This is a totally disingenuous comment. From the linked PDF (note: this also occurs on page 7, not page 6, for those who wish to verify):

"We discovered that Microsoft’s support website recommends the use of invalid CPs as a work-around for a problem in IE. Specifically, a FRAMESET or parent window that references another site inside a FRAME considers the referenced site as a third-party, even if it is first-party content located on the same server [10]. Microsoft suggests the following invalid CP: CAO PSA OUR. This CP is clearly invalid since it does not contain any RETENTION or CATEGORIES tokens. Even if the CP were valid, Microsoft’s recommendation undermines the purpose of P3P since it encourages web administrators to use CPs that do not represent their actual data practices. We found several technical blogs recommending similar solutions [11], [19]."

So yes, a Microsoft support site did recommend a set of invalid CPs, but this is clearly not the same trick. This is a legitimate set of CP tokens that is used to workaround an issue where 1st party content appears to IE as 3rd party content. This token set is invalid because RETENTION/CATEGORIES tokens are missing, but the web author's intent here is (theoretically) honest.

Google, on the other hand, is providing no tokens whatsoever. Instead, in their P3P header they provide a human-readable string and a link to their privacy policy. This is not an invalid but intellectually honest set of tokens that is designed to comply with the spirit of the standard, if not the letter. This is an attempt to bypass the standard in order to allow 3rd party cookies, regardless of user settings.

The fact that you are equating these two practices is completely dishonest. Even a cursory glance through this document makes it clear that the Microsoft support site is advocating something completely different and is doing so in order to enable a fairly legitimate scenario.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The title made me think it would be specialist coverage, but it's actually widely-applicable tools just taught in the context of robotic cars. I'm pretty sure you could teach such a class either way.
'Dead' doesn't exist in the article, it's a (pointless) bit of editorializing by the submitter.

The article revolves around email having stagnated, which pretty nicely fits the "no longer growing" part.
Yup, I have. And saying "fair use" makes about as much sense as saying "abracadabra" -- it's an incredibly narrow set of criteria that you can use if you're actually in court, not a magic word you can utter to make things work to your advantage.

Meanwhile, the assumed default status of anything created in a Berne Convention country in the past 90 years or so is still "all rights reserved".
He can get on a plan that doesn't cover as much. I'm in my 30s and I have a plan through blue cross that's about $100/month and covers emergencies and checkups are $10/$20. The deductible is $3000.

This could cover him until he gets another job.
Basecamp is a bit different, since the application itself is running mostly server-side so it is essentially already loaded. It's possible that the startup/init time of the actual RoR application on a server may take considerably longer.

With web applications the key to speed is more about writing efficient JS, having a good caching strategy and ensuring your server can handle many concurrent requests. A lot of these can be solved by the developers simply throwing more money at their server tech, when it comes to client-only applications you can't realistically buy all of your users new computers.
Surprisingly, NTFS does allow for transactions [1] and this feature is implemented since Vista, while as far as I know, HFS+ on Macs has no comparable feature. Therefore what you say may in fact be true.

I'm curious if cutting the power on a Mac while it's moving files into place will break a software update, or if the whole package receipt mechanism prevents that from occurring.

Again, you say that you want to weed out prima donnas. Yet, you act like a prima donna yourself with "we're not equal". Do everyone a favor - don't even invite people to the interviews when you don't think they are your equals - you are wasting their time.

You whole argument tells me you never actually hired people to work for you. Sitting on interviews and writing feedbacks is very different from hiring people to implement your ideas i.e. when your job depends on the work people you hired produce. Making talented people work for you when they don't have to is not an easy thing. Sitting on a high horse, like you are, it is pretty impossible.
Every Photoshop equivalent program I've ever used (with the same level of functionality) takes at least the same amount of time to load. I'm pretty sure GIMP actually takes longer.

One of the many things I love about using next to no GUI programs and a minimalist window manager is the lack of notifications.

The only time I get a notification is when I receive an email (assuming I have a terminal running mutt for that address) or a PM/IM (assuming I have a terminal running irssi). And the notification? The color of a 30x10 pixel block changes from black to red.

I can turn off this notification on a service-by-service basis with a simple hotkey that disables the visual bell in my terminal.

That's it! No growl-like service telling me when anything happens anywhere in the world. No badged icons reminding me I still have 17 unread items. If I want to be distracted, I switch desktops to see what alerted me; if I don't, I can ignore that one for hours.

Great to see that someone is still innovating on EMail. GMail was last major +ve change that happened to EMail and its been too long.

The program that I use which takes the longest to load is eclipse , that takes around 10 seconds to load.

All I do when I switch my computer on in the morning is load up my mail client which opens pretty much instantly and then click the eclipse icon. By the time I've glanced at my mail to see if there's anything urgent that needs my immediate attention eclipse has already loaded.

I would say I lose exponentially more time to interruptions and distractions than I do waiting for my computer to load anything.

The only time my computer takes a really long time to do anything is when I have to copy down a large dataset from production to my workstation to debug some weird issue. This is going to take 10 minutes anyway so I just use the time to make coffee or something.

Hackers: run Run Noe's Nest, 1257 Guerrero at 7 am
The "Robotic Car" is nothing else but a way of attracting people to the course. Reading the contents of the course, we could easily substitute "Programming a Robotic Car" by "Artificial Intelligence for Robotics". I would like to see a bit more of Theory of Control on the topics but I guess it requires advanced Algebra.

Every time that I read about technology I feel like we have to realize that every time more generalists will be needed. Mechanics, dynamics, control, computer vision, energy, fluids, signal processing, artificial intelligence, statistics are some of the skills needed for a real Robotic Car, and of course, nobody can expect to learn them in 7 weeks.

The best thing Gmail has going for it are the shortcuts. They're the best feature for ripping through an email backlog. I hope anybody working on an email client includes shortcuts for everything. Once you get used to them, it's painful touching your mouse.
I take it you never used mutt?

That is how you rip through thousands of emails in insanely short times. Much MUCH faster then gmail.
Generalist developer seeking biz or designer cofounder to launch AudienceAmp, an app to make attending presentations/conferences more enjoyable & meaningful via realtime interaction. Core features include standard stuff usually available as single services, like polling or surveying. Few apps/platforms consolidate them & the ones that do have a lot of pain points.

My team & I won Startup Weekend Baton Rouge in November with this idea. The long-term roadmap is pretty solid, too. Hint: loosen your definition of presentation/conference, but we can discuss that later. There's been a lot of interest expressed in the idea & I've got a plan for launch, but nothing's set in stone, of course.

Ask away if you've got questions!
It reminds me of a similar service, ZeroMail [1] (also from Australia). The UI for Fluent is intuitive, and a nice break from Gmail (esp. with Gmail's new look).

Given the influx of e-mails I get a day from listservs, friends, business contacts, customers and random services (Groupon et al.), I see this already busy interface getting cluttered very fast. That said, I only tried the demo and would be interested to see what it looks like on my actual inbox with real people.

For anyone with a high latency (huge swathes of the US are still stuck with satellite or mobile and the tech industry seems to have ignored this), twitter is a nightmare. The first pageload only pulls the empty 'framework' page, then a series of js requests pull the information. You can't walk away while it loads, either, because it will register the latency and display errors instead of content.
The Ten Commandments - George Carlin (subtítulos español) - YouTube
If I was using some software and it was so unstable that I had to restart it over-and-over again I'd conclude that there was either something horribly wrong with my setup somewhere in which case I'd try and resolve it or that the software was simply a POS and I would stop using it.

I very rarely have program crashes these days and when I do it is usually down to either a failing hard disk or that I am using something version 0.x of something.

I do agree to an extent about Windows updates though , these do tend to nark me (especially the nag screens). Unless it's patching something that would allow privileged remote code execution onto my box right now it can wait.

Any company that was genuinely worried about their staff losing productivity due to slow program loads would just install SSDs onto all their computers, afterall this is what we at HN generally advocate.

What I find somewhat annoying though is software that has a lot of "visual effects" such as windows that fade in and out where you can't interact with the program until the effect has completed. This is only annoying though if it would have been instant if the effect was not there.
"I've been a Google fanboi for years and defended them in the public square when they've been accused of nefariousness. But these revelations of intentionally ignoring users' privacy settings have shaken me. Maybe it's time to put them into the Facebook category, where I removed my account years ago."

Okay, wait. There's multiple problems here.

The first one is this: that you are only now objecting, and not upset at all about Google handing over dissidents to the Chinese govt to torture and/or kill.

Human fucking life fucking has no fucking value to you? Priorities???

Secondly, they haven't been accussed of nefariousness, they have been caught red-handed, bald faced lied about it in public, only back-pedalled when presented with irrefutable evidence, and then convicted in court. Now, you can try to spin that as "accused", but you're going to need to set the spin cycle longer than normal, because that doesn't wash (sic) with the rest of the world.

Lastly, the problem with replacing Google is finding a good replacement. Bing is useless. The only thing close to gmail for free email (and it's barely in the same ballpark) is yahoo.

Sell a cell phone
Do you know how a cell phone is produced and how it comes in to the market? The need of cell phones creates their demand in the market. This demand encourages the cell phone manufacturers to manufacture more and more cell phones and then supply them in the market so as to bridge the gap between demand and supply.

I believe the best implementation of this patten comes from the trance.fm website. Trance.fm gets that people come to listen to their online radio, so avoiding a page refresh is priority #1. It's very quick and responsive, too. You can listen to the music as a non-member, become a member and rate the song you're listening to, all without the music stopping. I believe it makes for a really good experience.

I think this should be done by using content negotiation. The browser should include a header with the desired resolution (in DPI, not screen pixel width).

The server should then redirect to a new image url (to maintain caching). Something like images/foo.png;dpi=100

Or, perhaps better:

<img src="images/foo.png" dpi="100 70 200">

A browser with support for the dpi attribute would pick the best one from the list, then send a request for an image:

images/foo.png?dpi=100

Older browsers would use the regular image. This would avoid the redirect and the need for special programming on the server (which is hard with ordinary hosting).

One thing that would still need to be worked out is the scaling factor for pixel sizes written in the css for the image.
I'm also an Apple Developer, but I don't see what that has to do about looking up the information with regard to the Gatekeeper feature.

I would also encourage you to read: http://www.panic.com/blog/2012/02/about-gatekeeper/ to actually understand Gatekeeper.

Fair play - but as far as "missing comma" syndrome goes CS still has its problems. e.g. consider an array of objects:

[
a: 1
b: 2
,
a: 3
b: 4
]

If you forget that "," which MUST be dedented a level - you are hosed.

This becomes uglier w/ nested objects

]
,

last: "foulard"
,
first: "sam"
last: "jakob"
]
]

I think I almost prefer:

[

a: 1

b: 4
}
]

For One time if you see splash screen its not a problem. But for example if visual studio crashes so often and it makes you see to splash so often then as author mentioned i would feel like i would commit seppuku. They should try caching or something .
That's possibly just because there is no other contention for the memory. By and large it is the OS that is broadly responsible for memory management, the OS hands out pages of memory to programs and it's upto the programs as to how they use them.

If you have photoshop running and using a lot of RAM it is likely that were you to run another application the RAM usage of photoshop would drop to accommodate the other program as the OS will simply drop some of photoshop's pages and let the other program use them.

There is not really any performance hit from doing this since any page that is not "dirty" (i.e has not been written to) which will be basically any pages containing program code does not need to be swapped back to disk.

If you are concerned you should find a way to measure the quantity of IO going on in the swap area since heavy swap IO will be the best indicator that you either need more memory or something is not as it should be.

For example I run a server that is often at 70% or so of RAM usage but has only swapped something like 10MB of data in the last month.
