How does a network admin debug a binary protocol for which no dissector has been implemented/merged into core for Wireshark, and no decoder has been written for tcpdump?

It's obviously doable, but it's very painful.

Exactly, they're not lossless. I don't know if they're deliberately doing it, but they've decided that audiophiles don't matter, much as they always do (see people who used to use expresscard on MBP's, film makers etc etc), and just plain ignore people who want to purchase high-quality content. Thankfully bandcamp exists and I buy off there all the time.

That's not offset + limit; it's start ID + count, which is functionally very different from offset + limit.

If Reddit were to use offset + limit, one would frequently visit page 2 only to see the same articles they were reading on page 1 five minutes before. A good example of this issue with offset + limit based pagination is 4chan, which is basically impossible to read in a linear or sane manner.

Reddit somewhat alleviates the problem by ensuring that posts after the last one you read are displayed - you'll occasionally see some of the same posts you were reading on page one, and occasionally miss posts that "jump" to page one while you're reading it, but it'll at least be usable, unlike 4chan.
You're right, to my shame. I should've thought of XDR myself, after suffering through a lecture on it at uni.

This looks very nice which leads me to a somewhat tangential question: how is it that the photography on these sites is so gorgeous?

This is just supposed to be stuff from one's closet. I fancy myself as handy with a DSLR and even I wonder if I'd be taking such classy DOF-y Bokeh-y pics of watches and shoes to post on (an admittedly much niftier version of) Craigslist?

Just imagine what a poorer impression this site would make if the pics actually were like what you'd find on Craigslist? Is the front page curated like heck or what?

This is the curiously recurring template pattern http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring_template_.... And I'm am generally against it because it makes the type parameters noisy and confusing. A better approach IMHO is to use return type covariance in the subclass to specialize the types. Basically you override the super class methods but declare them to return the subclass type (but the implementations just call the super class implementation). It can be a little more work if there are a lot of super class methods but it creates a much more readable class.

The simplest way to upgrade is to create a new ASP.NET MVC 4 project and copy all the views, controllers, code, and content files from the existing MVC 3 project to the new project and then to update the assembly references in the new project to match the old project.

Isn't Wireshark extensible in Lua?

I can see both sides of the argument here, but basing a protocol on text just for the ease of eyeballing it on-the-wire seems like optimizing for the uncommon case.

Heck, almost any decent protocol should only have ciphertext on-the-wire anyway.
The line where the original attributes are backed up needs to be a deep copy (otherwise the updates will affect the backed up dictionary):

Small Business Owners Gain Upper Hand with Server Colocation in Australia
Large companies do have the financial resources that allow them to build their own IT infrastructure, create an IT department and shoulder all other huge costs associated in running an IT function. However, small business owners lack this asset which is why it is hard for them to compete with the business Goliaths. With server colocation, they can gain access to excellent hosting service the same or even exceeding those of the major players.

That's more or less like saying "well they can just write the decode". They're network administrators. If you use an ASCII protocol, they don't have to do anything.
Embarrassment, indeed =)

Relatedly, it's about simply making people choose one of three options (at the moment): 1) Don't copy it 2)Be okay with everyone knowing your name – i.e.: take a stand and flaunt your disagreement with copyright law or 3) Do a lot of manual work to scrub your name off (even harder if they're PW locked).

Regardless, I like it because it's simple and it embraces the new realities (and abilities) of digital distribution. They could never do that with mass-market books 10 years ago, but now, it's trivial to do with on demand pdfs.

This. Sample rate, bit depth, and even compression bitrate/settings matter little these days. Between the ultra-loud limiting/compression, poor quality source material and samples, and cheap playback equipment 95% of the target audience will never know the difference between high and low quality delivery formats.

SOAP - The S stands for Simple
You say that to me a lot.

My point is that I imagine a network designer shouldn't focus on Wireshark or tcpdump integration over other non-functional requirements such as, well, network performance.

Network performance isn't as visible as the non-functional requirement of inspectability because it is amortised over potentially millions of machines, whereas inspectability is an immediately visible issue to the select few who "pop the hood" to fix an issue or simply to have a look.

For example: in terms of network capacity, I wonder how much HTTP headers cost all of us collectively. Probably a lot more than the cost of making a Wireshark plugin and having sysadmins install it as necessary.

Edit: put another way, I think designers should prioritise the needs of the people who pay the cost of network operation over the convenience of the operators.

There's a feedback loop here -- if it's too hard and thus very expensive to operate a system, then optimising for performance was a false win. But I don't think this is such a case, especially since as you pointed out elsewhere there are a number of very mature binary wire formats that were extant in 2007.

Yes, you are correct, I was merely being lazy in my description.
Sheesh... come on, think about what you are saying. Firstly you say that "if something exists, it cannot be judged to be bad"...? Second, death is necessary for new thought patterns...?
Sorry, it is YOU who needs to accept the current reality: death IS bad. Unfortunately we feel so powerless about this right now that people think up justifications to cope with the fact.
Me, I'm in favor of acknowledging death as a problem and spending significant resources to try and solve it.

Minus the pirating bit, this; a thousand times this!

This is one of the reasons that I'm actually sad to see the CD go. When producers mastered for CD, you got the best quality that they could produce or that the CD could hold. (Whichever came first.) Now that the CD is fading into irrelevance, theres the worry that digital distribution will make the average quality of a track worse instead of what it should be, better than CD. (Though at this point I'd take parity with CD quality.) Yeah, I get it, lossless tracks take up a lot of memory. They should still be an option to purchase though. Lossless is the default state for recordings anyway.

I don't even have the equipment required to hear the difference. It just doesn't sit right with me to support a business that blatantly panders to the LCD at the expense of everyone else.

"Mastered for Itunes" Just reaffirms this for me.
I've tracked them for a long time. They do a an amazing job of PR. Their product did not deliver anything for years but with the massive amount of cash they have, it was bound to get somewhere eventually. Today it's way beyond where it was when they were just delivering lessons over Adobe Connect a few years ago. The problem is that the entire time they've been talking the same talk. So it's hard to gauge at this point how good of a system they really have because when it was non-existant they talked about it the same way they talk about it now, $50 million in funding later. I do wish them luck and applaud them for having a big vision but it's hard to tell if the smoke and mirrors were ever replaced with anything meaningful.
That's interesting because I'm using ICS on my Xoom right now with a mouse and a keyboard and it works great. The only thing really missing is a keyboard shortcut here and there and window borders. The keyboard shortcus will come in time as they are already fairly robust in the browser and the window borders? Who needs 'em.

People who spend that kind of money generally don't expect to have to do anything for themselves. That is why they pay 10x more.
Sublime Text is very similar to TextMate, supporting many of the same keybindings, snippets, and themes. (I've even set up my system to use Ryan Bates's Railscast theme to keep things looking familiar.) Unlike TextMate, Sublime Text supports multiple panes and is cross-platform.

Because of its advantages (being cross-platform is the clincher), I'm planning to use Sublime Text in place of TextMate in the 2nd edition of the Rails Tutorial screencasts. I also hope to make a Sublime-specific screencast at some point, with an emphasis on keyboard shortcuts useful for Rails development. Further updates as events warrant.

Banks borrow from overseas markets. The largest such market by a wide margin is the USA. Cheap US dollars make their way around the world, variously driving up currencies and driving down interest rates offered by banks.

Here in Australia, there's been a great deal of consternation that the "Big 4" banks no longer closely follow the movements in the cash rate set by the Reserve Bank (our central bank). This is because central bank funds have fallen to less than half of the cost of funding for our banks -- they mostly get their cash from the US and relend it Australians.

When the crisis first broke, Australian bank rates rose even while central bank rates fell. And that's because international finance became much more expensive.

Five Leadership Mistakes of the Galactic Empire
When I saw this headline on HN I thought to myself "Wow, Apple is finally implementing ReplayGain in iTunes and on iDevices?". Sadly this is not the case. It could do more for the quality of music on iTunes than any increases in bit depth or sample rate.

A quick word on bit depth: 16 bit audio gives us a potential signal to noise ratio of 96dB, which is plenty. The reason why we record in 24 bits is for increased headroom. If I make a 24 bit recording (potential S/N ratio of 144dB, but 124dB with current converters), but my loudest peak is at -18dB, I still have a S/N ratio of 106dB. I can then bring it into a DAW, give it 18dB of digital gain, and my S/N ratio of the 16 bit output file will still be 96dB.

Having a higher fidelity acquisition format than delivery format is not unique to audio. This is why photographers may shoot in RAW, but output to jpeg or tiff and why HD video is edited in 145Mbit/s, but delivered on blu-ray in 40 Mbit/s. It allows for some tweaking in post-production that doesn't come at the expense of not maximizing the potential of the delivery format.

As for bit rates, I think most of the negative perceptions about digital audio come from back when iTunes's default encoding was 128 kbps and ADC technology was still maturing as well as a knee-jerk reaction to lossy compression in general. When I make classical recordings available for web release I use LAME at the V2 setting. Obviously, what bit rate is "good enough" is dependent on program material, but for me that's a reasonably small file size where I don't hear compression artifacts. I know they take some crap for it, but I think Apple choosing 256kbps VBR AAC to be their iTunes plus setting was a good choice.

I don't attempt to fully understand the business implications of these decisions, but "mastered for iTunes" appears to be more gimmick than substance. It may be that Apple is holding on to the high resolution master files for future ALAC release. The engineers quoted in the article talking about having to compensate for AAC's losses are almost certainly talking about 128kbps. A great-sounding recording mastered at 16bit/44.1khz, will still sound great when properly encoded.

Also, Apple's "Mastered for iTunes" technology brief seems to be written with hobbyist engineers in mind. I can't imagine any competent mastering engineer finding it useful. Just further evidence that audio mastering as a craft is on its way out.

... 'it' refers to which reference?

ref 1 seems to be a series of excerpts of articles
ref 2 is a literature review of historical acounts

neither ref 1 nor 2 is a scientific study, and according to the dates come from around 2000

ref 3 wiki article referencing articles from 2005, ref 4 is science journalism and refers to a 1993 study

remaining refs are all studies from 2006+

So, yes, I didn't know it existed. I've never heard sleep professionals talk about it in my career to 2006ish. Good sleep was pretty universally considered a contiguous segment of uninterrupted sleep with particular cycles by sleep practitioners. My problem is not with the content - I'm open to learning about new things about stuff I 'know' - but with your description of it being something well-known and universally accepted for a long time.

I think it's fascinating, and thank you for providing references. But it's really a very new avenue of formally studied biology.
