Apache is more than sufficient in handling the traffic of the majority of sites on the net. Which gives very little reason for those sites to switch (or for that matter, upgrade to the new version). Which means ZDNet is right on the money. It is extremely unlikely that anything will overtake Apache in the next few years. As for 10 years down the road? I doubt it'll be Apache in the lead. I also doubt it'll be NGINX.
I also thought that was odd, and used the latter version in the first few exercises. But later there was some code of the form:

def move(p, U):
q = []
for i in range(len(p)):
s = pExact * p[(i-U) % len(p)]
s = s + pOvershoot * p[(i-U-1) % len(p)]
s = s + pUndershoot * p[(i-U+1) % len(p)]
q.append(s)
return q

where the index is used to access the previous and next elements in a list.

There's a more idiomatic way to get this index variable(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/522563/accessing-the-inde...), but using a consistent, easy to understand iteration method allows the poor confused student (i.e. me) to spend more time focusing on the concept being taught.

So the code could be intentional, or could be an accident. But I expect that sooner rather than later there will be some data to show which method, if any, is better for the students, and the classes will be adjusted accordingly.

By the way, did anyone else find these exercises addictive? I can begin to appreciate why the Farmville cow-clickers keep at it.
This is a problem you can be sure you've solved, only to find a twist in the road.

It's problem 1 in The Art of Mathematics by Béla Bollobás, a challenging puzzle book for serious math junkies. The solution in that book has a good explanation of (a) what you probably didn't think of, and sounds right; and (b) why it's wrong.

And just when you think Bollobás's book had the final word, you found out there are versions of the puzzle when both players can win. What? Don't take my word for it:

Twitter is a different beast, it's a public stream, but what does FB messenger offer over email, other than an improved user experience? (for some value of improved...)

De-IT public schools. There is too much emphasis (money) on networking a school and not enough money spent on bringing the teachers on board with using their computers for teaching. A school near to me spent 350K on new updates to the network and only three teachers at the school use it for something other than posting their grades. Pitiful. Start a training business for teachers to upgrade their skills.

From my experience with Agile, I believe that most companies do it wrong. I know my company does. But it helped us dig 2 projects out of the never-ending abyss of scope creep and constant end-user changes when we converted to Scrum. So when I hear "you're doing Agile wrong" it makes no sense to me. You make what you can out of it. You mold it to fit your practices. It will most likely never work for you out of the box and it takes time... it just does.

Honestly, I didn't even get to the end of the article and stopped soon the author started glamorizing Googlers. I was more offended with "Google does it right and you're wrong" and calling everyone in the world stupid than by the author rendering the whole Agile practice useless.

My problem with this representation is that it assumes the pursuer is unable to "lead" its target.

How can the pursuer lead the target when the target moves randomly? At best, he can adjust his lead with an infinitesimal delay, but its not clear this allows him to catch the target in finite time.

Ask HN: What do you use for email drip campaigns? (InfusionSoft, etc?)
I'm launching a new startup and I want to use good outbound email marketing in the form of a "drip campaign", where users are sent emails at 1 day, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, 60 days after signup, and recieve different emails if they've signed up for the product or not.

I've worked with InfusionSoft but its $199/mo at the cheapest, and seen some alternatives like AllClients and Nanacast. They all have a very "1.0" feel about them and I'm wondering if there isnt a tool that is the preferred / state of the art for this type of thing/

For those that run web-based lifestyle startups, What do you use for email drip campaigns? (InfusionSoft, AllClients, Nanacast, etc?)
I think its strength is definitely when you are collaborating with other folks. Like a call center of engineers working on a ticket. They could leave little sticky notes per packet. It's definitely meant for a shared environment.

I could see a large number of possibilities: remotely debugging network issues, collaboratively reversing a protocol, collaborative forensic analysis, etc.

The ability to make this into a collaborative tool is great -- I'd love to turn this into a protocol reversing tool where I can work with people in real time to figure things out.

Edit: Just noticed it's not open source. That's a real shame, but hopefully someone will use this as inspiration for an open, flexible tool with the same concept.
I think the main issue here is that probably everyone has an idea/project.

How do you match two founders who both want someone to work on their own idea? Maybe we should be looking for someone who is prepared to agree to give both ideas a go, equally.

I know it's a tall order, and I see (ego) trouble ahead, but think of it this way : surely it doesn't matter which idea succeeds if you're both sharing the profits?
Never underestimate the power of "good enough".

Apache is "good enough" for most people.

NGINX or Node.js really don't bring much new to the table of "good enough".

It's why plan 9 isn't as popular as it probably should be. UNIX was good enough.
It's a crappy protocol, I agree. I don't see how that's relevant though.

You can conclude that the tamer will be eaten if the lion simply moves towards the tamer.

In traditional pursuit curves, the region in which the chase happens is unbounded. Here, this isn't the case.

The best that the tamer can do if the lion uses this strategy is to move away from the lion. If at any point he is unable to do so (i.e. when he hits a wall of the cage) then the distance shrinks.

Depending on the speeds at which they can travel and the size of the cage, the lion will either catch the tamer in a finite amount of time, or he will asymptotically approach the tamer.

As time tends towards infinity, the lion will probably eat the guy due to sheer chance of both of them going the same direction at the right time.

This is all but obvious to me. I pick a random number from 0 to 2*Pi. If you guess my number correctly, you get to eat me. You can guess an infinite amount of times.

Who wins this game? Does the answer depend on the assumption of fundamental axioms?

When I was reading the passages about new technology and the de-contextualation of media I was actually stuck by how the reality of media and communications landscape has eclipsed the novel in terms of absurdity. We now don't just phone instead of video-chat we text each other, now instead of physically owning entertainment cartridges we just receive a 30-day license that allows us to watch it. The truth as always has surpassed fiction.

Because the standard says that it should. In this circumstance they can legitimately claim "in all good faith". We can't lambaste MS for running roughshod over standards when ever it suits them (and believe me, I do) then turn around and moan because we don't a like the side-effect of them implementing a standard correctly (correctness here being defined by the standard, not any other measure of desirability) - that would be somewhat hypercritical.

MS are (by my interpretation at any rate) being catty about this and using it as an excuse to get a petty shot out against Google, but that doesn't alter the three facts:

1. The standard has flaws

2. MS has implemented the standard (flaws and all, but that isn't the point)

3. Google (and others, though Google is the one MS are calling out) appear to be using a loophole in the standard to go against the spirit of the standard. If they don't agree with using that header for its intended purpose then they should just not include it. Including a header that is intended to be machine readable but giving it human readable content is not something that can be easily defended: they could easily include it as "x-P3P" instead which is perfectly valid. Any human that does looking for the P3P header will find a message in a x-P3P header just as readily and it wouldn't confuse the client application into opening greater access because it doesn't understand the "for humans" message

Perhaps, considering the "assume human fallibility over malicious intent unless there is evidence otherwise" maxim, Google (and facebook, and everyone else that does this but isn't being fingered for it right now) did this in all good faith rather than to deliberately make use of a loophole, in which case the right course of action is to encourage them to correct this oversight instead of telling MS to ignore part of the standard.
Nice work. I hope it gets more attention in the next hours. Seems like an interesting starting point for all kinds of experiments.

Am I missing something? My reasoning is that the lion will easily catch the lion tamer by moving straight towards him/her. If the tamer moves in the same direction, he/she will eventually hit a wall. If the tamer moves in any other direction, the lion will be able to move at least slightly closer to it. Repeat until caught. Or?
BlackBerry is Bust
What does jark have over swank?
Very cool.

I think the approach is clean, nicely composable, and directly usable. Well done Chris.
Depending on the speeds at which they can travel and the size of the cage, the lion will either catch the tamer in a finite amount of time, or he will asymptotically approach the tamer.

Given that they're point masses, I can't see how speed and size of the cage could affect the solution. Unless the initial distance between lion and tamer also factors in.
It's probably mentioned in the documents that come with the software. I know that when I bought my Korg ER-1 way too long ago, I pored over the manual and the bit about the presets definitely stuck out to me - you were apparently not allowed to use any of the preset beats in any commercial music. Is that ever enforced? I can't possibly see the legal department of a musical instrument company going after a musician for using presets. That's especially true for music software companies, which (I presume) operate on much smaller budgets.
Interesting difference. I've not noticed that. But when I think about it, what does "major new version" mean?
It'll most likely be a second coming of the Internet, more decentralized than ever using mesh networking... People already use gigabit LAN networks in apartment blocks - combine that with high speed Wifi and other wireless/optics communications and new protocols and it's problem solved - then governments and regulating organizations will have to lower their demands or people would just stop using them - solves the trans-oceanic Internet problem, as well...
Whilst this is a good novelty, please please please don't do this - ever!

As my father said "just because you can put your penis in a goat, doesn't mean you should".
Sure, thats cool, but a single web app is not the place for that.

Instead, places like GitHub and the like need to get smarter about what they are actually storing and facilitate collaborative analysis that way.

I disagree. Nginx brings a lot to the table in simplicity and ease-of-use.

Just reading an nginx.conf and comparing it to an httpd.conf should be enough to convince you what nginx brings to the table.
A "major version" in the software world means an integer bump, like 2.0, 3.0.

In this context, "major new version" means a non-patch release, with new features.

It really just depends on how you model time and space. Assume that the lion and man are on a hex grid and the lion is 1 unit from the man. The man can now move to 3 spaces without being caught and change his orientation relative to the lion, which assuming the grid is reasonably large allows for him to move along a closed loop though space which means he can stay alive.

If on the other hand the man is moving +/- 1 X and or Y on an XY grid at (1,0) and the lion is at (0,0) then the man must move to (2,Y) or risk being eaten which means his X must increase which mean he will eventually hit a wall.

PS: If the lion can always get within striking distance of the man then there is no difference between moving at the same time and alternating, because the lion can chose randomly and then catch back up on a miss which enables him to win eventually.
Even if it has no use its an interesting practical thing to try to do.

Amen to what Steve says about a work queue. I've been in environments where, more than once, a dialogue with my manager would go like this:

Me: "My to-do list is empty."

Manager: "Oh, umm, let's have a meeting to talk about that... [consults calendar...] the day after tomorrow." Or even: "Yeah, I know, I'm still looking for something for you to do."

Now, if I had cast-iron balls, or an amulet that gave me a +5 bonus on my saving throw versus layoffs, I would respond to that with "OK, I'll just stay home tomorrow and check email on my laptop every few hours, just in case something comes up." But that's not how the game is played, of course.

The general consensus is that all things considered, things are bad enough to warrant a riot.

After closer inspection, that, of course, is not the case, however, the people trying to protest get ridiculed by the media (which shapes the general public opinion) because those in power don't want a riot.

We're given just enough to become satiated. Time after time, it is getting less and less. The time we get handed nothing, it'll be too late to do anything about it except riot. The protests come first because we want to play by the rules. Eventually, we realize that it is a rigged game, so the rules go out the window at that point.

new "major version" is jargon - a term of art with a generally accepted meaning of incrementing the most significant version number.

"major" new version is just English - it's a new version with significant enhancements or impact.

Quaalude Nostalgia: A Retro Drug That Everyone Remembers Fondly
To the RIAA, the Music Industry really is collapsing. They are used to the Music Industry being one entity that they have control over. But the music industry is just changing, and now many indie artists and producers are able to release music to a huge audience without using the distribution channels that the RIAA sought to protect. So, the Music Industry as it was known 10+ years ago is collapsing. However, in it's place is a new music industry with a vastly different business model. And the RIAA will either realize the world has changed and try to grab some market share before it's all gone, or they will cease to exist.
It also makes different trade-offs in usability of the software. It is (in my opinion) the most sysadmin friendly datastore, without hiding complexity, the tools are just pleasant to use. However, it has a larger curve for developers. We did a shootout to find a solution that would work for our needs and it came down to Mongo vs. Riak. We went with Mongo and are feeling the pain of getting everything automated and set up, but consider it a one-time cost rather than an "every time we get a new developer" cost.
