I doubt i can suggest a single resource not already mentioned in that SO Post. So i'll give a domain-specific one in the event that you or other HN readers are interested in using python for matrix computation. Of course, the core libraries are NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. On the main SciPy Site, all of the docstrings for a large portion of the methods in NumPy core are collected on a single HTML Page (http://www.scipy.org/Numpy_Example_List_With_Doc). This is an awesome way to learn NumPy--by working the small examples at at the command line. After you do them once, come back to them again, in a few months--"repetition is the mother of skill" as we used to say in the Marines. Two more: there are two excellent tutorials tucked away on the SciPy Site, one called "indexing" and one called "building arrays" which are also comprised of small interactive snippets http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Indexing; http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/BuildingArrays.
Well spotted! It appears that the author does not know the difference between map data and rendering it.

I have looked at other places in OpenStreetMap and Apple Maps tiles and there is no doubt that they use OSM data, just their own renderer.
Sort of, government services are usually impossible to survive without. Apple however, can still miss out on sales by having a downed website.

Thinking that you can judge someone's intelligence by their spelling and grammar is so incredibly wrong. And I don't mean wrong in a moral "don't be that guy" way (though that too), I mean wrong as in technically inaccurate.

The way I read it:

For obvious job security reasons, we can’t discuss our technology's detection capability in detail...

Anyway, I sure feel safe knowing that the security of my life is entrusted to obscurity, and I'm thankful for the trolling TSA blog posts that remind me of this.
Apple uses the same terminology with MacBooks and iPods. "Sixth generation iPod" etc. Apple is known to focus on details, so they probably thought this through and have a good reason to back away from the numerals.
I don't think there is any attempt at anything.

It's just written by someone not very intelligent supervised by someone of similar intelligence swimming in a sea of mediocrity.
Very much agreed. The 64 bit ubiquity move is a solid, sensible step which genuinely makes a lot of lives easier. Nice to see this happening, and it comes at an excellent time for hosting decision I was about to make. Amazon have probably just secured that with this move.
I actually hear about quite often. Being determined to learn python (once time allows), I'm wondering if "learn python the hard way" is good. Does anyone on HN have any experience on it? I'll give it a try anyway, but any feedback regarding this particular way or any other way to learn python is welcome! :-)

Why you should never, EVER write an article that advises other people to never, EVER do something:

a) You have red gnomes jumping in front of you

b) You have no idea why, in my case, using linked lists actually makes a lot of sense

c) if linked lists were to be "considered evil", someone else would have found out in the last 20 years.

The bottom line is: know what you're doing. The article has a point (locality of reference) and therefore it's worthwhile. The advise to simply not use linked lists, doesn't help.

What about .co.za?
Can you elaborate on how this is technically inaccurate? Is there something like a Flesch-Kincaid test for intelligence?
But as you said yourself, there are situations in which this 'humor' is appropriate. The official blog of a government agency is definitely not the place. I would expect this type of language from a no-name blog by a person with the grammar of 16 year-old.
the % would not matter if you can fool it 100% in a well defined flow...
The article has some good points about cache locality, but to suggest that you should never, EVER use linked-list is just terrible, terrible, terrible advice.
As apathetic as I am towards anon, lulzsec and hacktivism in general sometimes I can't help pausing and thinking "I live in a would where people are battling digitally. That's fucking cool."
Have you or anyone else had luck with LiveReload and Windows? My main gripe with LiveReload is the requirement of Ruby, I don't code in Ruby so it seems a little unnecessary for me to install it just for reloading a page.
No, but the post I refered to specifically mentioned a HR department and the coding problem was very simple leading me to believe they had absolutely no coding experience.
Apple's new iPad: Hands-on
Yes, but that's the key - in private. There are jokes I use with my friends, that I would NEVER use in public situation.
Well we should obviously NEVER EVER use any LISP derivatives (car/cdr/cons).

These sort of articles make me sigh. They are narrow minded and miss the point that everything is a compromise and choosing the right compromise is the art, not a bunch of explicit rules.

On the subject, I don't think a real native LISP machine would have cache locality problems. An x86 perhaps which brings in the question that doesn't the architecture define what is good and bad and isn't it a compiler's job to make this issue go away (not ours).
This sort of thing has been going on for a very long time. See this, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_mania
"too" ;)

I think there actually is something to be said for PR people having good spelling and grammar.

The way this blog post is written might give the impression that the TSA is not a professional organization. It reflects poorly on the agency. It might lead one to the conclusion that if the public face of the TSA can't communicate effectively, the organization might have other problems as well.

edit: I just looked at the blogger's bio (http://blog.tsa.gov/2008/01/meet-our-bloggers_29.html), here's the interesting bit for context:

> I started with the TSA in September 2002. I worked at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) for 5 years and am currently residing at TSA headquarters. I started as a Transportation Security Officer (TSO), and have since been promoted to a Social Media Analyst with the Office of Strategic Communications and Public Affairs to manage and write for the Blog.

>Off topic: Is there a way of detecting which effect a site is experiencing?

I'm not familiar with a way. Some ideas:

* Have Alexa/etc. report real time data including referrers. This requires that work is done by one of the few companies that gets this data.

* Create a site that just monitors which links show up on a manually created list of popular URLs. This would only be an estimate, though since it wouldn't view actual traffic.

* Have people who run sites that might get killed include some code that checks the logs/analytics and reports heavy activity. This is problematic since it requires each site in question to prepare for getting lots of traffic.

As soon as I looked at your date picker I said to myself 'shame it doesn't do time'.

Integrating your new time picker into the date one makes sense: Date and Time are inseparable; time adding further precision.
I don't represent the normal user, but I want to provide a datapoint.

I pirate music and movies a lot. I also go to the movies and buy the CDs of my favorite bands, but I only do so for content which is worth it. The biggest problem with movies is that you can't tell much about their quality from a trailer. And I also find the music industry to be disgusting lately, so I'm grateful to a couple of bands that kept their genre and that aren't subject to the latest trends.

For books I have a different behavior. The thing with my Kindle is that I can always download a couple of chapters to see if I actually like the author's style and if it's what I really want. Also I don't read more than 2-3 books per month, so I don't go on buying sprees, this reading habit of mine being actually cheap.

Therefore I only pirated one or two books for my Kindle at first, before I discovered the convenience of buying them straight from Amazon. It takes less time and reading the reviews of other people makes it valuable to visit the store first, then from there downloading a sample or buying it is just one click away.

So I do not believe that DRM-free books will be bad for authors. It's in fact quite the opposite for me, because when reading a book I end up being really grateful in case I like it, so I have this extreme urge to reward the author. And this happens for every book I read, because the selection process is extremely efficient, as I said, which makes paying for books a no-brainer.
Currently I'm using a heavily hacked third party time picker that was patched onto jquery ui datepicker, and half of the advanced datepicker functions don't work or work badly. It took me a day of research and at least two days of hacking to make this work well: http://imgur.com/87e9g.png , I'd love to see a replacement that just works without any hacking needed :)
Sorry for grammar policing, but... It's 'utmost', not 'up most'.
Until then, why do not we all just stay away from the linked-list for the time being? After all C++ is all about performance - and linked-list is not!

No, thank you. Instead, why don't we try and understand the benefits and pitfalls of various data structures? Although linked lists may not be a great generic data structure, they can be incredibly useful for certain types of actions. Enumerating their strengths is a much more useful exercise than asserting sweeping generalizations.

As for your example: any stack or queue data structure is more efficiently implemented with a linked list than an array/vector. (Or any data structure that just needs to do operations on the head/tail of a data structure.)

I don't know. It was better than the last announcement, the day before Steve died. But then, I suspect that none of them were at their best that day. At any rate Tim seemed much more relaxed this time round. There were moments where he really did seem to be enjoying himself - the big thumbs up after the Siri Japan demonstration springs to mind, but there were a couple of other moments too.

I'm already quite familiar with arduino as we used it a bit at school(had a project where we built and programmed dmx-ethernet converter with an add-on dmx-shield) and took bit of intrest in arduinos.

I said I have some experience with C -based languages, but that doesnt mean i would be sticking with just C, as i have have taken strong interest in C++, which is likely going to be my #1 language.

Python sounds decent, but i heard some heavy recommendations to learn Lua for the games from my contacts working on gaming companies (in finland there are loads of smaller and bigger gaming companies rightnow...)

Anyway as I have been discussing about this with my friends and contacts I've gotten an impression that I should also Learn some kind of web -enviroment programming/scripting language such as jsc or php (though I've been considering mostly learning some Lisp and proceeding to Perl)

Currently my cocktail of languages looks like this

C ->C++
Fortran (though going to learn on my own accord, just to understand how things worked in past)
Lisp ->Perl
Lua

You were not :) I was really hoping for it. All in all I think it was a very "play it safe" upgrade.
Well I have no problem with them having a 2GB plan for people with only a smaller need to surf and check email but want good speed.

They do lack a plan with a decent cap, I can live without unlimited but the cap should be decent.

On my non-us LTE plan they reserve the right to throttle it if I use more than 30 GB a month. I think thats a decent cap (the price is approx. 52 USD a month including 25% VAT, cheaper plans with less data is available).

It's "action at a distance", it's very, very hard to understand and debug what happens.
It's a nice language and a nice platform. The new ASP.NET MVC and EntityFramework stuff is very nicely done too. The community is in the lift as well thanks to the professional stackoverflow network and initiatives like NuGet. It really isn't a bad place to work in. Same deal goes with Visual Basic. Same power, different (imo easier to read, more annoying to write) syntax.

But for a low-budget startup the licensing costs are what'll get you in the long run. Stick with something free to use like ruby, javascript, php, etc.
At least in the UK the data is certainly from recent OSM as changes I personally made to my local area are clearly present in both.

edit: the OSM mailing list seems to think it's (at least based on) public domain government TIGER and NHD data in the US, but OSM from 1st-7th April 2010 in many (all?) other areas.
As an aside, on recent hardware it's not as long as it used to be, you certainly can compile the base system (kernel, glibc, udev, and most base commands) in a single 8 hours day.

ARGHH. Despite what I said I fucking hate typos, to the extent that most of my friends now correct their own when texting/IMing just so I don't do it for them.

To the rest of your comment: I completely agree that it reflects badly on the TSA, just not that it means the individual is stupid. Much the same as a company that has a website that looks like it was designed literally by a 6 year old in MS paint has clearly done something moronic, but the fact that they aren't artistic doesn't mean the person who made it is not intelligent.
I understand that. The point is there are very few (if any) single security layers, physical or digital, that can claim otherwise, i.e. that can't be "fooled 100% in a well defined flow". People here should be aware of that more than most.

Too obvious! It's provocation. Soon or later Anons will make a mistake by getting out of their rabbit holes. These immediate hit back type of reactions is a weak point.

Biological virus behaving like this with a long incubation delay while keeping their ability to contaminate others are the most harmful.

Anon's justifying their activity with good cause motives doesn't make sense. There are many other ways to act efficiently in favor of these good causes without using dark forces. These strategies have already been proven to be very effective. Consider Martin Luther King, Gandi, Mandela. One single man managed to push empires and systems on their knees and surrender. These people didn't use their fists, weapons or bombs and certainly didn't leverage their cause by terror on harming or killing innocent people.

My impression is that Anons are people who by their skills manage to take control of computers and have, by this, gained power to harm. There is a very thin and fuzzy line between getting control of things (neutral) and acting to harm and justifying it by a good cause.

The feeling one may have when getting such power in our hands make it very easy to fall on the dark force side. The good cause justifications are just tactics to neutralize their own consciousness. The more people they manage to convince by it, the stronger the muzzling of their own consciousness become.

If you take 5 minutes to think about it, you'll understand that there is not much difference with terrorist's rationale. The degree of harm is of course not comparable, but it is the same logical mechanism in play and which is obviously wrong in many ways. It has been proven to be a dead end for terrorists as well as for country leaders. It is just a matter of time.

If someone has truly the desire to act to make this world a better place and contribute to make change what has to change, then there are many more efficient methods that don't require to use dark forces. One of the thing that makes them more efficient is just because of that, they don't use dark force.

Yeah, iOS device GPUs support lossy texture compression in the form of PVRTC. There's no lossless texture compression support, as far as I know. (I'm talking in-memory here, obviously, not on disk as PNG or JPEG or whatever else.)
I don't think Apple has to worry about the lead times for "console gaming" that MS and Sony and Nintendo do. They don't have a "buy-in-store" business to protect the way the other makers do, something that bit Sony really hard with the PSP Go launch. Apple also has its own stores and some eager retailers that don't want to be shut out of the iPad (3rd) Christmas rush.

I think they could end up doing some serious gaming on the new Apple TV, especially if they focus on streaming the game app into the Apple TV's limited local storage, rather than having them all downloaded locally. The Apple TV is also an AirPlay receiver, and that means that iPads and iTouches make great game CPUs and controllers for the big screen.

Examples based on integers. This is lame, because moving integers in vectors is only memcpy call.

Linked-list is better for heavy objects. Inserting heavy objects into middle of container causes N copy-constructors calls. Here comes the pain.

Some kind of medium between vectors and lists is vector of pointers(or indexes) to objects (stored in another vector). You need to divide storing from ordering, and you get positives side of each variant.
