free one also wont work with wildcard certs, and will only accept one hostname in the subjectAltName field. My domain is "grepular.com", the certificate needs to contain "secure.grepular.com" for historical reasons. This means, when I use startssl, I can't include "www.grepular.com" in the cert. Unless I pay for a cert.

Its true commitment of Zuckerberg and an example of leadership .What I learned from Zuckerberg :- Few days ago,I reached to an Indian VC for seedfund,I told him Sir I have two apps with business plan and demo then I have shown both apps, He told me you apps are good but I really scared to invest on app, I was surprised!, I asked "Whats your concern sir", He told me , If you have two apps, then might be after few months you'd have 2 more apps. He gave me this example of Zuckerberg, build and follow one path till your app won't die. And its up to you what you decide.
By the way, I went ahead and got a free StartSSL certificate. So far it seems to work fine. Thanks again for your feedback.
The only reason why this project will fall-on-the-face is that here a Government with least technical competence (notwithstanding the down-votes) is dreaming to implement a solution (almost Utopian) to the most socio-technically challenging problem known worldwide and that too for a country of a billion bare-footed men. Besides, there is no-one to stop the nation from bleeding to scams and corruption.

It's inspiring that you are successful with something as "ordinary" as a time tracking tool. Just goes to show that there is still opportunity even in what most people would think of as a totally saturated space.
You don't necessarily want to publish all branches to your main project repository, just long-running ones or those that many people hack on. For most branches, especially experiments, use a branch in a personal repository instead. You can merge from that repository to the main repository if the experiment works out, and otherwise leave it around as an experimental repository and/or archive it. Look at git.kernel.org for an example: linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git only has a "master" branch, but numerous other repositories exist for experiments and development.

That said, I'd also love to see a mechanism for version-control of historical branches. Perhaps something like a reflog with expiration turned off.
